>>129780alot of them are attracted to sexually developed children, teenagers. we know this. but as to whether or not they put these minors in the "have sex with" or "no, that's a child that needs care" box depends on whether they see the subject as a person. issue is, personhood is increasingly being stripped away by the internet, particularly in porn being most boys' first exposure to the female form. and it's always happened in order to drive men's sexual selection and access to their desires depending on when they get the resources to manipulate things the way they want (grown adults.) they know they're not "allowed" to say that they have a physical response or are visually stimulated by teenage girls/boys (post-puberty), because it'd brand them as exclusively attracted to that when they're not. it's a disgusting and grim reality, yes. but a level of attraction doesn't make them all want to fuck kids- and for most that will try, not even exclusively (which would be needed to qualify them as hebephiles, the actual predators rather than "i find that attractive in my head" types.) many are opportunists that lack reasons to care about women and girls as people, so they'd go lower than what they say. but men in general are not looking for children as partners - the quote about desirability seems to be from dating app data, which shows that what they're actually selecting for is grown women. we can come up with assumptions about what they WANT to date/sleep with, but it's better to deal in reality and assume the best rather than the worst (unless we want to encourage op to just give up.)
op was thinking about whether men would want to date her or not. from what we see, their attraction isn't solely locked onto minors. that's what my point was meant to be. if you want, you can assume they're all evil, lying, near-child-rapist scum - i'm personally doing the same. but it's better to give her a realistic view of dating trends imo
>For men aged 25, the preferred partner is 3 years younger (age 22) https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-asymmetric-brain/202501/age-gaps-in-relationships-what-do-men-and-women-prefer>>129781it wasn't a google search. and you're welcome to disprove the bot, by all means. it's just summarising what most studies confirm: they date within their age range, at least when they're younger. op was worried about them not wanting to date her now: which isn't the case. that's why i used the pic. if she wants to worry about how men's attraction changes long-term, then she needs to reckon with a different issue, which is how relationships degrade as people age, not only how dating opportunities/satisfaction decreases.
and why were you bitchy saying it's "fucking embarrassing" to use an ai summary when it basically just states the most frequent conclusion?
you brought up your own anecdotal experience to say that most of the people you've dated aren't pedo-brained; which is more than fair, but why bitch about common search results shaping mine, if you're going to use "actually, in my life this is the case." is yours any more of a solid study on the issue lmao?
