    Not so long ago it was common for men in their 20s to 40s to marry ~15 years old girls in western societies and it isn’t much different in other parts of the world. It wouldn’t be surprising if a considerable portion of men today still find teenage girls attractive. Many see women “at their prime” when they are around 18 and >25 is already old.

    Spend enough time around all-men groups and you’ll hear them saying the most heinous shit about women. It’s like their brains paused their development at their adolescence when it comes to sexuality. Of course “not all men”, etc. but when they get involved in a group that encourages this behavior most choose to go along with it. I’ve heard enough distasteful pedo “jokes” and comments to say for sure at least half of them would have sex with a minor if they could get away with it.

      I remember working with a guy in his 60s at a marathon type event and he made a comment about some girls in athletic gear who were probably 16-18 and I guess he expected me to be like “hell yeah brother” or something because he seemed shocked when I responded to him with disgust that they were probably born when he was 35.
