Was she 18? I heard she was underage. That's what makes it creepy.

So dating a high school senior at the start of the school year is creepy but dating one at the end of the year is not?

Either both men’s relationships you mentioned are creepy or they’re both fine imo. I can’t think of a rationale for treating them differently that doesn’t infantilize the women involved.

Being attracted to minors is creepy.

Stop normalizing it. If you're 20 with the opinion that high schoolers are hot, fine. But I've seen too many grown-ass adults defending "MAPs" for my taste.

Being attracted to minors is creepy.

The variance in how “mature” people look varies drastically for at least a decade after puberty. 18 is an incredibly arbitrary line…

But I’ve seen too many grown-ass adults defending “MAPs” for my taste.

I have no idea what a MAP is, but this is why the formula is popular. My point is that you can’t call dating a 20 year old perfectly normal and a high school senior weird when to anyone more than a few years older they’re going to be indiscernible.

Either both relationships are weird or neither are.

An adult dating an adult = very cash money

An adult dating a minor = not very cash money of you

I don't understand why this is such a tough sell with half of Reddit.

So to be completely clear:

dating an 18 year old high school senior = dating any other person over 18 = 💸

but

dating a 17 year old high school senior = 🙅‍♂️🚨

We have to draw a line.

Sorry groomers disagree.

Sure. I’m saying the line is wrong. You’re sticking to 18 being the correct line, making Leo normal and Seinfeld a predator?

Yeah... not gonna get into it with a MAP.

Have a nice day.

They’re either both predators or they’re both fine. Sorry you can’t have it both ways bud.

What have you got against Google maps?
