Poll: Is liking petite girls the same as pedophilia?

[DrgoFx]

I'm unsure if it works the other way around, but I'm curious. If you are sexually attract to petite girls, are you into pedophilia as well? I don't think so because it's just being attracted to a mature girl that happens to look fairly young. I don't think it means the person has interest in younger women, but perhaps just likes a slender, or "cuter" form...Just my opinion. I wouldn't say I have a thing for it, but I wouldn't be turned away by it...

Edit: Quick clarification, I was sure it meant small but the class decided on young as the definition instead. So for the sake of this thread, go by both? Is it wrong to be sexually attracted to a woman that looks younger than she really is? Not the 40 year old look 20 something, though.

Not really... Unless you're calling my sister's boyfriend a pedophile.

I thought it was quite normal to like petite woman, as normal as liking eye colour.

That's what I think...The reason I ask is because we had this topic in "Debate Class" today. The girls said it is, and me and one other guy said it wasn't.

If you like them because they look like they're underage then there is a problem. If you like them because you like them, it's fine. Simples.

No. Petite girls can't help being petite, it's just their body shapes. Some people just prefer slender girls.
Being attracted to a child is paedophilia. Being attracted to a teen/young adult/adult who looks younger is not.

No they aren't the same thing, prepubescent girls aren't simply scaled down versions of adult women, they have their own unique set of proportions (large head and eyes, lack of any breasts, stubby arms and legs) as well as childish personality traits which pedophiles are specifically attracted to.

...so those girls are basically saying any girl/woman who happens to be petite should never have a boyfriend as they will clearly be a paedophile? Are they all 6' huge breasted amazons or something? Also "younger women"...like 18-24 say? Being attracted to them is like paedophilia? Who in the world would say that?

As you may have guessed my answer is no. Being attracted to pre pubescent children is paedophilia, that is it.

This.

My fiancee is about 5 foot 2 inches.

You wouldn't confuse her for a child though.

It's not their fault being petite and slamming the big ol' "pedo" label on their boyfriends is pretty rude, if anything.
By definition, nope, it's not pedophilia at all.

And boom. That man ninja'd me. Yes, it's that simple - do you like them because you are a pedophile or because you're not? That's the essential question. My ex-flatmate's girlfriend (also my ex-flatmate) was petite. He didn't leer over the children who played in the park 10 metres away from our house, though. Never expressed any interest in them. He liked more mature women, even.

Going by her logic, liking tall people makes you attracted to old people. Flawless logic.

Everyone pretty much answered what I had to say...but no it's not

Our decision wasn't short or tall. In our statement, if a 20-something year old looks like she's 15, she's petite. It has nothing to do with height, but that could help. That was our argument. For me, however, I still see nothing wrong with liking that...You're liking a mature woman that just happens to be more slender than average...Personally, I like my women to have a bit of meat to them but whatever floats your boat as the saying goes.

 

[Qitz]

I don't see how that could be an actual thought.

That'd be like saying someone who was regular height but dating a midget was a pedo too.

 

[xmbts]

Is the girl young enough that it would be pedophilia? If not then no.

What do you think petite means?

It means small, not young.

If finding Peter Dinklage attractive is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Also, OP? "Petite" may not mean what you think it means.

Our debate wasn't really on SMALL, but young-looking. I mean we all agreed that the woman would be of legal, or accepting age but she didn't look like she was. That was we defined as petite. It's probably not the global definition, but it's what we went by.
