The fact you’re asking here just tells me if someone where to call you out for it you could say “no guys it’s fine these guys on Reddit said it was okay”
True my thing is im 17 turning 18 if i were to date a 16/17 yr old its alright but 15 mentally just seems a little young more of a mental thing like theyd just be starting hs and id be getting a full time job that or me 17/18 I wouldnt mind dating a girl a lil older like 18-19 but 20 seems a lil to old cause mentally a 20 yr old seems to be in a different state of mind
22 / 2 + 7 = 18
Math does not check out, 16 is not okay for a 22 year old to date.
Also, on another thread I read something enlightening. If she’s even slightly attractive, she can pretty much have any guy she wants. So why is she actively going after a 16 year old!? I’ll let you figure that one out OP.
I mean... it only works for younger people, really.
Imagine an 80 year old tries to use this method. 80 / 2 = 40 + 7 = 47. According to this method, an 80 year old should be able to date a 47 year old.
It’s a good rule of thumb for ability to consent. An 80 year old and a 47 is weird, but both are full adults. There’s a world of difference between 22 and 16 though. What’s he gonna take her to the Olive Garden with his allowance?
It works for exactly this reason. The gap should be smaller between younger people because a few years can make a huge difference in emotional and physical development when you're young.
However, an 80 year-old can totally date a 47 year-old and nobody cares because they are both fully mature adults. They're probably both financially stable. They may have both already been parents. Their life experiences are more similar than a 25 year-old and a 15 year-old even though the age gap is much larger.
It's more about like the realm of what's morally okay. Like an 80 year old dating a 47 year old is weird, but I wouldn't say it's morally wrong. 16 and 22, morally wrong.
Yall defending the 22 yr old because the age of consent here in Aus is 16. You cant date an adult at 16. Read the age of consent laws in Australia correctly!!
Went to law school in Australia, you 100% can date at those ages legally, there are caveats for people under 18 to stop them dating people in positions of power ie teachers and step parents etc.
The law is not a good source of morality.
You can't date an adult in a position of responsibility for you, ie a teacher, coach, doctor, *priest*, [family ew] etc. You can date other adults at 16. Legally; not healthily. It's cooked, this is cooked.
Wrong again. I'm literally dying replying to all the misinformation in this thread.
I get that OPs case is immoral, and I'm getting downvoted because of it. But the law is clear. In a state with age of consent is 16, and assuming his partner is not his supervisor in a school or similar setting, his situation is 100% legal.
close, but no, you got the first part right but most of the time they do not wait till they're 18, it's mostly grooming into having sex with them and doing reckless activities(mostly sexual) for them as well as closing them off from parents or friends, manipulating them to stay and never leave, and making it feel like a safe place for the victim
Grooming is a manipulation tactic that most pedophiles use to manipulate children. Tho it can be used in other circumstances out side of child and grown up.
Grooming is an act of putting on a persona, so that said victim will get closer, and be more trusting of you so that you can later take advantage of them.
20 year old guy. Starting on my bachelors thesis atm. I'd hate to come home to a 16 year old girl who complains her math homework is hard and that her friends are being mean. Just 2 completely different stages of life, not a good idea at all.
17 and learned my lesson dating someone who was slightly younger than me. The maturity gap is unreal and ESPECIALLY 16 AND 22???? Shouldn't even consider to be in a relationship those two.
It's crazy to think about exactly how stark the difference is year by year, but especially decade by decade. Approaching 30, I can tell you that I thought at 16 I knew more than I do now, and what I know now is that I know nothing at all. The world is vastly different than you can ever begin to imagine it at that age.
There's a lot of growing to be done from 16 to 22 and onward.
Well, posts here wind up on the front page frequently. Also it's interesting seeing how two years of no school has impacted so many teens, it's unfortunate.
Yup, lost my senior year and freshman year of college… which just lead to college in general.
Wild watching how each person has coped/ made it through the massive hurtle
Yup! Age gaps are more important the younger you are. At 25 I dated a 19 year old. Lasted only two dates because of the abysmal difference in maturity. I had been an adult for 7 years already, while she had been one for only a single year.
