And since when is this bad? No one was crying about Hugh Hefner. Or Leo Dicaprio.

Trump is a pedo, yes. Dating a 19 y/o has nothing to do with this.

    That argument sounds very close to same rhetoric spewed by douchebags that are constantly dating and dumping 18 year olds.

    Its a giant red flag for most people if you're always dating people who can't legally enter a bar.

    who can’t legally enter a bar

    That’s a problem exclusive to the US. In Europe, you are an adult at 18 and can do whatever the fuck you want. Most countries tolerate (legally) sexual intercourse with 16 y/o

    Yes, it is a US thing, but it doesn't change the fact that it's creepy when people who are older constantly target under 21 year olds for their romantic interests.

    People were ‘crying’ about it or you wouldn’t know about it. It’s legal so not much can be done but a 40 year old dating a teenager is predatory and creepy no way around it. Didn’t realise every post needed to be about him being a pedo.

    I believe the US has a way harder view on this than in Europe. Any EU fags around that can agree/disagree with this hypothesis?

    I think the connection is he was most likely doing this with younger girls also. This one was just public.

    That’s what I do not understand. There is no correlation between dating 19 y/o and being a pedo, at least from the psychological point of view.

    There is plenty of other evidence, this alone doesn't mean much. All combined you begin to see the picture. Lies, underage girls, pics, the cloak and dagger bullshit, gislaine, "suicide".

    Oh I fully agree. I also know that this in general is a big issue with men, or else Epstein’s club would never have been successful. The difference between men and people like Trump/Epstein is, that you usually develop morals at some point. Maybe there is a correlation between “successful businessmen” (aka. Con-men) and having no morals.

    That sounds like something you just made up.

    It is easy to assume, isn’t it? It was not possible for you to look up the terms:

    • Pedophilia,
    • Hebephilia,
    • Ephebophilia, and
    • Nepiophilia,

    right? It is so so hard to actually look up some things before you form and opinion, right?

    No, looking up terms does not give you insight into correlation or lack thereof. Who told you there’s no correlation?

    That’s the very reason you classify and name it differently, because there is no obvious and clear correlation. If all people who are into 16 y/o would also be into 2 y/o, there would only be one term describing the condition.

    Different classifications can have strong correlation. Casual observation isn’t going to cut it here. Unless you’re a professional in this area or are well read on relevant studies, I reiterate my previous comment that you’re just inventing the level of correlation.

    Since forever? "half your page plus 7" has long been a guideline, so a 40 year old's floor would be 27.

    (40/2) + 7 = 27

    Apparently wikipedia even has a section on this! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_disparity_in_sexual_relationships#%22Half-your-age-plus-seven%22_rule

    I actually have never heard of this. Is this a US thing?

    I see it as just establishing / reinforcing the character of this infamous orange man.

    It should. But from my experience, the human mind isn't always the best at remembering all the facts, so resurfacing those is never a wasted opportunity. You never know who needs the refresher, or simply wasn't already aware.

    Also, I didn't know about this one fact. My "Trump is a creep" notion is thus validated and reinforced.

    Not to mention the stupid 21-year age rule to get into a casino.

    A woman can't enter a casino if she's not 21 but can have an OF or be a cam girl at 18? Or what about joining the army? The army is less dangerous than a casino?
