Two women tell WIRED that when they were 18-year-old college freshmen, John McEntee, a former Trump administration official and cofounder of a Peter Thiel–backed dating app, behaved in ways they considered inappropriate in online conversations.
I mean, age of attraction is different for everyone and tbh I don’t have an “absolute” problem with a 33yo consensually hooking up with a 18yo. To me, it’s simply as weird as hooking up with a senior citizen.
But as this case once again shows, often times the people who go for much younger ones are ignoring when those feel uncomfortable, are not willing to consent, and keep pushing for something. And that is straight up inacceptable.
I’m almost 50 and the thought of talking to 18 year olds in any way other then being “old enough to be their dad” is FUCKING CREEPY
JFK guys, come on! They are still kids regardless of their age of legality. You wanna flirt, at least look for someone of drinking age…
I’m 35 and feel the same way. 25 is the absolute lowest I’ll even consider.
I’ve heard people argue for (age)x.5+7=not creepy. Seems moderately reasonable.
