@StevetheSleeve they’re not theories. It’s proven biological fact that the brain doesn’t finish developing until you are 25. That’s when the prefrontal cortex is finished developing, and that is the part of the brain that control decision making. Did you not have biology class in school ?
@StevetheSleeve if you want to be creepy, then be creepy. But don’t pretend that’s it’s okay for a middle aged man to go after someone who is hardly an adult.
@MorbidCynic I’m 31. That’s not yet middle age. Also, if the brain is still in developmental stage it doesn’t mean a person hasn’t already achieved an adult level of maturity. You’re being kind of trolly, which can be fun.
And you can be mature for your age yes, but that doesn’t change the fact that your brain is still physically incapable of process information to its fullest extent.
@StevetheSleeve as a teen who has been traumatized by older men and knew that they can’t be trusted. Nice try, morals start to developing at 11/12 years old. You should be critically thinking as a teenager, that doesn’t mean older men should be allowed to date you.
@MorbidCynic That’s a grooming technique. Telling someone they are mature for their age, they have an old soul, you are special, etc. is a way for a man to make you feel special, seen and heard.
What they are really doing is predatory because the power dynamic between a 30+ year old man and a younger women 18-23 is not the same. They are just looking to use and abuse until they are finished.
@StevetheSleeve Your words: [quote]Also, if the brain is still in developmental stage it doesn’t mean a person hasn’t already achieved an adult level of maturity.[/quote]
Steve, "[b]developmental[/b]" means "in progress of growing, changing, refining, ... not yet complete" 0.001% thru 99.999% still in progress, still Developmental! [b]Developed[/b] means Done, 100%!
But you go and do whatever your ego demands & ethics allow, that playground isn't fenced except by consciousness, conscience and karma.
