Then it's their freewill

@sunnyjester-27 We should when it comes to relationship
cosmicwalrus-98 OP

sharpdolphin-67

yeah yeah something like that

quickbadger-36

For me,I would probably do a relationship with 5 or 7 years different at most

sharpdolphin-67

im 27, the lowest i would date an adult would be around 22-23 but preferably i rather date somebody around my age or woman older than me by 1-2 years

sharpdolphin-67

preferences ya know

@quickbadger-36 For me,I would probably do a relationship with 5 or 7 years different at most
cosmicwalrus-98 OP

you do you, im saying if its 2 consenting adults let them make their choice without being judged. thats all

sunnyjester-27

For me I can't date anyone adult than my parents or their age mates, it so weird, disrespectful

@cosmicwalrus-98 you do you, im saying if its 2 consenting adults let them make their choice without being judged. t…
quickbadger-36

Well, at this point in this can't even judge relationships like that

quickbadger-36

The least weird things we have seen

@sunnyjester-27 For me I can't date anyone adult than my parents or their age mates, it so weird, disrespectful
quickbadger-36

You would only go into a relationship when it's love right?

sunnyjester-27

My friend is 19 and her bf30 I judged and everyone around did and later on she realized her mistakes

@cosmicwalrus-98 if female bran doesnt develop until 25 raise age of consent to 25?
snowyjungle-82

Someone like you would be in a relationship with a 6yrs old if consent was reduced to 6

@sunnyjester-27 My friend is 19 and her bf30 I judged and everyone around did and later on she realized her mistakes
quickbadger-36

Was there anything wrong with it besides the age. Just curious

sharpdolphin-67

they prolly judge the age gap for sure

@sunnyjester-27 My friend is 19 and her bf30 I judged and everyone around did and later on she realized her mistakes
cosmicwalrus-98 OP

your personal experience IS NOT data.
my friend walked near a black man and got robbed by a black man. he realized his mistake

you see how bad it soudns?

@quickbadger-36 You would only go into a relationship when it's love right?
sunnyjester-27

Yea but I don't go for anything in the name of love, it like saying I should stay w a man who beat we become I love him

@snowyjungle-82 And a predator nothing more
snowyjungle-82

Cus you just care about age not even the person's state of mind

@sharpdolphin-67 they prolly judge the age gap for sure
quickbadger-36

So it's not even judged based on what's actually happening in the relationship

@snowyjungle-82 Someone like you would be in a relationship with a 6yrs old if consent was reduced to 6
cosmicwalrus-98 OP

@quickbadger-36 So it's not even judged based on what's actually happening in the relationship

cosmicwalrus-98 OP

thats how weak it is

@cosmicwalrus-98 my pint is selective maturity. If you think 20 or so is undeveloped, then they shouldn't be able to…
happybeacon-57

I never said that a 20yo is undeveloped but still developing so yeah it’s ok for them to be able to make life choices and have their own « contribution » to society and idk where you live but the process is gradual. You don’t just throw someone into society at a specific age without a progressive approach and expect them to do well.

@cosmicwalrus-98 just giving an example in your own language to show you how bigoted you sound
sunnyjester-27

But trying to sound racist?

@cosmicwalrus-98 wtf. stop accusing me of being that
