16 will get you 20.
Even if 16 could be legal in your state or county why would you want to do that?

Why wouldnt you?

16's legal in Denmark though
Varies from state to state.

If someone is waiting until someone is 18 theyre saying the only thing stopping them from trying to fuck a minor is the age of consent law
LordKingSalmon
So the only thing that keeps them following the law is the law? I'd say it's working, then?
shankycat
Okay but consider that the difference between a 17 and an 18 year old isn't much more than a legal standing.
tzxAzrael
you're right! what a bunch of filthy law-abiding bastards! how dare they follow rules and such!
FinrodFelagundPrinceoftheNoldor
So you're saying that they're law abiding citizens? What if it's a 18/19 year old? We don't know, and that's far from creepy.
I believe the common term for "someone who wants to fuck minors" is Pedophile
No, no it's not.
Fait
isn't pedo prepubescent? being attracted to someone 17 isn't really the same is it? regardless of the law?

Yeah, someone that is sexually attracted to people ages 15-19 is an ephebophile.

When I was 23, I met a 17 year old girl while playing world of warcraft. We got to talking, became friends, talked even more, I visited her
and her family a couple of times. The second time, she turned 18, I married her, and now it's 8 years later, about to have our second kid.
ScaredWrench
You can have kids in wow now? Cool
MishiMoshiSquishyToesies
It's creepy, but also maybe the dude is 18-20 himself and just wants to be safe. Any older, and yeah, creepy.
To be clear, if the guy was 18-20, it still comes off desperate and gross, but not like stalking a minor. There's a difference.
YutteHermsgervordenbrotborda
Blows my mind that some people don't see that. Like "This person is just barely past childhood! Time to fuck!"
GuardsmanMiku
people just under 18 are obviously not childeren. The law is there to protect them from being taken advantage of.
They're not children mentally, but they're close enough that it's weird for adults to be attracted to them
It's not weird at all to be physically attracted to fully grown humans, but we understand its morally wrong to take advantage of that
The bodies of 18 year olds aren't even done developing. At 18 you are not a fully grown human
Lfa3
Because honestly they don't care about fucking a minor (some may even prefer it), they just care about not being in prison.
Focus1331

penzick
I think most states also have age difference rules. So if two teens are dating & having sex, the one who turns 18 first can't be arrested
RavioliAficionado
They do, but the ones listed here are for anyone. The age difference rules are like 14 and 18. But 16 is generally always good.
as a child sex-offender.
PiGiSpi
There's also some leeway if the state has Romeo and Juliet laws. I know in Florida if you're 23, you can date a 17 year old (iirc)
LuLuPennyAndOdium44
with parental consent yeah
pritolus
Good luck with that then
Ah i didnt know that part, thanks for clarifying
Ac1dBurn72
I'm 30. And I can't imagine dating an 18 year old. They have no idea who they are or what they like yet!
I'm 45 and can't imagine dating a 30 year old.
Well, "dating" isn't exactly the goal with 18yr olds. It's more just about the sex.
I'm 20 and I can't imagine dating an 18 year old. At 18 you're either in, or have just graduated high school. Fuck that lmao
And at 20 you've been out of high school for two years? You feel more mature about those two years or something?
Levithan6785
I can assure you. Maturity level between 18 and 20 is pretty massive in my experience.
No but the idea of fucking someone who's still in school is icky
But at 20 you'd be college aged. The difference between high school and college is something like four to six months? So if 18 in high 1/2
school is bad, is 18 in college bad? And what age is okay in college, then? 2/2
EveryNameIsTakenDammit
Am I the only one who thinks dudes like that are closet pedophiles? Like they totally wanna tap that underage ass, but have enough 1/x
Only if you believe 17 year olds literally look prepubescent.
DukeDarkwood
I think a lot of it would depend on the age of the guy, too. If he's 19 or 20, it's just prudence. If he's 29 or 30, yeah, it's creepy.
gamer2k4
Since there's no physical/mental difference between someone a month shy of 18 and an 18 year old, they likely just don't want to go to jail.
I don't advocate it, but think about it: teenage couples commonly have sex, yet the second one of them turns 18 it's illegal? What changed?
ferafish
The problem is that those countdowns start creepily early pretty often. Like Emma Watson had a countdown at 14.
SamuthNBS
I think the existence of an entire genre of porn where they claim to have just turned 18 supports your hypothesis.
Although in countries where the age is lower than 18 it gets a little harder to tell
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
There are a lot of genres where it's "taboo" stuff which I guess adds to the excitement but doesn't actually mean the watcher wants to do /1
That's true actually, you may be right. I think as physical maturity straddles the age of consent there tends to be ambiguity.
it in real life. Rape porn is a big example, incest porn too, lots of others. /2
MovedToast
Pretty sure they just don't want to go to jail.
restraint to wait until the law can't touch them for it anymore?
SoMenSayThatImIntenseOrImInsane
100% agree.
....That's literally just following the law.
swagb98623
People only feel emotions and sexual attraction when it's permitted by the law... Also at 17 it's "Hebephile".
Hebephilia is an attraction to 11-14 y/os; I think you meant ephebophile.
ImplodingPumpkin
I'm with you on this. It grosses me out, they still look like kids at 18.
IsThisUserNameLongEnough
Had (Had being the operative word here) a friend in HS. We were at a public pool and he kept talking about this hella hot girl in a white
bathing suit he kept seeing. I kept looking and couldn't see her. He finally grabbed my head and turned me, pointing out the girl in white..
She looked to be about 8 years old...we were 17. I was like "Dude, she is a little kid!" and his response was the grass on the field thing.
I just left and never spoke to him again.

