Do You Think This Is Wrong?

Question

If a 15 year old dates a 25 year old man is this wrong and why?
Personally, i dont think nothing is wrong with this, 10 years isnt a big deal to me!! So, does anyone disagree or agree?

Answer 1

This is statutory rape. If it is 10 years and it is 25 and 35, that is a whole nother ball game. Definately think it is wrong if you are under the age of 20 and there is more then a couple year age difference. I can't possibly imagine that you would have common interests as a 25 year old, as a 15 year old really knows nothing about the world, or themselves.

Oh Yes absolutely! Because a man who is 25 years of age should know better. A 15 year old is only just beginning to understand relationships. I don't mean sex but the true meaning of liking or even loving someone is not really maturely there. In a way, a 25 year old could manipulate the minor which is not a healthy thing. With that said I believe society is not strict enough on older women with minors as they are with older men with teenage girls or boys for that matter. I was 16 years old and used to date a 24 year old woman. No big deal right? If it was reversed, the 24 year old would be called a pervert or child-molester. Either way it is not right and if you feel otherwise, you should get counseling.

If the 15 year old is allowed to date and nothing remotely sexual occurs between the 15 year old and the 25 year old, then I see nothing wrong.

Why are people so moronic that they say it's illegal? It's only illegal if sex occurs. And quit assuming that sex will occur. I wonder if some of these people who answer here think that dating is just about having sex. Is that really all you do on your dates?

There's also a difference between not being able to date someone their own age and choosing to date someone that isn't. If the 15 year old has qualities that makes being with them on a date worthwhile, then what's the problem.

I suppose people who think it's wrong for the 15 year old to date the 25 year old because they are still considered to be a minor, also believe they shouldn't date anyone who is of legal age. So the 15 year old shouldn't date an 18 year old. If they don't think this, then they're being hypocrites in their arguments. In fact, the 15 year old is probably going to be persuaded to have sex from someone closer to their age than someone of consenting adult age. Or do these people believe that this is okay, for them to engage in sex as long as it's a minor with a minor, or a minor with someone just above the legal age?

Again, it is so disgusting that so many of you think of dating as having sex, it shows how little there is of you as a person beyond that. And it shows how little you actually think there is to the person asking this question, that you think the only reason someone older than them could want to be with them is for sex.

Don't take what I'm going to say the wrong way. I'm just trying to help you out. I'm 21, by the way. I disagree. 15 is too young to be dating seriously PERIOD. And a 25 year old man should be dating seriously. Ten years isn't THAT big of a difference, but it's considerable. And you are in different phases of your lives. I recommend you find someone your own age.

I know it's alluring to brag to your friends about the grown man you're dating, but relationships like that tend to be short. Not to mention illegal. I knew some girls in high school who were with older guys like that, and I don't know of a single one that is still with the same guy. Anyway, if you're going to be stupid and go ahead, you should be sure that you don't get pregnant, unless you want to be always stuck dating losers and/or men 15 years older than you. Good night!

Answer 5

I don't think 10 years is a very big age difference IF both of the people in the relationship are adults. 15 really is quite a bit young to be dating someone 25. I'd say give it a few more years and see how you feel about it then.

Answer 6

Yes it is wrong, because the 15 year old is under age. The 25 year old man should know better. A 25 yr old should not even have that much in common with a 15yr, he has graduated from high school and probably college, their priorities are different. If a 15 yr girl has anything more than sex and movies in common with a 25 yr old man, something is wrong with that man.

Answer 7

Difficult question, THIS PERSON IS 15! that is way to young to be dating a 25 year old maybe if this 15 year old were 25 and the 25 year old was 35?

Answer 8

As the 15 year old is under the age of consent, doesn't it make the 25 year old a phedophile if anything sexual happens ?

I don't think there's much difference between what a 15 year old male and a 25 year old male want in a relationship - but it all really depends on the individual.

Personally, I wonder why a 25 year old can't date anyone closer to their age group.

Answer 9

Well, I think that it is not that it is "wrong", but that (and no disrespect, as I have been 15 myself before), but what is a 25 year old doing with someone who is 15? 10 years difference later in life, when people are both legally considered adults, makes less and less difference as one gets older; but at this age you are talking about, it is very hard to think that a 25 year old would have any good and honerable intentions. As well, any sexual activity (which I would NOT advise), is considered statiatory rape, consentual or otherwise; so this is a scenario I would avoid at this point in your life. I know this advice is not easy necessarily to hear, but I think it is very important to think about. I would do your best to look elsewhere for someone in your own age range (perhaps between 14-17 years old), who shares similar interests to you. I hope this helps. Best of luck.

Answer 10

A 15 year old has nothing in common with a 25 year old man... plus it is highly perverted and illegal for a 25 year old man to date a 15 year old girl... It would be consider Child molesting.. The only reason a 25 year old man would even consider dating a 15 year old is that he can control and manipulate a child into wanting the same things he wants and that would be sex.....
