you think its all about maturity and mentality?


Yes I do, if the girl at 17 is mature and mentally fit enough to date a guy the same age as her why is she not mature enough to make the decision to date a 25 year old guy she finds interesting or whatever? If she was 20 would everyone still have hangups if she dated a 35 year old she found interesting? Sheesh look at the age difference between Shania Twain and Mutt Lange...lol...nobody cried cradle robber at her wedding

^^^^^^^^^^^Well I am not a big Shania Twain fan but I dont think he was dating her when she was seventeen. ANd the big difference is that he married her and wasnt just having sex with her.

Call me a prude, but I don't even think minors should be having sex with minors.

To a point neither do I but really is there an awful lot we can do about besides educate them really well on the topic? Abstinence is being preached in the USA and Canada too, it's not working out as planned so says the statistical data about teens and sex. I guess they forgot to factor in the fact that we are programmed to have sex and once the hormones start flowing and or the first self inflicted orgasm has come and gone dating, petting and all that pther stuff will follow in fairly short order.

Standards and poor, what does Shania have to do with the price of Fried Chicken gizzards in Mississippi? first thing Shania isnt a teen, so who cares who she married.

whats scary here is you seem to be ok with a minor dating a adult, what does that say about the adult besides FREAK, so tell me why cant he stop looking in the daycare and date someone closer to his age, or at least be able to go the bars and have a drink

Have you ever considered the consequences of not only the legal ramifications of this type of relationship but how the two of them are going to look like big freaks at her prom?yeppers the only bar you can take her is the Salad bar.

i first had sex wen i was 13... with another 13 yr old... i do not regret it and believe that it was ok because i was emotionally and physically ready. i also had sex with an 18 year old when i was 15 (leagal age of consent being 16 in nz) i loved him and was not pressured so i do not see wat is wrong with this... i do however believe it is wrong to have a relationship with a minor when there is more than 5 years difference... just because of the maturity differences.

Used as an example of how nobody cried cradle robber because of the age difference between her and Mutt...which is almost 20 years. Yea sure she was not "17" when they met but other than "years" WTF does everyone believe the real difference is from a girl 17 and a girl 25-30 or whatever? Jesus my 15 year old daughter is more mature mentally than some of the 25 year old girls I work with!

You make it sound like I'd say a 13 year old girl dating a 30 year old guy would sit well with me when the truth is no I would not be comfortable with that at all! This topic is about a 17 year old girl whom IMO, and in the opinion of the laws here in Ontario, is quite capable of deciding if she wants to date a guy that's 25. Also you mentioned bars and drinking more than once....WTF does that really have to do with dating? There's lots more to dating than going out and getting shit faced at a bar for crying out loud! When I was dating the girl I mentioned earlier the bar thing never bothered us as neither of us were interested in wasting our brain cells on booze or drugs for that matter.


the two of them are going to look like big freaks at her prom?


You say that like it's a for sure thing but the truth is if she's comfortable and he's comfortable why would they even care what anyone else thinks

You mentioned Shania sport not me, i just said it was a poor comparison, she isnt a teen so what does it matter how many years her hubby is?
Are you having problems with the English language Standards and Poor , where did I say going to bars to get shit faced or stoned? and Im aware the topic is about a 17 year old , I hate to break this to you Sport im not myopic, I can read.

As far as i can tell (and this is just from a quick googling granted!!) the legal age to drive is 16 in the US. At 16 you are able to take your own life in your hands and those of many many others at the wheel of what is basically a lean mean killing machine, yet someone is not mature enough to decide on their own sexual destiny until they are 18?! That just doesn't make sense to me!!


i agree with you 100%, happyg1rl, that the driving age should be raised to at least 18.

When I was a minor, it was ok with me. In fact it was a status symbol. Girls being preyed upon by adult men is wrong though.

Depends on the maturity of the person involved. I have no problem with a 40 year-old dating a 17 year-old, as long as those involved are mature enough to handle it. I've seen it work before, it's just extremely rare. In most cases they would be mismatched. I myself have dated a couple older teens when I was in my mid-late 20's. They were very rare exceptions for their age brackets. Honors classes, very worldly, and rather experienced. The vast majority of teens though are depressingly thick-headed when it comes to maturity.

Yea I read\spell funny sometimes and hit the wrong key when I haven't got my glasses on but regardless....my point was that you made it sound like "the bar" was some all important thing to dating which it is not to many.

Mahogany really think about what your typing here, I mean who was it that determined what age entitles a person to be considered an adult able to make competent decisions regarding their own life? Do you whole heartedly agree that 18 is "the age" ? Same thing as who was it that determined that at age 65 you should be put out to pasture and pensioned off for your own good? Same thing isn't it? Someone just pulled an age out of the hat and said that's it this is when your a senior citizen, an adult or even a young adult? I don't swallow that prescription without daring to ponder things a moment and have a look at the real world and the diverse people that fill it...and I've pass that way of thinking along to my own children. How can every child on the planet be deemed an adult at age 18 no matter what and until that age is reached we feel the need to dictate their life to them in every little way. Sheesh we got kids on most parts of the planet, including ours, that are making lifelong career decisions at the age of 13 yet we want to tell them at the age of 17 who they can date? That's just ludicrous and bizarre behavior from someone they'd consider a peer!

