That may have been true in up until around the 80s, but with the shit that’s in food now adays there are a few here and there that look WAY older than they actually are.
Speaking of young ladies. I was walking through Brooklyn last night and saw an adorable nerdy white girl hanging out in my new neighborhood. I asked her about the restaurant she was sitting outside of and she said it was terrible. Asked her if she wanted to grab a drink instead and she came right along.
I’ve yet to see a 16 year old that I thought was of age.
In fact, about 2/3 of the students at my college, who I assume are all of, or at least 17, going on 18 years old look to be underage to me.
If anything, I think girls these days look YOUNGER, rather than older.
Confirmation bias. Nobody has successfully demonstrated a causal link between the use of growth hormones in food and early development in children. There ARE proven causal links between increased food availability and earlier development in children–and given how the obesity rate in the United States has been climbing since the 1970s, we can assume that kids have access to more food than ever.
This necessarily means that today’s disturbingly healthy-looking teenagers are tomorrow’s disturbingly unhealthy-looking adults.
BreakfastSausage’s perception of 16 year olds as children might have something to do with how they behave, which might subtly affect how they appear to him visually. An ambiguously pubescent kid who shares common interests with you is probably going to seem older than an ambiguously pubescent kid who won’t shut up about… whatever it is that kids are into these days.
Yo, I agree with a lot of the things you post… You’re like my hero or something.
I added Bebier in there because there’s a 27-year old working at the helpdesk in my office that has a giant Bebier poster up in her cubicle.
And yeah, I agree with Rioting soul… Contemplating going to my HS reunion to see what some of these broads look like now.
Meh 16 year old girls don’t look notably different at 18. It’s not really till a women gets into her 20’s that the changes begin to set a lot more visibly. Besides neoteny is generally very common and favorable in women since youth tends to relate to better health and fertility…but even then I rarely see girls in their mid-late teens that retain any prepubescent features to the point that it would remind me of a small child.
Im pretty sure if it was a male teacher and she was 16 everyone would blame the teacher and want him dead, though when the roles are reversed people have double standards. So many people here in this thread dont even think about in some other countries you can get married at 16.