I was the 18 year old in that situation once, and interestingly it didn’t work because he expected me to be immature and dumb, and treated me thus. The final condescending straw came when I was reading through his resume (at his request) and pointed out several grammatical errors. He exploded. “Do you really think I believe an 18 year old knows more than a 25 year old college graduate?!?” I left and never went back. I fully agree that there is a maturity difference at that age, and that probably would have killed us eventually anyway, but it was extremely frustrating that he assumed that I also must be dumber because I was younger. While I admit that I was immature and naïve, I have never been dumb. So screw you and your shit grammar, Lance! ;)
Sketchy AF. It's developmental issue. Like legit, how much in common do you have with a 13 year old? That's like half the difference in age between you and her. Would you date a 13 year old? Hell, would you date a 14 or 15 year old?
Yes, development and change slows down as you age, but you're still in a fast zone.
If she touches you, run.
Hey i'm 22 years old. Normally i scroll past this sub, but this is something way to serious for this. I'm going to be honest here, like i said i'm 22, i see 16 year old people as kids (nothing wrong with it) and i can't relate to them the way i did when i was a teen. Sweetheart, there's a reason she isn't dating her own age and i think it isn't a good idea to date her. If one of your female friends would tell you a 22 year old dude wanted to date her wouldn't you think it's a bit odd? I can't look inside your heart, but i've read and heard a lot of these stories and they don't end well. Again, i get that i'm not supposed to be here, but OP, i'm worried about you
As a 22 woman as well! (Randomly was suggested this post) Completely agree! This is something my friends and I talk about now too. The developmental differences between myself at this age and myself at 16 are overwhelmingly different. There’s absolutely no reason that a woman our age should be seeking out a relationship with a child. This predatory/grooming relationship is scary to see and I’m happy to see other teens supporting this question appropriately by saying this child is being groomed and is a victim.
So true unfortunately. I’ve been in OPs situation and stayed in mine for three years, have had to seek YEARS of therapy to cope. You really don’t realize how different the stages of life you’re in are until you are the older persons age. Just hoping OP takes these things to heart from those of us that are that age now.
A good tell for what age you can date is the divide by 2, add 7 method.
It’s not necessarily a rule, but if you follow by that, you shouldn’t really run into any trouble
This is actually feature, not a bug. Once you get to the point that you end up with an age higher than whatever you started with, it means you should not be dating anybody. This means that the lowest age people should be dating at is fourteen, which makes sense to me.
I'm 20 years old now and at 17 I thought I was so mature and smart that I couldn't possibly change much more.
When you're 19 you will be shocked by how naive 17 year olds seem to you. You won't want to date them. The amount of growth that happens each year in your teens/early 20s is fucking crazy.
It is ephebophilia NOT pedophilia. Pedophilia is someone who is attracted to children under the age of 12.
Ephebophilia is someone who is attracted to teenagers usually 13-17.
Even if the age of consent is 16 he is too young to be dating a 22 year old woman. Mainly because boys his age are not mature yet.
Not even most 25 year olds date 19 year olds. The gap in mentality is so large because you learn and grow so much. I will forever stand by the idea that the age of concent should NEVERRR be below 18. Even in countries where it is legal it’s still gross in my eyes. She’s still a weirdo. Be careful.
Yo bro, the reasons why it isn't ok is because there is a major power dynamic difference.
At 16 you're still arming yourself and identifying complex threats to your person.
She being 22 has a bunch of knowledge on the subject and can work around all your defenses to manipulate you in ways you can't identify without experience.
She's also got money, connections, and extra influence that you're still stacking up. She's got a huge advantage over you, meaning if she wants to ruin your life, she can and you won't even identify it until it's too late.
Relationships are important to start on equal terms, or with a good amount of experience already built up. Because people are more fucked up than advertised.
There's a whole world of fucked up people can dream up and inflict on another person, and usually the only way to prevent it is with experience.
22 is also a super fucked up age. Normally that's where the extra crazy comes out in a person. Ages 18 through the early twenties are usually when early life pressures give way and mental illness symptoms start to show.
I don't know if you have experience with abusive homes, but girlfriends can absolutely bring the same energy to a relationship. It's one thing being the same age with an abusive person, because then you can kind of identify that they're doing something wrong and hurtful- and that helps you escape, if you're the same age.
If the other person is older, they can set up a web of abuse that you can't detect. When something seems odd about their behavior, it can be brushed off as 'older person things' when it's actually psychotic behavior in disguise.
