Wait OP, how old are you?

this board is quite a bit older than most other boards I've seen this question asked on, makes sense though

22

>>10580852
also 21

>>10580876
What's the average age you usually see anon? Hmm, I wonder if /fa/ skews older as well.

>>10580876
I think it's because /cgl/ has a big nostalgia element to it that keeps people using it for an embarrassingly long time.

>>10580876
i was thinking this as well! honestly i'm kind of surprised, i would have hoped women in their late twenties-early thirties would be less... this way.

>>10580889
So you asked for everyone’s age so you can insult them over if? Very mature of you.

>>10580891
i'm not OP but okay?

27 but I refuse to turn 28 this year. I lost a year of my life due to COVID, so I'm not ticking up my number for a year I didn't get to live.

24 omg

Turning 27 soon

>>10580885
from the boards I frequent and see this asked-
/v/ is about 18-24 (probably plenty of underage kids pretending to be an adult)
/lgbt/ teens to early 20's
/a/ early to mid 20's
/vr/ mid to late 20's with some much older outliers, but that was a while ago. There's a lot more /v/ tourists who hate physical collecting and any consoles from before the early 2000's so average age is probably younger now.
and I assume nobody over the age of 18 goes on /b/ anymore

overall, ages here seems to be closest to /vr/. Probably because both boards are about hobbies that require a steady income, something a lot of younger people don't have. I don't go on /fa/ much but I would assume it's about the same as here or maybe a bit younger, fashionable clothing in general can get expensive

>>10580891
nta but this board reminds me of catty high school bitches in the worst way possible but you guys are almost all about a decade too old to be in high school, which is pretty funny

>>10580889
It's 4chan, what do you expect? Stupid/crazy also doesn't stop after a certain age, if you want examples go to reddit and look at all the places devoted to terrible women/people, like r/EntitledBitch, r/FuckYouKaren, r/JUSTNOMIL, r/insanepeoplefacebook, etc

>>10580912
i get that it's 4chan but some other boards are actually less unhinged, and more funny in the way they approach each other. /cgl/ is just women who literally want the worst for each other, and that's not normal

>>10580914
Not always. Dream dress gulls are amazing.

>>10580896
omg same but 26 turning 27. I'm taking off three years from here on out.

So to answer your question, OP
23

>>10580809
23

19, youngest in my comm...

>>10580936
Off topic, but does anyone’s comm have minors? We had a 16 year old come to a meet once and it was super awkward for us to hang out with a kid.

>>10580941
I was 17 my first meet and the adults barely acknowledge I existed. There was one other girl minor who was 16 and we just awkwardly sat with each other in a corner while everyone else lowkey avoided us.

>>10580914
Lolita just attracts that type of person desu. I've known a lot of lolitas who act just like seagulls. I think it's a complex that stems from being bullied or an outcast at best then entering an environment where you can finally feel like one of the cool kids.

27 until April.

>>10580809
26. No minors in our comm.

>>10580914
Like other anons have said, the fashion just seems to attract more of that kind of person in general. And when I say 4chan, I mean that the main draw is that it's not a positive/safe space, or hug box as is often said. This is in contrast to most other comms so ofc anyone who wants to be catty would flock here.

>>10580889
Immaturity, stupidity, and egocentricity have no age limit I'm afraid.

31, I was 23 when I started wearing lolita. I think it’s fine to be interested as a minor but I don’t think one should get into the fashion seriously until they have a steady paycheck.

>>10580941
My local comm is kind of small and at my first meet ever I was alone with a 16 old and a 18 old because the majority canceled last second. It was so fucking awkward but I tried to make the best of the situation. On my second meet there were lots of people and I tried to get to know everyone, but those two were also there and they clang to me because they knew me already and I basically didn't get to speak to anyone after my basic introduction. The third meet was at a restaurant and I was sat at the far end of the table together with the "kids". At that point it was already established to the group that I would be hanging out with the teenagers. It was so annoying to break through being labeled like this, it took like half a year until I became fully integrated into the group.

Minors in coms, FB groups are only permitted because we use them as an excuse to ban stuff we don't like. We ignore you but we need you to be able to claim, "there are minors, we cannot permit this..."

>>10580914
Not true imo, i've experienced a lot of kindness from anons here.

>>10581222
the average age as of this post is 27

57

24, I honestly thought the average age of this board would be 21 or younger

>>10581252
same, the average poster acts like a catty zoomer

I just turned 27...

>>10580809

>>10581253
imo the shitty behavior here is more reminiscent of entitled boomers

32

>>10580809
Wow I thought I'd be the oldest at 35. it's been a long time and my wardrobe is almost entirely complete!

