Anyone over the age of 18 is subject to the age of consent laws in your area. Me I don't care.

The formula is "Half your age plus seven".

16/2 = 8 8+7 = 15
17/2 = 8.5 8.5+7 = 15.5
21/2 = 10.5 10.5+7 = 17.5
24/2 = 12 12+7 = 19
34/2 = 17 17+7 = 24

So...
#1 is fine
#2 depends
#3 is pedophilia
#4 is bad
#5 is very bad.

In Canada I believe 14 is the age of consent so all of these are legal, if not moral.

Well I'm 16 at the moment and going out with some one who is 22 and I have never found it to be a problem, I think it just depends on the people but I don't really like the idea of 14yo & 21yo but its not too bad. I think 17yo & 34yo is much too big a gap.

this is the only one that particularly worries me. though it depends a lot on what the people are like. some girls are grown up young.

incidentally, did anyone read 'love in the time of cholera', where the age gap was something like 14yo and 76yo?

it also depends on their nationality

i live in tucson and we have a high hispanic population and the women tend to date guys who are 5-7 years older than them. And in that culture it is perfectly fine. So i have no problem

I was also assuming in Rotovia's examples that the male was the older partner.
But perhaps that's not the case?

That comes before the rights of a minor to enter a relationship.

Well understandibly it will be within a resonable limit, say after the legal age. If they're over it, then who cares?

In this country 16 is the age of consent, but sadly a proposed law was just culled which would make it legal for people between 12 and 16 to have consentual sex with those within 2 years of them. Too many people in this country didn't properly read about the law and thought it was just making the age of consent 12. The idea was that if a 14 and 15 year old have sex, perhaps sending them to jail ISN'T the best way of dealing with it. Dumbasses.

I have many relatives in the above age groups and from my own experience: it depends on the maturity of the individual. However, from what I see, more bad decisions are made if there is more than 12 months difference up to age 18. Between 18 and 25, three year differences are the maximum before there are major issues. After that, you are usually mature enough to handle nearly all situations.

Alright, everybody, instead of making generalizations about "oh it must be about the sex" or "oh they are losers" blahblahblah, did you ever consider maybe they actually love each other?

Don't go on about how you think love doesn't exist or whatever, other people do, I don't know about these relationships themselves, and I find it somewhat unlikely that people of that huge an age difference (for some of them) could love each other, but it's possible.

Any relationship is okay if the two truly love each other and understand the relationship....

Honestly, in my opinion, a 14 year old with anone older than 16 is super creepy, a 14 year old is still a child.

Once you get older though, it's sketchy, i go to university, and i know a lot of guys that are 25-26, and i dont think it would be that weird. It depends if they are your peers or not, i think. Fine if they are my fellow student, creepy if they were my boss or something.

I met a guy that was 28 the other night...i'm 19... :?

I don't think I've every gone after a girl who wasn't between a year or so younger or about 2 years or so older.

As for other people...eh, whatever floats yer boat.

Oh, and on the whole "sex below 18" dealey- in the US, 18 is when you can technically support yourself. Now, supporting yourself and a kid, I'm not sure, but it makes SOME semblance of sense, at least

I went out with a lassie who was 15 when I was 19.
We broke up when I was 20 and she was 16.

From past experience I would say that chicks may look grown up when they're 15 but they're just as emotionally retarded as guys that age. They're just better at hiding it. For some reason women think that they're more mature than men, and that they become more mature more quickly. I don't buy it. Certainly, they physically develop more quickly, but the only thing that makes you mature is actual life experience. So I reckon going out with anyone under 20 when you aren't is a bad idea.

Incidentally, I never had sex with said teenage chicky and I dumped her because she was thick as shit. She cheated on me all the time and (with hindsight) clearly had no understanding of what a meaningful relationship actually was. At the time, I was so glad to have a girlfriend that I rather stupidly ignored the glaringly obvious for a looong time.

Monkeypimp: Are you in New Zealand?

Yes, I saw that law.
The thing with most of these laws, though, is that a) you have to write
them so that they can be understood by the lowest common
denominator (i.e. if they see "16" and "12" next to each other,
they'll cry out the word "Paedophile!"), and they won't read the
fine print, so to speak, in that it was originally intended to make it
so that females can be charged with like crimes.

