No acting lewd toward a 17 year old does not make you pedo.. to be a pedophile means that you are attracted to pre pubescent children .. huge major difference there.. a 17 year old woman has past puberty and is sexually developed so it's not the same thing as a grown man looking at a pre pubescent girl and having lewd thoughts. If your under 21 and your acting lewd with a 17 year old I don't see a problem.. if your 33 like me then yeah it's wrong but not illegal.. But to be honest I would think something is wrong with a guy my age if he was acting lewd toward a 17 year old. Your point would be better served on how society looks at these hot teachers who have had sex with 13 year old boys.. How society looks at the boys being lucky when a 25 year old teacher has sex with a 13 year old girl the same people would want the death penalty. But a grown woman lusting over a 17 year old that is just about a legal adult and legal for that woman to have sex with in most places in my opinion is wrong for other reason but it's not pedo and not legally wrong
To me, if I'm old enough to have given birth to someone, it's wrong to date them. My limit it pretty much 10 years difference but only because I'm older. If I were 28, I'd in no way date an 18 year old. Hell, even when I was 18, I avoided 18 year olds.
Yeah, but when I'm in my mid/late-40's and hitting that mid life crisis....an 18-25 year old is going to look preeeeeetty damn good.
Indeed....but its so hard to tell now a days how old a girl is, you pretty much have to ask her for ID before getting into any in depth conversation with them. The 14-year-olds look 18, the 18-year-olds look 25 and the 25-year-olds look 30. Its sooo easy to get yourself into trouble now a days, I don't even try anymore.
It goes the other way too, I've seen 30+ year old gals who I'd swear visually appear still in the teens. My wife for example, I didn't approach her at first because of what I thought her age might have been. (Come to find out she was 30)
I hear ya....I just know when I was 14-years old, 14-year-old girls weren't sporting C&D-cups, asses shaped like an apples and legs up to their ears. Nor were they dressing nearly as provocatively now. I was lucky to get a side view of a B-cup in those formless Iron Maiden T-shirts, high waisted acid washed jeans and moussed bangs. And damned was I grateful when I did. Now it seems to be on display for all to see. Little is left to the imagination anymore. No wonder teenagers are so promiscuous now a days. There wasn’t any such thing as a “blow job” party when I was a teen!!! Hell, if my sister ever left the house in a mid drift, painted on, paper thin T-shirt, a skirt so short you need to shave (and I don’t mean your legs) and a pink T-Bar hanging out the back….my mother would have murdered her. Now, it seems to be the norm and these parents are actually encouraging their kids to express themselves, or turning a blind eye just because they don’t want to deal with them. I tell ya…I in no way, shape or form agree with pedophilia, but in this day and age, I can certainly understand why it’s become so rampant. These little girls are dressing and painting themselves up like slutty women at school, being promiscuous (or at least projecting the image) with anyone who will give them an ounce of attention, and then shaking their ass, or making out with their female friends on Youtube and the parents are completely shocked when little Chelsy, or Courtney (don’t even get me started on the stupid names parents are giving their kids) is sexually assaulted at a house party, or gawked at by a middle aged man. Give your heads a shake parents and bare some of the responsibility here!!! I've become somewhat of a surrogate uncle to an ex girlfriends little girl over the years. I've known her since she was 14-months and she just turned 6-years-old last month. I'll be damned in a couple of years if she's even going to start layering on the makeup at 8 or 9-years-old like some of the girls do today, never mind dressing like a whore when she hits her early teens.
Brian, I'm thinking of naming my upcoming kid Amy but I want to spell it Aymee, thoughts? (that was just wrong I know)
*looks over 88sleeper's shoulder* yeah dude, she's still standing there. j/k I'm glad to see we got some good discussions out of this topic. I just got a bit more upset at the socially acceptable standards more than I normally do yesterday. Not sure why it struck a nerve, but it did. carry on....
I think we agree on everything.. I knew a guy years ago who was 31 or and dating a 17 year old.. I thought he was a perv and had something wrong with him.. A girl-woman at that age may have all the parts but upstairs she is still a kid and will act like a kid and it's just wrong. but a 19 year old with a 17 year old is ok in my book