30

19 !!

>>10580941
I was 16 at my first meetup. Everyone was pretty nice to me, I don't what the issue is with everyone here. If they found it awkward, they didn't make it known to me which was kind of them.

>>10580850
ditto

Bought my first bodyline dress when I was 14, joined my local comm when I was 18. I'm 26 now.

I’m 27. I was 19 at my first meetup and felt young, so I didn’t attend another for 5 years. Then at the next one I attended in a different town everyone was college age and I felt old. I think the answer is I’m just bad at making friends no matter their age.

31! I’m wearing lolita since my teens and amuses me of the fashion change over time. I’m way happier is so easy to get dresses now, back then it was a pain in the ass. Miss livejournal community dearly though.

Pettyness and salt are for all ages, guess when you grow older less you care. From what I see, only younger people in my community fears or pretend to do not post on cgl, imo.

29

26
I like to believe the majority of gulls here are good gulls and it’s just maybe a handful or more mentally unstable gulls that shit up every thread. Which makes the more stable gulls regulate the unstable gulls resulting in what appears to be a shit storm of gulls constantly pecking at each other.

When did we last have a census? We should do another one.

>>10581422
Yessssssss

>>10580904
>I assume nobody over the age of 18 goes on /b/ anymore
Wrong it’s all 30 somethings posting pictures of their ex wife naked

>>10581429

>>10581422
Yes please!

>>10581443
Wrong its just futa and fbi honey traps

27, it's nice to see a lot of gulls are around my age, I was expecting a lot more youngins

>>10581253
>>10581267
Actually, /cgl/'s autistic edgelord arrested development is pretty on brand for geeky millennials. I don't know what it is about my generation that made us stay emotionally stranded in our teens forever, but it feels like a weird number of us stopped mentally developing past 2008. /cgl/ in particular comes across like we've never grew out of our unironically-wanting-to-be-Regina-George phase.

>>10581549
>/cgl/ in particular comes across like we've never grew out of our unironically-wanting-to-be-Regina-George phase.
Regina wannabes are the female varients of Rick Sanchez wannabes and I don't know which one is cringier.

>>10581571
Look at how iconic milkyfawn was though, and she basically playacted EXACTLY that trope, down to the blonde hair and expensive dresses and first language english

I turned 18 not too long ago and now am actually old enough to be on 4chan now. I wonder what the favorite brands are among the age ranges. Some of my favorites are Miho Matsuda and Atelier Boz but I always assumed that those were brands whose customers strayed older just from the few times I check cof.

>>10581549
I visit /cgl/ for the dream dress thread and the dirt on shitty 2nd hand sellers. Ngl I’m a bit concerned for our generation, but now I kinda like watching the autistic edge lord shit show during breaks while drinking my afternoon coffee.

>>10581606
>>10581549
You're on the wrong website. This is 4chan culture, if you don't like it then go to another website.

>>10581610
>This is 4chan culture
the retards who spout this aren't familiar with other boards. /cgl/ is particularly heinous. the other boards are inflammatory but they don't actually want to hurt each other, unlike here.

>>10581612
Newfag colors bright and clear. You're an idiot.

37

>>10581612
It depends on the board. Yeah, some boards are really chill compared to /cgl/, but some boards make /cgl/ look like a hugbox.

>>10581610
I'm so sick of this defense. The board would be so much better if people stopped treating it like a safe space for their autistic temper tantrums because ~but muh 4chan~.

31

>>10580904
/g/ is heavily skewed towards millenial/gen X in my experience. Comfy af

>>10580811
I’m 32, it’s nothing so bad.

>>10581619
what really signals newfaggotry is prancing onto /cgl/ and shitting up every thread because it's "4chan culture"

but go off

I just turned 26, which makes me happy because it was always a weird goal of mine to officially become a Christmas Cake. But from here on out I'm going to claim 25 until I no longer pass.

>>10581421
That's why I take aggro posts with a grain of salt and try not to get worked up over them. I roll my eyes whenever a larper makes a RC thread crying about the dire state of lolita based on all the reactionaries on cgl. It's obvious that they don't actually interact with a comm

>>10581421
I agree. You can usually tell based on typing style and the timing of the posts that it's the same handful of people sperging off. I really don't think it represents the entire board.

38, been wearing jfash since the late 90s.

>>10580941
I'm part of a small comm, though we all think of it more as a "private friend group" because we don't have an FB or anything. There's half a dozen of us, and we're all late 20s or older. I think the oldest member is in her 40s. No itas, and only one of the girls has any kind of social media. (Though we all had LJs back in the day.)

