Would you date an under-age (i.e. under 18) person?

Being 26, I won't even see 21 year olds.

So no. No no no no no no no.

Mainly we're in completely different places and I get annoyed very fast with bullshit. Most people are full of shit but especially those who are just learning to drink and drug.
 
If she's legal 16-18 then knock yourself out OP. But dude 14-15? You're just asking for trouble

edit - read that part wrong. but yeah 14-15 is gross.
 
What's the appeal of a 14 or 15 year old? Not fully formed? Can't make decisions? Not "burdened" by knowledge and wisdom? And how do you shits in other countries with age of consent waaaaay down there defend that as being ok for you to fuck?
 
my boyfriend and I started dating when I was 18 (he was 21), if it was earlier I wouldn't have seen a problem with it. age differences bigger than that so early can be weird, though
 
I'm 28, so no. Not sure I'd even date someone who was 21 initially.

When I was 21/22, I'd doubt I do that either, mainly as that would be more than 3 or 4 years younger than me.

If it was younger though you would have to grapple with the fact that your boyfriend would have been a legitimate sexual predator, and that should put strain on a relationship. But that wasn't what happened, so you don't have to, thankfully.

in massachusetts the age of consent is 16 -- different for each state

That would certainly help although you doing actual research and not being a pedophile aren't necessarily contradictory.

Okay first, the word is Ephebophile.
Second, India is a country infamous in the news for creepy stuff like this. Write what you know, correct?
I know it's a super sensitive subject and plan to treat it with the proper respect and seriousness it demands.
 
I've been in a few relationships before I met my wife and those women were all a bit younger. It always made a difference for me because I felt they were not emotionally mature yet or still had "the crazy" in them.

My wife is 3 years older and it made all the difference in the world for me. Greatest relationship I have ever been in.

You're attracted to kids?
 
About a year ago, as a 22 year old I had an opportunity to get things going with a 16 year old girl I met at a party. Whether she just wanted to contact me so I could buy beer for her and her other 16 and 17 year old friends, I don't know, but I didn't feel comfortable regardless so I told her nope.

A lot of girls younger than me have been with guys who are in their 30s and 40s. The whole thing just seems off to me. But it's the society we live in and as long as nobody is getting hurt then whatever. Men are valued for confidence, charm, what they have, and what they can do. For the majority of guys I'd imagine that stuff has a direct positive correlation with age so naturally girls are more attracted to older guys.

Florida at least has a "Get Out Of Jailbait Free" zone where consensual stuff between ages 16-24 is legal, iirc.

Yeah, I'm in the clear.

I think it really depends on the person. There are some underage people who are much more mature than most people their age. I worry, though, that a lot of older guys interested in younger girls just want to fulfill the kink of having a jailbait girlfriend, and have no interest in her maturity or much of anything beyond her appearance.
 
When I was 21, a 17-year old girl made it pretty clear she was interested in me, and I was tempted. Looking back, I was an idiot for not pursuing it since it wasn't that big of a gap. At the time though it felt wrong to be in 3rd-year university and have a person in high school go after you.

But I am 29 now...and yeah, that wouldn't happen. It's hard to say how low I would go, but maybe 20? 21? Hard to say as it always depends on the person and their personality, maturity, etc.

20+ is fine for any guy 30+ imo. Some people act like they're still kids which I find odd. Large age gaps can be weird but you can still find people with similar interests. And of course their maturity level needs to match up.

It's all about the level of maturity. Of course, maturity requires life experience.

I just find it funny how this topic is very scary to Americans tho lol.

What the fuck is up with people constantly using this excuse?

We had those Zwarte Piet threads recently, and the defenders kept saying "you 'muricans".

Now we have a thread literally discussing if you would date a 14 year old....and you are saying "lol 'murica" again.

I'm not even form America, but come on man.
 
Ok, OP, after seeing some of your responses, I'm starting to think you might be trolling, son. Or really naive. Either that or...

Nope, I'm done in this thread.
 
I remember girls in middle school dating guys in high school and I found that creepy, this just takes it to a whole new level.

This thread is not about that. Paedophilia has a specific definition.

Pedophilia or paedophilia is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children, generally age 11 years or younger

This is about legality and morality, but not about pedophilia.
 
I'm too old for that (34), but if I were ten years younger? sure, as I did a couple of times, but she would have to be at least 16

Yeah true, I edited my reply.

Still, those "america lol" shit is funny during the right topics, but not here.

Fuck no. I like going to bars. What the hell am I going to do with someone under 21? I ain't a fucking baby sitter.

Once again, someone is being rather disingenuous
Under 21 doesn't mean OMG! NINJA TURTLES! level of maturity

I think it comes from the perception of Americans being puritanical despite your media being the most risqué.
To be fair, as per the news you guys are good at making mountains out of molehills
Considering the subject matter, I'm happy so many are taking a stand against it although some are being unfair
