Young women are better off with people their age because there are assholes like this who would exploit them, and maybe leave them as the woman ages.
For additional funsies, note that sperm quality declines with age. People in glass houses etc. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9848653/
In general, women are free to do as they wish because they’re self-determining beings and their value is not derived from being able to give birth. Same for men, tbh.
Also lol forget about the fact that many young people who have children are not guaranteed biologically fit children because it’s all about chance more or less.
This topic is a shitshow and the world is a poorer place for us having to discuss it!
However, the western world is also a richer, much more equal place than in the past, as a higher percentage of women can live as they want while most people will live and let live, than say a century ago, when the misogyny was internalized and all-pervasive, even institutionalized, along with other mental viruses like racism and homophobia.
What was universally taken for granted then is the opposite of what is taken for granted now.
Nowadays these imbeciles are publicly called out for what they are: imbeciles. And a majority of people are comfortable to freely, publicly agree.
What boggles my mind is how many people who agree, still manage to mentally dismiss these archaic and deformed attitudes of power and privilege that come from one side and one side only of the political spectrum, and insist that bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRitE, turning their backs on Election Day to the party that has struggled to ensure equality and keeps on struggling, against the constant resistance from all those mouth-breathers from the mentally inferior republican side.
Half your age + 7. This was decided awhile ago. I don't make the rules. Thank you, drive through.
When I was 28-30 I did a lot of dating. I went on a few dates with people 22 and under early on. I quickly set my personal age limit to 25, as everybody I went out with younger than that displayed waaaay too many undesirable traits in maturity and lack of life experiences.
This "wisdom", while amusing, just doesn't work. And still puts young people in danger of being groomed by assholes.
Yeah, I think the age of consent should be 25, since that's the age your brain finishes maturing. So, adjust for that, I guess. I think it still works for ages older than 25, though.
Assuming hetero coupling: I don’t know why a 27yo woman would want to be with a 40yo man if we’re strictly talking about biological fitness of offspring. Makes more sense for a 17yo and 20yo, but there are serious diminishing returns for a young woman the older the man gets based on the decline in sperm quality. The chances are that she ensures better offspring by being with someone in her age range +/- 3 years.
FYI, this is what men like this person sound like when they evaluate women. I am just doing the same thing back to such a man. If he thinks he’s a prime target for young women, he’s not.
Personally, I think evaluating people simply based on their ability to produce offspring is gross because you’re removing any consideration for them as a person. I feel icky having this conversation. There’s something wrong with conservative culture that makes them evaluate people like cattle.
The best part about that is your range gets bigger and bigger the older you get. So if you want to have sex with someone who was born before you graduated high school, just wait until you're 50.