We occasionally have minors come to our meets (like, once a year). Usually it's a relative or friend of another group member. It's never been a problem, but we've never had some kind of super obnoxious ita teen show up so idk how that would go.

>>10581671
>I'm going to claim 25 until I no longer pass
What’s the point of that anon?
Also, not sure if you know this but that Christmas cake thing hasn’t been current in Japan since the 80s. Most people in their 20s haven’t even heard of it, and women are more likely to get married in their late 20s or early 30s now.

20 and i can afford a lot of brands only because my dad is rich

>>10581683
nayrt, but I also turned 26 late last year and I personally plan on claiming to be 22-23 until I no longer pass.
>Why?
People perceive you much differently if you're over 25 and still into things like lolita. People already perceive lolita as weird, but the weirdness is lessened when you're under a certain age (that age being 25). Also even if you could pass for 18, if you tell people you're 26+, you're automatically viewed as less attractive and more haggard no matter how fresh faced you are. A woman's worth plummets past age 25 and we know this, even if we're beautiful and people tend to think we're in high school, when they KNOW you're actually 26 they view you as gross.

>>10581700
Why would you want to appeal to people who fetishize youth to the point of being grossed out that you're a day over 25? Sounds like those people aren't worth attention or acceptance from.

>>10581700

>>10581644
this. vicious posts are only more obvious on here because it’s so slow

>>10581700
>People perceive you much differently
I was watching some random interview with this elegant lady, not young. The interviewer asked her age and she just replied happily, "I don't tell my age".
There was something...freeing about it. Not having to deal with people's perceptions. If she was under X age they would think Y and Z, and if she was over X age they'd think the opposite. She doesn't reveal her age and the judgements can't even begin. Sure, I can imagine people calling her insecure because erasing the scrutiny around age involves being open and proud about it. But she was just like, you're going to have to live with not knowing my age. I liked it a lot.

>>10581683
china however very much pushes the "sheng nu" thing, but that starts at 27

>>10581700
This is a shit and incel-esque take but actually I remember feeling something like this right after I turned 26. It does kind of feel like you’ve gone over a hill, more than 25 somehow. But after a few months I realized my face wasn’t crumbling like pastry and I got over it. The only people who actually think people over 25 are old are boys under 20 and pedophiles, and if you care what either of those categories think about you I don’t know what to tell you.

>>10581704
This

>>10581700

Stop caring about other people’s perceptions.
The quicker you get this, the better you will be. Those magical milestones people put on other lives will never end. 40, 50, and people will never cease to say you will need to stop doing things because of your age.

Age gracefully, do things you like freely. The negative side of aging just comes for those that are too afraid to live their life to it fullest.

>>10580809
19, finally got true spending power and went ham.

>>10581736
A chinese lolita I knew always claimed to be 23 at meets even though I knew she was 27 in reality.

>>10581700
Have you tried not giving a fuck? A+ would recommend

There’s a very pervasive narrative (irl as well as online) that women hit a “wall” at X age and I even bought into it myself a bit in my late 20s because I spent so much time on shit boards like /v/. It’s kind of fascinating when you realise it’s total bullshit, particularly if you still live in the town you grow up in and see 30something men you went to high school with looking bald and haggard. Shitty genetics/not looking after yourself comes for both sexes in equal measure unfortunately; men generally fare worse in the skin department because they aren’t socialised to bathe in the blood of virgins daily from the age of 12

>>10580914
I would argue /vp/ is significantly more unhinged than here. Although /cgl/ seems to be full of vitriolic spite, /vp/ just has some of the most legitimately disturbed posters of any board I frequent. Sure /vt/ has the constant rumor-mongering and schizoposting, and /x/ is /x/, but there's something about /vp/ that consistently attracts folks that do things like:
-show a shiny pokemon to their grandmother's corpse
-own a collection of regirock figurines submerged in piss jars
-commission art of their genderswapped self-insert OC getting impregnated by Pokemon
- Obsess over every little bit of drama on a scale that puts /cgl/ to shame. [This goes far beyond mere genwunners, but is related]

This isn't even touching on the doomposting and horniness, which I'd say is a pretty normal part of any board. However, I'd also say /vp/ is the most entertaining board to browse on the regular due to the constant stream of insane events.

>>10582115
My ex is a /vp/-er, they are just as bad irl as they seem online too

>>10582115
lol boards like /vp/ and /mlp/ are in a league of their own. i meant boards like /po/, /g/, /3/, /toy/... all dedicated "hobbyist" type boards that are pretty chill.

on second thought, i think the state of /cgl/ is also in part to a lot of us being active on social media and probably knowing each other. there's an attitude of "if i post this i bet that bitch will see it"

>>10581595
Seven years later and I still miss her.

>>10581595
She played the mean girl trope in deerstalker's scripted vids but was otherwise just a girl who spent all her extra cash on burando and enjoyed lolita. People were envious of how much she owned, not obsessed over the Regina Georgeness.

>>10580889
It's 4chan you retard ffs

>>10580889
You’re on a shitty Chinese image board with women who spend $300+ on ugly Japanese dresses. No one here is mentally ok.
Get out while you can

>inb4 projecting
I’ve met some of you. You’re nice for the most part but a lot of you have actual issues

>>10582157
Was she the one that ditched Lolita because someone was trying to befriend her by suicide baiting or was that someone else?

1X, can’t really say it cause I don’t want to get banned again.

>>10582212
UNDERAGE PLS GO

>>10582212
Underage shitters fuck off

>>10582201
Bruh. This culture has nothing to do with lolita. It's 4chan culture.

I've been here since before CGL or being into lolita.

Also tired of idiot newfags coming on here being like "what do I name my new dog?"

Fucking biscuit, you retards. Regardless, things are a lot more toned down on this board than they used to be but I don't think anyone should feel misled into thinking this is a board to be used like reddit, facebook, or any other social media website. It's not. And this culture has been here probably longer than most people have used the internet actively.

>>10582221
Lolita’s are known for being awful and it’s not because of “4chan culture”. It certainly helped though.

>>10582221
What the fuck are you talking about

>>10582224
Absolutely. They were horrible before they found CGL. CGL just helped provide a new platform for it.

I remember the age of Miyu self posting all over the place and this board predominately being cosplay. I'm surprised it's more lolitas shitting up the board all over the place, now. But I guess Cosplay moved to other places?

But the majority of these lolitas are newfags and it shows. I think there's a pretty foul taste in the lolita community if you use 4chan, but realistically it's just the same shitters out there that would have used some LJ pages to shitpost itas anyways. At least they aren't making shrine pages to hate on girls the same way. Christ. If anything this is better.

>>10582228
You wouldn't know, newfag.

GTFO FFS

>>10580891
OP here. That user is not me. I asked this question because I'm going through the dumb phase of feeling like I'm aging out of my interests, but one thing about lolita that has pleasantly surprised me is how many people have been into it since the mid to late 2000's. I'm 28 and got my first dress at 16, so it's really wonderful amd reaffirming to see how many people my age and older are still into it.

Although, I don't exactly disagree with AYRT. It gives me extreme secondhand embarassment to see people who have been out of high school for over a decade shamelessly acting like catty teenagers then crying "muh board culture!" whenever it's called out. A lot of you really do need to grow up.

>>10581700

Ha, ha. I don't have this problem. I don't hang out with people who hang out on the daily with teenagers.

If people sincerely think you're gross when they find out you're 'not a teenager', you either need to stop hanging out with those men or find an older crowd.

>>10582229
Exactly. At least 4chin has some rules.
I think Lolita is dominating this board only because there’s no cons going on right now and most people buy their cosplays online these days. Havent seen many tripfags around either

There's a name for men who view women like that. It starts with a "p" and ends with "e", can you guess what it is?

>>10581700
>A woman's worth plummets past age 25 and we know this, even if we're beautiful and people tend to think we're in high school, when they KNOW you're actually 26 they view you as gross.

Can confirm this. Also, look at fertility charts. Look at the drop-off. Its the exact spot where female worth decreases.
Lolita is a fashion that takes its name from a pedo book, that fetishizes youth. Youth is fertility.
Youth is beauty.

Anyone who contradicts this are in total denial. And are old hags as well.

>>10581683
>women are more likely to get married in their late 20s or early 30s now.

Well.. Thats if they have had the same partner for.. Five years or more. So.. Kinda the same thing, because marriage used to be a thing that started the relationship, whereas now its the final seal on a rocksteady relationship..

So.. If you are not hitched by 25, your chances are indeed very very very slim. Wall incoming and all.

Sorry to tell the truth.

>>10581724
>"I don't tell my age".

It just reads and comes across as.. "Old af hag".

Honestly I turned 30 last year and the majority of the guys I know still don't believe me. I guess that's not horrible, but I seriously think I look my age now.

My workplace also doesn't really treat me like I'm all that old as well, but I am working with a bunch of 40+ year olds. The only reason why I denounce looking younger is actually my workplace. It makes me want to look older, because I get less respect in management esque jobs..

>>10583455
>>10583457
Spoken like a true pedo scrote. You'd make Humbert proud.

>>10583455
>Lolita is a fashion that takes its name from a pedo book
It's not named after the book, anyone within the fashion knows this, so scrote detected. Also, the books isn't a "pedo book", it's a book about a pedo, there is a difference.

