Olddaddy Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Just had a friend 67yo here in Australia this morning tell me this morning he had some problems on this meeting apps Tinder . Apparently he was conversing with what he thought was a 17yo guy , and the person had asked him to send naked pics(which he didn't and lucky ) but what he thought was the 17yo turned out to be a overseas American church group apparently looking for pedophiles . Now it seems they realised the age of consent in Australia is 16yo and got angry ( according to him ) and somehow sent him links of the church hunting group and told him to keep off the apps they are going to police etc etc which didn't happen So I heard this also going in in the Philippines where you can be set up but for financial reasons Thankfully my fetish is Asian guys usually over 35 so it doesn't concern me . But ... This is where the Law is hypocrisy..Let me say this as I said to him...DO NOT when conversing with someone you meet on apps who is under 18 but consensual legal age eg 16 , Do NOt send any adult type pics , that is against the Law in sure even in your country ! The apps are being used by these usually fat middle-aged Karen women church women who don't like gay men If you follow the Law you cannot go wrong , trouble is most don't know the Law including these far right church groups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterRS Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 It has been said quite a few times before on this forum, if you ae chatting on an app, before you even consider meeting the guy check that the photos are real. Ask him to go on a live video feed for at least a few seconds. It's not foolproof, but it weeds out a lot of poseurs.

Forget about legal niceties Tinder is not some stamp collecting club or knitting tips site. In such a case I'd side with Karens alvnv and Mavica 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoomomancs Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 My understanding of the law in the UK is that it's illegal to send or possess or download indecent photos of anyone under 18, even if it's two 17 year olds exchanging selfies. And also illegal to pay anyone aged 16 to 18 for sex, though the age of consent is 16 for all, unless one person is in a position of responsibility.

Seems your Law is the same as Australian Law , so that's where it gets complicated for some and that's where I see people being arrested for this oversight or whatever you call it ,where they are chatting to these 16 or 17yo people on these apps arranging to meet for sex ( non paid ) which is legal ,but this is where they go wrong AND start sending naked pics etc that's the illegal part .

Even at your age....you're not 18 nor 25, nor 35.....🤨 Another expression.... "look at yourself in the mirror" 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
