Is 21 the youngest age a guy can date a girl where it’s not creepy?

[Anonymous]

Okay ever since Leo DiCaprio dated that 19 year old girl which is legal everyone called him out for it. Now while someone at least 18 is legal I have realized that it is creepy and which is why I think that the youngest age for someone to date should be 21.

I think a guy his age dating an 19 year old is borderline toxic sounding. It's legal but most 19 year olds still and act and think like children. If he wanted a younger lover - he could have chosen a 35 year old - still decades younger than him but not a little girl with no protection from dating disappointments and disasters. When I was 18 a guy way older than me tried to date me and I became depressed when he dumped me, it was the most painful thing that ever happened to me cause I hadn't matured yet and could not handle a break up by somebody less than 10 years older than me but with the maturity of somebody over 30 years older than me.

I am only 18 and have dated two guys more than twice my age or more. Life is short, live it.

No. That's stupid. If both parties are above the legal age of consent where they're at (not where all the rest of us armchair judges are at) and they are consenting and they are happy, go for it.

Leo can date whoever he wants above the legal AOC

it's his choice who he wants to spend his time with. heaven forbid a man has any preferences or agency to his life.

I have almost always dated older than I am, but if I were 50 and some 18 year old and I hit it off, I would give exactly zero F's what the public thought about it.

I firmly believe that if the older partner is old enough to be their parent they look like a creepy predator.

It depends on how old she is.

If she's at least 18, she's fair game.
