Although recently graduated bachelors can become professors (at least in my country), university professors usually have a lot of experience in the area and, therefore, are much older than the students.
I was a couple years late attending traditional university where the undergrads are age 19-23ish... and I was there from age 25 to 28. Even with that small of an age gap I was pretty squicked out by the difference in maturity levels between myself and the average student there.
I was a social worker right out of uni, I worked with sex offenders about to reenter society after their sentence ....this comment sent me because I used to hear it ALL the time. It was such a common accountability dodge and minimization technique we had a whole workshop on how to respond.
On one hand, most university students are adults. On the other hand, not only the professors are much older (which is a big deal if the younger party is a "new" adult) but there's also some "domination" dynamic going on.
I'm not a university lecturer but I teach all types of people (including university students and other young adults. and adults my age and older) and I don't think about the attractiveness of any of my students. that's not why they're there and it's not why I'm there (also anyone under 25 is like a child to me). I can tell a few of my coworkers think about students in that way from things they say and it's always so disappointing that those people are allowed to continue working in this kind of job.
Also, the author of the meme ignores the difference between finding someone pretty/beautiful/handsome and wanting to engage in sex with said someone. Actually, the mindset is too prevalent, to the point a lot of men find it gay to find another man handsome.
Why do they assume/know their wives are ugly? ... i know that this is not the main focus of the post ... it's just what my brain latched onto. Also when are these people going to stop age shaming women?
... and then there's their obsession in dating women straight out of highschool ... which leaves a bad taste in my mouth š¤¢.
My dad (not a good person) said something a couple of times along the lines of 'no matter how old I get, the students stay the same age' and it creeped me out
Oh that like creepy phrase of āI love high school graduates cause no matter how much older I get they stay the same ageā? Itās disgusting to have such a mindset imo
Knew a professor who taught a class alongside his wife. They actually seem to have a good relationship. Not hard to see why. They both have this sort of smug demeanor to them that's ever so slightly annoying to me, and really anal about certain things. They go well together, as bad as that is for everyone who has to put up with them.
(husband of the best selling mid 20th century author Shirley Jackson, who taught on and off at Bennington College. They had an open relationship, which probably should not have gotten to the point of marriage considering that he didn't want to be monogamous and she really didn't like polyamory ā and that's besides the fact that he kind of treated her like garbage -and there were a number of Bennington girls he hooked up with immediately after they were no longer in his class. Jackson was not conventionally attractive, so I wouldn't be surprised if he thought something like this at least once in his scummy life.)

u/Crystal_Snow_Flakes, there weren't enough votes to determine the quality of your post...
As a university lecturer... Ew.
I manage students. Some pretty attractive, I'm sure. Yuck, they're so much closer to children.
Yeah, these kids were born after I graduated high school.

As a PhD researcher who has done some teaching. Also big ew.

Went to college after the military. Only 5-6 years older than my peers but I felt like billy madison.
Ew, but predatory professors have been a continual problem.
Usually supervisee grad-students rather than random undergrads in a lecture hall though.
Yes, sadly predators like to get into positions of power like teaching, nursing, policing etc.
no one is ashamed or scared of sharing creepy and pedophilia-adjacent stuff on the internet š my goodness
Because they bend over backwards to convince themselves it isnāt pedophilia, therefore they donāt need to be ashamed. Itās deeply messed up.
UM ACKSHUALLY IT'S NOT PEDOPHILIA IT'S EPHEBOPHILIA

that's true.

They are being presidential

I simply married someone I like
Why didn't these people do that
WOKE! YOU'RE WOKE! WOKIST TRYING TO FORCE ME TO BE WOKE!/s
Im hoping this is a delulu university boy who doesn't realize that past your mid 20's uni girls basically look like theyre 12.
I met someone who told me they were 19 and I was like awww you're a lil baby adult! And nothing is less sexy than babies unless you have a big issue
Yeah and showing this with a convicted rapist is A+.
Wait, he's a convicted rapist?!
Yep. Sentenced to 6, served 3.

Thank god my professors think of us as literal children instead of asā¦whatever this is
Jesus Christ.............
And the person they used for this meme is a convicted rapist.

Well in town it was well known when they got home at night their fat and psychopathic wives would thrash them within inches of their lives!
Aaaaaaaaaaaahh Oooooooooooooo!
At least the teachers in the Wall didn't try to date kids š
As a teacher, first of all ew and second of all EW.

Lol, no. They may be able to vote, but they're children and anyone who has graded one of their braindead essays knows this.
