Is 16 and 19 really that bad? (self.asklemmy)

So, my good friend (18m) had a falling out with his ex (19m) because the ex bullied him and also because he is apparently dating a 16f, so my friend thinks he is a pedophile for obvious reasons (adult + minor).

I can see why this would be considered bad but also, when I turn 16, my girlfriend will be 19 too, as I am currently a young sophomore who is about 3 years younger than her girlfriend, a senior.

The same numerically. You’re not that obtuse, so is this a joke or are you a cringey debatelord?

numerically adverb

In a numerical manner; in numbers; with respect to number, or sameness in number.

Doubling down on feigned obtuseness, I see.

You can take the girl out of Reddit, but can’t take the Reddit out of the girl.

You're not talking about anything. Just typing for fun

The age difference is about 20% smaller if you add 5 years. Development doesn't happen linearly, though, so the difference is even bigger.
