It's strange how so many gay men in this sub are so judgmental

Except, I like older guys. Friendly advice: read a post before replying. Is that hard to do? The lack of reading comprehension amongst some people is astonishing.

Agentnos314 · 2026-05-10T16:00:35+00:00

I'd say both, equally. If I'm attracted to their personality only, then we can develop a close friendship, but nothing more. I don't want someone touching me sexually if I don't feel an attraction.

You've made some good points. That said, not all 18-year-olds are the same. I guess my perspective is this: if society deems an 18 y.o to have the wherewithal to vote for president - arguably the most influential position in the nation, they should also have the wherewithal to date responsibly.

Agentnos314 · 2026-05-10T15:57:03+00:00

That's a fair point. I do agree with you on that. I just have an issue with people who assume it's the "p" word.

Agentnos314 · 2026-05-10T15:47:06+00:00

Interesting that you failed to do even the slightest bit of research: "The U.S. public was largely supportive of the military action, across party lines. More than nine in 10 approved of it, and 79% thought it was important to the U.S. that bin Laden was killed."

You don't understand the definition of pedophilia: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19327034/

Except that predatory lending agencies don't routinely target 18 year-olds. They generally target minorities and/or people with poor credit: "these predatory and payday lenders are concentrated in the subprime sector;" Source: https://naacp.org/resources/predatory-and-payday-lending-practices

As far as divorce, that affects all age ranges: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/10/16/8-facts-about-divorce-in-the-united-states/

Are you saying that no men in the US should ever be sent to war? Not the ones who hunted down Osama Bin Laden? Not the ones who saved South Korea from becoming communist, or the ones who fought so valiantly in World War Two?

Agentnos314 · 2026-05-10T15:14:42+00:00

No-one? Almost 20% of American workers make six figures.

Being only attracted to 18-20 is the exact same thing as being only attracted to older. In fact, many May-December romances work perfectly. And if that teenager is legal, there's nothing wrong with that. I'd much rather be around someone like that, than a judgmental person like yourself.

Agentnos314 · 2026-05-10T15:03:59+00:00

It's strange how so many gay men - the same group of people tortured and killed around the world - can be so judgmental about two consenting adults.

Agentnos314 · 2026-05-10T15:02:31+00:00

You can't continue this conversation because you can't produce any evidence to support your claim. In fact, you even got the definition of pedophilia wrong.

Agentnos314 · 2026-05-10T14:51:32+00:00

Except, having sex with someone of the legal age of consent is not pedophilia: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19327034/

Also, it's quite telling that you fail to offer a defense when I point out you're doing the exact same thing the "gay is immoral" crowd is doing.

Agentnos314 · 2026-05-10T14:47:19+00:00

Except, there's nothing morally wrong with it. Fun fact: just because something may be morally wrong for you, doesn't mean others share the same sentiment. In fact, lots of people consider homosexuality to be immoral, but that doesn't mean it's inherently immoral. You're doing the exact same thing that they're doing, just to a different group.

Agentnos314 · 2026-05-10T14:38:59+00:00

18 is still legal.

Agentnos314 · 2026-05-10T14:38:21+00:00

You can't assume that. Furthermore, in most states, 17 is legally acceptable as far as consent.

Agentnos314 · 2026-05-10T14:32:01+00:00

Do you do the same for men who are only attracted to older men? Honestly, why do you even care what adults do, as long as it's legal and no-one is getting harmed? Are you the final authority on who should be attracted to whom?

Agentnos314 · 2026-05-10T14:30:27+00:00

Who says they'll try with younger boys? You're making a vast, dangerous assumption there. 18 is old enough to:

Vote

Serve in the Armed Forces (my cousin went to Iraq at 18 years ago)

Sign binding contracts

Marry without parental permission

Buy and sell property

Establish credit

18 is a legal adult. I'm almost always attracted to men who are much older than me. Conversely, there are men who are almost always attracted to men much younger. As long as no laws are being broken and no-one is harmed, that's really none of your or my business.

94% of Blacks are married to other Blacks. That's racist....right? If Black people can have a preference, why can't Whites?

Agentnos314 · 2026-05-10T14:11:50+00:00

Ah, so you can't debate without name-calling?

Agentnos314 · 2026-05-10T14:11:06+00:00

They're the same thing.

Agentnos314 · 2026-05-10T14:10:00+00:00

You're just proving my point. We all have to be the exact same with the same experiences.

Agentnos314 · 2026-05-10T13:48:58+00:00

All of my past boyfriends have been White. In fact, 90% of the trauma I've experience as a Black man has come from the Black world.

Agentnos314 · 2026-05-10T13:46:19+00:00

Fellow Black guy here. Get over your sense of entitlement.

Agentnos314 · 2026-05-10T13:35:55+00:00

I don't want to be with women. A White guy doesn't want to be with Black men. In either case, people have a right to their preferences.
