its not the age gap that is weird, its the fact that if u seeing a 15 year old........ a 20 year old with 15 just makes ya think why cant ya get someone ya own age. and not someone who is still at school.....
I'm really surprised at some of the reactions here. In the Netherlands, a 15 year old dating an 18 year old is a very normal thing. I even see 14 year olds with 19 year olds and nobody thinks anything of it.
So no, I personally don't have a problem with it. Also, I don't think it's illegal in the Netherlands.
We don't have to go very far back in history to when it wasn't uncommon for a girl to get married from as early as the age of 12. Of course there's nothing weird in finding a 15 year old attractive, no matter what age you are. There are plenty of 15 year olds who look 18+ and some that are mentally and emotionally more mature than their age suggests.
I would say that the law is pretty unrealistic. It's crazy to be branded a sex offender for having consensual relations with a mature 15 year old, especially if you're only a year or so older yourself. These days it seems that many teenagers are growing up very fast and I don't suppose they even think about the law when they start experimenting - well, from their point of view, why would you? It would make sense that your parents might care about such things, but the police and those boring suited guys on the news can just mind their own bloody business and maybe try to catch to real criminals!
the reason some people are branded as a sex offender is because strangely enough in some countries its illegal to have sex under the age of 16. So sleeping with a 15 year old would make u a sex offender regardless of wether its consensual or not.
Bottom line u need to look at yaself if you cant manage to get someone ya own age other than preying on little school girls who dont know any better.
lol when i was 15 i was going out with a 21 year old woman lol i've always liked older women, younger women just don't do it for me : Too immature.
You are a HUGE liar. You think a 21 year old woman would go for a younger boy. Women like older mature men and Men like younger hotter women. Everything you just said was ridiculous. I could let you pass on an 18-19 year old when you were 15, but no way would you date a 21 year old woman.
I was dating a 47 year old woman when I was 17. Lasted a little over a year. And loved every minute of it.

Question: 14 year old girl dumps 19 year old man. 14 year old girl then begins dating 45 year old man. Still normal?

I can be short about that; not really. I personally (being nearly 19) don't really see myself with a 14 year old either. 15, 16 and 17 though? Sure. She'd have to be extremely intelligent, but yes.
Was that an actual question to me or was that an argument against 19 and 14 year olds?

Heh. From what I see, these days, it's just as likely that the 15 year old girls are preying on older men. They may still be school girls, but they ain't little and they know exactly what they're doing!

Wasn't questioning you perse, Praetoriani. Just wanted to get your opinion.
I guess I'm just really ?amused? by the way society and laws work. A 15 year old girl with a 19 year old guy can be overlooked by society, but not that same girl with a guy in his 20's,30's, or 40's. On the law side, here in the U.S. at least, 18 is adult, anything under is minor. Adult+minor= jailtime.
And no, I am not advocating underage girls being allowed to date older adult men (or women). As someone who has a daughter, I can promise that if her 15 year old self was caught with an adult man (consensual or otherwise), she'd be grounded and the prison system would be spared ever having to find a place for him.

Well, it's not exactly rocket science. Nor advanced sociology or psychology for that matter. The average 19 year old and the average 30 or 40 year old are on a very different level emotionally. Nineteen year olds often still live with their parents, have just started their tertiary education and are therefore far more compatible with a high school girl (provided said girl is emotionally more developed than her peers) than a 40 year old who has to bills, a mortgage and maybe even an ex wife and kids to worry about.
Wow, the world sure is different for straight people than gay people.
If a gay person were 20 and find a 16 year old attractive he would be called child molester by just about everyone. Straight folks, on the other hand, it's okay. You people definitely rule the world. Even in lose interpretations.
No, it's perfectly normal as long as you're kinfolk. After all, if she can't get married within the family, what makes you think any guy outside the family would want to marry her?

Who is this "a gay person" you always talk about? You aren't lumping all gay people into one category are you? And who are these "you people" that seem to rule the world?? Help me by interpreting please...
Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!

No, because different girls/women mature at different rates. The legal age of consensual sex is much lower in other countries, because they aren't as puritanically corrupt as Americans are. In Japan, it's as low as 14 (perhaps even lower.. I can't remember).
Believe it or not, but many thousands of years ago it was the norm for 13 year olds to be mothers/fathers. It doesn't mean that they were intellectually ripe enough to deal with the consequences of sex, but women/men (boys/girls) are perfectly capable of reproduction at ages below the legal minimum.
It is natural to be sexually attracted to a female that is below the legal age as long as she looks like a woman and not a child..
Just because something isn't moral does not mean that it isn't natural. People tend to confuse human restrictions with biological restrictions.
This is a sequence of characters intended to produce some profound mental effect, but it has failed.

All straight people are the same? You should stop posting unless you are trying to make homosexuals look stupid. It's a good thing that I've had homosexual friends and realize that sexual preference is just a preference and not a system of beliefs.

On a personal note, I am six years younger than my fiancee (24 and 30) and I don't see a problem with that. Now I will say that as a
man I would be very scared to date anyone who is under 18 (I think it's under 17 here in Texas but don't quote me). For one I would
hate to be labeled a sex offender, which is a felony and has such a nasty stigma attached to it for something admittedly very minor (no
pun intended). Secondly I just find teenagers in general to be uninteresting and fragile mental creatures, I know because I was one too but we all grow out of it, so the idea of dating someone who is still a teen just seems odd. I had a friend of mine, who was 25 at the time, date a 17 year old highschool girl whom he dropped off and picked up from school. Something like that would just be humiliating to me, and him too, eventually.
Now the picture above poses a great question, if it is such a great crime for a man to have intercourse with an under-aged female, why does American society seemingly brush off woman on man pedophilia?

C'mon thats not weird, love happens, if you feel atracted for one girl of 15 years old, what can you do?...
