Would this bother you?

[Anonymous]

If your 26 year old friend had an 18 year old girlfriend or boyfriend and they started when the boy/girl were 17 but it was legal would you care?

I mean started having sex

[AviatorTom]

What others do is their own business... unless it directly affects me. In this, case, that's two strangers doing what they want... not my job to intervene.

[Asker]

I understand but it's still someone you know

[AviatorTom]

Knowing someone doesn't give me a right to interfere in their personal business.

[Asker]

OK I agree

[DizzyDesii]

If they started at 17, nah i’d look at them with disgust. Hell even if they’re 18, not all 18 year olds have graduated HS just yet. The groomer wouldn’t be my friend anymore

[Asker]

Fair enough

[HelpfulWoman]

its ALWAYS dodgy when someone has to go for a just turned legal person. Way to wave the red flags that they can't date their own age so goes younger and dumber!

[Asker]

Yes but what would you do

[OlderAndWiser]

I would certainly wonder why they wanted someone with such an age difference. An eight year gap is huge when the younger partner is only 18.

[Summeroflove]

Sometimes things are questionable. Even if something is technically legal. It depends on the intent behind it

[Apple1996]

I wouldn't be friends with a pedo

[Asker]

Not a pedo but ok

[Apple1996]

Borderline pedo*

[Asker]

Yeah

[trexxx707]

Not really. It's not my business to get involved regardless of my own personal views on that kinda stuff. Everyone has a different idea of what is moral or acceptable or "good"...

18 doesn't change much from 17 anyway. The hunan brain only is fully developed after age 25.

[ohmyguy]

Only if i knew my friend was only interested in taking advantage of her... but if they were about building a solid relationship.. n growing with each other than id have no problem... n id try n be a positive influence on them

[Asker]

It would be a fling

[Asker]

Could be any gender

[Asker]

I mean they are just having sex

[LiamJHayden]

I have always personally preferred older women, so I would not be able to relate to that preference he/she has. But if it were legal, I would mind my business.

[Saiesh30]

Having sex with a minor basically is bothersome. To think of it, seems even sickening to me.

[Asker]

What would you do in this scenario

[Saiesh30]

If it's a person I know, least I'd do is talk about it. People don't listen these days though. But at least I'd tell them it ain't right.

[Gent207-2]

Yes aa it begs to wonder what else they are capable of and what if this stuff was happening with someone else Eben younger

[Joshydavid25]

I would think they were a sleezeball, and would probably distance myself away.. So yeah I probably would care..

[Asker]

With either gender?

[Joshydavid25]

Of course.. You know we conversed about this..

[Asker]

Just checking cause sleezeball is usually used on men

[Joshydavid25]

Shoo, I use it on women too.. Lmao..

[RavVid]

Legal is legal but I would go for supra legal. Legal to vote, drive, shoot a gun as well as have sex with anyone of any age.

[Alex8736]

Would be none of my business unless it was not of legal age

[Matilde03]

I had my second child at 17…an he was 27. I was really in love with him too.

[Anonymous]

I think something is messed up the guy if he is going after a 17 year old in the first place

[Surely]

Why should I worry about what two consenting adults do?

[007kingifrit]

not really, i banged a girl 13 years younger than me a weekend or two ago!

[slatyb]

It depends on how he treats her.

[Asker]

I never mentioned a gender

[slatyb]

Good point. Same answer -- it depends on how the older person treats the younger. But in general I'm leery of relationships between adults over about 23 and teens.

[Likes2drive]

Why should I care? That’s their business

[BoopBoopBeep]

If it's legal I don't care.

[Bricealan]

Would not bother me.

[Ameer99]

No I don't care because it's legal

[eagle1951]

nope

[Asker]

Check for updates

[NeverGiveUp69]

If it is legal then let them be

[Jerre]

Most likely it would not bother me

[LunarEclipse433]

If it was consensual it wouldn’t bother me.

[Anonymous]

No, because its none of my business.

[Mansearching]

18 is legal.

[Asker]

But they would start when they were 17

[Mansearching]

Technically its statutory rape. Being told that they started at 17 and proving are different things.

[NotInterestedSorry]

Depends on the country. Legal age of consent in some countries are 16 so a 30 year old can legally have sex with a 16 year old and nothing would happen to him

[B5567]

P3dophilia.

[Asker]

Not really

[B5567]

That would be 3 years older than me.. 😐

[Asker]

Do you think gender matters

[B5567]

Nope

[DextroShade]

I would not care.

[Asker]

I bet you would

[Joker_]

not at all
