Following 16yo

[LuannC]

Social media following not literally stalking!
Thought this was a bit strange, someone I follow on social media is following a 16 year old girl, Shes a music artist maybe Spanish not sure. But the man in question who followers her does not understand Spanish and isn't that big on music, no interest in singers, more of the people who produce and compose music. The ma. Has recently started to follow and like a number of models pics etc. A lot of bikini, boobs and bum pics. This girl is 16 though wearing a bikini. The post he has liked is not even of the girl singing. Aibu? Should I be a Bit creeped out?

Sounds pretty creepy to me..

Do you know this person in RL or just social media? Are you surprised there are creeps online?

Maybe it’s a little creepy, but he’s not doing any harm, is he?

You're following someone on social media as they follow someone else...

What an odd thing to be concerned about. Maybe he is following her because he thinks she is attractive, but “following” on Twitter isn’t “following” in real life. The girl obviously wants fans.

Well this is the age of social media. If everyone is getting their boobs and bums out on public profiles then they must know that anyone can see them. He's not committing a crime and I don't really think it's a big deal

I know the man in RL in his 40s and liking a 16yo pics is a bit weird considering he doesn't know them at all

Well he’s obviously following her for the fact he finds her attractive. He won’t be the only 40+ man in her followers so I’m not sure why you’re so alarmed. I think a lot of men in general like to look at younger women on social media regardless of whether they’re 16/18/21 etc.

So he thinks she’s attractive. Hardly the crime of the century, is it?
