Ok...At this point its wrong. a 16 year old doesnt know enough to date a 25 year old. The 25 year old is in a totally diffrent place in his life then the 16 year old. She will be way to niave, and do something she will deff regret. No if she was a little older..meh...when he is 59 and she is 50..no one will care.

if a 25yr old came sniffing around my daughter when she was 16yrs old.... the rest of his life would be spent in a wheelchair.

he has been my friend since 5th grade :(
SO? Are you going to be a blind LOYAL friend or one who does the right thing?
Tell him to drop her or you'll have to drop him. If they're boinking , you will be an acomplice to statuatory rape. One step removed from pervdom yourself.

Grow a set and stand up. For once.

I'm 18 and my gf is 16, although I like to make the point that she's 16 and half. I'm sorry, but your friend is just messed up; I don't think that girl is thinking too straight either.

I think it's not right. If she were 17, it'd be more boarderline, and at 18, do whatever you want, but 16 ehhh. He really needs to set his standards higher, I don't care how hot this 16 year old chick is, she's still 16 and he needs to walk away for a year or two.

Actually, I think the Cops would take KarenMire's side after having a good laugh at the guy lying on the ground.

?? Bro if you are 25 and you need to pick up 16 year old girls I would be doing you a FAVOR by turning you in. Seriously grow a set and meet girls closer to your own age.

Who knows what the quality of their relationship is. Perhaps they are soul mates. At 16, you are old enough to decide who you want to fvck.

SOME 16 year olds might be fine, and some might not be. I knew 16 year old girls who would be the ones taking advantage in this relationship, and I know 25 year old girls now who really have trouble.

The thing is, at that age, it's more likely than not that you don't know what the hell you are doing. Which is fine if the only people you are boffing are your age, but when it's people 9 years old (especially THOSE 9 years), the teenger could be taken advantage of. Does that mean it has to be that way? I suppose not, but that's the problem with broad rules like this. Maybe that particular couple is fine, but I doubt that would be the case most of the time.

I don't find anything wrong with 16-year-old dating a 25-year-old woman. (Why a 25-year-old woman would want to date a 16-year-old kid is another story.) But a 25-year-old guy dating a 16-year-old girl is just weird.

Only if someone gets caught.

and at the end of the day.... some things are just worth going to jail for.

STFU and mind your own business. If it's consentual, who fscking cares?!?

At 16, you're MORE than able to make your own decisions, etc. The puritian sex laws in this country are fscked up.

BTW, 16 is legal age of consent in many states. In some, it is 14. So stick that in your pipe and smoke it, you bunch of overreactive retards.

I am curious, what do you all think of the cultures that have women hitched at 12?

Jeebus. I was 20 and my ex was 16 when we met. We were happy, and we were together for 4 years. That would've been just great if some jackass that didn't know what was going on called the cops on us. I mean.. the hell? Maybe if the 16 year old is mentally retarded or something.

Otherwise, what the hell is the problem? Again.. if it's consentual, it doesen't matter! It is none of your business. If her parents have a problem with it, let them be the ones to press charges.. You don't know whats going on, or how they feel..

People put WAY too much significance into the number we call age. As if you magically become cogent at 18. :roll:

I think he is just taking what he can get personally, but he thinks that dating someone still in high school is ok. Anybody else find this wrong?

This doesnt sound unusual to me. It just sounds like Louisiana.

To the OP...
Your friend is, quite frankly, a fvcking idiot. Its one thing to play with fire and screw a 16 y/o when you 18, but this guy is dousing himself in gas and looking for matches. He's gonna wind up with his ass in the klink REAL soon if he aint careful.


I agree. I'm all for dating younger women, no matter the age diff, EXCEPT, when that dating will land you in the Federal PMITA Prison. :Q

I believe that in the cultures where women get hitched at age 12 it's alright for them. Because in their country and culture, they mature differently due to the environment they're in. However in a lot of the other countries where women get married later, because they've grown up in a different environment they usually are more immature and not ready for marriage.

I think it's all relative. To each person their own, however you should perhaps evaluate the situation and perhaps hang out or speak with the 16 year old girl yourself before smacking your friend upside the head for dating her. Perhaps she is more mature than most girls her age ... and perhaps your friend really is ... too immature for his age. In most cases the girls not ready for that sort of relationship or what not ... but each case is different like I said ... so you need to see it for yourself than basing it on what a bunch of people on a forum say.

You make some good points, and I agree about the "maturity" and "ready" points. However, you must live within the legal constraints of the society/nation you're in. In most states in the US, 16 is indeed jailbait. More and more these days, parents and nosy courts are interfering in matters of the heart...or crotch, depending on your POV.

Years ago (many) I was 15 and my GF was 15. We made mother nature proud...thousands of times. :D These days, my 15 year old butt would be locked up. Do I think that's BS? My opinion doesn't really matter if I'm in jail, now does it?

Not according to the law. I'm sensing that you may be in a similar situation? While at 16 you are physically capable of sexual intercourse, a LOT of girls still aren't ready. That's why dating in high school was always so much drama (or maybe you didn't date in high school?) a 25 year old has had a LOT more time to figure things out than a 16 year old, and likely wants different things.
