***Mia Khalifa’s bonkalicious guide to not being a skeeze***
—Under-18: While some U.S. states have an age of consent as low as 16, dating someone under 18 (esp. where there is more than a 3+ year age gap: see some states’ “Romeo & Juliet” laws) is widely regarded as a perv move, and it’s probably illegal too.
Perv level; Go directly to horny jail, do not pass Go
—18-25: Mia’s comments highlighted that while dating in this age range isn’t illegal, per se, if you’re over the age of 25 and there’s a large age gap, then it’s pretty damn lame, possibly abusive, and you’re only doing it because you don’t have anything going on with someone your own age.
Perv level: Loser, creep probably
—25+: Women older than 25 are fully-developed mentally, and are capable and competent (or should be). Therefore, age gaps no longer matter, though a 25-year-old dating an 80-year-old carries the strong presumption that the relationship is transactional. Regardless, she’s a grown-ass woman and can make her own decisions.
Perv level: Consenting adults, mind your own
