If you don't do that, it simply means: A) Google/Guess how much y an x can do B) Google/Guess how much total y you need to do y to z C) Divide Answer from B by Answer from A D) Get really large number | ||

I occasionally play Overwatch with a buddy and his 16 year old sister. She recently met a 29 year old professional player who she's a big fan of, and they started hanging out a lot. Now they play together sometimes pretty much all day (8-10+ hours), generally just the two of them, in OW and WoW. He asked her if she was going to E3 and stuff like that. My buddy and I are arguing whether that seems healthy. Is a 16 year old hanging out online with a 29 year old for long hours cause for concern or nah? + Show Spoiler + Poll: Is it cause for concern? Maybe he has bad intentions, keep an eye on it (6) Probably not (4) Yes, he's definitely a creep (3) Not at all (0) 13 total votes Your vote: Is it cause for concern? (Vote): Yes, he's definitely a creep | ||

Does he know that she is 16? How do they talk to each other? Is it mentor + pupil, two friends, flirting? Is he in a relationship or not? Is she really gullible or not? Does she think he is creepy? (probably not, since she continues to interact with him) What are her intentions towards him? Shouldn't she be doing other stuff like school? | ||

Shouldn't she be doing other stuff like school? -He knows she's 16 -I have no idea how they talk to each other, I don't really talk to either. She used to be flirty with me though, until she got tired of me not responding to it. -I have no idea about his relationship status -She's not particularly gullible. She's very starstruck though and has a very high opinion of him. -She thinks he's super nice | ||

If he is WTF, pretty sure most women would call that "emotional cheating" If hes not he wants the same as if not. At 16 everyone is gullible at least compared to what they will be as they get older> She probably loves him, the question is does she admit it. Last one is very legit! I don't think it is implied that he knows that she is 16. If they only know each other online, there is a realistic chance that she just told him that she is 22 or whatever. (I have obviously no idea if she did something like that, but it is definitively not impossible) If she loves him, the situation is almost certainly not gonna end good. Because that kind of relationship is just not gonna last in almost all cases. And i disagree that the only reason that males communicate with females is to have sex. | ||

(Vote): Yes, he's definitely a creep What do you mean by "cause for concern"? It's definitely inappropriate, but they're both old enough to understand the inappropriateness of their actions. I don't know what could be reasonably done about it | ||

I don't even understand why are people in this age forced to go through mostly pointless middle education which basically just does nothing but stall until they are considered old enough for anything useful. A couple of centuries ago this was the prime time of life and now suddenly those people are considered children? Couple centuries ago female prime time of life meant that they could have kids and nothing else. They weren't considered adult in the sense that they were mature enough to understand the consequences of their actions, that's a 20th century 'invention'. Teenage boys also had very little freedom despite being considered 'adult', they couldn't do anything important without their father's approval (or death). | ||
