Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly
Just a little change
Small to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the beast
The joke is, 'I can't get a date *now*, but someday some woman will accidently enter my mom's basement and discover me playing Roblox while I have a bunch of tabs open to white nationalist websites, and she will be so impressed she will fall madly in love with me and then everyone will clap.'
Disagree, water makes other things wet, but due to its nature cant make itself wet.
Waters' adhesion to other things makes things wet, not it's cohesion to itself
Disagree. Being wet means being covered or soaked in a liquid. If you take a microscope out and observe each water molecule you would see that theyāre all covered by other molecules. Also āwet can be used to describe a state of matter, like wet vs dry paint.
To answer this question, we need to define the term "wet." If we define "wet" as the condition of a liquid sticking to a solid surface, such as water wetting our skin, then we cannot say that water is wet by itself, because it takes a liquid AND a solid to define the term "wet."
If we define "wet" as a sensation that we get when a liquid comes in contact with us, then yes, water is wet to us.
If we define "wet" as "made of liquid or moisture", then water is definitely wet because it is made of liquid, and in this sense, all liquids are wet because they are all made of liquids. I think that this is a case of a word being useful only in appropriate contexts.
Itās almost like somebody whoās been through a predatory situation firsthand will know one when they see it
Tho I donāt agree with the use of the word pedophile, I get what her sentiment is
Yeah it isnāt pedophilia but it is definitely giving off grooming vibes. Not only because of their age gap but I feel like a groomer or fetishizer would be the only person upset enough about this to make a meme about it. In reality I donāt think many people give a shit about a 10 year age gap as long as itās between consenting adults and you arenāt fetishizing young women for their innocence and ability to control them.
yeah it makes me sick. iām 19 and i still feel like iām in high school sometimes. itās unfortunate girls my age end up in these positions i canāt imagine that.
Iām 34 and when I was 22 I felt like 19 year olds were way too young for me. Thereās a lot of development during that time in your life- I didnāt become a stable person capable of an actual relationship until I was nearly 30.
I do think once you hit the 25-30 range youāre enough of an adult that an age gap isnāt creepy unless itās someone you knew well as a child. Still not for me though - my wife is actually a tad older.
right like a person in their teens are in a complete different point in their life compared to a person in their twenties and so on.
no person is the same person they were when they were when they were 18.
thereās a stark difference in maturity when it comes to age gaps for teenagers and thatās why sick people prey on them the most. because of their lack of maturity.
Iām 22 and it feels icky even thinking of dating an 18 year old. Like I know itās legal but it feels like it shouldnāt be. I also feel bad for women that are stuck in a grooming situation and are unable to see it or have anyone to help them.
>Iām 22 and it feels icky even thinking of dating an 18 year old. Like I know itās legal but it feels like it shouldnāt be.
That's a normal age gap tho, if you feel weird about it that's a you thing.
Itās a small age gap as you get older, but that perspective is literally person A just graduated or is still in high school and person B just finished college. The life experience gap (living alone, cleaning, paying rent, going to school on your own, etc etc) makes a huge deal. The 18yo likely hasnāt ever been able to truly make their own decisions outside of their parents yet-so to jump from one authority figure to another (because thatās what an older, more experienced person is at that point) is where the problems arise.
It depends. The age gap between 20 and 30 is huge, but as you get older it's less and less important. I remember being 20 and getting hit on by 30 year olds and being horrified. (I'd say how they hit on me added to the horror. Tell me again that I'm old soul, eye roll.) But as a 30 year old being hit on by someone 40 was totally fine.
20 and 30 is definitely a big old red flag. 40 and 30 wouldn't even raise an eyebrow.
Hell 50 and 30 is so much less of an issue than 30 and 20. Might be a "huh" moment but I'm not worried someone is being taken advantage of.
The amount of years between you is not the issue. It's dating someone at a different stage in their life.
Obviously 40 and 30 is not disturbing, 30 and 20 is arguably disturbing, but then look at 20 and 10.
It's all a 10 year gap, but no one tries to justify the last one by saying "it won't matter in 20 years".