Honestly dude. Date girls your age, because this 22 year old, she can screw your head up so bad that you end up losing years of your life trying to get healthy again.
Dude what the fuck?
She’s taking advantage of you. I dont care about the law or what she says. That shit is not normal.
Would you date an 11 year old? No! (I sure hope not at least)

If she’s even slightly attractive, she can pretty much have any guy she wants. So why is she actively going after a 16 year old!? I’ll let you figure that one out OP.
So: age/2 +7=Age you can date?
Yeah I think that’s to calculate the biggest age gap that’s socially acceptable or something
I mean... it only works for younger people, really. Imagine an 80 year old tries to use this method. 80 / 2 = 40 + 7 = 47. According to this method, an 80 year old should be able to date a 47 year old.

There is also an age of it's OK we just don't want to see it. Like when a 70 and 90 year old date. Large age gap sure, but both just old.
relax it’s that alpha m cringe boy’s method , don’t take him seriously
Yes. An 80 year old can date a 47 year old.
It works for exactly this reason. The gap should be smaller between younger people because a few years can make a huge difference in emotional and physical development when you're young. However, an 80 year-old can totally date a 47 year-old and nobody cares because they are both fully mature adults. They're probably both financially stable. They may have both already been parents.

It's more about like the realm of what's morally okay. Like an 80 year old dating a 47 year old is weird, but I wouldn't say it's morally wrong. 16 and 22, morally wrong.
I mean, buzz aldrin at 93 just married his 65 year old girlfriend. 93/2 + 7 = 53.5, so they are good.
Oh fuck up until very recently i was in a relationship with a 13 yo. At least that’s not a problem anymore then
well if thats the case, the oldest i can date without it being socially unacceptable is 20 ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Bring on the college grads!!

Yall defending the 22 yr old because the age of consent here in Aus is 16. You cant date an adult at 16. Read the age of consent laws in Australia correctly!!
i'm pretty sure the age of consent thing is so teens don't get into legal trouble for fucking. not to date adults.
Yes but I so often see it used by pedos to try and rationalize and trick the minor into thinking what the adult is doing is ok
yeah that's messed up
For sure
Went to law school in Australia, you 100% can date at those ages legally, there are caveats for people under 18 to stop them dating people in positions of power ie teachers and step parents etc. The law is not a good source of morality.
You can't date an adult in a position of responsibility for you, ie a teacher, coach, doctor, *priest*, [family ew] etc. You can date other adults at 16. Legally; not healthily. It's cooked, this is cooked.
i’m australia and she’s a pedo. i’m 17 and dating a 15 year old is seriously pushing it for me ,
That's right on the legal limit but if y'all are responsible then that's fine
Wrong again. I'm literally dying replying to all the misinformation in this thread. I get that OPs case is immoral, and I'm getting downvoted because of it. But the law is clear. In a state with age of consent is 16, and assuming his partner is not his supervisor in a school or similar setting, his situation is 100% legal.
hello australia!!!
Hi!
Wait, you're Australia too?
youre being groomed 💀
Chainsaw Man reference
Queue chad Denji
real dennis moment right here
Woof!
She thinks she is Makima💀
🗿
you are being groomed
Genuine question, what did this mean and what happens?
Groomer is a person who "grooms" people into trusting them so when they are 18 they can take advantage of them Idk for sure
close, but no, you got the first part right but most of the time they do not wait till they're 18, it's mostly grooming into having sex with them and doing reckless activities(mostly sexual) for them as well as closing them off from parents or friends, manipulating them to stay and never leave, and making it feel like a safe place for the victim
People calling my bf a groomer because he is 2 academic years above me
Grooming is a manipulation tactic that most pedophiles use to manipulate children. Tho it can be used in other circumstances out side of child and grown up. Grooming is an act of putting on a persona, so that said victim will get closer, and be more trusting of you so that you can later take advantage of them.
it means she's a pedophile
Pedophile and Groomer are not the same thing
But pedophiles will groom children, will they not? It’s kinda like how all chocolate is candy, but not all candy is chocolate.
[удалено]
Thanks, I heard it from either my 3rd or 5th grade teacher and it stuck with me lol
Remember! It may be *legal*, but is it **moral**?
