but if you don’t see a moral problem with a 35 year old having sex with a 16 year old then..., well i don’t even know what to say
I get what you mean if its a 35 year old hanging out at the park near the highschool to specifically pickup 16 year olds... thats a bit weird and definitely unnecessary/creepy.
But if a 35 year old guy approached a beautiful girl at a mall that looked between 18-20 (developed girls can be hard to tell) and they hit it off really well, and the girl turned out to be 16 and she was totally with it and it was legal via age of consent then no I don't see the big deal.
You could make an argument that an experienced seducer whose honest and runs a strong relationship is the best match for an inexperienced girl because they aren't going to hurt them emotionally (or will cut them loose before its too late if so) and will likely have a fond affair.
JFK banged and had a 1.5 year affair with a fresh out of high school 18 year old virgin at age 44 (that an 26 year age gap). Now you could say this is extremely sleazy immoral behavior... But The girl in question looked at the experience extremely fondly some 50 years later and cherished the relationship without much regret or disdain for the president. She'd do it all over again given the choice.
Women are pretty adaptable. With the age of consent thing its not so much the girl that thinks its creepy as much as the onlookers (assuming she's genuinely attracted to and respects the man). But really its the girl that should be the judge of it all.
Then the question becomes at what age is a girl mature enough to make that decision?
Its an interesting question with no clear answers. And when it comes to morality again its quite contextual.
