Hi. Long time reader, first time poster.
I found this in a fitness forum. A guy, 22, wants to have sex with a girl who's 16. I'm the dad of a 1 year old daughter. I am worried about her enough as it is, but I cant think of how much I'd worry about this if this was my daughter. I'm angry about this guy doing this, am I right to be angry? What would you do if your daughter was in this situation? Last edited by angellous_evangellous; 10-04-2007 at 04:50 PM. |

If it was consenting...

My best friend in high school was 16 when she dated her 22 year old boyfriend. Her parents knew about it and they were cool with it. She was a virgin as well, and she eventually married him. They were a very happy couple last time I talked to her. i see nothing wrong with it as long as she is consenting. It's nothing but a 6 year age difference, no big deal.
Oh and welcome to the forums as well. I also voted not sure cuz I can't be 100% certain you don't have a right to be angry. You can be angry at whatever you want. |

I voted "no". But I understand your concern. She has to learn to make her own choices though...

I don't think I'd want my daughter consenting at that age, even if she legally could. Maybe I'd feel differently if I were convinced she was able to care for and support a child if one resulted, but that's too young in my view. I guess I'm just a grumpy old guy.

If it is legal, I see less wrong with it, but I'd be more comfortable if she were older than 18.

If he's not willing to step up to that level of committment, then yes I do have a problem with it. I've met some couples that were of similar ages whose dedication was obvious, but the intent was more than just having sex. And I've met some guys in their 20s who wanted to have sex with 16 year old girls because, quite frankly, they had personal problems ranging from insecurity to pedophilia. No thanks. I'd be angry if such a man came around my 16-year old daughter. He'd back off or be speaking to the education committee, I expect. |

I would naturally be disappointed, though, if my sixteen-year-old daughter got involved with a 22-year-old guy whose blog is called "Becoming a Pickup-Artist: Giving Life the Middle Finger." I would at least have a long talk with her about choices.