For example, if a 16year old boy does it with a 14 year old girl, it's
statutory rape, regardless of willful intent. If a 16 year old girl
does it with a 14 year old boy, on the other hand, no-one has any
qualms with that (except maybe the parents).
Yet this bill would have changed that, so that the same rules apply to
both.
If anything, it seems to be more of an intended sexual equality
law. But if I've missed something, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Personally I'm against the juniors getting in to that, because I have
minors in my family - and if anyone does that to them, they answer to
me, and my family - and in general I think it's bad for society in
general, not to mention immoral. I'm not Christian or anything like
that, but without education on the subject, it's like handing a kid a
loaded gun. STDs, unwanted pregnancies, etc.
Then again, the same could be said for people of any age.

*sighs* noone has yet touched on the older woman younger male thing yet so I am going to... I have had relationships with men younger then me.. once or twice nearly a ten year difference.. Hell my darling now is younger then me... but there can be advantages for the older female younger male pairing.. depending on the age of the participants of course. and maturity level is usually a factor as well. Some young guys actually have it together enough that it interests an older woman, and older women with their life experience intrigues younger men.. *shrugs* as long as both parties are content and are not violating any laws..lol why not?

i think turning around the genders helps to focus on the age thing better.
a 21 year old woman with a 14 year old boy is creepy. so is a 21 year old man with a 14 year old girl no matter how "mature" the 14 year old is.
a 34 year old woman with a 17 year old boy is creepy. so is the other way around
once you get to an adult age, its just perhaps fraught with danger. a 34 year old woman with an 18 year old man has many things to work out, but its none of our business how adults want to live their lives.

i have a friend who routinely dates men 20 years younger than she is (she is in her 40s). they dont seem to last a long time, but she sure seems to enjoy them while they last.

All of them are fine to me except the 14 and 21 year old. There are exceptions though, I mean if they really love each other, or the younger one is really (emotionally)mature...

It would be worse for a 21 year old woman to be going for a 14 year old boy, he'd be less likely to be physically an adult then the girl would be.

I agree with the 17 + 24 one.... I was 16 when I was with a 23 year old. That was erm..... fruitful. I've decided to stick closer to my age. I had a 9 month relationship with a 20 year old at the age of 17 (but he acts more immature than me), and now I'm with a 19 year old. I definitely think it's better to stay nearer your own age (even though I do like older guys).

14yo & 16yo= Mmm... Technically nothing wrong with it, but The 16 year old would have to be a loser and just looking for sex. Most 16 year olds wouldn't chase 14 year olds for a serious relationship. Then again, it could happen.

15yo & 17yo= Maybe a little bit of the above, but its less of an issue. Were I either one, it wouldnt worry me at those ages.

14yo & 21yo= NO. Thats just sick.

17yo & 24yo= Personally, I've seen this happen, a 17 year old girl I knew dated a 24 year old, and guess what? He dipped in and dumped her. It should be legal, but it never works out well.

17yo & 34yo= Can't speak from experience. I think though, that the 34 year old would be a lot more mature than a 24 year old and it would be more of a serious relationship. If a bit weird.

Dan Savage's latest column has some insight. I like his maxim about campsites. You can read his column weekly at The Onion AV Club (http://www.theonionavclub.com/).

I just started a new McJob due to the pressures of bills and our godawful job market. Mainly, I work with a bunch of 16- and 17-year-old girls. Myself, I'm a 29-year-old male. I recently found myself looking up "age of consent" laws on www.ageofconsent.com, and it says that the age of consent in my particular state is 16. Now, if the farfetched fantasy of many straight males were to occur, and one of the girls said "Take me home, I'd like to fuck you," something tells me I'd still get in a heap of legal trouble. What is the deal with teenage girls and the law?
Dirty Old Man

If your McJob isn't in a McSchool—if you're not a teacher or a coach—the law in your state is clear: You can fuck your young coworkers senseless, so long as the sex is consensual. But remember the first rule of sleeping with legal teenagers: Younger sex partners are like campsites, DOM. You should always leave 'em in better condition than you found 'em. Don't knock 'em up, don't give 'em STDs, and don't mislead 'em about the long-term possibilities (which are nil). Make sure they're having fun, be open and accommodating, and combat their youthful ignorance about sex by answering their questions.

The formula is "Half your age plus seven".

16/2 = 8 8+7 = 15
17/2 = 8.5 8.5+7 = 15.5
21/2 = 10.5 10.5+7 = 17.5
24/2 = 12 12+7 = 19
34/2 = 17 17+7 = 24

So...
#1 is fine
#2 depends
#3 is pedophilia
#4 is bad
#5 is very bad.