>that fetishizes youth. Youth is fertility.
>Youth is beauty.
Let this serve as a reminder to you ladies that any male making you feel bad for turning 25 is almost certainly a literal pedo like this shameless degenerate here.

>>10583470
>Let this serve as a reminder to you ladies that any male making you feel bad for turning 25 is almost certainly a literal pedo like this shameless degenerate here.
Preach.
Also, the top searched keyword in porn is “milf” so most normal guys 25+ would prefer to be with someone their age or older.

>>10583455
Lmaoooooooo under what bridge did you crawl out from?!

My worth just keeps on increasing the more “old hag” I get.

>>10583470
anon, it is named after the book. but it's because of anons like that jackass.

>>10583457
>So.. If you are not hitched by 25, your chances are indeed very very very slim. Wall incoming and all.
It’s not hard to get hitched after 25 if you have a good personality, know how to socialize, take care of your appearance, and stop chasing after pedo guys
I know plenty of normie women that managed to snag a divorced millionaire in their early 30s. And women in their late 20s settling down with men in their early to late 30s

>>10583495
>anon, it is named after the book.
No it is not, newfriend. There are tons of resources explaining this fact.

>>10583457
>If you are not hitched by 25, your chances are indeed very very very slim.

Tf are you on? Nearly all my married friends didn't tie the knot til they were 26 or older. Many of them didn't even date for longer than 2-3 years. Half the ones that got married in their early 20s are already divorced.
25 is still pretty young. Many marriages don't last between people younger than that because people change a lot and at 25 haven't even fully come into themselves yet.

>>10583504
actually, it is. there are more japanese resources that lead to it being named after the book because the book is about a sad girl being looked at sexually by men in a negative way, which also is part of lolita's roots, to shun the male gaze.

>>10583455
Male worth starts at zero and only decreases over time

>>10583518
Married at 24 to a total fucking idiot. Left him four years later. Married a rich stone cold fox when I was 30, whomst I had just met, and is the most amazing person. Life rules now. Definitely not the same person in my 30s that I was in my early 20s. Don’t settle y’all.

>>10583520
I actually prefer this take and want it to be true. Do you remember the sources?

>>10583518
>>10583529
No one should get married before 25 IMO. I was engaged to my high school sweetheart until 21 and he was an awful partner, I couldn't see how horrible he was until way after the break up when I reflected on just how horrifically I was treated. He was a huge asshole, going nowhere in life, and ontop of that I found out post-breakup that he cheated on me with countless different girls. In the latter half of my 20's, I got married to a hot rich guy 2 years younger than me with an 8 inch dick, and we've been together 7 years total. He spoils me with burando and treats me like a queen.

Pedoness aside, older men go after younger women becayse they're easier to manipulate and genuinely will put up with way more bullshit. Their self-worth is typically lower and they haven't yet realized that no man is better than a shitty man, so they're more willing to settle for garbage.

>>10583455
Incel scrotes love to tout out "fertility!!!" to justify their pedo preferences. They seem to think in "the good old days" they idolize where women had large families, women were able to give birth to multiple children between the ages of 20 and 25.

Which is complete bullshit. Even the fucking Victorians wouldn't consider a woman in her 30s past her childbearing years. This is ahistoric bullshit invented by modern misogynistic men.

>>10580878
I just turned 21 as well lol

Turned 24 this year. Started lolita in my teens also. My comm has always been accepting of minors and I love the enthusiasm they have for the fashion. Babysitting is not accepted though so attendees need to capable of handling themselves.

>>10583457

I know I'm adding to the (you's) but my friends all found guys in their early to mid thirties and are in stable, loving relationships. Predatory older men may go for younger girls, but sane men seem to understand the importance of finding someone in a similar stage of life.

>the top searched keyword in porn is “milf”

Look up any source. Its "teen". Not "Milf".

Honest question: practically no one here is confident to cosplay after 35?

>>10583907
This is a lolita thread

>>10583895
U r wrong. Check any pornhub top searched keyword articles

>>10583910
Did you want to answer, then forgot what the question was?

>>10583934
>the number one keyword is Japanese

Why tho? I know we’re on a website that worships glorious nippon, but Japanese porn is weird and gross af and really sucks (and not well)

>>10583938
I agree. I cannot get off to Japanese stuff at all. Its fucking disgusting most of the time. I don't really consume hentai, but I can see the appeal. JAV though? It's so uncomfortable

>>10583942
You mean two chubby jap girls vomiting onto each other is not fun? It cracks me up everytime. You have to give them the creativity.

