  I'm well aware I was groomed. 
  All I'm asking is for a reasonable explanation as to why it's okay for grown men to date teens. So far, no one has been able to justify it.
context: I dunno. I’m 44 years old. I guess I’d just feel weird dating someone who wasn’t even born when I was a legal adult, or who is closer to my 14 year old daughters age than my age. >
  
  Huh? You mean as a grown adult you don't want to pillow talk about literal high school drama? /s >
  
  What kind of love do you think a 50 year old could see in an 18 year old? >
  
  If he's with her for her looks and she's with him for his money isn't that a fair trade? >
  
  I mean I guess? but that doesn't absolve them of judgement from others. When I hear that, I just think it sounds like such a superficial and meaningless relationship between vapid people >
  
  That's not your business >
  
  It doesn't have to be your business for you to have a negative impression of something. If you jump in front of their faces and start insulting them, yeah, that's fucked up. But if you just think they're vapid people based on their life choices, you're well within your rights. >
  
  Why so judgy? I'm not for or against it necessarily, but why do people act so judgy around this subject? Like, how does some other relationship between two consenting adults affect you personally lol >
  
  Again, we're just talking about having an opinion, not getting involved or even expressing that opinion to the other person. 
  Do you think that the simple act of forming an opinion is some huge emotionally involved act of aggression? If you see someone walking down the street in a gimp suit are you literally incapable of even having the thought that that's kinda crazy because you're so committed to "minding your own business" and "not being judgy"? 
  If I get the impression that someone is only dating someone else for looks or money, my impression is that that sounds vapid. I'm not making a choice to have that opinion; it's just a gut reaction. >
  
  Yeah my former coworker married a 19 year old (mail order bride) at the age of 41.  He had been "dating" her and have sex with her since 15.  He was arrested a month ago on 9 felony counts of child molestation involving a family member. >
  
  My ex husband is 42 and I'm 24. 
  He met me online when I was 15. He wanted to take my virginity before I reached age of consent, and he has at least 2-3 years worth of CSAM with me in it.
  So here's my question: What on earth does a grown man have in common with a teenager, and why do you want a teenager more than a grown woman? >
  
  That’s entirely different dawg >
  
  Not really. I'll be hard-pressed to find an example of a healthy age gap relationship. >
  
  Literally any who don’t involve one person being groomed. No offense but you were groomed. That’s different.
