At 28, is going for 18 and 19 year old women "predatory"?

[LonelyAndBig]

I am almost 28 and always liked younger women. I also seek a woman without a romantic past, so younger women are my best option for that. What do you think?

Yes

No

See poll

The fact that you’re dead set on finding a woman who is fresh out of high school is extremely weird and also seems a bit predatory. You’re pushing 30, why not find someone around your own age? Even a 25 year old is a “younger” woman.

You can find a religious woman in her 20s. She likely would not have had a romantic past. You do realize that even 18 or 19 year olds could have been intimate with someone before, right? Also, why the “no romantic past” thing?

See the gender differences in this poll. It's because women at that age don't want to be creeped on by a old man. At 18 I wouldn't have been caught dead with a old ass 28 year old man. Dating a teenager is what predators do so maybe try changing you mindset and going to therapy cuz being seen as a creepy predator is not what you want to be known for. Learn how to date women your own age.

I want a woman without a romantic past, period. She doesn't have to be 18. She can be in her early 20s.

[Apple1996]

That is still extremely controlling regardless of the girls age. You can just expect a girl to have no romantic past

I don't see how! They're legal!! Dad started dating mom when he was 30 and she was 20. They just missed their 50th anniversary because dad died early that year! She died 10 years later and took his ashes with her.

Going for any woman or any age CAN be predatory if the approach is, but if you casually ask another adult out, no that is not predatory irrespective of how others may take it.

I love how the men on here are justifying this as if it's okay 🙄

The fact you're targeting a specific age range, particularly women that young, with minimal dating and sexual experience, comes off as creepy. Just because it's legal doesn't mean you should aim for girls that young.

There are plenty of mature, Christian, well rounded women around your age or slightly younger (in their mid 20s). Try looking harder.

Maybe he isn't christian. He said he wants a women without a romantic pass. I think it makes sense.

[MzAsh]

Since your aim is a woman without a romantic part, that is definitely a red flag that you have some kind of sketchy and entitled agenda. Women are allowed to have a past besides you. You’ll be fine.

[BUTIMRIGHTTHO]

It's his life. You're so controlling.

[MzAsh]

Of course it’s his life. Never said it wasn’t. He asked so I gave my opinion.

[FilmGuy93]

Technically, no, but it's shady AF and y'all probably won't be on the same page about enough in life to make the relationship work longer term.

Nah bro go for 18 or 19
I would like to fuck a 17 year old or 16 year old girl but Wouldn’t be able to because it would be a crime
Younger makes it more of a turn on
For a reason I don’t know 🤷‍♂️ 😆

[LonelyAndBig]

Same way man. Luckily age of consent is 16 most places

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah

[AsaKyo]

Yeah, you're almost 30
Find someone also closer to 30

[LonelyAndBig]

Is there anyone close to my age without a romantic past, meaning no previous boyfriends or first love?

[AsaKyo]

I'm sure there is

It's okay when a woman does it but not a man I guess.

[kataang]

It’s weird. You should just find a religious woman around your age.

[MiseriaCantareAFI]

its highly cliche, and boring, for an older man to go after a younger woman

my mom broke that, by going after a younger man

you hear this ladies

IT IS OK TO DO THAT

[Anonymous]

As a 20 year old it's kind of weird. Also kind of unusual that you don't want a woman with a romantic past. Are you also a virgin?

[Shamalien]

Adults trying to date adults is not predatory.
