Depends on the 16 yr old. I know a couple of em who are more mature than most 25 yr old women.
Think abt it. if they actyally stick together by the time he is 50 she will be 41 which is nothign out of the world.
Am not too sure why this is so scandalous. This happens all the time.

Why, because you say so?
Because the two of them made a consentual choice that you dont agree with?
Because of arbitrary laws that the government has passed?
If the age of consent was 10 instead of 16-18 would you still think he was a LOSER?
i agree thats why i called the hypocrite card so early in this thread.. casue eveyrone knows
old guys with hot younger women happens every single day and is not only accecpted but encouraged..
You have to put the number somewhere. Personally, I think that the number should be 18 everywhere because up until that point parents are legally responsible for their children unless said children are emancipated.
If the age of consent was 10 would you be out banging 8 year olds and complaining about the "arbitrary laws"?
Major problem. Plus she will graduate high school and want to move on to college. Might as well get out and find someone who is at the same point in their lives.
Do people not realize that it's not the strict age difference of 9 years that is the problem? Sure, 25 and 34, not terrible, 41 and 50, nothing terrible (except for the fact that the older person will most likely fall into health problems sooner and possibly restrict the little activity the younger one has left in his/her life - especially true when the older person is male). It's not the 9 year difference between 16 and 25, it's the fact that this girl is 16. There is just too much that a 16 year old hasn't experienced and a 25 year old has to make their relationship at all feasible.
I still stick by my statement that it depends more upon the maturity of the person and not age. Hell I know 40 year olds who act like high school kids.
As long as this dude isnt the kind who goes around looking for 16 year olds and he actually met and they connected it all good.
age of consent is 16 here for males and females, therefore everythign's legal (not sure about buggery, though). Why not let her decide, or are you all much wiser than her because you're a couple of years older?
yah that 25 year old has so much more experience.. what does the avereage 25 year old have on a 16 year old?
4+ years of smoking pot and drinking at college parties while playing WoW and BF2...
wow big gap there..
It is a little disturbing, but I have heard of cases of this happening with some of my friends who are girls. Not a big deal unless sex comes into the picture.
But it begs the question as to why the 25 year old can only find someone of the same amturity level to hang out with with 16 year olds.
I have never heard that before.How old are you outta curiosity? Let me tell you what experience I've gained since I was 16. College with a major and 3 minors, 2 jobs, MCATs, applying to med schools, being of legal age and going to bars, meeting tons of new people of different backgrounds, traveling to europe, learning more about myself, running a student organization, teaching classes, being responsible for the rent, car payments, Internet bills, etc. You know what, that's enough, and I'm only 21, give me another 4 years. If you honestly believe that the AVERAGE 25 year old has done nothing but smoke pot and play video games you've got a seriously flawed view of the world.
You obviously didnt read my post before this one.
Ill say it again.
Rape is rape, consent is consent, and parenting is parenting.
The literal age means nothing to me.
Thats so true. They had this great TV show where they show how exactly when a person turns 18 their body starts pumping the maturity hormones through the body which they didnt have an hour ago.
There is no litmus test to maturity. Again, in many parts of the world, marriage and childbirth/childrearing begins in the 10-12 year range. Would you take this right away from these people? I mean clearly if 16 isnt old enough for -anyone- to have sex then 10 is far far too young, correct? Am I misunderstanding something here?
Do you think women in their 30's with mental retardation have the ability and maturity to make choices about sex?
Ill say it once more, and highlight the most important parts -----
Rape is rape, consent is consent, and PARENTING is parenting. Its impossible to have one unless the others are NOT PRESENT.
Yeah, TOTALLY different if you're in high school and happen to be a bit older. I mean, if they're engaging in sexual relations then even the difference between 18 and 16 makes it illegal in most states (all?). That age gap. PHEW. No change buddy.
As you've said, you've been friends for quite some time...so you either need to wake his butt up, or disassociate yourself because there is MUCH more trouble ahead.