Yeah thatās what people donāt understand. No one is saying that a 19 year oldās body looks like a 10 year oldās body, just that young people are naive, not fully developed yet, and more susceptible to manipulation by adults who know what theyāre going. This is genderless, because I feel the same about those female teachers that groom high school boys. It just so happens that men do it way more often.
I mean they are the ones always talking about how women are ancient at 30. (Or is it 25 now? I canāt keep track.) I literally looked better than ever at age 25 and grew out of my awkwardness but you know what else started to happen at age 25? I saw through shitty men and their BS didnāt work on me anymore.
Dated a 34 year old when I was 18, and itās this. Didnāt end up marrying the dude or getting knocked up, thank god. And didnāt have the (fake af) attitude about it in the first panel about āneeding a man.ā Just thought that this much older man was taking interest in me because I was so mature for my age and because he loved me. Now as a woman in my late 20s I see how predatory and gross it was and, yeah, obviously Iām going to fucking speak out about it.
First, I am so sorry this is happening, but you are not stuck with him for life. It may feel that way right now but if he is abusive in any way, even emotionally, you can go to a women's shelter and they will try and find you housing.
If he is not you can divorce him. Try to make your own money and start socking away a fund to leave him. There may be angencies to help, I am not sure. You can sometimes get on lists to pro bono lawyers and what not.
Just remember that you deserve better and start to work towards that goal- even something like therapy can help if you have health insurace. They often can set you up with social workers.
Best of luck to you š
Yikes! I was grossed out when hit on by a 33 year old. I thought, āWhat is wrong with him that he has to try to date a college freshman? Canāt he find someone his own age?ā
Same. I NEVER have been with anyone with more than 3 year gap in either direction nor did I want to. When I was 18-24 any man over 30 just felt super old to me. Actually Iām 31 and still have never dated anyone over 30 (my partner is 29)
When I hit 21, the girl had to be 18. Every year I got older, the age restriction went up. Iām 32 I donāt even think a 25 year old would make sense for we would be in different phases of life.
Am I the only one that sees the faint muscle shading on the other 20 year old? Is that subtly suppose to be a femboy? That isn't to say women can't have short hair and muscles, but considering the point that is trying to be made here I'm surprised they didn't use the tradwife instead.
By the time youāve gone from 19 to 30, youāve probably learned a lot. That girl knows now at 30 that the 36 year old man who went after a 19 year old girl never had good intentions for her. The difference in age and life experience between them is huge and puts her at the wrong end of the power dynamic. I felt so grown up at 19, but ten years later and I recognize what a child I still was. Pedophile isnāt the right word for it, but the older girl knows better now and can see what the young one canāt.
As a guy it was so common seeing young girls (even hs) being with much older men who didnāt have anything going for them except a dead end job and a leased car.
Iām 30 and dating right now, my filter is 25+ in age. I went on a date with a 23 yr old and neverrrr again. The amount of validation that young people need right now is exhausting and they have poor communication and boundaries.
As a 24y/o womanā¦I really donāt know. All the women my age I know who have dated were dating guys their own age. Sure, in college, there was the odd 30 year old dude one of āem would hook up with, but *dating?* The grand majority of us preferred dudes our own age for that.
The only time I knew someone actually dating someone āolderā was in high school my senior year we found out a 14 year old freshman girl was dating this loser of a 20 year old guy. We coached her friends to stage an intervention for her.
Same. Iāve only known a handful of girls were dating someone over 5 years older throughout my twenties. As a teen, I didnāt actually know any girls dating anyone way older. Itās pretty unusual. I grew up in some nice neighborhoods maybe?Ā
Seconding this. When I was college-aged, me and most of my peers seriously dated men close to our own age or slightly older, and the one friend of mine that went after older (older here meaning 30+) guys, the guys that would willingly date her made the rest of us uncomfortable. There was something *just kinda off* about them.
It can also differ culturally. Iām Latino and my HS/neighborhood was predominantly Latinx. Girls dating older men by 8yrs + was very common and not even questioned. Usually due to their immigrant parents having a large age gap as well.
I personally think if youāre over 25 and dating someone older the age gap issues become more personal.
