By that same token, you could be 27 and have a solid head on your shoulders, or still running around with the mental and emotional maturity of a little kid, and if you're 27 running around after 18 year olds, or encouraging 18 year olds, well, chances are you're that 27 year old with the mental and emotional maturity of a little kid, who finds 18 year olds with the mental and emotional maturity of a little kid, attractive.

There's nothing illegal about it, but it's hardly a sign of maturity in either of them IMO.

I'd consider your blanket opinion that anyone that would pursue something at these ages to have to be immature to be a highly immature attitude due to it's pointed lack of nuance. So we've all got our opinions.

(I know you're a fan of the endless back and forth where both people keep saying the same thing to each other just worded differently over and over and over again. So just to head that off at the pass. I think I'll pass man, no offence.

When my mother was 18 she started seeing my father who was 30. There happily married for over 34 years.
So, I don't see the problem.

They are allowed to do what they want, and I am allowed to assume that a 27 year old chasing 18 year olds is a bit of a loser, probably a bit creepy, and certainly somebody likely to be immature and worthy of a measure of contempt.

It is legally grand. But try telling her dad that.

Try telling your missus dad what you do to his daughter now and see what he reckons.

Age isnt going to change that.

With the way the "fashion" is gone now, you might find yourself a virgin for life if you wait for a pitch with grass. Theyre all playing on snooker tables now.:)

Are you from Rotherham OP? :eek:

IrishEF · 08-07-2015 4:37pm

I think it is morally wrong and kinda gives me the creeps when its thats age gap from 18 - 27.

Up to 18, a girl wouldnt have much life experience compared to a 27 year old fella.

Anyone agree???

I would disagree. Are you male or female?

Nothing wrong with this at all. Most men would jump at the chance, and most older women would talk like you have "creepy" etc.. Jealousy plain and simple.

I doubt there would be a long term relationship but for a fling zero problems at all.

I would guess that EF is female, but that aside, your comment is a bit daft.

Most men would be attracted to a girl still in their teens as an adult? I doubt it. Some men will be, some won't be, some wouldn't think they'd be but then run into someone that is absolutely perfect for them and just happens to have been born rather later than them.

Most men aren't actually ruled by whatever their penis tells them at any given moment, for all the jokes.

Lux23 · 08-07-2015 4:53pm

Legally it is ok, but morally it is pretty gross.

Jjiipp79 · 08-07-2015 4:54pm

Would anyone have a problem if the lad was 18 and the woman 27?

Rhys Essien · 08-07-2015 4:57pm

Elvis met Priscilla when she was just 14 and he was 24.:eek:

How creepy is that.

No, that's different!! That's a guy and a girl, so that's okay.

It's just creepy if the girl is 18 because women can't make up their own minds at that age and everyone knows men are always up for it.

In one instance you have a guy taking advantage of a an 18 year old woman.

If the guy was 18 and there was 27 year old woman pursuing him, then he's a bauss. Because, SENSE! That's why.

No. Based on your argument we should only getting into relationships with people that are the same age. She's 18, if she was under the age of consent, then there would be an issue.

You can't speak for 'most men' or 'most women'. A silly argument to assume that 'most men' like the same thing and most older women are 'jealous' because a man decides to go out with a younger lady.

It's fine, but just about and no more.

Hi All,

Just a quick one. I am in the middle of debate with a few friends and wanted a few opinions on the matter.

What is the general outlook on the following:

Is it ok for a 27 year old male to be flirting and driving around with a just gone (as of yesterday 7th July 2015) 18 year old girl? Bearing in mind that the 27 year old male has admitted to flirting with her.

All opinions welcomed!!!

That's the bit that causes the trouble.

No offence taken at all, I know where you're coming from, but for me personally it's not even the age gap itself, but that at the ages they're at they'd generally be at different life stages is all.

Anyone that has to ask strangers on the internet is it ok to date someone they're probably going to date anyway is hardly going to be looking for serious answers, well, I'd hope not anyway!

If I didn't know better I'd say the OP was boasting tbh... :pac:

Yeah but to actually act on it?????? Is a bit different than been attracted! Would you like your 18 yr old daughter to be flirting and hanging around with a 27 year old?

I would. The life experiences that an 18 year old would have would be nothing to a 27 year old, of either sex!

Well, if they were both virgins, at least that's one aspect of life experience they'd have in common :pac:
