In our modern culture, with its particular sexual mores
(which are basically watered-down VICTORIAN mores,
which were not based on logic or practicality, but superstition)
older men "getting it on" with younger teenage girls isn't considered kosher. (And from my standpoint, it isn't what floats MY boat either.)
However, trying to stop adult men from going after
young girls is a hopeless cause. Why?
Because for tens of thousands of years, it was the OLDER
MEN who ended up boinking the nubile young girls! And society APPROVED! After all, think of a typical ancient culture. A man who lived into, say, his 40s was clearly no wimp.
Indeed, he was likely one hell of a hunter and/or warrior to have survived that long! Instinctively, young women would be attracted to his healthy, strong genetic stock (which were reflected culturally in his reputation and status.)
Times have changed - people haven't. And so, we will see
this "problem" endure for all time, no matter what Dateline
has to say.