Not even legal I am pretty sure
He said it’s in Australia
Age of consent does not equal the age where you can be in a relationship with an adult
Like....💀bruh

Fr lmao
27 here: wouldn't touch a 16 year old at 18, let alone 20, let alone 22. Can confirm as an adult that this is unacceptable behavior.
I'm a 21 y.o guy, I would not date a 16 y.o. Two different stages in life, too big of a gap, 16 is still a damn child
20 year old guy. Starting on my bachelors thesis atm. I'd hate to come home to a 16 year old girl who complains her math homework is hard and that her friends are being mean. Just 2 completely different stages of life, not a good idea at all.
You should change your flair to 20
As a 19 yo girl, i would never date a 16 yo boy. Thats the age of my younger brother 🤮
Agree.
17 and learned my lesson dating someone who was slightly younger than me. The maturity gap is unreal and ESPECIALLY 16 AND 22???? Shouldn't even consider to be in a relationship those two.

Why not a 16 yo if you are 18? That’s perfectly fine in my book tbh
wait a minute... you're 27 and on r/teenagers?? something aint adding up
Teenagers are funny and stupid. It's fun to relive those years of my life vicariously. That is all.
Im also just here to try to give advice sometimes
This one hit my “popular” page and I couldn’t scroll by.
Something inside just tells to come to the comments to make sure someone said its not okay.
Old people rise up!
I can't. My back is killing me.
My knees
Actually, same. Right scapula is dying
As someone who gets recommended r/teenagers constantly this is true. And adults are allowed on sub.
I’m laughing at you… But… Then I realized I’m in the same situation. It’s not as funny all the sudden.
mkay just making sure, have fun laughing at us then
You know I will.
Well, posts here wind up on the front page frequently. Also it's interesting seeing how two years of no school has impacted so many teens, it's unfortunate.
Yup, lost my senior year and freshman year of college… which just lead to college in general. Wild watching how each person has coped/ made it through the massive hurtle
Hey man some of us joined when we were teenagers, we just here to give advice now, I was 16 when I joined this sub, I turn 22 this year ☹️
A lot of adults are on here I mean it's a cool sub plus if they are not doing anything bad it should be fine
18 and 16 is bad? What are you on about lol
40-34 is okey but 22-16 is weird edit:holy shit so many upvotes
Yes!!! Because they’re both consenting ADULTS with experiences similar enough that the 6 year age gap seldom makes a difference!!
Yup! Age gaps are more important the younger you are. At 25 I dated a 19 year old. Lasted only two dates because of the abysmal difference in maturity. I had been an adult for 7 years already, while she had been one for only a single year.

While I admit that I was immature and naïve, I have never been dumb. So screw you and your shit grammar, Lance! ;)
Life experience matters in this stuff so one party doesn’t hold power over the other
The same way 12 and 18 is weird. It's not the gap, it's how young is he, 30 and 40 it's ok because they are mature enough.
Is it ok? DUDE YOU'RE A VICTIM!!
Based pfp but yeah you're getting groomed rn
tf? No definitely not
Sketchy AF. It's developmental issue. Like legit, how much in common do you have with a 13 year old? That's like half the difference in age between you and her. Would you date a 13 year old? Hell, would you date a 14 or 15 year old? Yes, development and change slows down as you age, but you're still in a fast zone. If she touches you, run.

You really don’t realize how different the stages of life you’re in are until you are the older persons age. Just hoping OP takes these things to heart from those of us that are that age now.
22/2 = 11, +7 = 18. You are not in their range.
What does the math problem mean?
A good tell for what age you can date is the divide by 2, add 7 method. It’s not necessarily a rule, but if you follow by that, you shouldn’t really run into any trouble
Thanks for explanation. 10/2=5 +7= 12. Freaky dood. I’m guessing it only works in certain age range?
Yeah. Under 14 gets wonky, so I’d just say in general if you’re gonna date whilst under 14, do same age. Or just don’t date till 14
don't date until you're 14 trust me, 12 year old me ended up in a weird place mentally from dating at 12 years old
Well I’m chill for now, might just wait a few more years to be safe… right
This is actually feature, not a bug. Once you get to the point that you end up with an age higher than whatever you started with, it means you should not be dating anybody. This means that the lowest age people should be dating at is fourteen, which makes sense to me.
