I think there is nothing wrong with finding 14-17 year old girls sexually attractive, and the age of consent should universally be 15 or 16. CMV.

Throwaway here because I feel like a disgusting creep. But I really find high school aged girls sexually attractive. If it were legal, I wouldn't have a moral problem with engaging in consensual sex with a 15 or 16 year old girl. No, I have never looked up jailbait shit, I would never think of touching a girl below the age of 18. I am fully aware that society frowns upon being attracted to minor teenage girls. I would never think about acting on my impulses unless it were legal and socially acceptable. 

My reasoning is, biologically, we are wired to find young women sexually attractive because they have just entered the stage where they are capable of becoming pregnant and their bodies have developed to highlight their physical capabilities to birth and take care of a child (wide hips, bigger breasts). It seems entirely arbitrary to set the age of consent at 18. Why do we trust a 16 year old girl more with a car than with her own body? And what difference does it make if a 16 year old girl has sex with a 16 year old guy, a 26 year old guy or a 66 year old guy? 

Am I really a pedophile for thinking this? Please change my view.

Your second sentence rebuts your first; we trust her with her own body, we just don't trust other people's intentions toward it. 

In general, we as a society don't approve of sexual relationships that involve a power imbalance. Your boss isn't supposed to try to sleep with you, no matter how old either of you are. Professors aren't supposed to sleep with their students, even though their students are of legal age.

There is a built-in power imbalance between teenagers and adults that doesn't exist between two 16 year olds. If a 26 year old man wants to sleep with a 16 year old girl (or visa versa but I'll stick with the genders you used), he is much more likely than her to have a car. He is almost certainly financially independent and has disposable income. She almost certainly is not financially independent and likely has very little disposable income. He can take her out to an expensive restaurant and drop $200 a week on jewelry for her. He has legal access to alcohol, which he can illegally provide to her. He also has more life experiences than her, and doesn't have a brain flooded with crazyness-inducing hormones. He has methods and means of manipulating her into making decisions against her best interests that a younger person does not have access to. There is a massive power imbalance here, and that's why we as a society frown on it.
