>>2164298Anon. I get where you are coming from, but if you're going to tell me that you didn't like girls your age when you were 13 then you are lying. When I was in Middle School I wanted to fuck so many of the girls around me that were 13-15. The problem with liking girls like that when you get older is that 90% of aren't mature enough for an adult male, and most lack any real world understanding. That why most states in the US the age of consent hovers around 16-18, because at least around that point they understand some of the risk of being in a relationship.
>>2169048>That is why coming-of-age rituals and traditions around the world occur at age 12 or 13,In Mexico the coming of age is still 15. In Europe and Japan the age of Consent is around 14-18.
We should also keep in mind that for much of Human history the average human lifespan was much shorter. A woman around the age of 18+ without a mate would be seen as abnormal in much of the world. Only now after the dawn of the industrial revolution and technological age are we more worried about age gap in our mates.
