Question: Why do men want to groom 16 year old girls? Is it because of too much loli rape hentai consumption?
I think it’s largely because, whether they’re aware or not, it makes them feel powerful. Lots of the men I’ve seen online praising the virtues of the teens they aren’t dating but desperately want to say they’re happy, bubbly, and excited by everything, not like those ugly washed up hags in their 30s.
What this says to me is that unimpressive men need to date kids to feel impressive, because women their own age will tell them, maybe not in so many words, that they’re unimpressive.
Since Western men have largely lost much of the absolute power they had over women in society for the last 5,000 years, they think they can regain that feeling of power by being some teenage girl’s omniscient daddy-husband. We no longer need to marry a man for a shot at financial security and social approval, so many of us are refusing to date guys who bring nothing to the table (I hope), and they hate that. Solution? Attempt to date teenagers who will surely think 31 year old call-center Kyle’s detached basement, 2011 modded Honda Civic, and edgy political opinions he downloaded straight from the internet into his brain are the coolest things ever!
Some of them say it’s just about looks, but that doesn’t make sense to me unless they’re actual pedos who prefer childish features. Namely because I truly don’t believe most women objectively look their best at 18. If I had to go through life looking exactly how I did at 18 I’d off myself. Many that age are still gangly and awkward, and especially for neurodivergent girls, the styling is probably gonna be… off, for lack of a better word, for quite awhile longer.
The only time women collectively look their best in their late teens is when those women are teenage fictional characters played by women in their 20s (and lots of these men base their entire worldview around movies and TV so I imagine that has an impact).
They like to say we’re coping when we point these things out, as if we’re the ones half-bald and beer-bellied by 28! As if we’re mad 31 year old call-center Kyle only dates women under 21 because we want Kyle and his $14 an hour for ourselves! As if we couldn’t possibly genuinely just think he’s a loser, lol!
