That’s true especially telling a grown adult you think they’re a child or significantly younger than they actually are can be insulting in some contexts especially if implying something about maturity. I remember when I worked in retail a customer said I look 12 when I was 20 at the time and a friend of mine said that’s insulting.

I read this and I realized this could easily happen to me as I’m just a year younger than you and I don’t look like it either. I know someone else my age who sometimes gets happy meals because they’re cheaper. Plus it’s a way to heal your inner child which is totally valid.

Simple solution. Don't send nudes. Ever. It's not a good idea. Never has been. The momentary squirt of adrenaline and endorphins can have horrible consequences years from now.

"Tell me, senate candidate obviouslynotmymain18, can you explain all of these penis pictures you sent to a teenage girl who says you emotionally manipulated her? Is that the behavior we should expect while you're in office?"

I think this is more a TIFU on her part than your’s. I know I’d be a bit embarrassed if I assumed someone’s age so incorrectly based on their enjoyment of a Happy Meal (which I am now REALLY craving but have no way of acquiring) + making my assumption known to them.

Some circles of people regardless of sex will share nudes with their friends without consent, sure, but outside of highschool/college years I think that drops down exponentially as many come to understand that’s fucked up. Im sure they talk, but sharing photos is it’s own beast, not everyone is that person.

Not a f-up, there's nothing off about enjoying yourself, even if it means you come across as more childlike than you might otherwise behave.

Just last night, I was playing video games with my kids and yeah, I felt (and probably acted) like I did when I was 15. Joy comes in many forms for many people.
