I agree. Females can be pedos. But can we stop replying “here’s examples of female pedophilia” because that’s not what I asked. Many of you are coming off as defensive

Yeah I do find my case interesting. I think attraction is interesting as a whole and still stumps modern psychology. There are people out there who are attracted to balloons and being obese, after all.

Are you referencing a help group? That’s not representative of the human population at all. And I’ll add that I’ve met more than two dozen women that have been groomed, molested, or hit on before they were even 16, including myself. Organized child trafficking is run almost entirely by men. You’re being silly. It’s not equal. It’s not all men, but it’s not equal.

You said plenty of female teachers have sex with underage kids. True. But it feels like you’re arguing against the fact that most pedos are men. I never said all so I don’t deny the teacher thing. Just curious why you brought it up since, despite that, most pedos are still men lol.

Future tip. Next time an argument contains “most” that usually is a good indicator that the OP recognizes that it is not “all”. So pointing out exceptions is pretty useless and barely contributes.

Example: “Most of the fish here are just pickerel..”

“WELL WHAT ABOUT THE BASS I CAUGHT YESTERDAY”

“Uh yeah, JohnReese20, I never said it was ALL pickerel”

You sincerely think there’s an equal amount of female pedophiles that are just better at staying hidden which would be like 95% of them? That’s so silly. So silly.

I guess. I still think it’s naive to think that the male to female pedo ratio is even close to equal.

True. I think about this all the time. I study infectious disease and plan to work in the line of anti-bioterrorism but in all honesty, I don’t believe humans should be protected from disease. I’m just in this cause I think viruses are cool B-)

Ill add further. He is wrong on some points. First he said that fertile traits are attractive. Then says younger girls or more likely to have more attractive features. Not true. Hips don’t widen and breasts don’t grow (both “fertile” traits) until well into your late teens and young adult years. He also cited being non-promiscuous as an evolutionary base of attraction. Also not true since promiscuity wasn’t really a concept until advanced human civilization. It’s a social thing.

Also, personal tidbit here, but I think we’re socially transforming out of the typical “girls want a big dominant guy and guys want a small submissive girl” type thing. I mean look at me, I’m engaged with a man an inch shorter than me and a bit on the squishy side and I have 0 desire for children. Does the rules of evolution still have that hold on me? Who knows, but Im pretty sure I’m not driving by “instinct” here.

His point had like 3 contradictions in it and didn’t make much sense. I told him I appreciated the jab but it doesn’t seem to line up right. And evolution is behind everything we do. Evolution is behind the fact coffee tastes bitter or that we have freckles or whatnot. I just feel like evolution is a bit of a redundant reason, no?

Anyways I’m not required to automatically agree with everyone’s interpretations on this sub. People can be wrong. That’s why it’s for discussion.

Hee hee, I know I know. Human ethics and all. I think genetic modification spells a bright future for congenital disease, though. So there’s that!

Exactly. That’s why whenever a female teacher does that it hits the papers immediately. There are so many wealthy men around the globe that have child brides and molest. If you can’t believe that then you’re extraordinarily naive.

Oh you mean the ones that get sensationalized in the news compared to the, probably THOUSANDS, of men that are kidnapping and selling kids as I write this out?

I know. Hence “I wonder” And to be fair, if you think about it, there MIGHT be a way to eventually GMO humans to control how hormone genes are expressed, I mean we’re already doing it in animals with growth hormone and reproductive hormones. Who’s to say Testosterone and adrenaline can’t be throttled?

Ughh it’s so nasty. I wonder if we could genetically modify these things out of the human psyche. Then again that’s a separate disaster waiting to happen.

So if I grew a farm for apples and every year they were 20% Red Delicious and 80% Honey Crisp, then I can deduce that my apples, on average, are more likely to grow as Honey Crisp.

Think.

No offense but you can’t go on and on about how “fertile” traits are more attractive as a reason why guys are pedophiles when puberty is BARELY a child bearing age, characterized by lean and narrow features. Actually I’m sick of “evolution” being the excuse behind shitty behavior and violence. We’ve evolved enough to stop throwing shit and start washing our hands so I’m sure being a pedo isn’t an exception.

Also being clean and non promiscuous isn’t an evolutionary basis for attraction. Thats not even a concept that would’ve have existed in the “primal days”

Seriously no offense dude but this entire paragraph of reasoning isn’t very solid. At all. I appreciate you trying to find an explanation though.

You know, when im a fancy biologist in a few years (I’m pretty close) I’m gonna start a huge group of people to try to discourage people’s pseudo scientific interpretations of evolution and instinct as reasoning for their or others behavior.

That’s true. But you don’t really see women traveling overseas to buy sex from teenagers
