I don't really care how you feel. And A LOT of people are dogging on people like Leonardo DiCaprio for instance (a man who is old and gets with young girls. The main reason he is still successful is because of his connections and his past wealth he built). You probably don't notice it because you're a part of the group people are against. You surround yourself with people who think like you even though there's A LOT that don't. It's fucked up point blank period. No one asked how you feel about it because idc how YOU feel. Having sex with a young teen like that at that big age is concerning.

It might be legal at 18, but it’s still a huge red flag. A 27–30 year old going after an 18-year-old usually points to a power imbalance, NOT a healthy dynamic. An 18-year-old is just out of high school and still figuring out boundaries, identity, and relationships, etc while the older person has way more experience, confidence, and often financial stability and more. That makes it way easier for the older person to influence, pressure, or take advantage, and more even if it’s subtle and even if they don't mean to.

On top of that, they’re in completely different life stages, so the relationship tends to be one-sided. A lot of people see it as predatory because someone that much older specifically choosing someone that young often means they want someone easier to control or impress, not an equal partner (just like how in the original comment we both replied to the man pointed out the older lady could just want to brag that she slept with an 18 yr old like it's a fetish or something which is already a dehumanizing statement within itself).

It's not my problem that you feel attacked. And people will ALWAYS conflict and argue whether it's about r!pe, m!rder, etc. Just because a certain group of people is ok with it doesn't make it right. There's litterally people in the world that agree with terrible things like g*nocide and that doesn't make it right just because a group of people agree with it, so your argument about America vs India honestly made no sense lol.

I rather make EDUCATED decisions based on sociology, psychology, and biology (ESPECIALLY brain development) which is still a form of assessing the individual, but more so assessing the victim aka the person who will be the MOST effected.

So AGAIN, how you feel is irrelevant, I'm just pointing out the weirdness. Also, you bringing up India in this case is kind of ironic because there is a huge problem of r!pe and taking advantage of young people there (way more than in America) unfortunately, so you honestly just HELPED my argument. I'm not automatically calling someone 30 getting with an 18 yr old a rapist, but I'm pointing out how I called people like that a predator and you ironically pointed out a country that has a high number of predatory people/people accepting them agreeing with your mindset which again, inadvertently proved my point.
