Are men biologically programmed to be attracted to teen girls?

Biologically on a basic level we’re programmed to be attracted to the opposite sex to some degree once they enter puberty. Culturally our standards have varied over time and across cultures. When life expectancy was much lower due to a lack of surgical knowledge and absence of antibiotics a minimum age for marriage for women was 12 and for boys was 14. Sometimes young girls were married off to wealthier men to form family alliances. Guys and girls courted very young just like teens do now, but often didn’t get married until closer to 20 when a man had established himself enough to get the father’s permission for marriage if he didn’t come from wealth. None the less, they were working toward getting married much younger. Marriage was a big goal in that day and age. Life conditions and expectations for education and financial stability have changed dramatically, thus the age of marriage has been pushed later into life. Sex however is acceptable outside of wedlock these days so cultural norms have just changed. All animals start attempting to mate once they hit puberty. They might be clumsy and inexperienced at first, but they are trying once they are physically capable of reproduction. To act like that’s not real is just ignorant. That said, culturally we’re programmed to seek out a certain level of maturity beyond just reproduction in this day and age because we live in an age of high consequence. Abortions, unbalanced divorce laws, high divorce rates, STDs, high cost of living, high cost of medical care, high cost per child to raise until 18, etc. all raise standards/expectations for maturity. People don’t mate all willy nilly anymore. It not like you just knock up a girl and settle down with her by homesteading on some free land in a log cabin you build from trees you cut down for free and then just grow some vegetables to feed yourself and cut some firewood to stay warn. We live in a different age so we expect women to bring more to the table. Thus a lot of young women are more hassle than they are worth the older you get.

I think so. I think when girls start developing those physical features as well as a personality, those types of qualities attract men. I mean in other countries men marry women who are 16 years old. Am I saying that’s right? No I’m not. Don’t get that twisted. But as far as what age is legal that is a social construct. If the law allowed for men to have sex w girls who were 16 I guarantee there would be a lot of men who would. But the law says it’s not legal. Trust me a lot of men, have all these thoughts that women would find absolutely disgusting. But men don’t say so because they know women would want nothing to do w them.

Actually I've learned not to sexualize women from the start like I did when I was younger, it doesn't mean I can't see physically attraction tho, if a teenager has a beautiful appearance I can see it and I can identify it but I don't sexualize, which is what makes me different to a big percentage of men nowadays

No, teen girls are going through the stage of sexual maturity and have developed the physical and perhaps behavioral characteristics that attract males. As newly sexual beings they therefore attract a lot of male attention, even from those for whom it is wildly inappropriate agewise.

Healthy women that can get pregnant, technically. Of all the 18 year olds doing porn, How different do they visually look from when they were 17 a few days before? We just need to be more than animals with basic instincts, shouldn't be a hard bar to reach.

Fundamentally, yes. Natural selection pushes us towards those who exhibit the markers of youth, health, and fertility, since they give you the best odds of passing on your genes.

If we are, then I must be broken, because I have never found children attractive. 🤷‍♂️

Teen girls are seldom children.

[Jazzy54]

Absolutely not. Men who are attracted to teen girls are perverts.

Sounds like a predator's excuse for his creepy behavior.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Just those with the correct genetics or brainwashing society.

Not necessarily teens, but yes, men of all ages are genetically programmed to be most attracted to women between the ages of 18 and 28.

I wouldn't say teen, younger maybe

college age is probably a more correct age

Men are biologically made to think with little head

[DaveJord]

NO, we absolutely are not.
