Older guys

Well, I guess I'm not educated enough to know those obvious things since I was raised surrounded by deaths, sounds of gunshots and many other stuff that would have blinded my sense of morality and consciousness over these matters. I guess since laws are not respected here it's ok for me, is it? Or maybe my professors at college haven't done enough either, without mentioning important figures like my parents. I've been raised surrounded by couples with a lot of age gap difference so why should I differ about what's wrong and what's right just because I'm underage? Sorry if I sound offended but this is the only way I can put this. I have never had a boyfriend so why should I know either way? Maybe I just shouldn't care about this but sometimes I find these comments kind of lacking knowledge on the matters that are being discussed. I guess it would be best for people to not judge too much before commenting. This was meant to be a casual thread anyways.

Young one wait to at least your 18 to go after older dudes. Have some self respect and honor. Just because there is violence and corruption in the world does not mean you should fall down that path too. Rise up, and stand above it. Your a otaku right, follow the lead of the Jump Heroes. Also don't get anyone arrest because you want someone old. You can wait it is easy. Go watch anime or read manga or play some video games.

It's ok Tetora, what I tried to say is that I am already aware of those things. Didn't know I should let you know that whole paragraph was sarcasm. I currently am in no way searching for a relationship given that I find it as a bothersome thing that will probably distract me from the hard career I'm taking. Thanks for the good wishes though. Repeating myself again, this is no serious thread.

There's nothing wrong with going after older males that makes you have less respect for yourself or "honor". The only issue I'd have being underage and going after older guys would be the legality of it. @Marie, I would check with your country's laws and check what the legal age is there. If you like someone right now that's older, then I'd be best if you wait the few months you have left till you're 18 to pursue that person if you want a serious relationship with them. In my opinion there's really nothing wrong with liking older guys, I like them too, but I guess the reason why people here on this thread are responding the way they are is because of the legality of it. It's only so no one in the relationship will break any laws. Personally, I've dated someone older than me when I was 17. The only thing I'd say to younger self would be to be careful and not date dangerous people. The reason why there's laws about this is for protection for the minors. Sometimes older men who date younger females end up exposing them to a lot of bad things like drugs or make them do things against their will. If you're careful and date someone who isn't a bad influence, then honestly I think you're fine. Although it is best to wait until you're of age to pursue someone older.

Right is ok I understand your motives, I thank you for those good intentions but I am no kid alright, I know how things are, I know how laws work. I published this thread just because I'm bored not because I have a crush on someone older than me nor I want to have a relationship that will put them in danger. I used my country as some relying fact that if people get killed everyday why should they care about age of consent when they can't even do something about the 20.000+ people that get killed per year here? I do care in despite of this. This was no serious thread commenting on how much I like someone older when actually I don't. You as adults should also know the difference between crushes and likings anyway, this was what I meant to say.

maria I think some can be gravitated towards older people because they want to emulate adults as youth is sometimes in a rush to grow up or is forced to for various reasons. It's a comfort to know your partner already knows what the road ahead looks like and gleaned wisdom from it. I wanted to grow up fast as a kid, I think everyone does to some extent. Here is a less serious answer to your question =p http://youtu.be/LMxTFqPET5I http://youtu.be/o8XddGIaLaU

Most young females tend to go for the older guys, why? Maybe because of security, mentally more aware of what the important things in life are "priorities" they know how to treat a female properly not like a little girl. There can be so many other things; i say this because me personally i like older women just for the fact that their mind is in the right place, they know what they want, theres no need for games.

luffy I fell for older women when I was younger too. They knew what they wanted and knew how to get it. They seemed cool to me.

While I do prefer older guys, I've never actually liked guys to be that much older than me. Like I used to be 2 years max. Now that I'm older and more settled with myself and my life goals, I still haven't changed much, just a little bit wider of a range of ages, but still only 1-2 years below me. I think that the important thing for a serious long term relationship is to find someone who can work towards mutual goals together and for me it's hard if someone is that much younger than me just because we'd probably be at different stages in our lives and it wouldn't be fair to either of us. The same is true for much older than me as well, but as we get older generally what we want out of life tends to not change as dramatically as when we were in our teens and early 20s. So it's more stable, to me at least, in that sense.