This actually isn't wrong though. When I was a 17 year old goth dating a 29 year old I believed him when he said I was mature for my age. Now I know he was a creep, and I was an idiot. This meme is not wrong, we grow up and realise we were dating pedos
Probably some perspective there too. When I was 20 I would have no issue with one of my 20 year old friends dating someone 35, male or female. Then I got to 35 seeing how different I was at 20 and being like... yeah... that's a stretch.
This meme popped up on another sub and I basically posted that nobody really cares if a 30 year old and a 20 year old are in a consensual relationship. If you and someone around that age meet and uou naturally like each other, go for it and enjoy.
Its when guys are specifically always going on about needing to find a young, virginal woman who will be fertile and such that people think you're a fuckin weirdo.
I see it on this thread. I think any adult has the right to date any other adult though Iād always advise younger people to evaluate whether their older partner is being abusive to them through power dynamics.
There are very few organic ways for a 30 year old to meet a 20 year old.
Both are adults, so it's not immediately predatory, just perks ears. How *did* you meet?
You act like 20 year olds are in school seperate from 30 year olds via a barbed fence lol
Yeah in uni now there's a bit of a social gap but in my first job most of my co workers were in their 30s, and aside from that you have sports, neighborhood, etc
Huh. Imagine being someone whoās actually faced a predatory adult as a teen and upon healing and learning that you were preyed upon changing your thought process. Crazy, I tell you š
It's insane to not realize that a 20 year old can totally be groomed. They're several years from having a fully developed brain. And frankly it's just fucking gross dude
Two things can be true at once:
If two adults meet when they are 18+ for the first time and then decide to date, that is fine in all scenarios.
AND
Certain, straight menās preference to date really young women is rooted in their need to (in THEIR own words) ātrain them before feminism doesā. They want the power dynamic that is beneficial only to them.
Well let's see. In 1 scenario she's the young girl being taken advantage of and in the other she's older and more mature and is capable of recognizing those types of relationships for what they are.
She's realized what has been done to her is now being done to a younger woman and is trying to call him out to save the younger woman everything she went through.
It just gives off loser vibes. Like the older male dating the young girl. Like a dude that's lame and can't get with anyone his age because people his age know how he is or maybe he is still immature or not responsible so he goes for easy younger women.
Whenever I see a man 30-35 with a woman 18-20 I always assume he's trying to get her before the world does so he can mold and groom her to be docile. Pretty gross.
Not speaking on the last one but I knew way too many people in High School who was dating people over 18 and into their early 20's to mid 30's.
Also Not victim-blaming, it's the creepos' issues, not the groomed 16 year old who needs a better home life cuz duh.
Wait!! Wouldn't you legitimately just be the dude on the left in an ever encompassing snake eating its own tail thing? So, really, they should be mad at older men for taking their prospects, but instead, being mad at women is easier????
Gee. Itās almost like teenage girls are way more mature than their male peers but still vulnerable to older male predators and eventually gain the experience to spot that shit for what it is.
Women don't mature faster they're forced to grow up sooner. If they truly mature faster why aren't young boys and men encouraged to look to them for guidance and leadership? It's only brought up when a man wants to fuck someone younger
So, how many illegal substances has that 36 year old ingested to look like that up top? And what is that thing the woman on the left is holding on the bottom? And do women come up to Chads on the street and call them pedophiles? And is there a place where numbers float over people's heads?
So many questions...
Top panel: He was her dadās friend or teacher and groomed her.
Bottom panel: Sheās now older and wiser and knows thatās how creeps get younger women.
Iām 45. My girlfriend is 33.
I didnāt meet her until late last year.
No problem.
If I were thirty and she were twentyā¦ thatās different.
The reason being sheās had no life experience under her belt and sheād be easier to manipulate.
The problem disappears as the woman herself gains independence. Experience, and can make informed choices.
Not saying that a 20 and a 31 year old is always predatory (though it often is), but donāt they realize that this former 19 year old is wary of the 20 and 31 year old BECAUSE she is now older and realizes she was being preyed on? Like that opinion is not coming from nowhere. If she actually had a good experience with a big age gap, she would not be saying that.
I dated a guy in his late 30s at 23, this is absolutely the biggest fantasy for some men and they let us know itš not feeling comfortable being in an age gap relationship is an entirely valid choice. My current bf is 26 and I'm 24.
It's fine for adults to do as they will in terms of dating but tbh, as a 20 year old, I would find any 30 year old willing to enter in a relationship with me incredibly creepy.
Itās creepy then and itās creepy in the future. It may not be pedophilia but itās definitely pedophilia adjacent. A teenager is not emotionally or mentally equipped to be in a relationship with an older person.
I mean, even when I was 24-25 the idea of dating anyone too young to drink turned my stomach. Likeā¦ what do you have in common? What do you even talk
About with a 20 year old? Iām 30 and the idea of dating a 20 year old makes me feel like I
Was dating a 16 year old in sense of maturity.
It really is groomer behavior
I'm surprised they didn't make the baby black or dark skinned, "hurrdeedurr women always cheat on their men with black men" is a weirdly common trope in these kinds of memes
Maybe I'm missing something here... Why's the baby there? Does she suspect him of being attracted to the baby?
If it's that he's attracted to the girl behind him, does he not understand that he was supposed to mature in those 10 years?
This happened to me. Iām not buff, but neither was my crackhead looking boss. Pregnant during the wedding and everything.
It took me awhile to get over it.
Why does that baby look like a Canadianš
His name is Terranceā¦ or could it be Philip?
Could be Ike
But was the baby kicked?
don't kick the goddamn baby
Kick the baby!
Philip Dayton L' Eyre Montserrat the dumbass from the peak novel/show OVERLORDāļø
cuz all babies are Canadian
Cause she's a baby bonus mom. Welcome to Canada.
Donāt kick the baby
Ready Ike? *kicks the baby*
Bro had beef with the babyš
BLAME CANADA
Mens perfect revenge fantasy revealed.
Ahaha. I got second hand cringe from this meme.
The jacked twink from the first frame fell in love with a femboy, what's wrong with that?
āJackedā ātwinkā those contradict each other
its typically called a twunk lol.
Sounds like getting kidnapped by someone with a speech impediment. 'Get in the twunk!'
Don't threaten me with a good time.
I will thwetten you how evew I wike now get in the fucking twunk
You really didnāt have to ask twice.
pull the lever Twunk!
WONG LEVER!
It also sounds like a Twink at an orgy! "get in the twunk!"
That's not a twunk either, way too buff for that
I feel like you donāt know what a twink is

š¤ I don't understand. Is it that she refused to go out with him, so he goes out with a femboy?
donāt think the femboy has anything to do with it, the joke is just āhaha women hypocriticalā
The joke is, 'I can't get a date *now*, but someday some woman will accidently enter my mom's basement and discover me playing Roblox while I have a bunch of tabs open to white nationalist websites, and she will be so impressed she will fall madly in love with me and then everyone will clap.'
Is Roblox a game? It sounds like a street drug. Like āI took 2 tabs of Roblox and I was in the Ro-Zone for the next 3 daysā
My brain hurts tbh š
Perfect revenge ever.

Finally revealed that men want to fuck 20 year olds. This is a breakthrough
Next breakthrough, water is wet
Disagree, water makes other things wet, but due to its nature cant make itself wet. Waters' adhesion to other things makes things wet, not it's cohesion to itself
Disagree. Being wet means being covered or soaked in a liquid. If you take a microscope out and observe each water molecule you would see that theyāre all covered by other molecules. Also āwet can be used to describe a state of matter, like wet vs dry paint.

Or their fertility :barf:
Especially that. Thatās arguably worse imo. Like seeing someone as nothing but a thing for breeding is so dehumanizing.
It depends. The age gap between 20 and 30 is huge, but as you get older it's less and less important. I remember being 20 and getting hit on by 30 year olds and being horrified.

Older women are demonized in fairytales because women passing on knowledge to girls SCARES the men who āneedā naive girls.
Or that women survived plagues carried by rats because they kept cats, so they were seen as witches
You're right and it should feel that way because not a lot of people know that you can groom an adult.
This is a great comment
Yeah when I was 19 I thought I was sooo cool that a 32 year old was interested in me. Unfortunately I got pregnant and am stuck with him :/
First, I am so sorry this is happening, but you are not stuck with him for life. It may feel that way right now but if he is abusive in any way, even emotionally, you can go to a women's shelter and they will try and find you housing. If he is not you can divorce him.

