    I know how to solve the debate once and for all. Just go through the thread and tally up everyone who is banned vs everyone who is still here. Whichever side has more people remaining on the site must have been correct. blob-no-thoughts

    Seriously though this is one of the few “struggle sessions” you can find my comments in because obviously this take is correct, if everyone involved is above like 25 and mature enough then fine date whoever you want, idc if the gap is 30 and 95. But if you’re above the age of 25 and dating a teenager that is a child and you belong in the barbara-pit

      I have always maintained that the “am I definitely a fucking paedo if I am dating this person?” measurement is

      ROUNDUP( [YOURAGE] / 2 + 7 )

      At least until everybody is 25 or older—then age matters a lot less than other power dynamics (wealth, social connections, etc.).

      Honest question, let’s say you’re a 29M who has never dated before or anything remotely close to it, and rather suddenly you have a 18F going around asking other people about you and generally sending the vibe that they want to date you, what should you do?

      I’m asking because that actually happened to me, and I decided to just go along with it because partly why not and my dating life wasn’t going to get any better doing with me nothing anyways.
