Is it socially acceptable for an adult to admire teenage/school girls

    I am a young male adult in my twenties.

    Is it okay to look at 13-18 year old girls and find them attractive?

    What do others think?

    I personally hate that I find them attractive but I do think girls - particularly aged 16-18 - are unbelievable at that age.

    I know lots of guys in secondary school who rode first years when they were in leaving cert.

    I was not one of those guys.

    I'm grand. It's more a forbidden fruit kind of thing.

    And girls of that age dress inappropriately these days. I can't help but look.

    In soviet Russia Sergei this may be acceptable. Here it's a big NO.

    I'm no so sure saying "No pedo" covers you while talking about admiring attractive 13 year schoolgirls...

    18+ fine. Particularly for a guy in his early 20s.

    16 not fine. And even less so for a guy in his late 20s.

    Could they not prey on someone their own age?

    That's just...depressing. "Lots of guys"? What was wrong with them?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14 seldom seen kid


    i dont know about it being a socially acceptable thing, but biologically it is natural. as a male u have it prebiult into your body to produce a healthy child and physical attraction for a healthy mother i something you body will look for. healthy mother carries healthy child.
    creepy but natural.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 394 ✭✭Brian from Bray

    I find it highly unnatural that anyone in their late teens would have a sexual attraction for someone in their very early teens, as the OP suggested many of his acquaintances did.

    Sure isn't the legal age in Spain 14? I think Russia is 13.

    Seriously messed up.

    Mate you're the one telling us you're attracted to 13 year olds:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,807 ✭✭✭speedboatchase


    Your thoughts are your own and any kind of fantasy any one has is completely their business, in this case if it isn't acted upon.

    Honestly though, I would say it isn't socially acceptable to say anything aloud but I'm sure others privately would feel the same. Speaking personally there's a huge difference between teenage girls when I was a teenager and teenagers today, who look a lot older due to hair and make-up (every girl in my school wore tied their hair up and didn't wear make-up) and would definitely dress more provocatively. I would probably find it difficult to distinguish between a 17-year-old and a 21-year-old.

    Anyways, keep things (all things!) to yourself and you'll be fine!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,949 ✭✭✭A Primal Nut


    Sorry to tell you lads but being attracted to 16-year olds more than adult girls is not natural or normal.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,611 ✭✭✭Valetta


    I see this used as a thinly veiled excuse for pedophilia all the time.

    All the time? Seriously?

    What do you do for fun when you're not perving kids?


  • Posts: 26,052 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    No, it's not okay for a man in his twenties to be eyeing up kids of 13. And no, kids that age do not have healthy pregnancies, since they haven't stopped growing themselves and are probably only just menstruating, so don't try blaming biology.

    Speaking as a former 13 year old schoolgirl, my stomach used to turn when old lads (which is what anyone over 16 is to a kid that young) would leer and stare. There's no justifying creeping on kids.

    Lots of guys you knew shagged 12-13 year olds when they were 17/18? That's extremely creepy and is actually statutory rape. Poor girls.

    Not rode. Shifted.

    Well some of them rode.

    You have your head in the sand if you think 13 year olds don't have sex.

    I got laid for the first time in my late teens but I knew guys and girls that were already doing it six years beforehand.

    And that age group has never been more exposed to sexuality than it is now. (Internet, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Katy Perry)

    It's is creepy....I remember this conundrum when I was living in Dublin to do FAS training and I only barely 18 and seeing young wans in school near we used be and they like the same age as me...and not being sure and not wanting to end in jail (paranoid lol)...so didn't look used kinda know wans me own age in collage instead :D


    So OP it is not socially acceptable to admire schoolgirls (unless your in school??) IMO


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 437 ✭✭Pink Lemons


    I'd spend more time looking for the mothers of these girls OP, as usually someone with kids that age is right in the perfect MILF age range.

    Comparative justification doesn't make anything right.

    Creepiest thread, do your mates know your supposed to get locked up for that like?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,298 ✭✭✭DareGod


    As far as I'm aware - and common sense would suggest - it is natural to be attracted to people below legal age. But we have together, as a society, made the calculated, collective decision that it is not in the best interests of people below legal age to engage in sexual activity with them.

    Lots of things are totally natural that, in the best interests of someone or other, we do not do, because we are an intelligent species and we have used that intelligence to reach that conclusion.

    So your natural urges are nothing to be ashamed of. But to act on them, when we have already established that it goes against the best interests of certain people, would be morally terrible.

    (Is the legal age too high? That's a related yet separate discussion. Personally I don't know.)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51 ✭✭Aidan Holland


    There is nothing wrong with finding girls between the ages of let's say 16 to 19 hot I freely admit when I'm driving to work or on the bus I stare at a woman's arse as she is walking on a street especially if shes attractive and yes if I was offered safe sex by a girl between these ages as I have been in the past and enjoyed it but I don't find girls lower than 16 attractive. I have a female friend of mine who is late 30s married with 2 young kids who finds teenage boys utterly irresistible.

    i think it is a little natural but it is a question of what you really want. do you want her to be your child barer or just to **** her. or does something other than the fact that she is attractive make you want to know more about her

    there is a rule a friend of used to use, and i have done so too, half your age plus seven, but it may imprint the thought that u should alway have a hot young women. that can be very unhealthy form of thinking for the ego i reckon

    Exactly.

    I don't know why people are calling me a creep. The mere fact I started this thread shows that I know it is wrong and I am embarrassed about it.

    If I caught you eyeing my school going daughter up I'd serve you your balls on a plate!!

    Who the hell over the age of 16 would boast about having sex with a 12/13 year old? Sounds pretty disgusting.

    You also have your head in the sand if you think crime doesn't happen, but that doesn't mean it's okay to commit it.

    Just because KIDS - because we're talking about children here, and whether or not its acceptable for adults to look at them in a sexual manner - are exposed to an over sexualised society, it doesn't make it okay to exploit and take advantage of that.

    Why is this even a question? Of course it's not okay to be a creep.

    The mates remark was for the OP, sorry!

    Just pointing out that auld Muhammed wasn't the only boy getting up to that. I read somewhere that Mary would more than likely have been 13 when she shacked up with Joseph and God himself got her pregnant with our lord and saviour.

    You're a man in your twenties, admitting to a sexual attraction to children. Yes, a 13 year old is a child.

    Surely you can work out that many people find that rather off putting?

    I'm not outraged btw, I know you'd like to think I am, but I'm just a bit sickened. You know, an adult man letching on kids doesn't sit well with most.

    And I well remember being a schoolgirl, putting up with the leers and stares from what I considered to be old guys. It wasn't nice.

    either that OR you like looking at teenagers yourself, and you come up with the concept because you get aroused by looking at teenagers = same thing as meth = people on meth = paranoid = you also need to check yourself before you shrek yourself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,807 ✭✭✭speedboatchase


    But I am not acting on anything. Why the outrage?

    The outrage is because it's not socially acceptable. It's odd but at a time where society is sexualising teenagers - of both sexes - more and more, there is a zero tolerance policy over saying, for example, that a 17-year-old is attractive. It's like once someone hits the age of 18 the entire world breathes a sigh of relief.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 174 ✭✭Sergei Malatov


    I remember older girls cooing over first year boys in secondary school too. It goes both ways.
