Yes, I spelled it that way on purpose....


Do you believe this?

If a man is 36 is it ok to date an 18 year old girl? She is of legal age but..he is TWICE her age!!

Ok, for those of you that said yes.....what if that 18 year old was your daughter...would it be ok then?


A question my friend asked me this morning...thought I would get some advice on it from all of you!

Lots of young women go for older men. Guys 18 and 19 years old just aren't mature yet (for the most part). 18 does seem a bit on the young side but who am I to judge.

guess it depends on the maturity of both people. If it were an 18 yr old girl very innocent and he being 36, might do her more harm than good in the longrun, but if it were an 18 year old that is extremely mature for her age I don't see why it would matter. As long as nobody is getting hurt by the situation and they were happy, who cares what their age is? Have to add though a woman 36 with an 18 yr old boy-people frown on. Why is it okay for the man to date younger women but women not date younger men?

I think because it is a known fact that men mature much slower than women. If an older woman dates a young guy, she is considered to be truly robbing the cradle. Our society also dictates what is right and wrong to some extent. Men have been dating younger women for a very long time...it has become more acceptable in society. dunno

Believe it or not I am actually seeing a neighbour of mine and she is only 17 going out with a 34 year old,

I have to say I do not agree as I personally do not feel she is miture enough for such a relationship, maybe it's I have watched her grow since she was 7 and I'm blinded with the parental blindfold.

But in saying that I do feel that an older woman and younger man does work as I feel the woman will care for the Boy in a very sensual way and guide him to treat the women he will come into contact in a much more experienced manner.

The main reason men dated younger women as a general rule in the past was for two reasons: she is of child-bearing age, and back then a husband also assumed the patriarchial role as well (as breadwinner) and, GASP! even as "disciplinarian." When it was rare for a woman to go out and work, it was her husband's sole responsibility to provide for her financial support while she did her "wifely duties" at home, cooking and cleaning and taking care of the kids.

Nowadays, since most women aren't looking for men to "take care of them," it seems odd that someone 36 would be even interested in a young woman of 18. Unless what he's looking for is someone he can boss around and feel superior to.

dunno

Sorry-- But NO. And if it was a 36 year old woman dating an 18 year old, the answer would still be no. It matters not how mature said 18 year old is, the FACT is that legal or not they are still a child in my eyes.