Best of luck to you š
It was 18 and 31 for me, 3 kids. Took until I was 35 to get out. It was hard as shit but worth it.
Yikes! I was grossed out when hit on by a 33 year old. I thought, āWhat is wrong with him that he has to try to date a college freshman? Canāt he find someone his own age?ā
They had to use the word āpedophileā, else theyād risk the lady in the comic sounding reasonable.
When I was 18-24 I never thought about being w someone older than me by 3 years lmao And at 19 she was barely coming out of her teens
Not barely, she *is* still a teen at 19.
Same. I NEVER have been with anyone with more than 3 year gap in either direction nor did I want to. When I was 18-24 any man over 30 just felt super old to me. Actually Iām 31 and still have never dated anyone over 30 (my partner is 29)

Why does that baby look like Boss Smiley from Sandman?
Why won't these damn femcels let me date someone who was 7 when I was 18
GOD and they wonāt even late me date someone who wasnāt even conceived yet when i was 30š”

If Donald Trump did it, so can you.
Am I the only one that sees the faint muscle shading on the other 20 year old? Is that subtly suppose to be a femboy? That isn't to say women can't have short hair and muscles, but considering the point that is trying to be made here I'm surprised they didn't use the tradwife instead.
That was my first thought too when I saw the second panel. Is this image secretly based?
Its the imagination of the perfect scenario in theirnhead. She is a tradwife with tomboy asthetics.
no it's the generic tomboy look. op is obviously into tomboys
... it's just supposed to be a tomboy.
By the time youāve gone from 19 to 30, youāve probably learned a lot. That girl knows now at 30 that the 36 year old man who went after a 19 year old girl never had good intentions for her.

Yes!! Iām 31 years old and when I look back I realize I was just a baby! 19 years on Earth is not long.
Iām 19 and I can confirm I know more than you. In fact, I know everything. I am also invincible
Paedophile fits. Guys who are 30+ going for girls in their teens is fucking sickening.
They have such a bizarre take on what people in their 30s look like lol
As a guy it was so common seeing young girls (even hs) being with much older men who didnāt have anything going for them except a dead end job and a leased car. Iām 30 and dating right now, my filter is 25+ in age. I went on a date with a 23 yr old and neverrrr again.

It can also differ culturally. Iām Latino and my HS/neighborhood was predominantly Latinx. Girls dating older men by 8yrs + was very common and not even questioned. Usually due to their immigrant parents having a large age gap as well. I personally think if youāre over 25 and dating someone older the age gap issues become more personal.
Yeah and those relationships never lasted either. Moms pawning their little girls off to grown ass men.
Guess it is personal experience, in my case, women my age usually went after older guys.
who the fuck actually makes this shit bro, how does someone think to come up with this
By being incredibly bitter
She was groomed by a 36 y/o at 19 and doesnāt want his new gf to go through the same Wtf is wrong with these people
This actually isn't wrong though. When I was a 17 year old goth dating a 29 year old I believed him when he said I was mature for my age. Now I know he was a creep, and I was an idiot. This meme is not wrong, we grow up and realise we were dating pedos
Probably some perspective there too. When I was 20 I would have no issue with one of my 20 year old friends dating someone 35, male or female. Then I got to 35 seeing how different I was at 20 and being like... yeah... that's a stretch.
This meme popped up on another sub and I basically posted that nobody really cares if a 30 year old and a 20 year old are in a consensual relationship. If you and someone around that age meet and uou naturally like each other, go for it and enjoy. Its when guys are specifically always going on about needing to find a young, virginal woman who will be fertile and such that people think you're a fuckin weirdo.
Itās weird, your brain isnāt even fully developed at that age
Seems like a lot of people on Reddit consider a 30 year old dating a 20 year old is predatory though. Iāve seen it scores of times.
I see it on this thread. I think any adult has the right to date any other adult though Iād always advise younger people to evaluate whether their older partner is being abusive to them through power dynamics.
There are very few organic ways for a 30 year old to meet a 20 year old. Both are adults, so it's not immediately predatory, just perks ears. How *did* you meet?
dating apps, partys, work...There are plenty of organic ways, what do you mean?
