    I didn't want to jump to conclusions so i decided to look him up. Dude is TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OLD. He was 21 when they started "dating". What is wrong with this world.

        I remember being 21 and I felt weird about dating 18 year olds. It just feels like a different world inside and outside of high school. Or in this guy's case, middle school.

        This is just straight up grooming though.

          I remember when I was 15 a guy I knew who was 16 hit on a 14 year old on one of those week long half term school trip and that was weird as all hell, especially since I was sharing a room with him while he was openly flirting with someone the rest of us thought of as a child. 21 on 13 is just plain fucked up though

            Man it's nice to hear this perspective from other people because I had an 18 year old harasser when I was 14 and everyone thought it was fine/normal/cute because we were both in high school. At least it only lasted a year before he graduated.

            I totally understand that and see that as fine, I'm just personally very conscious of power dynamics that come with age gaps.

        Wait until your 30s. 18 year olds look like 13 year olds. It's weird as shit. You just don't notice how young that is when you're that young.

          I taught at a uni immediately after graduating from one. And exactly this happened, after 2-3 years. It was like a flip switched and everyone looked like a damn middle schooler lol

        What mr_world said.

        Went out with my wife last weekend to a nearby college town, we both thought all the (certain) college students in the downtown district looked like early high school/jr high age kids

        I'm a year shy of 30

      I was gonna say, he didn’t look that much older than her so I was like “okay maybe they meet when they were both teens”. But even if that was the case this post would still be fucking weird. Now it’s just fucking straight up perv shit.

    50% of the film had to be shot by a different team of camera operators due to filming occurring within 500 feet of an elementary school.

    I just don't understand how this happens so brazenly out in the open... Isn't this illegal?

        pretty sure in germany if you're under 18 you have to date someone of a similar age. so even if the age of consent is 14 or whatever you can't date a 30 year old. so unless im wrong it's not awful.

      Scroll through your local craigslist housing ads. There is often an adult tenant or landlord seeking "A housemate that compensates rent costs by wearing sexy outfits, give massages, or other services"

    I just assumed it was the guy talking about himself at first, and figured he was old looking.

    my brain literally couldn't process the idea that he was just casually posting on Instagram about dating a 14 year old as an adult.
