If the age of consent was lowered to 12, would you date a 12 year old?

Asking due to the people who say “they’re both adults” or “it’s legal” to well established adults dating barely legal teens. Laws aren’t a good place to look at for morality.

I understand that the age of consent has been lowered to 12 in Afghanistan. An ultra conservative country where men have ALL the rights and women and girls have none.

America is heading that way very quickly.

Gross. I would not even date an 18 year old at my age.
i once dated a 25 y/o when i was 37...i thought that was kinda weird then.

I wouldnt no as it doesnt make sen̈se. I mean what do we have in common for a start. What are we gonna talk aboùt. So many differences such as music an̈d entertainment in general.

@Vin53 it could happen to any older guy or woman if the main reason for the younger partner involves the inheriten̈ce after the older person passes away.

@Vin53 awwe my answer has upset you so you come back with an immature statement like that. Ðoesnt that tell you something about your intelligence

Below 18 is a child so definitely should not be dated by any adult in any circumstances.
A 12 year old being friends with another 12 year old is more appropriate (not intimate of course)

@666Maggotz I've read somewhere that it depends on the person. Some people mature faster, and some people mature slower. But I really don't think setting 25 as the legal age to have seх with literally anybody is the way to do it.

I would be willing to get behind legislation creating a law regarding age difference. Anything beyond 10 or 15 years' difference starts to get a little weird.
@LordShadowfire I was thinking of something along the lines of “Romeo and Juliet” laws until a person is 30.

@666Maggotz I agree. I like that.

If a child is still growing they are not ready for sex.
@Vin53 people don’t finish developing until 25. I would argue it’s weird for someone over 25 to date an 18 year old too. I’m neurodivergent and it’s believed our brains don’t finish developing until our 30’s. Which I do think is true in my case, I’m almost 28 but feel mentally still at 16/17. I do think it’s weird for 40+ year old neurotypical people to want me.

No, a 12 year old is way too young to be dating....especially dating someone my age.
Cantsayno · 56-60, M
Absolutely not

Are you asking whether I, a 49-year-old male, would date a 12-year-old? Because I wouldn't even date an 18-year-old. Not only is it really, really creepy, the generation gap is real. What the hell would we talk about? Action figures? Videogames?

Wait, I actually talk about those things with people my own age, so never mind, lol.

Still extremely creepy, though.
@LordShadowfire it’s more tongue in cheek to the people who think it’s cool for old people to date 18 year olds because “iT’s LeGaL.” It’s an attempt to make them question their morality.

@666Maggotz I know.
