I think it's more of an American culture thing. I was living in Austria with this co-living community. The lady hosting me had 3 kids, ages 3-10. Because I grew up in the US I actively avoided interacting with them, which the host found weird, as she was probably hoping I would at least teach the kids something.
One time I stumbled upon a playground in Seoul, looking for a place to do some calisthenics. It was completely empty. I made an Instagram story captioned 'found a gym.' Two friends immediately joked 'be careful, don't get arrested.'
Then again I do think there's gotta to be some sort of underlying tension between a straight man and a female of childbearing age, no matter how platonic the relationship. In the US we automatically assume pederasty or grooming.

This is not inevitable. That's not an every man thing, that's a you thing. I mean that kindly, as a kindly wake up.
- cko 4y agoReally? I thought that was the reason fathers are less cuddly/affectionate with their daughters as they grow older.
- rendall 4y agoIf true, let's observe that parents and children mutually stop cuddling as they get older. Fathers and sons, mothers and daughters. Whatever the reason, I think sexual tension makes the least sense.
