Adults and teens

Alright I am neither an adult nor a teen sleeping with one. I've had desires for a few, but that's normal. I already know that.

But I wanted to get opinions on the normality of the following.
Well it's not the "norm."
But is it really so horrible?

If you have an adult male, say in their 30's, and a female teenager, say 15. If the teenager is mature beyond her years, and has plenty in common with the man, is it so horrible for him to fall in love with her?
I mean I understand the legalities and such, and averagely am against it, but there are extenuating circumstances in which the girl may right well be that mature.
I'm not saying sex, for at the very least, it's illegal!
But a relationship, or promising to be together when they are older, do you think it's so bad?

I stand by the quote "Age is but a number" as long as the given age is old enough to know right from wrong, and understands what they are getting into if in a relationship with someone so old. What's your opinion?

      Oh, I've been in this position before, only instead of my Dad's friend, it was my best friend's Dad's brother. Same situation, to a tee. Only, we'd only seen him because we were on vacation where he lived. So when we left, you'd think POOF situation over.

      Eh heh.
      Not exactly.

      We started chatting on myspace, and the chatting escalated to flirty and seductive shit. Mind you, there were circumstances that caused me to make very poor decision. Anyway, after a while, I half woke up to the reality that this was horrifying and the other half was I found his dirty letters to some nasty old whore who lived near him. And then I was like FUUUUUUUUUU- no. This is over.

      But that wasn't it for my best friend's uncles. (I'm a horrible person, I'm aware). We were away, visiting another country, her Mom's home country. She had this really attractive uncle... and I mean, I wasn't going to do anything, but I was definitely a leeeedle flirty. But between finding out a horrifying family secret, no, TWO horrifying secrets, one that made me literally want to die, and then making the biggest mistake of my life and ending things with a boy who I loved dearly, and a year later still do, I was a mess. And when he came onto me, I didn't stop him. As it escalated, I let it. I was weak, and desperate for security and comfort. And he was providing it. But it was SO wrong. He was older, married, and my BEST FRIGGING FRIEND'S UNCLE. Finally, after he kissed me, I was like OKAY NO. This needs to end here. But still. BLEGH.

      I have this habit of having bad things happen in the summers, and then reaching out to unconventional older men for a distraction. Sigh. At least I know now what I do.

  • I think men in their 30's should be married to a woman in her 30s not some kid in high school. It is scientifically proven that teenagers are in fact still children and are not mentally or physically mature yet. I know that when I was a teenager I was very stupid and could not make adult decisions now maybe other teens are capable but like the saying goes "when in rome do what the romans do" It is not part of the age we live in to do the same things they did when America first became a country.

    Children should be able to be children for as long as the law allows.

    If you are not an adult why are you on this website? Do you not read you fucking twit? Age is not just a number and that is like saying let them fuck a 5 year old since the five year old wanted it. You must understand why the law is their to begin with.

    A 15 year old as mature as they think they may be can be more easily persuaded/manipulated by an adult of 30 years of age. A 30 year old has lived longer and while the 15 year old might be smart the 30 year old has a lot more life experience.

    So even if the child is very intelligent might still fall for the adults trick. So a 15 year old can not fully consent to an adult and having sex with them. Its like saying if a 15 year old is being fucked by their mom its ok if they both like it right?

    No since the child already has faith in the parent and expects them to protect them. So if mommy says why wont you fuck me don't you love me? The child is going to say yes to bend to mommies wishes and not hurt her feelings. SO NO NOT NORMAL AND IF YOU ARE A MINOR GET OFF! FUCK LEARN TO READ THE FUCKING RULES!

      We did this in the old days but in the old days people died at 20. It is no longer necessary for our survival. So anyone doing it now is just a perv who wants to fuck little kids. Fucking little kids is not normal or cool. If you agree with this you are as bad as the people fucking 5 year olds.

    I was sexually involved with men in their 20's exclusively from the time I was 13. Older men were all I was attracted to. I found teenage boys to be disgusting.

    Many other girls I knew in middle school and high school had a thing for older men, and sought them out for sexual encounters. It is more common than people think.

    girls mature way faster than guys , so its only natural that they will be attracted and connect better to older guys ... and since time memorial we have been marring older guys and having childern because thats how nature created us.

    Im not suggesting its ok for perverts to just go have sex with every young girl willing , but if the girl and guy love eachother or willing to marry then it should definatly be permited.

    my grandmother gave birth when she was 14 to a husband 20 years her seniour , they still live together happily and had 6 kids, and still found time to get rich! without any wrong deed done to another ... they both have exceptionally moral characters.

    Look I really felt the same way as you, but that age difference does matter.

    For examlpe I'm 19 and I like a guy who is 26 and he likes me back but the more I get to know him I realise that because of our ages we want completly different things and have completly different expectations.

    Also girls I have know with similar realationships to the one you talked about have been in a worse position after not better, usually these mean are very insecure hence they want to be with someone who cannot really challenge them.

    Iiiiiiiiiii changed my mind.
    I'm only about two years older, but I completely see how this is just... no.

    It's not weird for a younger person to be attracted to someone much older. And hey, sometimes, depending on the other person, it's not so weird for someone old to be attracted to someone younger.

    But acting on it, when the other person is so young, is just wrong.

    There are laws for reasons. Reasons when you're underage you don't get. But once you're older, and think back, you're like "ohh... maybe I WASN'T as mature as I thought."

    I know a lot more now, enough to know not to do anything stupid with someone way older than me, but I still have a ways to go. No matter how mature you are, there are just things you don't understand until you get older.

    Goodness, it feels nice to learn from mistakes.

    Horse shit, no, 15 year old's can seem to be that mature, but think about where you were at 15. By your 30's you should definitely know better.. You would have to have some serious problems with your own sex life to even consider it.

    A person shouldn't go out with an other person who is so much younger that person A remembers the years fairly well that person B was born and raised in

    Nothing wrong with it and it's perfectly normal I think. The law is a little paranoid and prudish and the legal age should be 16, and all statutory rape cases should be judged one by one, according to the individual circumstances. No one who has consentual sex with a PUBESCENT girl, whatever age, should be treated the same or almost the same as a violent rapist. But you're not even talking about sex, just an emotional realationship, so yeah, it's fine.

    When I was 41 I lived with a 19yo girlfriend and it lasted about 3 years. It can cause a lot of problems. Age is a number, that's true, but the older person is far more advanced and experienced in life, whereas the younger person wants to do things their way, even though the older person knows it doesn't work that way. Problem really comes as the both age. It's difficult for them to be at the same place emotionally with such an age difference.