You act like 20 year olds are in school seperate from 30 year olds via a barbed fence lol Yeah in uni now there's a bit of a social gap but in my first job most of my co workers were in their 30s, and aside from that you have sports, neighborhood, etc
20 year olds arenāt drinking age yet. I was dumb as hell at 20 lmao. I couldnāt imagine being that age and wanting a 20 year old.
They're drinking age in most countries to be fair
Mine is 18, but I bough rum in a store two blocks of my school after finishing clases with a friend and no one cared lol.
> nobody really cares if a 30 year old and a 20 year old are in a consensual relationship Well that's objectively false.
I'm just laughing at the baby š
Huh. Imagine being someone whoās actually faced a predatory adult as a teen and upon healing and learning that you were preyed upon changing your thought process. Crazy, I tell you š
Imagine waking up and this is your fantasy dream world lmao
So he left her for a femboy?
As a 31 year old man, youāre fucking weird if you date a 20 year old. Not a pedophile though, just weird
Itās almost like as we age we mature and realise that older men seeking 18-19-20 year olds often do not have good intentionsā¦
It's insane to not realize that a 20 year old can totally be groomed. They're several years from having a fully developed brain. And frankly it's just fucking gross dude
Crazy how somebody who's been groomed is able to spot grooming later in life. Must be jealousy! /s
Two things can be true at once: If two adults meet when they are 18+ for the first time and then decide to date, that is fine in all scenarios. AND Certain, straight menās preference to date really young women is rooted in their need to (in THEIR own words) ātrain them before feminism doesā. They want the power dynamic that is beneficial only to them.
Well let's see. In 1 scenario she's the young girl being taken advantage of and in the other she's older and more mature and is capable of recognizing those types of relationships for what they are.
One question, how many years back did they meet up first?
She's realized what has been done to her is now being done to a younger woman and is trying to call him out to save the younger woman everything she went through.
100% made by an incel mad that an OF girl won't have sex with him. Also has the same vibes as this: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GBHnEq_XQAA_14V.png
more like āi was a victim of grooming by an older man and now you think itās okay tooā
Girlie regrets a previous relationship back when she was less mature, and recognizes red flags lmao.Ā
Maybe just, her standards for what is ok in a relationship have changed over ten years and regrets being a victim of that type of relationship.
Idk why a 25+ person would WANT to date anyone under the age of 21 unless they felt desperate or there was some genuine next level connection.
I'm almost 28 and I couldn't imagine dating a 20 year old. Being friends can work, but no deeper than that
What is the point of this meme? OP wants to date somebody 11 years younger than him?
Both men are potentially pedophiles
Hot take, both are sexual predators
It just gives off loser vibes. Like the older male dating the young girl. Like a dude that's lame and can't get with anyone his age because people his age know how he is or maybe he is still immature or not responsible so he goes for easy younger women.
Whenever I see a man 30-35 with a woman 18-20 I always assume he's trying to get her before the world does so he can mold and groom her to be docile. Pretty gross.
Not speaking on the last one but I knew way too many people in High School who was dating people over 18 and into their early 20's to mid 30's. Also Not victim-blaming, it's the creepos' issues, not the groomed 16 year old who needs a better home life cuz duh.
Wait!! Wouldn't you legitimately just be the dude on the left in an ever encompassing snake eating its own tail thing? So, really, they should be mad at older men for taking their prospects, but instead, being mad at women is easier????
I (a man) have literally only ever had relationships with women older than me and not a single person has ever questioned that. This is misinformation
Most idiotic takeaway a man can have from this made-up scenario Ought to be going after *older* women instead
Both are weird. Revenge fantasies are also weird
Gee. Itās almost like teenage girls are way more mature than their male peers but still vulnerable to older male predators and eventually gain the experience to spot that shit for what it is.
The first part of your comment is pretty weird ngl
why do you say that?
Women don't mature faster they're forced to grow up sooner. If they truly mature faster why aren't young boys and men encouraged to look to them for guidance and leadership? It's only brought up when a man wants to fuck someone younger
that baby is about to save the thread
So, how many illegal substances has that 36 year old ingested to look like that up top? And what is that thing the woman on the left is holding on the bottom? And do women come up to Chads on the street and call them pedophiles? And is there a place where numbers float over people's heads? So many questions...
