Do any of you have an attraction towards teen girls? [FYI I'm 18yo]

Let me start by saying that I have no intention on breaking the law. The age of consent in many states in the US is 16 or 17. The age of consent in many European countries is 15-16. This post doesn't refer to cases where it is obviously illegal.

All that being said, do you guys think the stigma against being attracted to young (15-18) girls is unfair? I used to think it wasn't but now that I'm 18 myself I can't imagine how I'm supposed to suddenly not be attracted to high school-age girls anymore. I still find some 16 year olds from my old high school attractive and I don't see that changing as I age. I remember when I used to be 16 years old and I believe I was totally capable of giving consent. I wouldn't have considered myself "taken advantage of" if a woman in her 20s or 30s slept with me. Nothing has really changed developmentally since then. Are my thoughts evil? Or is there some truth to what I write? Please guide me through this guys.

Again, I do not endorse breaking the law. I know this is a controversial post, maybe the most controversial on this site, but I'd like to hear your takes.

If you are fairly young yourself there is nothing wrong with a few years in between. But even if legal in some places, there are a lot of men in their late 30s or much older ones who look at teenage girls. They are crossing a line there...

Age gaps are weirder when both are young, it is more accepted when she is in her 20s and he is, say, 30.

My ex gf is 23 and dating a 52 year old dude. While the couple is really cute looking (he looks very young), her parents are very upset about it.

 

Ok but why are they crossing the line? I'm attracted to 16 year olds right now. Is that supposed to gradually go away as I get older? I don't think that will happen.

 

When you were younger you were probably attracted to 9 year olds, did that go away? As you age you become attracted to different things. Hopefully as you age the lower number becomes at least 18.

"yeah, thats right" High-Five
 

All I am saying is, if a guy is considerably older than the girl, then it gets weird. A man in his 30s or even older has no business looking at a girl who is 16. That is creepy. It isn't about attraction, men are attracted to a lot of things. A girl at that age is not fully developed emotionally or mentally, she may have low self esteem or is easily impressed. As a partner she might be vulnerable.

This would be different if she is 30 and he is 45.

F16 and M18 should be fine, IMO.

 

To give you perspective, I spent my high school days constantly befriending and studying with girls because all I could think about was seeing if I could get a peek at their assets (I went to a high school with no dress-code in a hot part of the states, and I was a hormone-raging teen). You have no idea the things I saw. 

Girls would naturally gravitate towards me because I was top of my class (I graduated salutatorian), so all the girls would come to me for help on homework, projects, etc. It was great. 

 

No it's not weird.

I used to think I wouldn't see the attraction to 16 yr olds changing either, but it does (around 20 or 21 for me, but I developed slowly). Not that you don't think they have nice bodies, but you just would feel weird being with them.

IMO consent and development is all that should matter, and society has it a little backwards with these strict numbers.

18 & 16 is fine, take advantage of it while you still can but don't worry about the future. Let older you deal with that and enjoy life today. 👍

 

Again with the “cuck”.  You guys really can’t stop using that word.

Please enlighten me then, why can’t women ever be experienced in relationships?  Is there anything stopping them?

 

I was so fake in high school. Hung out with the dumb high school frat bros and fucked dumb HS chicks up. I used to think it would change in college once I got out of my middle-of-nowhere hillbilly high school of dumbasses. At HYPS now, girls are just as dumb, just have richer parents. There are a few smart ones but they are the minority and usually not as attractive -- Sadly I'm too much of a herd-mentality follower to try and engage with them because they're "weird" or whatever so I just continue being fake and acting dumb to get the hot ones. I feel like I will have to be fake forever :(

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this but it's not like you never see younger girls as attractive ever again but the idea of being with them (romantically) is (or should be) repulsive because 16 year olds (and even 18 year olds) are VERY immature. Of course I can say "oh that girl has a pretty face" but that's as far as it goes. This might not be obvious to you until you grow a little older (I'm talking 3-4 years). I am only half a decade older than that age range and I wouldn't dream of having anything to do with girls that age. The difference in life experiences is so drastic. 

 

Well I don't think anyone is talking about being in long-term romantic relationship with 16-18 year olds. I think it's more of they have smokin' hot bodies and having the desire to have a quickie with them