Minors can't be scheduled more than certain number of hours or work later than a certain time in most states.
Also some jobs require adults for liability reasons. Like my son couldn't use the trash compactor at one job before he was 18.

Yeah no minors could use the arbys slicer

I mean like ppl can tell when you're gaga over them and that makes it a difficult work environment.
Hm. Okay, maybe not "gaga". Maybe something like thinking "she's quite attractive" to yourself and then not acting like a creep about it.
BubbaJubba
Still predatory behavior
i mean... you aren't wrong... but also, if we're gonna draw a line that says "this side ok, that side bad", there's gonna be people who are

It’s like the countdown clocks people had on underage celebrities. Kinda creepy too.
TK421isAFK
Far more creepy, IMO, since these are soon-to-be adults that are in direct proximity to their "admirers".
Exactly what I was thinking. It’s disgusting.
TheDayTheBrainStoodStill
'Kinda'?
NaughtButOne
Not really defending the behavior itself, but I think it's more of an ironic statement on our perceptions. If a celebrity is 17 and a >

UK here. Legal age is 16, and no man would ever do that sort of shit because the rest of us would have a quiet word with them.
Downvoted because apparently employees scoping out minors in the workplace is common and okay behaviour in the UK? What?
downvoted because blatantly wrong. i mean, sure, if the guys noticed, they'd go have a little "talk"... but do they always notice?
If anyone is displaying attraction to minors in the workplace, they get spoken to. By management, or HR. How is that wrong?
The original comment deals with staff using that schedule as some sort of 'safe to fuck' meter, where would that fly?

Jokes on you, the creeps at my work just go after minors anyway.

And I'm guessing nothing happened? Like that big bang episode, with dating sheldons sister..."Guys there may be factor we overlooked"
Somanyquestions
Why were the birthdays visible to all employees?
SidneyHarbor
Minors can't be scheduled more than certain number of hours or work later than a certain time in most states.
SidneyHarbor
Also some jobs require adults for liability reasons. Like my son couldn't use the trash compactor at one job before he was 18.
Mairoa
Yeah no minors could use the arbys slicer
Dustfinger4268
I think it was less like a countdown, and more that "ooh, jenny isn't on the minor board anymore, which means..."
SpontaneousWood
I hate men.
schmidy
They probably don't like you much either?

Did you work at a movie theater?

