17 year old boy being groomed by older woman. "it's happened to me before, and I'd rather she talk to me and waste her time than go after someone who doesn't know better" A few decent top comments.. a lot of despicable ones..

Persoest · 2022-10-03T21:41:14+00:00

Many were saying things like, “No way it’s a woman it has to be a man”

Minute-Language-7993 · 2022-10-03T22:57:13+00:00

The comments on that thread are unbelievable...

"It's a dude"
"It's probably a 50 year old man"

The reply—got it. Report her (the woman ). If she’s held to account, maybe she won’t do it to anyone else.

Ask her for Apple gift cards

Haha, commenter doesn't know women hardly ever get jail time unless it's especially violent or heinous.

YourEyesAreBleeding · 2022-10-04T00:56:33+00:00

If he's 17 it isn't really grooming at that point, that's actually perfectly legal where I live. I would just call the woman a creep.

My problem with this is how everyone assumes it MUST be an older man, because somehow women can't be creeps.

The last commenter shows the inequality plain and simple. When a man is accused of rape, feminists want his life to be ruined. When a woman is proven to be sexually abusing and raping a child, people will rush to the rapist’s side to defend her and say, “Oh, but you might ruin her job/relationship.” A ruined relationship is hardly anything compared to what young boys even accused of rape get.

Algoresball · 2022-10-04T01:30:25+00:00

The thing I would say to this young man is that A teenager shouldn’t use themselves as bate for a predator. I can see where is is coming from, but it’s not safe behavior or ultimately a good use of his time. Report her and move on

Kinexity · 2022-10-03T19:52:09+00:00

Tbh to me it's more like harassment than anything else. Although "get over it" isn't the right answer and it may be worth it to notify authorities if it persists it doesn't seem like grooming to me as age of consent in my country is 15.

YeloFvr · 2022-10-04T01:34:23+00:00

Be perfectly fair , “In the majority of states (34), it is 16 years of age. In the remaining states, the age of consent is either 17 or 18 years old (6 and 11 states, respectively). Note: Some states have marital exemptions.”

Biffgasm · 2022-10-03T22:56:49+00:00

What's the age of consent in your state? What she's doing may be legal. For instance, the age of consent in Texas is 17.

gafgone5 · 2022-10-04T16:00:41+00:00

They're just rape apologists. And with that logic probably aspiring rapists themselves.

MezzaCorux · 2022-10-03T22:44:23+00:00

He may be 17 but what if she goes after someone younger.

dungnm10082000 · 2022-10-04T06:20:29+00:00

While very creepy and I absolutely think that people would rage if it was a old man grooming a young girl, other commenters have pointed out that it might not be illegal where they live.

But yeah, the fact that he made the post in the first place raises serious questions

2022-10-04T11:52:39+00:00

If he's 17, he above the age of consent in most states so it really wouldn't be illegal

YuriLR · 2022-10-10T10:45:33+00:00

Age of consent here is 14. Americans are weird

DragonMeatloaf · 2022-10-10T17:03:19+00:00

I replied to a comment in here that was trying to excuse sa and rape against a male, saying it's fine and he should enjoy it. I was absolutely disgusted and told him what he said was absolutely disgusting. MY reply was removed by Reddit for "harassment". Yet his remains. Wtf is going on with Reddit?!

MononMysticBuddha · 2022-10-03T22:13:37+00:00

How long until you're eighteen? At seventeen cops aren't really interested in that. They figure it won't be long until you're legal. My ex had a situation similar to this. They told her it wasn't worth their time.

mattex456 · 2022-10-03T22:21:11+00:00

Americans like you are so weird. A 17yo dude banging a 29yo chick is child abuse and grooming to you lmao. I was almost a grown man at 17.

20rakah · 2022-10-04T01:54:16+00:00

Not a good Job hiding the subreddit

DarkPhenomenon · 2022-10-04T00:38:18+00:00

Seriously, a 17 year old dude being “groomed” over insta? Jesus…

VerbotenVerb · 2022-10-03T21:26:19+00:00

If a meetup were scheduled and agreed to, or if the adult made in person contact without consent, then that's the line that's crossed. Not that I agree with what the adult is doing, I'm just stating that there are differences.

Devil's advocate. She is probably a he, and he is probably a pedophile. The kid wouldn't see it coming. Dahmer's greatest fan, and his next victim kinda shit.

matcha_me · 2022-10-04T03:36:26+00:00

For fuck's sake he's 17. The age of consent is lower in many countries. I would have killed to be 'groomed' by a 29 year old woman when I was 17. Yes it doesn't work if the genders were reversed. The average 17 year old boy would outfight the average 29 year old woman. A 17 year old girl wouldn't fight off a 29 year old man. So yes, there is an imbalance. There should be.

What is the worst that can happen to the 17 year old boy, if this woman only wants sex with a younger man? If she's a psycho, all bets are off, but I'm not sure I see the problem.

I think the kid just wants to be a hero and cause trouble. We are living in an age where getting people cancelled and in trouble is now fashionable.

Fuck this kid.

captiandad421 · 2022-10-04T02:48:29+00:00

I agree treat dogs like dogs

Notlikeotherguys · 2022-10-04T06:14:12+00:00

Could be a catfish. I get hit up by catfish on Instagram at least once a week. Profile pics taken from porn stars. All claiming to be good Christian American women looking for love. Their Grasp of the English language is horrible. I used to enjoy stringing them along, but it became redundant after a while.

Prestigious_While_64 · 2022-10-04T07:53:55+00:00

We need to start using more color like in here. The site looks too depresive to keep new people

pattyboiIII · 2022-10-04T08:43:59+00:00

Legal age 16 in the UK? Damn I gotta tell my brother he's going to be delighted. so he can buy alcohol and tobacco, vote, gamble, get married, leave education, watch and produce explicit material? He'll be so surprised cause we all believed he couldn't. Can't believe i wasted two years of my life waiting to turn 18 when I could do all that at 16, Christ I could have voted in the last general election.

Gill03 · 2022-10-04T17:12:10+00:00

Well a lot of you need to Google “age of consent”. I guess that’s a good thing lol.
