Re: Poll for men only please, regarding sex with younger women

The title of the thread, the question, and the OP are all slightly different. 16 for a female is comparable to 18 for a male. There are early bloomers and late bloomers but the vast majority of the time, a 16 year old girl is an adult and a 15 year old girl is a child. I voted 'no', but there are exceptions. There are many factors to consider. Some people have good intentions and some people have bad intentions. There's a lot of room for disagreement over what is and isn't good intentions, but there are some things that are definitely bad. If the guy OR THE GIRL is trying to take advantage of the other's naivete, that's bad, and the older one isn't always the one with greater street smarts. I asked out a 16 year old girl when I was 23, but I was madly in love with her and wanted to marry her. I also don't believe in premarital sex. She was extremely sweet and innocent, and that made her seem naive to some people, but she had a strong will and plenty of street smarts.

So how did it work out with her?
 
OK I am going to post a poll for the Men here, based on the yoga pants thread.

Going into this, being completely understanding of the fact that levels of maturity change greatly within a matter of only a few years, I'd like to ask this.

If a girl is 15 or 16 years old, would you be OK with dating her, knowing she was only 15 or 16, if you were in your early 20s?

Would that be OK with you?

I thought that most men would not be interested, remembering the old "15 will get you 20" saying.

But apparently I am wrong, according to one poster here, and most young men would be OK dating a 16 year old.
I would not have, but I did date a 17 yr old when I was 19. A two-year difference is acceptable to me (at that age). Five years + is a bit much.

HELL NO lol


i have dated 12 up though, i was 24 she was 36
i have dated 9 down, i was 28 and she was 19. I assumed she was 24 especially since we went out together to bars and stuff but she had a fake ID. I probably wouldn't have but i cant gurantee.
 
Re: Poll for men only please, regarding sex with younger women

Nope, I wasn't interested in girls that age when I was a college boy. at that age I usually dated girls at least my age-often those a couple years older

BTW Anonymous Polls SUCK

No, that's too young. Always was fir me once I hit 18. Even at seventeen I wouldn't have considered 15.
 
Where I come from it would be very strange to do that and I wasn't tempted. Even if both were under 18, more than a one year gap would be considered weird.
 
At 15 a female is far too immature and hormonal to be considered capable of rational consent, she is also likely to be easily taken advantage of.

I was married to a woman (girl) 11 years younger than myself, and am currently married to a woman 11 years my senior.....the first obviously failed and immaturity played a heavy role.....the second will likely last until I die.

You would think this would be just common sense, but apparently it isn't. All ages of men lusting after 15-year-old children. It's disgusting.

That's easy to see when your our age. But most "men" at age 20 don't see 15 yr old girls as all that immature because they're still largely immature themselves.

I'm not referring to the 20-year-old men.
 
Re: Poll for men only please, regarding sex with younger women

When I was dating age, my parents trusted me to choose guys of good character to go out with. I did not let them down. The few guys I dated were usually 3 to 5 years older than I, and my parents could trust them with me. I think that much of it depends on the girl, and what she is looking for, and whether or not she will remain true to her own desires, rather than compromising.

So at 16, some of your boyfriends were 20-21?



They are discusting, horrible, pedo monsters.
 
Re: Poll for men only please, regarding sex with younger women

I haven't hit the big 5 oh yet, but it is less than a year and a half away.

I personally don't think there is anything wrong with young/old relationships. But below a certain age, I just don't know what they would have in common or even how they communicate these days. I have nephews that are still teenagers and for the life of me I swear sometimes they are speaking some alien tongue, not English. Also, their energy level would kill me trying to keep up with them.

Nope, those young women may be pretty to look at, but to me at least, looking at is about all they are good for.
Ś
This. I simply lack the energy and drive to even attempt a relationship with a teen. Or the patience. Probably mostly the patience. Like, 80% patience, 20% energy.
 
Re: Poll for men only please, regarding sex with younger women

I don't mind, as long as the girl knows what's up. If a 22 year old guy is interested in a 15 year old girl, it's for one thing. She should be notified up front that he doesn't give a damn about you, what you do, or what you have to say. You're a piece of ass - nothing more.

He should also tell her that it's her fault, and she can't help it. All 15 year old girls are annoying and only serve one purpose.

This should end well. :lol:

If it should be common sense, then you should have no trouble explaining the sense of it, right? Why were peoples in the past so unable to muster their common sense?

Lavoisier consolidated his social and economic position when, in 1771 at age 28, he married Marie-Anne Pierrette Paulze, the 13-year-old daughter of a senior member of the Ferme générale.[7] She was to play an important part in Lavoisier's scientific career—notably, she translated English documents for him, including Richard Kirwan's Essay on Phlogiston and Joseph Priestley's research. In addition, she assisted him in the laboratory and created many sketches and carved engravings of the laboratory instruments used by Lavoisier and his colleagues for their scientific works.

Madame Lavoisier edited and published Antoine's memoirs (whether any English translations of those memoirs have survived is unknown as of today) and hosted parties at which eminent scientists discussed ideas and problems related to chemistry​

That might be a key evolutionary defense mechanism in play.

It's a good thing that YOU weren't in a homo relationship with them.

I don't care what you drag up out of history dude. Really, I don't. It means absolutely nothing. We have scientific data, including brain scans/MRI imaging that shows the teenage brain is not yet making the necessary connections between synapses to the frontal lobe. IOW, they still have the brains of children.

I'm talking about your perspective, not science. Your feelings of disgust. These feelings don't stem from reading a science report. They're the result of socialization.

Whatever the reason, I have those feelings of disgust. Besides, I'm not talking about the 25 and under crowd, like I tried to say earlier. I'm talking about men who are old enough to be a father or perhaps even a grandfather of a girl this age. There's no denying that is just creepy as hell.

I'm not on some mission to deprogram you, have no fear. I'm just pushing back on what I thought was your implied claim that these feelings were universal.

I must have missed that part. Sorry. I thought we, all of us, were talking about the scenario laid out by the OP, which is restricted to the early 20s man.

I don't claim to be some kind of porn connoisseur but I don't think that there is a big market for granny porn, you know, age appropriate porn for grandfathers, and I don't think that there is a big market for middle-aged porn. It seems that men of all ages find young adult women sexually attractive. I imagine that this is shocking news to you.

A 15-year-old is FAR from being a young adult. I know this because I was one.

Unfortunately, I'm not 20 anymore, but I think this is out of bounds. 1. There is a significant difference between the maturity, generally speaking, of these ages and the older party is probably preying on inexperience and immaturity. 2. It is in direct violation of the 'half your age plus 7' rule (i.e. 20/2 = 10 + 7 = 17 = the youngest age you should consider).

I would not associate with such a person.
