That makes sense. While it shouldn't be illegal, it's wildly disgusting. 15 year difference is one thing, but 23-38 is nuts. You were basically twice her age.
Can't imagine what the frick you had to talk about, but you're obviously pretty immature so I guess that kind of makes sense even if it's fricked up.

I would have the exact same response to a 5 year old as I would a 13 year old. Both. Are. Children
Well that's kind of fricking weird

Are you implying a 13 year is, idk, more capable of consenting to sex with a 40 year old man? Otherwise I don’t see your point
No neither can consent which is why they are both crimes deserving of punishment.
But just like I can figure out that the serial killer who is killing random people is worse than the guy who kills the man fricking his wife doesn't mean that I think the man who killed one person is okay

Ah I see now. You are 15 years older than your wife.
Weird as frick IMO. I’m 37 now and wouldn’t even consider dating a 23 year old. I have nieces their age. Weird.

I’m glad it worked out. Still weird. Congrats though.

Using this example, you’re saying the person who killed the teenager isn’t as bad as the person who killed a toddler.
How does that make sense in your brain?

If I said murdering five people is far worse than murdering one would you claim that I was minimizing individual murder?
No but I'd be super concerned on why you insist on the distinction.

I'm not saying it wasn't a crime. I just saying it's not pedophilia. When I was in college I had sex with under age girls. That doesn't make me a pedophile.
No Peter. Just a predator and immoral , with little respect for our societal mores.
Me thinks this attitude of entitlement is rife in his (*cough*) particular community, which may be why he's defending Epstein AND the act.

Technically correct but sometimes it's better to not say "ackchually". This is one of those times.

What a strange take. They are both disgusting and against the law.
Some of you have problems with multi-layered thinking.
Have sex with a 4 year old is worse than with a 15 year old and by law the penalties are worse for having sex with a pre-pubescent persons.
Closing your ears and saying its all bad is just ignorant.

Saying you had sex with underage girls while in college isn’t a good look.
I understand you can be 17-18 as a freshman and maybe your girlfriend was a SR in high school. But he didn’t state that.

Well for one because I probably want to send the serial killer to jail for a longer time depending on the circumstances of the specific crime I suppose. There's a reason some people get life without possibility While others get 25 years or something like that. It's not like we're saying the guy we sent for 25 years is a goddamn model citizen

Bro her brain wasn't even fully developed and you were basically 40. That's wild as frick.
Just shows us that you would have gone younger if you could have pulled it.

Question.. would a 19yr old hooking up with a 17yr old be criminal in your mind, or especially immoral? Where's your line drawn in order to call a man an immoral predator?

My uncle remarried at 45 to a 25 year old. She was very mature and sophisticated for her age. My uncle died in a motorcycle accident at 81. They were married for 36 years.

I would like to come back to this one because it really was dumb on his part. I would love to see any quotes from him regarding the judge Kavanaugh hearings given this admission

She's actually the only person I ever dated in my entire life more than four years different from my age. But you go on believing what you want to believe

Anyone making huge distinctions between ephebophiles and pedophiles needs a swift hard drive check.

Yup
I'm not saying it's the best model. There are certainly potential pitfalls. But there's pitfalls with basically every relationship as I think pretty much all of us who've been around for a day have figured out
