My best friend in high school was in a FWB (oh, how I hate that term) situation with a 33-year-old guy when she was 17. I thought it was stupid and disgusting. He quite obviously was only interested in scoring and she was (and still is) desperate for attention from any man that’s willing to give it to her. The worst part was that he was fat, balding, and an alcoholic. Gross.
I’m actually most attracted to men about 20 years my senior (between 40 and 50), but I’ve never been in a relationship with an older man. I know that, even now at 23, I wouldn’t have much in common with a man that much older. I never would’ve pursued an older guy as a teen. Pedophiles don’t do much for me.
I’d have a major problem if my minor daughter was dating an adult male. Even if she was 16 and he was 19. Okay, three years isn’t a big difference when you’re both adults, but the world of a 16-year-old is vastly different from that of a 19-year-old. My question would be what’s wrong with him that he can’t land a girl his own age and he has to prey on children instead.
