Is it alright for a 19 year old guy to date a 15 year old girl?

Hugh Hefner dates 25-year olds and he's 83. We'll take that down to 82 to be an even number. 82/2+7=48. 48>25. Formula failed. No, being a rich man in a bath robe living in a mansion does not make him special.

If she is a mature and sweet young lady and you two love each other and have things in common, go for it man. Nothing wrong in age difference alone.

I believe it only applies for those underage, and if not, then he's breaking the rules.

Well I look at it in a different light. To me, it's more relative to the age difference in terms of percentage. Meaning that I see an 80-year old and a 25-year old the same as a 16-year old and a 5-year old.

[QUOTE="II_Seraphim_II"]

[QUOTE="RJay123"]Laws aside, why exactly is it wrong? If they both care about each other, I don't see why not. We've been brainwashed to think it's wrong, but I believe that men are genetically programmed to be attracted to younger girls (I don't mean children, I mean 14-19)

Who? I believe the guy who beat the crap out of another guy should be more likely to go to jail.

[QUOTE="bronxxbombers"]

[QUOTE="II_Seraphim_II"] Wow...maybe men from where you're from. I've always been attracted to older women. And if 2 people really love each other, then why not just wait till the girl is of reasonable age. You need to understand that this is more than just a legal issue. How would you feel if your 15 year old daughter, who might have just hit puberty, was going out with a 19 year old. I know that I would beat the living **** out of the guy.

Nope I dont think that is right at all.

As a 20 year old I think the mind gap between a 15 and 20 year old isn't huge. A lot of 15 year olds can easily look older than they are, especially if they grow in the uhh... "right" areas. I'd say as long as intentions are innocent then there shouldn't be a big problem, but it's when you get people who think everything has to be about sex and then they freak out thinking the 19 year old is some predator when really he's just got the same maturity level/interests as a 15 year old.

In short, it CAN be innocent, but that really depends on intentions.

Then I believe that everyone in town has serious aggression issues and should be restrained. I would say the town needed better townsfolk.

Yeah, because there's such a clear, pronounced difference between being 17 and being 19... :roll:

That law is completely arbitrary, there's no magical barrier you cross at 18 that suddenly makes you an adult, or at least there wasn't any until someone decided to legally put it there...

They can look older doesnt mean they act older.muller39

Lol, its a little odd, but for some reason if you spin it the other way around, the guy is worshiped by all the other kids for how he got a 19 year old girlfriend.

Double standard right there. In that case, would the girl not be considered a "child predator"?

I didn't say I wanted to date the 15 year old, I'm 21 and dating a 20 year old, so don't even go there... ¬_¬

Anyway, just because the law HAS to be followed doesn't mean it's right, I still don't see anything wrong with the TC's scenario other than the arbitrary law that is in place.

The weird age Barrier thing makes no sense, from what I understand a 19 year old having sex with a 17 year old would be against the law the same way a 30 year old with a 12 year old would be. I understand they have to put a barrier somewhere, but it just doesn't work quite right.

A 15 year old is not a child, and wouldn't be tried as oneo_O. You're also jumping to the conclusion that the 19 year old is having sex with the underaged girl

So a 19 year old dating a 15 year old is automatically a child predator? Always? No alternatives? I couldn't possibly be an honest, normal relationship?

There's not even that big of a difference, they're both still teenagers...

So let me guess, you think a 30 year old guy dating a 25 year old girl is weird?

Well if you're shallow-minded enough to deem me or anyone else a "child predator" or whatever, then I wouldn't wanna hang out with you either. What does living near someone have to do with it? I wouldn't be bothering you.

Many states are enacting romeo and juliet laws which prevent you from going to jail as long as you are within a certain age of the minor. I think the current rule of thumb is 5 years, but it could easily depend on the area. Also romeo and juliet laws don't make it legal the just lower the punishment to fines, or community service.

Personally I don't see the problem, but I also went to a high school w/ daycare, and it wasn't uncommon to see guys in their mid to late 20s at formal dances. I know several girls that dated college age guys in high school, and they probably turned out a little better than the ones that waited till college to "experiment".

[QUOTE="II_Seraphim_II"] I think its about size and strength. Think about it, a 15 year old guy could probably beat up a 19 year old woman or at least defend himself, but it usually doesn't work the other way around.ayanami_rei

Girls are supposed to be equal in all ways to men, right? That's what they've been fighting for in the last couple centuries. I like younger girls in the way that I can adjust to them as human beings the same way as I adjust to someone older than me. I wouldn't try to overpower a girl. No matter the age, I see them as equal human beings to myself.

A 15 year old guy could most likely do the same thing. They want the same things a 19 year old guy does, and most likely are stronger than the girl to. I kind of doubt the 19 year old is much less naive than a 15 year old either.

No, I think a 19 year old dating a naive 15 year old is weird. The 15 year old is probaly clueless. The 19 year old could easily force her to physically or mentally do things she wouldnt want to do.bronxxbombers

A 15 year old (regardless of gender) clueless in this day and age? :lol:

If she gets forced to do anything she doesn't want to do then the guy should definitely go to jail (regardless of age), but I seriously doubt there's anything about sex a 19 year old knows that a 15 year old doesn't...

In aswer to the question. Yes, it is ok for a 19 year old to date a 15 year old girl.

What if you haven't attended college? Then you're basically equal to a high schooler anyway.
