I grew up in the 90's and I remember nobody being okay with creepy 40 year old guys trying to hit on high school girls.

Fucking right? The whole time reading that I was like what goddamned parallel universe did she grow up in?

The rules about age were hazier back in the day but a guy picking up high schoolers after high school has been a loser signifier for a long time. It's a pop culture thing It's such a prevalent sentiment. It happens of course but it's not socially celebrated. No television sitcom in the last 50 years would have a teenage girl start dating an older man and have it not be part of a "Very Special Episode" about predation or drugs or just listening to your parents.

It's still such a common trope it hurts too. Losers going to high school football games to prey on literal children. Or they meet them at their jobs.

Now they supply their underaged girlfriends weed and xanax or oxycodone.
