Now I know people will have different views on this and I suppose there is no right or wrong answer but me and the lads were having a chat the other day about what sort of an age gap is acceptable in a relationship.
Now I know we have a wide range of age group posting on here but bearing in mind 16 is the legal age(sexual wise) what do people think is the mininum and maximum age of the person you should be with if you were the following ages:
18
20
22
25
30
35
40
40+
I think a lot depends on how pished you are to be honest! 
Congratulations on 300 post fella! ;D
I’m 18 now, and the biggest age gap i’ve had is a 20 year old, and when I was 17 I went out with a 16 year old who’d just turned, felt a bit weird about that one. Obviously it’s difficult to say, circumstances are different all the time. My cousin (girl) is 19 and is seeing a 25 year old and I have no quarms with that at all. There’s a difference with men and woman for sure.
It certainly depends on personality IMO.
Some people act way above there age wereas others act way younger ???
At the end of the day its two people doing there thang and its not upto anyone else to judge :-\
Yeah I have to agree with you there guys but what would your view be (i’ll put it in hypothetical terms) if I, 22 went out with say firstly a 16 year old or secondly a 40 year old?
The point we came to was its hard to put an exact age gap on relationships without it being wrong because of all the elements involved and what the two seperate people are like. It will change from person to person.
A no no situation for sure is that there was a teacher in my high school in his 50s (recently sacked for having porn on his PC) who is married to a 26 year old who was a former pupil :o. He’s a renowned peode, and a bloody freak, who many lads (over the years) have been expelled for for violence towards him . He got away with it for 20 odd years, an absolute farce.
When I was 24 I went out with a 40yr old and to me it wasnt even an issue - to most others around me either actually except a few little digs - but he didnt look or act like a stereotypical 40yr old, if there is such thing! But I dont think I could ever be 26 and go out with a 16 or even an 18yr old! Thats just wrong wrong wrong! In my experience (one dreadful date with a 22yr old) younger men and older women is definitely NOT the way to go!!!
I think I was the 40ys olds mid life crisis though! Lol - cherry on his cake so to speak, typical aging guy buys a porsche and gets a young blonde!!! :-\
Once your over 21 I think you can date whoever you want regardless of age.
I hate those wankers who sit outside school in their shit cars waiting for their schoolie girlfriends, scowling at all the children. A 17/18 year old lad going out with a 14 girl is doing so because no one his own age would dream of it, they target the young because they are yet to develop the social skills to realise these boys are pricks.
In Iran they have only recently (2002) raised the age of marriage and consent for a female from 9 to 13 and one third of females married did so under the age of 17, some as young as 10. Paedophiles.
I don’t know if this link will stay here but check this out :o what a great holy man :-\ Jesus is way better
I think religion is a touchy subject chaps, so lets avoid it on here so as not to offend anybody!! Thanks
Spot on mate due to these tosser’s having brutal crack they cant get a lass there own age.They have to wooo schoolies with nova’s and cider.
When I was at school I used to hate it cos you could never pull the mint girls cos of these pricks.
Anyway im 20 and I would go out with 18 yr olds still no problem the oldest was 25 and I was fine with that too (although added pressure to put on a good show)
Can I ask why the topic Vaughny
A couple of resons really Winky, one I was bored and felt it was time for a bit of a debate to pass the day and two one of the lads has started seeing a 30 year old, hes 22 and we were discussing it the other day to how it would be perceived by others and I thought I would get you lot in on the action and we asked would our views be different if he was dating a 16 year old! We all thought not, but each to their own!
wait, if he is 22 and dating someone whos 16 hes a turd…isn’t he?
If my daughter was 16 and started dating a 22 year old guy I’d kick the shit out of him. OK she might be mature for her age but I reckon to balance the force I would revert to being 16, mentally, and do him for trying to steal my girl.
If he still came around then I reckon he might have some good intentions so he might be ok ;D
Would you still say that at forty tho. ie you would’nt go with say a 30 yr old man when your 40 8)
He isn’t going out with a 16 year old, that was hypothetically speaking. I agree with Hillsey in respect that as long as the right intentions are there it shouldnt pose a problem as it isnt deemed wrong if a 40 year old man goes out with a 24 year old women or a 30 year old women goes out with a 22 year old man.
I suppose it is looked at differently though when the people involved are farily young as a maturity aspect has to be considered, its a funny subject really and there is some good point of views flying all over the show!
Ill tell when aour opinions would change tho fella’s - When its family! :o
If my eldest niece 14 was dating a sixteen or above year old i wouldnt be happy at all, especially if he was a City fan!! >:(
As you get older the age thing matters less. When I met my wife she was 23 and I was 30. That seemes a bit odd on paper but she was 2 years out of college and had a masters degree and was pretty mature for 23. Now that I’m 36 and she’s 29 the age difference is barely noticeable (maybe because I’ve finally grown up)
I guess that once a gal hits 21 she’s fair game for anyone.
I’d say if two people really love each other then age difference shouldn’t really be a problem. Apart from…
When my parents split up when I was about three or four, my old man copped off with an 18 year old when he was 39 :o. A lot of people commented on the huge difference in age and said no way would it last, but it made no difference until 21 years further down the line when she was just shy of 40 and my old man had gone past 60, it was then that the age difference really started to count and she ended up leaving to be with someone closer to her age.
I think that when the person is young despite how mature they may seem to be they really havn’t experienced life enough to make an educated decision on what is right/wrong for them.
I have a friend who when he was 15/16 had a woman of about 20 after him, basically she led him along, gave him the “it will be ok” and all that when he was very unexperienced and shy and he now has a four or five year old little girl. It turns out that the woman had basically decided she wanted a baby and since my mate was a good looking young coloured lad he could give her the ‘chocolate baby’ (her words) that she so badly craved. This would never have happened had he been older as he would be wiser about the ways of the world.
If someone’s intentions are genuine i can’t see why a 20 odd year old lad couldn’t see a 16 year old girl, but if they are stringing someone young on then that is wrong.
Once you get to the age of 22 or so i don’t see why age should matter, i was briefly seeing a woman of 30 when i was 22 and that was fine. When i was young and naughty i also entertained a couple of older women but everyone knew the score and it was what it was and nooone got hurt.
I think it depends on the persons intentions with the youth side but as you get older what ever floats your boat! If being with someone 10 years older/younger than you makes you happy then good luck to you!
Whatever opinions you have now, will definitely change when you have kids!! I have 2 daughters and I can guarantee that when shes 16 there will be no22yr old hanging around!!! I dont care how “mature” she thinks she is at 16, I would fuckin kill him!!
Its your duty as a parent to make sure you do the best you possibly can for your kids, and I wouldnt think I was if I let my 16yr old daughter go out with a 22yr old!!! I couldnt care less how “honourable” he said his intentions were, shes still only a kid, even if she thinks shes not!
So then mate John did meet up with one of those road sluts ;D, (let me guess the driver ;D) and no way was she 30 mate, she was at least 40 ;D 
;D
Nasty
