its strange yeah, but its not totally out of the ordinary specially where i live.

i mean she's 16, and where i come from thats the legal age. (not that it matters where i live....... theres always a plethora of underaged mums, some not even 15 years old)

i dunno what the legal age is where you are though, but if its 16 then technically theres nothing wrong with it. her parents will probably think otherwise, less they dont care

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?


JAIL BAIT...!! :roll:

?? 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.

Oh bullsh!t...
if she was over 18 and he was 35 NOONE here would have a problem with it.
Age is NOTHING... once youre of the age of consent everthing is fair..
who are you people to say a damned thing...

what about me? Im 34 and I have been dating val who is 41.. and whats wrong with that?

yall need to get over yourselves about whats right and wrong... age gaps are not wrong.. hitting it before she can legally say yes or no thats another issue..

Personally I feel if you are dealing with a child who is underage and the law in your state says that it is a minor then you are breaking the law by dating or fraternizing/ or even romancing with a minor in this capacity. Having sex with a minor is a big no no... plain and simple.

Now as far as the subject of age gaps with adults where it is legal and consentual that is entirely a different matter. It is nobody's business, and no one has a right to judge anyone. If a girl or guy is of the legal age of 18 or 19 and chooses to have a relationship with someone who is 10, 20, 30, or 40 years their senior then more power to them. They may have in their own way found someone that they have a connection with. Despite the age difference. Everybody is different and relates to people differently. I have dated men in the past who were as much as 30 years older than me and were wonderful people who I truly enjoyed.

Variety is the spice of life!

and say what? if hes not having Intimate relations with her theres nothing wrong... if the parents have an issue with it they need to speak up.. otherwise people needs to back off.

dating is not illegal.. sex below age of consent is... and you would have to prove that..

and in some states 16 is the age of consent...

yes, there are some states where 16 is the legal age limit, and alot depends on the parents and their permission to in these type cases.

p.s. if this were any era in time other than the past 35 years or so, this wouldn't even warrant notice. it'd be normal

does that make this better? this is the dumbest reasoning i've read in the entire thread.

i don't think this warrants calling the cops (esp. since statutory rape is a massive offense), but this is definitely not right (as I would never, ever date anyone that young - i would explode from the lack of maturity)...

well as we have stated and posted above it depends on the state.. most states it is legal for them to have a full relationship at 16 some have stipulations on the age gap though...

what makes this wrong to you if its legal where they live?

the age gap is nothing...
and for you to generalize all people that age having lack of maturity shows ignorance..
Ive met and delt with 16-19 year olds that have more maturity levels than some 30 year olds... its all about how you are raised and how fast you are forced to grow up..

if it was my daughter he was dating I would kill him and bury him in a shallow grave.

older men date younger girls that young because they have more control and feel in control. They have flaws that other women will spot but 16 year old girls will miss.


COMPLETELY agree
