Okay so what is it with these men in their 30's going after 16 year olds? I have a daughter that was 16 when she met this guy. She has been living with him for the past year now. Why is it that a 30 something year old man needs to seek out a 16 year old? Now where I live they just changed the law that at the age of 16 you can consent to sex? It used to be 14 years old for consent. I do not think that a child of the age of 16 is mature enough to be in a relationship with a man of 30. So what do you think? What are your laws like?

That is exactly what I think, but there is nothing that I can do. Nasty nasty nasty.

Ridiculous! She's not doing anything against her will. She's happy with him. It would ruin her life if he was thrown in jail. (and his)

There is absolutely nothing that we can do to bring her home. She knows best she thinks. I was a bit happier when they changed the legal limit from 14 to 16. Because when she was 14 she was with a guy that was 22.


myLot reputation of 94/100. misskit (193)   ranked 703 out of 23,118 in relationships  1 year ago

Geez Lisa, it must be so hard on you knowing that you can't do a thing to get her home. All you can do is keep an eye on her and see how things go, support her and don't alleinate her, so when things do go wrong, and she sees how wrong she has been she will know that you are there for her and she can come home on her own.
Good luck Lisa, to you and your daughter.


Ghost_In_The_Machine (94)   ranked 21,070 out of 23,118 in relationships  1 year ago

What do you think she's doing now misskit? She IS experiencing life and learning lessons!
Why is this so wrong? Did I miss something somewhere? Is he abusing her? Hurting her in any way?

its a new trend which is spreading like wild fire. young girls prefer older men and older men prefer young girls. here its not a question of maturity. could be they liked and found some common meeting ground between them. this has to be analysed and studied. laws cannot change it, it will only make things more complicated.

wow that is just so wrong. why did you allow your daughter to live with him? she's still a minor and you can take your daughter back


myLot reputation of 90/100. lisa0502 (995)   ranked 1,563 out of 23,118 in relationships  1 year ago

I can not take her back. The law also states here that she can leave at the age of 16. She had walked out of her moms at the age of 14 and the cops did not do anything. Only because we knew where she was at. They said that it would be a waste of their time.

I can understand that the ways in country are different. But here in Canada and the U.S.A. we do not APPROVE of any 16 year old marrying anyone. I am sorry but realistically looking at it there is no way that a 16 year old girl has the know how of love. We do not want to see our kids married off at a young age and just become baby factories and house wifes. We want our girls to get an education and make something for themselves, not rely on a man.

This is insane. So you're saying it's WRONG because the law says it is. But in countries where the law says it's okay, it's perfectly okay. People are people, what's it matter where they live? Either you think it's okay or you think it's not. Have you tried thinking for yourself?

Try this... what if you and your daughter were born in Goharayub's country? Would you still have a problem with your daughter being with a 30 year old?

well actually there are young people who really likes older partner for they think they will be nurture and they will be loved and this situation too makes them a better person as mostly of the older people are mature about the relationship and responsible.


myLot reputation of 90/100. lisa0502 (995)   ranked 1,563 out of 23,118 in relationships  1 year ago

I can understand wanting someone older and more mature but I do think that 16 is a little young to be doing this at. I am only 1 year older than my daughter's boyfriend. It is really hard to see her become a housewife when she has so much to learn and experience.


Ghost_In_The_Machine (94)   ranked 21,070 out of 23,118 in relationships  1 year ago

So you had your daughter when you were 15?

First of all I think that the government does need to tell people what age is appropriate because other wise adult a$$holes would be knocking up little kids then buggering off. Just because she can cook or clean does not mean that she is old enough or mature enough. And I never said that everything is going well.


myLot reputation of 94/100. sid556 (10505)   ranked 1,173 out of 23,118 in relationships  1 year ago

I have daughters and I really have to agree with Lisa here. I remember being 16 and thinking I was far more mature than I really was. I also remember looking at hot older guys and oh...what I wouldn't have given if they paid attention to me. Most did not but I did at 16 date and have a very involved relationship with a 22 yr old man. I was deeply, madly in love with him. He was my world. Unfortunately, he just liked younger girls and got one of my friends pregnant. I was crushed. I was not emotionally ready at 16 to handle that and thankfully, I was not the one to get pregnant out of the deal. It is very rare that a respectful man of 30 would even glance twice at a 16 year old. Yes...there are rare instances where because of circumstances the 16 yr old is mature beyond her years and it could work. it's rare. Most men are looking at these girls because as you said....they are "hot". As a parent...I don't like it.

That law is the same here too and I absolutely hate it. I have all daughters and I am told there is nothing at all illegal when these guys come after them if they are willing. I am legally responsible for them and if they got pregnant...I'm responsible for that too. I don't understand the law at all. At 16, these girls should be thinking about their future and focusing on their education. When my daughter was 16, she had a 22 year old after her. It was a nightmare. he could not have gotten a woman his own age and she looked up to him. I see it a lot and I have to think that the people that voted these silly laws in can not possibly have children or perhaps they are dirty old men looking to prey upon 16 year olds.


myLot reputation of 90/100. lisa0502 (995)   ranked 1,563 out of 23,118 in relationships  1 year ago

Thank you very much for you response. I agree with you totally.
