The girl is obviously wrong for lying but at the end of the day the guy should check in some way of age and there are clues that should come up pretty quickly to make that realization hit. Why would a 19 year old be in high school all day and not be graduating for another few years? Are parents/friends in the picture? Even if they have a fake I truly think theres major differences in ages and maturity that should be picked up on

48

Well she’s very wrong for that but they still should have asked or clarified before ever pursuing them. Along with noticing signs about them that give it away like schooling, their afternoon activity things like that

23

Even as a woman I can’t always tell the difference between the different ages in teen hood. I’ve seen 16 yr olds who look 19 and vice versa. the guy probably should check to verify her age just for his own safety exactly bc this shit happens. But morally it is ENTIRELY the girls fault. She is old enough to know better

19

Know a really decent guy, who works hard and is incredibly nice, the type of guy who apologizes if you bump into him, who was 18 and got in trouble for this exact same thing and was completely misled and it was a travesty. Everyone, I mean everyone who knew him backed him up, and he still to this day has to register as a sexual offender. Personally, it changed my perspective on so many things that have to do with the law and the relations between men and women

18

Depending on the guy’s age, he probably should not even be looking at 19 yr old women in the first place. If he’s 45 or older, he’s most likely a predator or abuser even if he waits for girls to come of legal age. If he’s under 30, it’s a reasonable mistake. It’s not uncommon for ppl to actually want an age gap.