In Canada I believe 14 is the age of consent so all of these are legal, if not moral.I'm 19, going out with a 17 year old... barely works, but it does :)

The major problem with a relationship outside your own age group is that you have so little in common. Unless at least one of you is pretty backward or the other pretty advanced you should be at different stages in your life and have had different life experiences. The first two examples are pretty close and although odd (2 years makes a lot of differance in maturity in the teens) are not exceptionally so. The differnace between the life of a 21 y.o. and a 14 y.o. is enough that this is certainly worth a looksee, most 14 y.o. people should be pretty much still dependant for many things on thier parents and just be begining to establish and independant identity while a 21y.o. should have a well established identitiy and not be dependant on their parents (and more, but this gives a idea of why this sort of thing is a problem, but individual cases may vary). The 24 y.o. 17 y.o. is less of a problem, they both should have somewhat well defined individual identities and are at a similar life stage, just establishing their own physical independance from their parents. Unless something is seriously off kilter with the 34 y.o. or the 17y.o. this is a strange combination - they should be appraoching life from entirely different viewpoints, they probably don't share musical tastes and just about everything from the culture of that produced the 34 y.o. is beyond the 17 y.o., what can they talk about?

a 34 year old woman with a 17 year old boy is creepy. so is the other way around


well i see what you mean, but a girl of 17 IS generally more mature than a boy of the same age.

having said that, i do find that particular age gap a strain on my comfort zone (but not as much as the 14-21 :shock: ).

It seems from what you're all saying that pretty much once the younger partner is over 18 it ceases to matter so much. granted a lot of folk still have development to do after that age but it's still a bit of a watershed.

Physically, probably, mentally/emotionally, questionable. Someone said earlier that girls at that age are simply better at hiding their immaturity than boys. Figures, females tend to be more sensitive to people's perceptions and expectations . . . almost . . . chamelionic. :shock:

yeah. if they ARE more mature, it's not by much. i remember at school quite a few 17 year old girls attracting guys of 19/20 but i guess when guys are that age they might easily by fooled by the girls' appearance of maturity?

lol... 'chamelionic'? interesting insight into your perception of women there, TG :wink:

*sighs* noone has yet touched on the older woman younger male thing yet so I am going to... I have had relationships with men younger then me.. once or twice nearly a ten year difference.. Hell my darling now is younger then me... but there can be advantages for the older female younger male pairing.. depending on the age of the participants of course. and maturity level is usually a factor as well. Some young guys actually have it together enough that it interests an older woman, and older women with their life experience intrigues younger men.. *shrugs* as long as both parties are content and are not violating any laws..lol why not?

I think the difference here, while the creepiness factor is still in place, is that a 14 year old boy cannot get pregnant, while a 14 year old girl can. There is still the HUGE potential for exploitation, which is the point, but it tends to be looked upon as less harmful to the minor in question when it is a boy, or less likely to ruin the rest of his life. Besides, it's much rarer as well. Usually in the context of older/younger relationships, the female is the younger. At that age, they're not legally considered able to give consent, and their maturity level isn't developed to the point at which they can make a well thought out decision. This applies to males and females. The law is there to protect them from people who would take advantage of this.

07-06-2004, 13:49
yes, that's why we have these laws. but when silver say 'Some young guys actually have it together enough that it interests an older woman' she's not talking about 14 years olds but about adult younger man/ older woman relationships, which is totaly different (we all seem pretty much in agreeement that the 14/21 gap is wrong no matter what gender the younger party).

Seriously though, age doesn't make much difference to me, unless we're talking one minor with someone twenty or more years older than them, or prepubescent with anyone over the age of 12 (cause thats the true pedophiles IMO). Keep in mind this is for purely non-sexual relationships, for sexual, only creepy ones are the 14/21 and the 17/30-something. Course I'm probably in a bad location to comment, my state names everthing after a guy who married a 20 year old in his 60s

i know i'm 15, and i've found that most highschoolers are incredibly hard to date... although there are plenty good exceptions. so if a 30 year old woman wanted to be with a 17/18 year old, it'd be really.... uhh... crazy.

I was thinking about it today, and I'd like to here your thoughts on these real-life relatsionhips between people I know. Obviosuly names are ommited.

