The age difference thread.

Ultimately it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

Jamie..... in afirness to most of the posts on this thread they were NOT aimed at you in particular, even tho you kinda raised the subject yourself. A number of peeps made it clear they were not aiming their comments at you and it was a hypothetical discussion based on your circumstances.

So chill winston, its nothing to get wound up over.

TBH with you i coulnd't care less if you uys were having sex now or in 5 yrs time, neither of you are my kids and i hope you both have parents who give a damn about you and look out for your welfare. As i said previously, if this girls parents thought of you as a predator who ws only interested in this girl for all the wrong reasons i'm sure they would have tried to put an end to it.
After all we all hear of much worse cases in the press, 15yr olds who run off to other countries to marry 50+yr old guys and whatnot.

However, as other say - learn from this. If you dont want the Org to disect parts of your life that you may not be pleased for them to do...then dont post about these things

Exactly.

Anyway look on the bright side, could be worse, she could be your sister.




Thinking about it, she isn't your sister is she?

Age difference is more relevant the younger the people (IMO). Im 12 years older than Dirty Dog - at 42 and 30 respectively - no issue (especially as he looks older than his age). when he was 18 I would have been 30 (bit iffy). when I started working he was starting school (really really really bad).


have not read all the posts on this thread and dont know what started it, just popping my 2 pence in - because I can lol

Heres a tip for the future. Dont post personal / private details on a public forum if you dont want people to comment on your life situation.

Engaging ones brain before pressing the submit button might have avoided you now feeling like you do...

He doesn't feel her, he said so and I for one believe him.

Frankly, this thread (more rather some of the comments) has sickened me ,and frankly, upset me quite a bit.. I thought this was a nicer place than this..

1. A friend of mine is currently with a recently divorced 36-yr old lady. From the sounds of things he's rather enjoying himself . And there is no risk of him ending up on a list.

2. Sweeping statements are a very efficient way of offending whole swathes of the population in easily manageable chunks.

3. Awww bless.

Don't hang your dirty washing in public, I think "Hoist by your own petard" is a relevant comment

He's not from Lancashire,.

I think it's a sad indictment of our modern society that so many people are talking about 14/15/16 year olds being in any circumstances, mature, and that the discussion accepts that it is 'normal' for children (as that is what they are) being in 'relationships' at that age.

Maybe I'm old before my time, but when I was 14 I wouldn't have been mentally, or physically, ready for anything of the kind.

I find it difficult to understand why/how so many parents allow their children even to begin thinking about 'girlfriends' and 'boyfriends' and 'relationships' at the ages so many of them seem to.

As to the original question, age gaps are fine - my wife is six years younger than me - but when the age gap crosses the boundary of legal sexual maturity, then the situation becomes illegal. It doesn't matter a jot whether either party is 'mature for their age'.

For Jamie-numbers - you asked a question, you got an answer (or answers). As Fizz said above, engaging brain before mouse-pointer is a skill you need to master - and one you will learn with age (incidentally, you might also consider whether your post is entirely necessary, before making it). Your naive admission of, and subsequent posts concerning, your 'relationship' with a child, in my opinion bely your lack of maturity - and it is this lack of maturity which my post concerns. Maybe everything will work out rosy between you and your young girlfriend, but I sincerely doubt, and cannot bring myself to believe, that anyone of your or her age really knows what love means.