>>10583935
Don't ask about cosplay in a lolita thread

>>10583975
*scratches head*
back to the easy stuff I know, like helping in an autistic daycare center or solving differential equations

Also... why is no one here over 35?

>>10583989
Is this supposed to be an attempt at a humble brag?

>>10583942
I know real life sex=/=porn, but what people do in real life is definitely influenced by what they’ve seen in porn, and I have to wonder if Japan’s unbelievably bad output is part of the reason for their low birth rate and also the tendency I’ve noticed in Japanese social media and literature for women to say they hate sex and never want to do it.

>>10581473
nta but I was around 15 when I started coming here. I had no clue everyone else here was so much older. Now 21

how do you report a post? I never reported one before but I want to report one to know what it feels like to get someone BANNED

>>10584010
That's because this website came up in 2004. I've been here since I was 14. The majority of us who was early to the party are old AF.

>>10584016
Just post one girl a lot, you'll get banned. The janitors are rabid fucks now. Who knew, considering Miyu self posted herself the entire time she was a mod.

why are you here? you deserve better than this hellsite

>>10584082
Bruh. People of all ages and backgrounds have always used 4chan, including some pretty high up/famous people. They just never 'outed' themselves fully, but there have been posts.

>>10583989
Just skimmed and saw 4 people over 35.

There's actually a surprising number of people over 35 into lolita. My guess is there's not many on /cgl/ since... well, it's /cgl/.

>>10584056
I like how there's one board of angry women on this site among dozens of boards full of angry men, yet y'all still like to make fun of us for being ~damaged~. At least us gulls get laid, closest thing you chan scrotes can get to interaction with women is your amusing attempt at ~triggering~ us like a school boy pulling a girl's pigtails.

BTW protip, if you really wanna successfully trigger us, just pretend to be an ita and say shit like "Why would I spend so much money on brand when I can sew something better myself?" That will get a much frothier reaction.

No...

Lolita was picked because of the iteration of 'l'. It's not racist. I mean, it was literally brought up among the first to use the word 'lolita', and the pronunciation of 'L' was what led them to like the 'wordplay'. A lot of names in Japan, and other Asian countries, are picked based off wordplay.

It did come from the book, but it was picked because of the way it was pronounced, it sounded like 'Rococo', but far less threatening without that 'R' in it. It was also European, and sounded fancy.

Remember that 'lolita' at the time wasn't a name for a book about pedophilia.

It was a commonplace nickname that you would called any woman named 'Dolores' in their twenties to early thirties.

The name of a woman who would wear fancy dresses.

It also happened to be one of the most prominent books with a European-sounding name that got translated in Japanese.

You all didn't even associate 'Lolita' with pedophilia until that movie was made in 1997. By then, the name Dolores and the nickname 'Lolita' were no longer commonplace, and people had forgotten that 'Lolita' meant Dolores. When the movie came out, Lolita became 'pedophilia'.

When the book came out, there were a fuck ton of people you'd call 'Lolita'.

The word in the book for a 'young girl' is nymphet, not Lolita. At the time, no one though 'Lolita' mean pedophilia.

>>10583520

>>10583553
He likely doesn't... or she, whatever. No, it was picked from the book, but the person who used it originally admitted he'd never actually read the book. He just knew more or less it was about a 'young woman', it sounded European, and the pronunciation reminded him of 'Rococo' which was what the dresses resembled.

He saw the book sitting on display at a bookstore, and picked the name without even reading the contents, yes. He didn't know what the book was about until after the name caught on, but decided it really didn't matter because the reasons still fit.

>>10584168
Addition, because I feel something might be lost in explanation. 'R' and 'L' when translated from English to Japanese in a literal sense have almost identical sounds.

To an English speaking person, Rococo and Lolita don't sound the same outside both having 3 syllables.

To a native Japanese speaker in the 80's, Lolita and Rococo would sound quite similar to one another spoken verbally.

>>10584172
no they wouldn't.

>>10580941
If a minor showed up to a meetup, I don't see a reason to treat them differently to anyone else there? There's not really any aspect of lolita fashion or the culture that would implore you to treat minors who are into it as a separate entity.

>>10584191
who the fuck wants to hang out with minors?

24, also browsed here in my teens but it was (or felt) way worse back then and i pulled out when i felt like i was becoming a worse person. i browse now because i can filter out the worst of it most of the time and focus on the helpful threads, ita threads are fun too. fb groups feel too hug box in a way where everyone has to walk on eggshells because the gentlest concrit or non confrontational difference in opinion could start a fucking fire

>>10584193
People go to meetups because they want to meet people who share their interest, not because they want to meet people of specific age range. There's usually an automatic assumption that everyone (or most people) there will be an adult which, again, is an assumption, and unless people make it clear that they specifically want an adult-only environment/no minors present, you can expect a minor to be there every so often. The same goes for conventions and such. Unless adults specify that they want to associate only with other adults, expect minors (I've found that minors tend to stick with each other anyway, if there's more than a few of them.)