14yo & 16yo

15yo & 17yo

14yo & 21yo

17yo & 24yo

17yo & 34yo
Ok. with most of those I would say it seems reasonable, but one is questionable and another is just plain wrong. the questionable? 14 and 21. the wrong? give ya 3 guesses...
I say the deal with the 21 to 14 is questionable because a relationship should be based on the mental compatability. I'm 20 and I have a 15 year old girlfriend. Not cause I'm sick or perverted, but because one would never know she was 15 if she didn't tell you. She is very mature for her age and we love eachother. At the same time, there are occurances where the situation is different. Other girls aren't usually that mature. So that is why I say questionable. It depends on the 14 year old...
Another important thing to consider is that for about 2000 years before America and even for the first century of the USA's existance, it was considered the norm for a 14 year old girl to marry a 30 year old man. the reason was because that man would be already set up in life and prepared to support her properly. Also note that those relationships rarely ended in divorce. Think on that in comparison to today's standards. Divorce rates have never been higher.
Just a few thoughts. Thank you.

First off, I might note this relationship. Lorretta Lynne was 14 when she married her 21 year old husband. They stayed together their entire life, had lots of babies and had one of the best marriages a person could ask for. Their love was true. so what was that you where saying?

Considering that at that time they would have drawn a great deal of scorn for having divorced in that highly religious and moral society, not to mention that it would leave the woman pretty much destitute, I can see why divorce rates were so low....

I really dont care. If your half her age when she was born it is totaly unaceptable. Age gaps are disgusting when we are talking about people this young. I have no problem about a 24 yr old and a 31 yr old, I maen more power to ya. But if you can honistly say that you were able to walk and talk befor your girl/boyfrind was even born, you should not even be looking at this person. You, are 1/3 of her life older than her, not to mention you are 2 age milestones older than her, how can you look at that number and be unperverted. I dont care about Maturity, Law is Law and morals are morals. You may not see yourself as disgusting and desterbed but thats what you are.

I dont care about Maturity, Law is Law and morals are morals. You may not see yourself as disgusting and desterbed but thats what you are.
ok, so you think. You don't care about maturity? Guess what, I'm not the only guy who does this. I can say for a fact that 90% of guys out there, no matter their age, will look at a 14 year old and think she's hot if she's hot. Most of them will play it off and act otherwise, but the truth that all know is that these girls ARE attractive. The reason for the age laws is cause they are not believed old enough to make their own descisions. That is also bull.
Take my girlfriend for instance. She lives with her mother and Step father. Her stepfather has attempted to rape her twice, once with her mother's help. Her mother beats her regularly. She spends her life running from her mother until she calms down enough that she can sleep. When we send someone there((Thats right, we've both tried all the various legal ways)) they find out who her mother is and turn the other way. As a result, Eriko is probably more mature then most 25 year olds. I can relate to her.
So you say "But if you can honistly say that you were able to walk and talk befor your girl/boyfrind was even born, you should not even be looking at this person". Do you reallize that that is only a 2 year difference maximum? I don't know about you((I'm not even sure about my age of starting)), but I know that my nephew was walking at about 9 months, and talking at just over a year. And no, I don't mean da-da and ma-ma either.
Furthermore, if it's alright for a 30 year old to date a 20 year old, I'd say it's alright for a 20 year old to date a 15 year old. especially one as mature as Eriko.

If I were to pull something like you I would have to date A middle schooler, and thats just pediphilic. Really I would just like a chance at a girl of my own age, but no, Its always some College guy. I was extreamly lucky with my girlfriend because I was there at the right time, but I have many friends that get rejected time and time again by a girl having a 20 somthing boy friend.
And DOnt you guys have a whole stockpile of your own women? What about them? I would love to trade you on a 1 for 1 basis but guess what, That aint going to happen.

Girls look for older guys automatically. the reason is they mature faster then guys both mentally and physically. But you know what, just be a good guy in Highschool. You won't get many during highschool((the good people never do)) but afterwords the girls won't stop coming to you!

Well your just a lucky bastard. We have been talking about the girl being young. Your just one guy who happens to have reversed the situation. But seriously, shes 31?? What line of work is she in, not that it matters. She is Physicaly old enough to be your mother.

So by inference it's unnatural for males over seventeen? You ought to get out more...

If it doesn't matter, why ask?

because it may show why she would date a 17yr old. Some lines of work drive women REAL low. SOmetimes teaching and other profesions tend to allow the mind to accept this situation.

Assuming that is true then "not that it matters" is obviously erroneous, isn't it?

What I need is a name change. It really would help. I'm tired of everyone giggling.
