Yeah, but it didn’t start at 18 did it. A number of women hit on me when I was under 18 and no one would think anything of it. We are groomed into it starting with calling 6 year old boys handsome young men and he’s a cute kid.
“Grooming” to me always implied the actions of an individual, with the intent of generating a sexual relationship with that one person. It’s got a level of intent that the lady at the grocery store calling me a “handsome young man” and then never seeing me again doesn’t have.
Well grooming doesn’t have to be an individual, and it doesn’t have to be sexual. Kids are groomed in school to go to college. The word means to train/prepare for. Training someone for something can be good thing or a bad thing. Or anything in between.
I’m a guy and when I was 18 I got a lot of interest from women in their 40s. Sexual attraction is just natural.

Lots and lots of people would think plenty about an older woman coming onto a minor.
Is it really grooming if it’s just how everyone in society acts?
Yes.

It doesn’t really matter what it is to you when it has a hard and established definition.
Nothing you say matters to me though, and thanks to solipsism, that’s all that matters!
Ok. Feel better?

Sure, but usually in these types of conversations people use “grooming” in a much more specific (and negative) connotation
