It is a reality that 16 or 17yr olds have relationships. Actually, this is actively promoted by the mass media and has been promoted ever since the 1950s. However, the question of age difference has become an increasingly weird subject. Just 10-20yrs ago, a couple with her aged 17 and him aged 21 wouldn’t raise an eyebrow. Today it does. Going to the 1960s, a Christian couple with her being 16 and him being 30 also didn’t raise much eyebrows. But today it can land you in jail for decades.
Should society not sit down and set clear societal, common sense rules? They can’t have it both ways, promote (sexual) relationships for teenagers and then say a fuzzily defined age difference is evil, when it wasn’t evil in the past.
tldr - it should either be, no relationships before you turn 18... or you are fine starting 15 or 16 even with a larger age difference... or just define an acceptable age difference like half your age plus 7 as legally and societally accepted.
Yes, it seems fine. But in America, this can mean 20yrs of prison.

Absolutely no way she's 16. 20 at the very youngest.
Noah Gomez
Christ 16 going on 23, at 25 she'll look like a grandma. Let's talk about the women aging problem.
Jacob Jones
why would any dude over the age of 21 want to hang out with annoying 16 year old girls?
Jordan Sanders
Is that the issue? I mean, it probably depends on her IQ. If she is smart, you might have the same types of conversations as with a not so smart 25yr old.

>Just 10-20yrs ago, a couple with her aged 17 and him aged 21 wouldn’t raise an eyebrow That's not true. If girl in high school was dating a guy in university - or a grad student (!) that would have raised a lot of eyebrows where I come from.
Ethan Lee
Interesting. We had girls in high school date people aged 18 to 25 here and nobody said anything. Actually, all the other girls were envious because those guys had cars, motorcycles and often some money when they had already started working.
Nathaniel Bell
P.S. it would raise eyebrows for a 16yr old guy have 21yr old girlfriend. Never seen this happen, I guess people would ask what is wrong with her to date a kid.
Ethan Gomez
You mean homosexuality is encouraged and teenage-adult homo relationships are ok, but heterosexual relationships are not?
I know a Canadian TV show, “Heartland” and I am certain there are many underage couples on there, one including one with a guy older than the main character (underage) girl.

She should get arrested for Dating a conehead manlet who tries to appear bigger through his hairstyle.

Christian Cruz
I was making a joke about Canadians fucking their dogs. It is legal to fuck dogs in Canada, did you know that?
Cameron Stewart
Sauce? Pretty sure AOC in all states is 16
Leo Brown
That is disturbing to say the least. I am very much into animal welfare and am not ok with abusing dogs in any way form and shape.

gas yourself.

Not everywhere is 16 legal. You are half 16 and 17 and half the population in 18 aoc states.
If you ask me, there should be a federal law to uniformally set it to 16. How can it make sense to drive with your gf on vacation to California and be arrested there, while in Seattle you are good.
epstein was raping toddlers from 3rd world countries all the talk of teenagers is a distraction
Leo Gonzalez
The average age for marriage/consent before the civil war was 12. In the 50s-60s rock stars would be bedding 14yr olds and their liberal parents would approve. In the 80s many places still considered 15 legal. You can't judge the past by today's standards.
Jonathan Ortiz
In Burgerland it's admired of you're an 18yr old pornstar but all hell breaks loose if a 17yr is in a relationship with an older well off man that could lead to marriage
Joseph Price
This, they are spinning it this way on purpose.
Luke Lewis
And they complained about Roy Moore courting a 16 year old when he was 25. Hypocrites.
David Russell
Wikipedia recently deleted info about how Vatican City used to have an age of consent of 12 until only ten years ago.
