If I understand right. An 20 year (was he 20 or less?) old was with a 16-17 year old? I dont think thats a huge deal. They might just be 3 years apart.

3 years is almost 20% of a 16 year olds life

17 year old high schooler dating a 20 year old college aged guy is creepy and not the same as a 23 year old dating a 26 year old.

Watch out, we’ll have none of these nuances on Reddit

Yeah all these redditors are in instant outrage mode. Jokes aside, this is fucked.

Problem is if the girl was 15, as some alleged, it would count as statutory rape.

Here in the USA a 20 year-old should not be interacting with 16-17 year old especially for a new relationship. There would more wiggle-room if say they had met while he was in HS.

But then you have people who believe any relationship with uneven power dynamics in a man's favor is problematic. But thats not this situation.

It’s lowkey incredibly common. I was 19 and was dating at 17 year old for a while since we started liking each other when I left for college. For like a month a while it was 19 and 16 lol

If it makes y’all feel any better she was taller than me and people kept thinking I was her little brother (one of the reasons the relationship never worked 💀)
