WTF is it about age gaps?

[Lady Rinoa]

Oh crap...I am older than my hunny =O

...oh well, he likes the raping, never complained as of yet

[Samic]

Any 18 year old that wants to date a 13 kid is scary. I'd steer clear of that cat, doesn't seem like a trustworthy guy. I'd have to agree with FS on this one.

Difference from ranting and flaming, Hank.

As for this age gap? You'll need to realize something, if an eighteen year old wants to "DATE" a thirteen year old, that is nothing but bad news.

There's a difference from friendship and a dating couple. Steer clear away from that dude, unless you want to end it in tears.

And as for you, my dear DragonFleye, it will be a cold day in hell before I let you go out with and eighteen-year-old, at your age.

If I was her mother, she wouldn't be allowed to have opinions.

Hate to break it to you, but some of the most cruel people I've run across as far as taking advantage of people go are Christians. This kid I know. . .he says he "lives for the Lord" and all what have you, but that didn't stop him from sleeping with another girl after he told his girlfriend they'd get married someday. And once he and the girlfriend were off? He stopped seeing the other one, as well -- for another girl he'd gotten a thing for while dating the original girlfriend, who he was happy with and still misses to this day.

But it's all okay, because he had an excellent opening for it. He just tells everyone he felt like he was straying from the Lord and had to leave her, instead of the fact that he told her he ****ed some other girl and she left him on the spot. Now he plays the victim and pity cards like an ace.

Don't let his religion make you think he's automatically a clean and pure person. I'm an agnostic and not nearly as hypocritical and mean and some of the Christian folk I'm friends with.

It's technically rape, but if you think it's right, do it?

I can't possibly agree with advice like that, sorry.

[Larsa]

Well all I can say for you is that if you really do love the guy and by the time you 16 you still love him you should get married to him. Look at it this way: My grandmother and Grandfather have a twelve year difference and they married when my grandmother was 18and they went all the way throught a golden anniversary and they still loved each other to my grandfathers death. You only need to make sure he's the right guy no matter if he's christian.

Well.. my experience with age gaps are, my parents have a 10 year age gap, they are now divorced. I'm not saying this always happens.. but I know alot of people who have huge age gaps between their parents end up being divorced.

But then again most people these days end up getting divorced, about 30% of my school has divorced parents

[Luna Lovegood]

It's not age gaps that are the problem here, it's the fact that the guy is 18 and she is 13. Seriously, any 18 year old guy who is in love with a 13 year old seriously needs to be kept a close eye on by the authorities, or at least by the local paedophile bashing mob

shed not be allowed to live never mind have oppinions! i dated guys with bigger age gaps than 5 years when i was under 16, and i never slept with any of them... does that make me a bad person? no, does it make them? no, well 1 but he got his comeuppance, anyhow. i think its all down to personal oppinion of the person.

[Ugly Casanova]

It is based on a persons opinion, but in my opinion, based on your opinion, you shouldn't be allowed to go to school plays and bus stops.

Hello, but he isn't in love with me. I was just stating that I hate how everyone immediately thinks 'rape' when they hear about such a relationship. My best friend's parents got together at that age and there was no problems. I just really like him and he likes me back...

[Ugly Casanova]

You're going to think whatever you want anyways...So what does it matter?

[Sam]

That's the thing about internet arguments... You can ignore writing on a screen, whereas you can't ignore someone screaming in your face.

[Ugly Casanova]

I can ignore someone screaming in my face.

I do it all the time. I look at them like I'm listening, but really I'm not hearing a word they're saying.

[Lennon Legend]

It's a weird 18 that would go out with a 13 year old girl. ****ing nonce.

[The Dude]

Simon, you always know how to put the general concensus in the simplest and clearest of ways.

[Ex Deo]

Seriously, anyone 18 year old who is interested in a relationship with a 13 year old is suspect. It's really not natural, unless she's lying to him about her age or something, which I hope isn't the case.

As well, at 13 years old, nobody is ready to handle a serious relationship with anybody. I'd also say the majority of the population isn't even ready at 18.

[Lennon Legend]

I want to punch QS in the face for her, "It's the same age gap, what's the problem you guys?!!!" bull****.

[Dani]

Well thats a disaster waiting to happen

13-18: at 13 your body is not sexually mature enough, hormones will **** with you left right and center. At that age you're not really physically or mentally prepared for a proper relationship. at 18 most people have reached that maturity, but the 2 are very different so there are bound to be clashes of ideals etc.

30-35: You're both physically and mentally mature and sexually prepared at that age so the gap doesn't matter as much.

The 2 are not the same, and never will be the same. Its alright being 13 and going for someone you're own age because they'll be at the same stage and it'll just be fooling around, finding your feet etc so you'll be going through the same things together, someone who is 18 will not want to go trhough the whole puberty and confusing hormone thing all over again, once is enough!

Even for me right now I'd say 5 years is my boundry and I'm 20, anyone older and I just don't think I'd understand as much because I'm still at the end of that transition phase and they're already over that hill. Its all to do with life experience and the way you look at things.
