One of the vulnerabilities of being of teen is exactly this. You *feel* like an adult, and having real adults treat you like one of their own is intoxicating. But anyone >25 can see how immature a teen is. Men who say they can't tell are admiting that they mainly talk to women to manipulate them.- when i was a 16yo girl i thought i was an adult. coaching 12-17yo girls as a 28yo really hammered home how much i was wrong about being an adult at 16 and how obvious it is to actual adults that a 16yo is not an adult. if they say they cannot tell they are lying because they are a creep.
