Older men and Schoolgirls

ITT: People who don't know what the term 'paedophile' actually means.

Good old Daily Mail pedo-paranoia.

We all know what the term means, it's just a harsh way of putting something that in our eyes shows as the same type of behavious, it's not as extreme as your typical paedophile where one will prey on very young children, however it's still possibly classed as a mild case as the child is still technically a minor.
 
And thats where this country makes it's mistakes.

The age of consent is an arbitary number. It doesn't actually mean the person is or isn't mature enough to know if they are ready to have sex. Because that actual age is so variable and will differ so much dependant on so many things it would be worthless for law-making. So we have the current age of consent laws which is the arbitary line in the sand. Some sixteen year olds will be mature enough to make that decision, some won't. Some 15 year olds will be mature enough to make that decision, some won't. Some 20 year olds will be mature enough to make that descision, some won't.

What exactly would your solution to it all be?

You can't have a 'mild case'. Either somebody is attracted to pre-pubescent children or they are not. A 31 year old dating a 16 year old does not make him a paedophile in any way. It may not be very comfortable for a lot of people, but that doesn't make him a pedo.

I dont personally understand it. I guess girls mean different things to different people but for me to be attracted to a girl she must also have personality as well as good looks. I love having somebody who I can hold intelligent conversations with, share things with, and basically have as my best friend as well as a girlfriend. I couldnt do that with a 16 year old schoolgirl at my age let alone at 30 :eek:

I doubt very much that it goes that deep, he was probably single and just wants the physical side of things for a while until he meets someone else.

While i wouldn't go for a 16yo girl even at my age, i can understand why as a short term meaningless thing, some people would.
 
You believe the age of consent is going to rise in the UK? Based on what?

Even if it did the problem would still exist it would just be shifted 2 years. Or is a 33 year old bloke going out with an 18 year old girl OK? Because we all know that 18 year olds are so much more mature than 16 year olds! :D

I am still waiting for a suggestion on what the law should be.
 
The UK already has one of the highest ages of consent in the world, outside the highly conservative US so the chances of it rising are nil.

You simply can't generalise like that, some 18 year olds are more mature than some 24/25 year old girls.
 
Age of consent is just like the speed limits, you can ignore it if you want but don't get caught!
 
Lucky **** ;)

usually stories like these appear in CHAT magazine. (Well the wife leaves them lying around hehe ;) )

The 16 year old is usually a complete minger.


Being 36 myself I can't see any attraction in dating a 16 year old. Either mentally or physically.
