early 20s is an adult

yes your avg college goer and your avg middle-aged mark mcenna types are on the same maturity level and have had similar life experiences 🙄

PLEASE are you trying to tell me that late 20s caitlin who went to law school and sucked mark off while the wife and kids were home was a VICTIM? she's smart, she went to law school, she knows what tf she was doing. she even BRAGGED about it.

florence pugh isn't your average fresh college graduate. she's been working for years. like zach is weird and emotionally stunted for dating her but he's not a predator.

omfg you don't seem to understand nuance so I am not even sure where to begin. yes caitlin is a pos but she also was reliant on that dude for her grades and for her living situation. you're telling me the power dynamic is not uneven in that relationship? her acting like an idiot doesn't mean that mark mcenna did not make it easier for her to act like an idiot.
as for florence pugh, she is clapping back to the 'haters' as if she were 15 years old so that doesn't give me much hope for her maturity level. also working in that creepy industry means nothing. she probably already has a warped idea of sexual relationships if she's been working since she was young(but i am not sure if she has?). the zach braffs and leo dicaprios of the world want women who are impressionable and who don't have a solid idea of what they want in a relationship and someone in the early 20s fits the bill. that's side-eye worthy at the very least.

she was done with school when she fucked him -- eye 😭😭😭 she said she was always attracted to his haggard ass

the only victim in this situation is the wife and kids

you can infantilize grown women as much as you want but at the end of the day these are grown adult women with fully developed brains and successful careers

the zach braffs and leo dicraprios of the world want young women because many men are shallow and they want someone who looks the hottest. most people, men and women alike, reach their physical peak somewhere in their 20s. it's shallow af but not predatory.

ok, if that's the case wrt caitlin then I agree it's just a regular affair situation. as for the men and women looking best in their 20s , that is such a big reach and is a justification that creepy ass men use cause they can't actually handle a relationship with a woman their own age. most men and women look better in their 30s when they've grown out of their baby fat. also the avg human lives up to 80 years, if you think after 21 everyone has the same maturity level then I honestly don't know what to tell you. go ahead, die on the hill of ugly old men ig.

this is a cope.

i mean i personally agree but the general population doesn't. it's common sense that men find women in their 20s the most attractive. there's plenty of studies on this.

never said that. i said zach braff was probably emotionally stunted for dating someone 20 years his junior. that does not change the fact that women in their 20s are adults and can make their own decisions and that men aren't predators for dating them.
