So, my good friend (18m) had a falling out with his ex (19m) because the ex bullied him and also because he is apparently dating a 16f, so my friend thinks he is a pedophile for obvious reasons (adult + minor).

I can see why this would be considered bad but also, when I turn 16, my girlfriend will be 19 too, as I am currently a young sophomore who is about 3 years younger than her girlfriend, a senior.

    Its exactly the same. 3 years on paper and 4 year of duration. I don’t know what lala land you’re living in but it’s the same numerically

      The same numerically. You’re not that obtuse, so is this a joke or are you a cringey debatelord?

          Doubling down on feigned obtuseness, I see.

          You can take the girl out of Reddit, but can’t take the Reddit out of the girl.

      A 10 year age gap is the same numerically at age 40-50 as it is at age 10-20 but they are clearly vastly different. There’s an implicit power imbalance.