Walmart does it

No, big box retailer

Why did they post that then? They weren’t serving alcohol or anything I assume?
Mairoa
Also more frequent breaks
Rovylern
Restrictions on child labor, most likely.
LocustChild
A lot of states have hour/shift restrictions for minors.
Blastergv9
At least they are waiting until 18?
NigerianNitemare
Call me a pervert, but I'll take it a step further and say even if they are under 18, as long as they keep their hands off, go gaga.
Kagenical
[Everyone disliked that]
ChikkenandFrikken
I mean like ppl can tell when you're gaga over them and that makes it a difficult work environment.
NigerianNitemare
Hm. Okay, maybe not "gaga". Maybe something like thinking "she's quite attractive" to yourself and then not acting like a creep about it.
BubbaJubba
Still predatory behavior
tzxAzrael
i mean... you aren't wrong... but also, if we're gonna draw a line that says "this side ok, that side bad", there's gonna be people who are

gonna toe-up against that line, no matter where it's drawn.
BrokeMyFunnyBone
As creepy as it is, at least they're waiting
FullMetalMonika
My thought process
idontgiveashitanymor
Not really, there isn’t much of a difference in someone who is dating someone else who is a month from 18 versus a month after the 18th bday
iamthisguy247
It’s like the countdown clocks people had on underage celebrities. Kinda creepy too.
TK421isAFK
Far more creepy, IMO, since these are soon-to-be adults that are in direct proximity to their "admirers".
SoMenSayThatImIntenseOrImInsane
Exactly what I was thinking. It’s disgusting.
TheDayTheBrainStoodStill
'Kinda'?
NaughtButOne
Not really defending the behavior itself, but I think it's more of an ironic statement on our perceptions. If a celebrity is 17 and a >

This was my exact defence in court! Well not ”a year later”, more like a decade but still

The Sun newspaper in the UK had a countdown in it to Emma Watson's 16th birthday.

“Newspaper”
InvalidAsh
She was one of my first celebrity crushes when I was like, 12. I never thought it weird since she was my age.
PolarHailStorm
UK here. Legal age is 16, and no man would ever do that sort of shit because the rest of us would have a quiet word with them.
PolarHailStorm
Downvoted because apparently employees scoping out minors in the workplace is common and okay behaviour in the UK? What?
tzxAzrael
downvoted because blatantly wrong. i mean, sure, if the guys noticed, they'd go have a little "talk"... but do they always notice?
PolarHailStorm
If anyone is displaying attraction to minors in the workplace, they get spoken to. By management, or HR. How is that wrong?
PolarHailStorm
The original comment deals with staff using that schedule as some sort of 'safe to fuck' meter, where would that fly?
InvalidUserError
Absolutely, from Gary the Gutter Cleaner to Prince Andrew the Pedophile. All just honest, good folk there.
PolarHailStorm
Way to use prolific paedophiles influenced with money and power to state your case. 'Fellow employees' much?

We used colored badges. One guy paid waaay too much attention to when they changed color.

Was your coworker named Epstein by any chance? Heard he hung out in NY.
edwbuGameCat
Not voluntarily. At least that's what I heard....
Ekad
Nah, Epstein wouldn't have cared to wait. He went ahead anyway.

"Too old" - Epstein
Foodpornaddict
Well yeah, soon as they hit 18 you can schedule them for 8 hour shifts that end at 3am.
Draciella
Fuck em in New and exciting ways
OrgasPandaCat
Ah. Bdsm. Business developed schedule management.
iamthekmac
Walmart? Got the same issue at my store.
RetailCat
My store doesn't do that...
EyeSpyABreathtakingPerson
No, but it was a chain grocer. I imagine they have similar practices.
neeks64
Wegmans does this too. I remember referring to all the yellow badges as fetuses.
iamthekmac
Yellow badge for minor blue for 18+... It’s good for safety and OSHA standards... I’m a manager and the turnover is through the roof
EyeSpyABreathtakingPerson
I get why they do it, but it's somewhat disconcerting what it turns into in practice. The practice itself makes sense though.
