    That argument sounds very close to same rhetoric spewed by douchebags that are constantly dating and dumping 18 year olds.

    Its a giant red flag for most people if you’re always dating people who can’t legally enter a bar.

      who can’t legally enter a bar

      That’s a problem exclusive to the US. In Europe, you are an adult at 18 and can do whatever the fuck you want. Most countries tolerate (legally) sexual intercourse with 16 y/o

        Yes, it is a US thing, but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s creepy when people who are older constantly target under 21 year olds for their romantic interests.

          I agree with that. I mean age should not be a primary factor anyways and if you are always aiming for barely legal people, that’s a bit weird.
