Older men and Schoolgirls

[QBitOscillation]

I have a friend that is 31 and he is going out with a 16yr old girl still at school.

Is this appropriate these days?

He says that when he was at school 35yr olds were doing 16yr olds.

Seems a bit much to me...

It always makes me wonder what fundamental flaw a 35yr old must have to not be able to date a person of similar age. Scary really

 

[Delvis]

Well....It's legal....Doubt people will look up to it though in the years to come.

 

[lord filbuster]

It's legal, it's no one else's business i guess.

 

[A.N.Other]

Urg that makes me shiver. I can see the potential attraction for the 30 year old, but seriously, what the hell is the girl thinking?

seems pretty solid to me..

I think the debate is a lot of 16 yo girls not knowing any better and older men taking advantage of that perhaps?

I remember girls at my school seeing 18-20 year old men but no older than that.

As people have said it's legal but still doesn't seem quite right..

 

[something daft already!!]

Well it's legal. Certainly morally ambiguous and I would be suprised if a 16 year old had anything of any interest to say to 31 year old. Too larger a gap in thought processes.

Yeah, that's the only thing...I can't imagine someone that age knowing what they actually want...But hey, who am I to judge.

Lucky ****

 

[I get around]

legal but incredibly wrong, it's basically pedophillia if we're honest, how does a 35 year old meet a 16 year old by chance, they're obviously looking for young girls to date.

 

[rsatd]

Sounds wrong, but nothing you can do about it from legal standpoint. To me it makes no sense, but perhaps to them it does.

 

[BigglesPiP]

That's way outside (age/2)+7.

 

[DreXeL]

No, it isn't

Morally questionable? Yes. Paedophilia? No.

 

[Delvis]

No, it isn't

Aye, there has to be a cut off point.

There will be a law for this soon regarding dating: (age/2)+7.

 

[Nix]

Doesn't that count as statutory rape?

 

[Rich_L]

Point and laugh, that's the deal - he gets toight teenage totty, but loses absolutely all self-respect for being one of those guys everyone laughed at when they were at school for hanging round the school gates and generally being a loser

but seriously, what the hell is the girl thinking?

££££, namely owning a car and being able to treat her to a Nando's once in a while equating to 'maturity'

How so may I ask?

No it isn't.
