I didn't read this but just realised Muskrat dated a 36yr old at 17, and for that he has my respect. When I was 16 I used to mingle with a 24yr old, I was old enough to know the consequences at the time and I don't regret what I did. It was hardly "manipulative", there are some instances where people from different ages just click and shit happens. Though I will say that society seems to give less of a shit when the roles are reversed, as guys are basically seen as down-to-fuck the second they reach their teens, and most of us are tbh.

I looked a lot older at the time too (was basically growing beards since 14) so a lot of people seemed to mistake me for someone older. She did know my age but I definitely didn't look prepubescent or anything. So it's not like she was attracted to me because I looked like a child.

She wasn't attracted to you because you liked like a child but likely because you were easier to manipulate and keep than an adult.

That's one of the main drivers for paedos who target teens even though they may go on about the looks, they want control of the relationship and thereby over another human being. This is why paedos who target teens are actually more likely to be psychopaths than those who target pre pubescent children so I'm some ways they are more dangerous.

Tbh I think she was just lonely and dumb (very impulsive), I honestly don't think there was any malice behind her intentions. But I ended up leaving her anyway and it (thankfully) didn't negatively impact me either way.

Wanting control often doesn't start with malice but insecurity.

I do agree with what you're saying but it's hard to explain what a relationship was like to someone that never saw it. So like even if she genuinely wasn't trying to manipulate me, it's hard to prove that.