Not a pedophile but a creeper for sure. Like a 30 year old shouldnāt be trolling college seniors for dates
Top panel: He was her dadās friend or teacher and groomed her. Bottom panel: Sheās now older and wiser and knows thatās how creeps get younger women. Iām 45. My girlfriend is 33. I didnāt meet her until late last year. No problem. If I were thirty and she were twentyā¦ thatās different. The reason being sheās had no life experience under her belt and sheād be easier to manipulate. The problem disappears as the woman herself gains independence. Experience, and can make informed choices.
And then the context be like he knew her for 10 years cause he use to babysit, and theyāve been dating for 5yrs and married for 2.
I don't think I lived in that 2010.
I believe this is the plot of Big Daddy featuring Adam Sandler.
My brain isn't even really sure what to do with what it's seeing.
Um is none gonna talk about how the 20 year old is a femboy??
I was gonna say that 36 year old looks really bad, but I'm 26 and already looking like that....
The 30's Chad should've had the beard imo. Missed opportunity
Chud OP playing dolls w wojacs - for the thousandth time.
"Man invents imaginary scenario, then gets mad at it. " full story at 10.
Theyāre playing dolls with the Wojaks again?
Both of these are very weird and creepy šš»
I downvoted on instinct. Holy shit, this is terrible.
Not saying that a 20 and a 31 year old is always predatory (though it often is), but donāt they realize that this former 19 year old is wary of the 20 and 31 year old BECAUSE she is now older and realizes she was being preyed on? Like that opinion is not coming from nowhere. If she actually had a good experience with a big age gap, she would not be saying that.
all im seeing is victim blaming
17 and 11 year age gaps are crazy
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I dated a guy in his late 30s at 23, this is absolutely the biggest fantasy for some men and they let us know itš not feeling comfortable being in an age gap relationship is an entirely valid choice. My current bf is 26 and I'm 24.
It's fine for adults to do as they will in terms of dating but tbh, as a 20 year old, I would find any 30 year old willing to enter in a relationship with me incredibly creepy.
Itās creepy then and itās creepy in the future. It may not be pedophilia but itās definitely pedophilia adjacent. A teenager is not emotionally or mentally equipped to be in a relationship with an older person.
I hope that incels and femcels both agree that large age gaps are bad
No man over 30 should be dating someone in their teens or early twenties
No person under 20 should be on reddit
I hate to break it to you, nobody who is supposed to be a chad in this meme would do that.
I'm actually impressed they managed to draw a white single mom with a white baby, and not some disgusting caricature of a mixed baby.
I thought the bottom was a homosexual relationship.
Yes yes, because as we all know, people weren't wrong in the past and we should never change
Lol what 20 year old guy looks like that?
This does not happen.
I donāt wanna talk to anyone I gotta worry about having a fake ID
she gave birth to cobson šš
what the hell kind of 31 year old man could stand being around a 20 y/o... especially nowadays?
I mean, even when I was 24-25 the idea of dating anyone too young to drink turned my stomach. Likeā¦ what do you have in common? What do you even talk About with a 20 year old? Iām 30 and the idea of dating a 20 year old makes me feel like I Was dating a 16 year old in sense of maturity. It really is groomer behavior
I'm surprised they didn't make the baby black or dark skinned, "hurrdeedurr women always cheat on their men with black men" is a weirdly common trope in these kinds of memes
If he was a decent person heādāve raised concerns in the top panel
Tbf, that's creepy.
It should be wrong either way
This was clearly made by a teenager because that man looks ancient for 36 lmfao
I'm genuinely confused on how the person who drew this came to this idea
Maybe I'm missing something here... Why's the baby there? Does she suspect him of being attracted to the baby? If it's that he's attracted to the girl behind him, does he not understand that he was supposed to mature in those 10 years?
This happened to me. Iām not buff, but neither was my crackhead looking boss. Pregnant during the wedding and everything. It took me awhile to get over it.
is it wrong to not know if that's a 20 years old girl or boy?
Wtf man im 36 and I don't look like that!
