Is it weird for an 18 year old to find 16-17 year olds attractive?

[subzero4]

I mean if someone was like 21 it would be considered strange but is it alright for an 18 year old?

[ECSTASY]

nope that's actually natural , and that's not considered as pedophilia

[Jinglebottom]

That's not weird at all!

[Microcosm]

It's within a two or three-year gap. It's not weird.

[Melodic]

Completely normal. 15 and below might be controversial.

[Exotic Babe]

Not weird at all! Just because you're 'legally an adult' and they're not, doesn't make it weird, you're only a few years apart.

[lacey02]

actually sounds normal from what I hear. At my brother's high school, most of the sophomore girls get asked out by the senior guys...

[northy]

Normal.

[Skywalker007]

Completely normal. If it's just 2 or 3 years difference there's nothing wrong with it.

[Uniquemind]

In some countries 16-17 is legal in of itself. It's all arbitrary I think past a certain point, attraction is a carnal, emotional, instinctual thing that can't really be boxed in legally, but it's actions can be boxed in legally, not the attraction itself.

Natural I say, prudent to act on is another issue that is political in nature.

[Maria16 Here]

It is normal in my opinion

[AutumnWinds]

I mean if someone was like 21 it would be considered strange but is it alright for an 18 year old?

i don't think it;s strange at all. :)

[redrider12]

I don't think anything strange of that, no. It's only a few years and I'd bet that most of our parents are two-three years apart anyway. What IS weird is when someone feels attracted to a person who's old enough to be their father or mother. And yes, that does happen, I've seen it. But no, I wouldn't have any problem dating a few years above or below my age if I was 17-18

[Vanilla Cupcake]

I agree with what everyone else said, it's only a few years no big deal.

[ashdyn]

That age gap is fine. When it gets to like 21 and 16 year olds you just have to know your boundaries. It's not illigal to think people are attractive. And let's be real there's a bunch of 14 year olds out there trying to look 16-18 and they're doing a pretty good job lmao

I used to work as a model at A&F and I would constantly get hit on by little girls trying to look/act older. Some were hot lol I'm not ashamed to admit I looked.

[Abhorrence]

I'd say it's fine, considering I've dated an 18 year old and I'm 17. Once you get to sixteen in England I am fairly certain there is no longer any laws that constrict the age of which you can date (older, not younger).

[subzero4]

Its not like a 20 year old finding people that age attractive is it? I personally think 20 and above is weird.

[ptz7649]

I don't see Why not?

[Uniquemind]

I will add that a lot of my friends dad's, probably my own too, would have a problem with this age gap though.

But then again their our parents so they're not objective about the whole my child's dipping their toes in the pool of romance anyway.

[subzero4]

Well 18 is still a teenager. I mean at 20 thats wrong but 18 is fine only like 2 years

[Jordan99]

Very normal. And I disagree with subzero that a couple who are 20 and 18 are doing anything wrong. My BF will be 20 when I turn 18.

[sabbi]

No problem with that age gap.

[Zachary G]

No, its pretty normal because youre kinda in the same age bracket.

[outback4]

nope, that's just a year or two difference. no big deal at all :)

[Cangirl]

def not weird.

But also i think a lot of people find that age attractive. That's like the schoolgirl thing so it might be creepy for some people but society sexes it up right so it becomes sorta ok for that age to be sexualized. But does get creepy though and 3-5 years is a big difference then but not when theyre older so it's kinda like the age of the younger one that is more important.

[Meamo]

I think it's perfectly fine, I don't see a problem with it. Depending on how serious the relationship is.
