Is there a difference between paedophiles and men who simply acknowledge a teen was attractive?

[Here4theshortterm]

I am referring to teenagers between 15 to 17 years old.

[Intraluminal]

Well yeah, of course I can tell you that a teenager, or even a guy is attractive, but I'm not a pedo nor gay. My judgement is not always "correct" in that teenage boys might not agree with my assessment, and my judgement on guys' attractiveness is apparently shitty, but I can still make an assessment.

I think the difference would be if they actually acted on their feeling or not

[jessuper]

It depends. Acknowledging someone as attractive would be just thinking, “Oh she’s pretty” or something along those lines. Now, if you’re 30 and lusting after a 15 year old girl, that is disgusting

teenagers between 15 to 17 years old aren't who pedophiles go for.

I guess you call them epheobiles

[GreenGold1992]

Yes, kids are underdeveloped while teenagers are developed, genius.

[bankrollsupreme]

Phedophiles act on their urges. If a teenager is cute. Good for you, but you still a minor

Yes, one will go to jail. The other will not.

Lol that's true. Are there a lot of men like the latter

[TheOtherManOnTheSide]

Big difference