Anyways....

I'll not change my position in saying that if this girl at 17 is interested in this guy that's 25 we should just MOOB and let them follow the path that's working for them.

I know that when I was 16 and 17 I didn't give a damn about the stuff that most high school boys did.


I think you've nailed it. Girls mature at a younger age than boys, and I think it's quite possible for a young teen girl to have more to talk about with someone older, and find his company much more enjoyable.

The decision to have sex has to be between them. I don't think we should automatically assume that a guy is "hitting on" young girls just because he happens to be a few years older and has found someone he enjoys being with. What's important is if they truely share some interests and enjoy being with each other.

If a guy is ONLY seeking out young girls, then that's another matter, but if he happens to meet one and they develop a relationship, then I think it's okay, even to have sex, if both want it she feels ready for it.

It depends on where you want to draw the line. An 18 year old isn't necessarily any more mature than a 17 year old, and being 18 only makes someone an adult as far as the law is concerned. There's no magical change that happens on our 18th birthday that prepares us to deal with the world. If someone is 17 and capable enough to make and stand by such a decision in the face of the legal implications, I don't see anything wrong with it. At 19 I was dating someone in their mid-20's, and in the end that really isn't so different beyond the legal aspect, is it?

To me, there's a big difference between a guy or gal trolling for teenagers and someone who just happens across something that clicks for them.

The last point is sort of moot if the person doesn't find bars or drinking particularly appealing.

when I was 25 my current girl friemnd was 10, OK, so I never knew her then, when I was 30 she was 15. when I was 50, she was 35. I have always wondered at what age would I have been for it to be acceptable to you wousers for our relationship to be acceptable.

i agree with YORKIE RICH....how can you as a woman say that if they bleed,they can breed...
you are right,..they can!BUT SHOULDNT!
and a MAN at 25 should know better,...my son is 8,...and to hell with the idea that i will allow or instill into him that a real man would even think of a teen,...

i do belive age and maturity is important and NO child should be in a bad way. but i see alot of people angry over the man dateing a under age girl. ok. what about the wemon dateint an underage boy ??? it never fails even if u respond with it is wrong most of u are thinking "well thats different" like men even at that age are scum so who cares and it hapens alot least we forget the teacher in jail for HER love of a student. or what if its same sex adult child?
the whole thing is more complated then age i think marrage is the best test .why?? becouse if there mature enough to have sex then there mature enough to get married so mabey it should be MARAGE befor any sex.

How sick I am?? Well first off she has 2 parents and second is that general attitude and comment reminds me of the time we had other parents get in our face because we refused to lie to our children about Santa Claus just so it would uphold the BS they were feeding their own kids Anyway if our daughter decided she wanted to date a guy that was 20 the mom and I are both confident she'd be mentally capable of making that choice without dictator'ish interference from us...same goes for our son. Isn't the job of parenting suppose to be about guidance, support and leadership as opposed to ruling their life with an iron fist? I mean I hear other parents at work talk about how they won't let their daughters, and notice I say only daughters,date until they are 16 and in the same breath they whine and complain about how rebellious their daughters are! Yea like that strategy is working, their daughters are out sneaking around with boys, telling lies about their whereabouts, being stressed and worried about getting caught and punished...gee what a life for a teen to live


and maybe she is TOOO matture for her age because dady let her grow up to fast!


Again she and her siblings have 2 parents and whats the point of holding them back? Your pretty much saying there that it's ok to let the body grow but not the mind! Your logic makes no sense to me and probably many others in the world my dear...

Bullshit, bullshit and bullshit, im sorry but nothing you have said justifies why a adult especially at 25 should be dating a 17 year old , doesn't matter if its one day before her 18th birthday, until she hits that legal age then she can do what she wants

I know the laws are f*cked up and most times it doesn't make sense, but there is still a reason why a minor cant do certain things, they cant vote, purchase real estate,run for public office, for the most part play professional sports, obviously Tennis, soccer are the exceptions but lets not digress.

Some of you are fixated on my comment about the bars, I used the example of bar because you have to be a certain age to get it, it wasn't about going out and getting shit faced for shits and giggles

Sorry guys i think its wrong for a adult to be dating a minor, if a 25 year old guy cant meet a girl closer to his age and has to resort to hit the high schools to find a girl, what does that say about the guy? or girl at 25 that has to hit on the 17 years old

possibly those raging on about 'laws' should use their time to lobby for laws to raise the age of consent for sex to 18 rather than posting on POF.

confidentially, posting on POF ain't gonna change a dayum thing, except maybe make you feel a little better/more proud of yourself, or self-righteous about the eminent, self-evident correctness of your views, for a few moments.