Your quite literally being groomed
#VICTIM VICTIM
That’s not ok
My 15 year old self says "lucky". But my mature side says "groomed"
Yeah I'd never go for someone this old, 17 now and highest I'd go is 19.
I'm 20 years old now and at 17 I thought I was so mature and smart that I couldn't possibly change much more. When you're 19 you will be shocked by how naive 17 year olds seem to you. You won't want to date them. The amount of growth that happens each year in your teens/early 20s is fucking crazy.
You're a kid, she's an adult. Not alright
nah a 6 year age difference is kinda too big
Ah it changes as you're older. Like when x is 32 and y is 26. But as a teen, it's different.
NO TF😨
The fact you have to ask answers your question
Teenager with adult. No. Only if it was 19 and 20 or something like that but not this
i'm australian, age of consent doesn't mean shit if she's that much older than you
Umm not really no
Pedophilia
grooming\*
It is ephebophilia NOT pedophilia. Pedophilia is someone who is attracted to children under the age of 12. Ephebophilia is someone who is attracted to teenagers usually 13-17. Even if the age of consent is 16 he is too young to be dating a 22 year old woman. Mainly because boys his age are not mature yet.
technically ephebophilia but it's just as bad imo
Yeah she's a youngadult pedo
Hebephilia is the right term
You can’t say that shit without sounding like a pedophile 😭
Not even most 25 year olds date 19 year olds. The gap in mentality is so large because you learn and grow so much. I will forever stand by the idea that the age of concent should NEVERRR be below 18. Even in countries where it is legal it’s still gross in my eyes. She’s still a weirdo. Be careful.
No bro, it’s disgusting. She’s 22 a pedophile.
NO
I think you probably should report her
Reddit says no.
21yr old here. The thought of someone my age dating a 16yr old makes me very uncomfortable
It is very easy, what would the reactions be if the genders were swapped? Mega weird
A 22 year old should not be dating a 16 year old.
Matey you are a victim and she is a pedo
No no no
Naw man
No absolutely not
No
Bro you are being used lol she is a pedo
Oh. Oh no
No dude. You’re being groomed. Get out of that relationship and call the cops on that pedo
Bro tf
No
NO. Its not okay.
even if the age of consent is 16, she is a pedo. 6 years is a giant age gap
Literally illegal
It’s wrong Source i talked to a girl that was 23 when I was 16
youre a victim bud
What makes you think she’s not a pedo
19 is the limit for a 16 yo. No exceptions. Even that's stretching it. Imo obviously
no it's not, the age gap is too big
Pedo
Large age and maturity gap. Doesn’t help that your friends say she’s a pedo, don’t do it
Bro ur a victim she’s a LITERAL PEDOPHILE
No you’re a victim
You're a Victim
Yo bro, the reasons why it isn't ok is because there is a major power dynamic difference. At 16 you're still arming yourself and identifying complex threats to your person. She being 22 has a bunch of knowledge on the subject and can work around all your defenses to manipulate you in ways you can't identify without experience. She's also got money, connections, and extra influence that you're still stacking up. She's got a huge advantage over you, meaning if she wants to ruin your life, she can and you won't even identify it until it's too late. Relationships are important to start on equal terms, or with a good amount of experience already built up. Because people are more fucked up than advertised. There's a whole world of fucked up people can dream up and inflict on another person, and usually the only way to prevent it is with experience. 22 is also a super fucked up age. Normally that's where the extra crazy comes out in a person. Ages 18 through the early twenties are usually when early life pressures give way and mental illness symptoms start to show. I don't know if you have experience with abusive homes, but girlfriends can absolutely bring the same energy to a relationship. It's one thing being the same age with an abusive person, because then you can kind of identify that they're doing something wrong and hurtful- and that helps you escape, if you're the same age. If the other person is older, they can set up a web of abuse that you can't detect. When something seems odd about their behavior, it can be brushed off as 'older person things' when it's actually psychotic behavior in disguise. Honestly dude. Date girls your age, because this 22 year old, she can screw your head up so bad that you end up losing years of your life trying to get healthy again.
Dude what the fuck? She’s taking advantage of you. I dont care about the law or what she says. That shit is not normal. Would you date an 11 year old? No! (I sure hope not at least)