16/17 might be comparatively younger than other members in a comm, but in the context of hanging out because you all happen to like the same fashion style (of which there's no sexual association or sexual context) I don't see how it's drastically different from an 18/19 year old. If a minor came up and talked to me I'd treat the same as I'd treat any other stranger who did

>>10580941
I could see it being awkward if maybe the comm had a tendency to have adult discussions. I could also see it being awkward in that when someone is underage, at least in my state & country, those attending them over 18 end up responsible as the 'guardian' if anything were to happen to them.

>>10584191
I mean, yeah, I do. When you are over 18, and you are around people underage, you do have a sort of decorum to follow starting with you have to watch what you say.

I get the argument most teenagers already know what you're talking about or doing, but that doesn't make it appropriate for adults to talk about those things.

I suppose it could be different depending on where you are though. In some places, 16 is treated legally as an adult so it depends.

>>10584193
Also, same. As a minor, I had no real interest hanging out or talking with adults because we quite frankly didn't have much in common or relatable experiences to discuss. It kind of works in reverse now. Inappropriate discussions aside, I mean talking about work and small talk. What interest does any teen have in adult life and vise-versa?

Otherwise, I see no issue with all ages groups, but I can see why adults wouldn't want to be around minors whether feeling they need to watch their discussion or liability issues.

I’m 25 on Sunday! Looking forward to a nice quiet day at home for me to have my quarter life crisis.

>>10584196
It can influence the direction a conversation or meeting goes though. For example, you might not all wanna' pile in a car to go on a sporadic outing because, yes, there's a teenager whom you may not want to pile in the car. You also may be hesitant to mention an idea because you don't want the person feeling 'left out'.

It also, like I said, can make things awkward if the discussion does veer a more adult route. Even if you're just talking about what's going on with spouses or a funny time 'that one night', it kind of becomes inappropriate to talk about in front of a teenager. You can get in trouble with the parents if the parents find out you were talking about sex or something in the presence of their teen.

I get a comm being about the fashion, but the problem is what discussed at the meets. It's not as if everyone is just sitting around talking about fashion alone for hours. Sure, fashion is the subject of the house, but not the sole conversation topic.

The other issue with people being underage is not just decorum, but the fact we're not all a bunch of heartless, child-hating harpies irrespective of if we want children or not.

A lot of people, when even a teenager is present, it kind of overshadows a 'good time' because it's something on the back of your mind that's hard to explain. No, you're not 'focused' on it because chances are they'll be fine, but in the back of your mind is shit like, "Is the teen still present?" "Fuck, I hope she comes back from the bathroom." "I hope she doesn't wreck on the way home." "I hope her mom or dad comes to pick her up on time, I don't feel comfortable leaving until I make sure someone picks her up."

There's... a sort of parental mode that clicks with a lot of people when it comes to someone underage both just instinct and society when you live in areas where that 'guardian' law is present.

Some adults just don't like teens present because teenagers are still 'kids', and some adults don't want to feel their 'parental mode' kick in at a meet.

It's not the teen's fault we have that as adults.

>>10584205

>Pedoness aside, older men go after younger women becayse they're easier to manipulate and genuinely will put up with way more bullshit. Their self-worth is typically lower and they haven't yet realized that no man is better than a shitty man, so they're more willing to settle for garbage.
Over-the-wall cat lady bitch hands typed this post.

Having multiple failed relationships turns people into stuck up assholes. There are way more inexperienced autistic older men that dont want to deal with a catty bitch who couldn't make it work with 5+ previous men, and the reverse is extremely rare since autism in women is extremely rare. Go ahead, call me a misogynist or a scrote or a pedo, it doesn't change the truth of this day and age.

>>10584397
I'm not angry, in fact I'm doing pretty good emotionally since I didn't waste time settling for a stuck-up bitch like most my age did. I'm just spreading the truth.

People who have multiple failed relationships always turn into assholes (that's true for men too, but mentioning women affected by this is more relevant to what I'm trying to say).

>>10583455
99% of the people who say shit like this will at the same time think menstruation, pregnancy and post-childbirth bodies are "disgusting."

>>10584406
What's your point? Pissing, shitting, and farting are disgusting. Old men's bodies are disgusting.

