  • Honey, You're Not a Pedophile

    A while ago, an old friend from elementary school told me that she has a crush on a boy.

    Kim: Noreen, I like someone.

    Noreen: Awww

    Kim:  No, I like-like someone.

    Noreen:  Awww that’s cute

    Kim:  But he’s a high school freshman!

    Noreen:  That’s even cuter!

    Kim:  No, you don’t understand, I’m 2 years OLDER than him!

    Noreen:  Yeah, you’re a junior… so?

    Kim:  That means that he’s 2 years YOUNGER than me!

    Noreen:  Okay…what’s your point?

    Kim:  I’M A PEDOPHILE!

    Noreen: ok..wait, WHAT?!

    A pedophile?  The age difference is 2 years! 

    ped·o·phile  (pěd'ə-fīl')
    n.  An adult who is sexually attracted to a child or children.

    First of all, Kim is 16; she isn’t an adult, she’s a kid. 

    Second of all, I’ve seen this lucky boy.  He’s a real cutie, and he looks like a younger and somewhat less effeminate version of this guy:


    In my honestly personal most truthful opinion, I don’t see the “sexual” in “sexually attracted”


    …maybe that’s just my opinion…


    BUT I'm getting off topic. 

    Any thoughts about this/females dating younger men/pedophiles/Lee Jun Ki/my crazy friend?

    Your friend is, indeed, crazy.

    I don't think it's a big deal.  My boyfriend of two years is 9 months younger than me.  As long as he's mature enough for her I'd say go for it.  But guys are about two years less mature than their age, so while he is 14 years old, he might act like a 12-13 year old.  Something to think about.

  • MangoWOW

    Haha for a second I thought you were talking about my friend! 

    He just told me today he likes a girl who is 17 and he's 26 or so. I called him a pedo but Im mostly kidding.

    As long as it's not like a 20-year-old dating a 15-year-old then I think you're fine. Actually my boyfriend's the first guy I've been in a relationship with that's older than me. My first love was 8 months younger, and my second relationship he was a year and a half younger. When it's love/crush/infatuation/whatever age sometimes doesn't matter. Though when you're younger there is a big difference from a 15-year-old and an 18-year-old. But your friend is NOT a pedophile by any means. Tell her to go for it and have fun! :]

    My nephew is a high school freshman who's dating a junior that goes to school with him.  It's not pedophilia.  Heck, it's not uncommon for junior males to date freshman females.

  • xchinkylaydee

    Haha, she is not a pedophile. Not even close! Unless you're like 21. Woah, he looks like Lee Junki? that's a rare find. haha

  • MunLong

    Eh, that is not pedophile. A junior dating 7th grader... that's when you should really think about what you getting into.

    By the way, is that last pic a dude or chick? I can't tell... dam girly asian people... 

  • XoAsianBabioX

    WAIT HE LOOKS LIKE LEE JUNKI?! ID FALL IN LOVE WITH ANYONE WHO LOOKS LIKE HIM. 

  • Roadlesstaken

    she might be overexaggerating the problem there a bit haha

  • DarkJsurfer

    I used to think like that too lol but i wasnt even 18 yet and i was dating a 13 year old

  • openmindedgirlk

    Def. not a pedophile. I know seniors who date freshman.

  • aznspartan94

    Oh shnap the only freshie to get asked to prom? Woot for him? Maybe, maybe not...

    Pedos are usually 10+ years older than their victims(?).
  • noree_n

    @Roadlesstaken - haha justttt a little bit

    @MangoWOW - awww!  Haha...mostly kidding...lol :D

    @MunLong - hahahahha...you gotta love your girly asian men! 

    @XoAsianBabioX - hahahahha!!!  he's definitely cute XD

  • phuck_diz_shiz

    I've used that term too for liking younger guys
    I guess we used the term pedophile* cause it feels a tad wrong for liking someone younger
    Pedophile usually a MUCH OLDER* person being sexually attracted to a MUCH YOUNGER kid

    cause usually girls are attracted to OLDER* guys
    & the guys would be called pedophile / LG hunter (litter girl )

    I know 1 year / 2 year younger doesn't make much of a difference
    But the thought HES YOUNGER THAN ME EWW THATS LIKE LIKING MY LITTLE BRO / DATING MY LIL BRO'S FRIEND - mentality thing going on
    FOR ME THAT IS*
    The age difference bugs me - it always linger at the back of my mind
    WHEN I KNOW AGE* IS JUST A NUMBER IT SHOULDNT MATTER
    When i hang out with them i forget about their age - but when i think about it - that EWW thought just creeps up HES YOUNGER THAN ME!!

  • victoriia77

    Definitely not a pedo!! Indeed it is cute though!

  • LilyTheBunny

    he's such... a pretty boy. so fragile x____x


    okay, she has pedophilia D:
  • xyummyxnoodlesx

    lmaooo i'll go for him if he looks like jun ki <3

  • npr32486

    i have thoughts on pedophiles.  and how many you probably attract.  hahaha

  • Uladh

    that sounds ok to me. not really a big deal.

    She should only be worrie about how the specific law is worded where she lives. She can look it up on intenet. When both parties are past puberty "paedophilia" is strictly a legal definition and depends on what legislators have written into the law. At her age, though, chances are that he is a lot less mature than she was at the same age- not necessarily, but most often that is the case.

  • rickystar1

    He looks like a girl???

  • brianbsquared

    About the age thing, when you get older the age part doesn't matter.  As a youngin like you, don't worry...just tell your friend that its not a bad thing right now.  See where it goes.  You only have to worry when your 17 or 18 (forgot the rule in Texas) but yeah, as long as you're not doing anything to violate someone's sanctity, then you're set.


    As of right now I'm talking to a girl who's 28, and I'm set to turn 23 in 2 days...age isn't anything but a number when you're older...so don't worry about it entirely.
  • moshibum___xX

    Looks like Lee Jun Ki? If she won't have him, I will! LOLLL.

  • Phenom66

    Its not a pedophile. theres the "age" factor.

    Divide your age in half, and add 7. Thats the minimum age you can date!
