    I read this over a couple of times looking for your thesis statement… nope, there wasn’t a point hidden in there anywhere, just poorly-contextualised quoting of statistics, like how you gloss over the very poor success rates on dating apps/sites, and an opening strawman.

    Just a very overwrought u mad troll. Okay, cool, can’t believe I interrupted my movie for a ploy straight out of 2010.

    You also seem to be confusing looking upon something with suspicion and actively intervening - why?

    Because there isn’t a difference. The moment someone falls on the wrong side of a taboo, they’re considered fair game. You’re just doing the work of rationalising it.

      Did you get as far as the first two sentences from the study? I’ll give them here.

      Adolescent girls with older male main partners are at greater risk for adverse sexual health outcomes than other adolescent girls. One explanation for this finding is that low relationship power occurs with partner age difference

      I’ve brought credible, relevant studies and stats, you continue to defer to feels. “nuh-uh - I am rubber you are glue” isn’t going to cut it. That’s the feels covered, now tell me why you’d type the way you did it you weren’t blinded by rage.

      There’s no difference between looking upon something with suspicion and actively intervening? This is just stupid on the face of it - tantamount to “There’s no difference between investigating someone and executing them.”

      Is your treatment of reasonable suspicion (informed by credible studies) as active intervention, and insistence that you can only date the handful of crackheads in your age group the result of a persecution complex linked with relevant experience?

        I think it’s time you calmed down

        rage

        feels

        if you calmed down

        free meditation resources

        you continue to defer to feels

        That’s the feels covered

        now tell me why you’d type the way you did it you weren’t blinded by rage

        Fuck me, you’re tedious and desperate. Oh noes, I swore again, I must be ‘raging’. Absolutely one-note, and about a decade by its best-by date as a troll, let alone a debate tactic. Even if you could get me stirred up, it wouldn’t be an impediment to my reasoning skills or articulation because I’m not a child.

        I’ve brought credible, relevant studies and stats

        …over something that was never a point of contention. You went google-fuing for no other reason than to look like you’ve got something to argue with me about.

        No, if we’re going with argument by analogy, what you’re doing is stirring up a witch hunt and then claiming no responsibility when people you’ve enabled drown a bunch of spinsters.

        You don’t look upon a bunch of strangers’ relationships with ‘suspicion’ if you have any fucking concept of pulling your fucking head in and minding your own business. You’re a busybody, a gossip, a meddler. If you want a predictor, try having a healthy relationship with anyone when you’ve got a bunch of twat neighbours looking through your windows and whispering behind your backs. You’re the same kind of arsehole who makes going out in public hell for a lot of mixed-race couples because they get smirks and weird comments about how it must be a ‘mail order bride’ scenario. Like you’re not fighting for some great moral victory here, you just suck.

          You go on this diatribe for keeping the data and practicalities in mind when I see a 45 year old guy with an 18 year old as you talk about people afflicted with addiction the way you do? Careful on the high road - I hear it’s precarious up there.

          I’d encourage you to direct your witch hunt nonsense at the NIH. Not much for me to argue, sorry.

          I hope that active imagination of yours is useful in your search for a stable relationship - truly.

            when I see a 45 year old guy with an 18 year old

            And you just assume it must be an age-gap relationship and start getting icky feelings and start looking online for ways to justify your pearl-clutching and feelings of outrage, when on the balance of probabilities they’re just a father and daughter with a healthy affectionate relationship you never had growing up, and you just have unresolved emotional issues.

            Yeah… ngl, kinda hoped we’d left most of you people behind on reddit.

              Yeah - fuck me - I find incest to be a problem too - for all the same reasons and a handful more. Are you going to suddenly start clutching your pearls at that one?

                Who said anything about incest? Fuck me, I was on the money. You came at me with a bunch of trolling crap and accusations of ‘rage’, yet you may legit need help.

                  You did - When I was talking in context about a sexual relationship with a significant age gap, and you decide that they were related.

                    Nah, mate, you’re just deranged. You see any two people in public together and assume they’re screwing, then if someone points out to you that they’re probably just related you still think they’re screwing? Fuckin’ weird.