>>10584406
This. The same reasons they think older women are gross tend to be changes in body and appearance brought on by physical and mental stressors caused by having kids and raising a family, which these people are obsessed with but too insufferable to ever actually obtain anyway because responsible women who want to raise children well would never be stupid enough to marry and breed with a giant manbaby like that.

>>10584407

Or maybe we just want a giant womanbaby who we can actually relate to instead of someone who forms preconceived notions about men from past failed relationships? Maybe some of us don't like kids a d just want a soul mate/FWB?
>>10584410
>If you want to have a biologically produced nuclear family
I don't. Kids of the future are royally fucked.

>>10584411

If you don't want kids and just want to fuck or date a barely legal tweenager, it's in poor taste but not illegal, so go for it I guess? Anons were just pointing out the hypocrisy of the incel types who claim to want a family and shit but find the factors that go into creating one gross.

My bf is "immature" in some ways as am I, but we don't want kids and are adults where it matters (bills). None of that requires trying to date someone whose brains haven't finished growing yet to achieve though.

But once those people who haven't matured finally do end up with a fully formed frontal lobe, they likely won't want to be with someone significantly older than them and in a completely different place in life, and will break up with you. And then you move on to the next girl and it happens again, because kids grow up and people change a lot when they are really young. If your goal is to have fewer partners and for your partner to as well to reduce being jaded as someone said, then you should look for long term compatibility, not virginal pussy.

Really most men who are into the youngest possible girls want to fuck younguns or virgins is because they are either legit pedos or want to reduce the chance women have another dick to compare to theirs cause they're insecure. Or they're legit also children which is why they're attracted to 16 year olds.

>>10584422
Harder to reply to this one because I actually agree with alot of it.

I guess I just get annoyed when gulls on here treat every single, virginal man like he's an incel; some of us are just a little autistic/weird and don't "fit in".

For someone with such a chip on their shoulder about women’s “preconceived notions about men”, you sure are making an awful lot of baseless assumptions about women. Perhaps you should look into mgtow and leave women alone altogether

>>10584440
I totally get that. The reality is there are just so many of those shitty people on 4chan and in many nerdy/hobby communities that we've come across them a lot and are less likely to give other people the benefit of the doubt on the internet. Cgl in particular is hard because even I often find myself assuming the worst intentions of posters of both genders after years of being used to all the salt and pettiness.

>>10584443
Also his claim autism in women is extremely rare is false. Women are very frequently just not diagnosed because autism has been stereotyped as a male condition or just socialized/infantilized in such a way that unless you have frequent meltdowns or are often nonverbal, etc., most people just see autistic women as "quirky"

uh... wrong. maybe, if that person is the reason the relationship failed and never learns from their mistakes. but usually there's a lot to learn from having a couple bad runs.

Anon... do you expect some virginal lady is just gonna' hop right up to be your friend with benefits? Most who do the FWB do so because they've had failed relationships, and don't want to deal with trying one over at the moment.

The FWB is definitely not the kind of soul mate you're looking for. I'm not even downing you by saying this. I'm just saying to actually look at what you're typing.

>5+ previous men.
Setting your standards low, ain't you? Most date 5 men by the middle of their high school career much less once you get to college age.

No, you're just confused by appearances and for some reason think that young women don't have lives. 5 is a low number for a lot of high school seniors much less adults.

Again, I'm not trying to down on you. I'm just asking are you really sure about reality, or are you confused by a pretty, young face.

Being with that many doesn't make people invaluable, but it is commonplace these days to be with that many. I'm not talking about '4chan anime sluts'... I'm talking about the normal people wearing Crocs with subtle highlights in their long hair.

And no response to anyone in particular, but I get really disturbed reading input from a lot of men online because, god damn, if they heard normal high school girls' private conversations much less college age...

Jesus, I worry the men would have a freaking brain aneurysm trying to process what they'd hear. It isn't a healthy mindset, and its a mindset that sets a lot of men up for failure.

No, they don't have to settle for 'catty, old bitches', but a little realism would be nice.

>>10584917
The only people who lose in misogyny no matter what are the men, and they need better role models. Where those role models are? Fuck if I know, but they need them.

>>10584988
They don't exist. Just look at Japan, where women have altogether opted out of relationships with men due to their misogyny. The men would rather double down on their sexism than try to fix their country. The good news is that they're taking themselves out of the gene pool.

30- 31 this year. Not digging it. Last of my 20s got wasted on 2020.

>>10585071
Yo saaaaame

>>10584981
Is this really the case? Based on myself and a lot of people I know 5 isn't a strange amount but it's not particularly low either. I'm 24 and have dated 3 men including my current partner and I thought that was pretty normal.

>>10584982
You're seeing the male equivalent of those conversations. Welcome to realism.
