A 16 year old girl going out with a 27 year old man. What is your views?
One of my girlfriends is going out with a 27 year old man. This is legal in the UK. She says that age isn't an issue for either of them and that they are madly in love. I must admit he is a one of the nicest men i have met and treats her well. Just wanted to know what other people thought about the age gap?
Sorry she is 17 :S

I m 27 (bachelor) but I m not an old man.
As per ur eyes (17) I m an old man (27)
As per my eyes (27), my father is an old man (56).
Don't say these words here as one day you will come to this age (27) also.
May be she has just an attraction in this age (17) towards that guy (27) but it depends on guy also that in what way he is taking this girl: love/Temp GF/SEX.
Love/friendship/marriage has no age factor, its just an internal feelings, always respect for all.
If you are her true friend so just take care of her if that guy (27) using her.

Well my views on it are BULL SH!T
Im not going to judge because if we judje we will surely be judged by the lord God. Anyways this little teenager is in college jus got 2 college 16 or 17 she is still a teen. She still lives under mummy and daddys roof and still getspocket money i dont care about ema or part time judge she is a responsibilty to somebody. This 27 year old man should be aiming to settle down with a woman and children not a child whose just come out of secondary school. The only reason why he is nice to her is because he wants to get in her nickers. I hope this girl can realise that she is a girl and this man wants her nickers and she doesnt exactly know the definition and the advantages and disadvantages of love. I advice her to carry on with her school because when the worst come to the worst this man will run away and leave her. There plenty more fish in the sea, she needs to enjoy being a teenager not a 16 year old hooked up in a love game and doesnt have fun. There are plenty of things to do such as shopping men hunting beauty fashion all dem fun things that normal teenagers do. Tell this man he should pick on someone his own size and age.

Look at it like this, when she was 7, he was 17 and sleeping with women. It's basically a glorified paedophile.
However, as she gets older, the age gap will naturally close, so when she's 30 and he's 40, no one would look twice - but she is still so very young, and should be allowed to experience life, not be tied down with a man who in a few years time is going to want kids, despite her being way too young to start a family.

Everybody to their own nowadays, somehow when you said 16 i thought "pervy" then you did the edit and said 17...somehow it didnt seem as bad. Another year she could go to Timbukto with him if she wanted and nobody could stop her. Actually love can happen and last at any age for some, although personally i think that playing the field a bit is best. Just my opinion, and prob the wrong one going by some of the answers already given.

I think it's wrong a 27 year old man is taking advantage if a girl that young, I'm sorry if she was 27 and he was 37, my views may be a little more encouraging of the situation, but no, she's too young, he's too old, now I'm not to judge, because he could treat her in a very respecting way, and be just a guy who fell in love with a young girl, but still, no, I couldn't even imagine that. Sorry

It will be frowned upon by most people, but if they are comfortable and they love one another and they both are safe, then there is no problem?
Just make sure that he doesn't distract her from her studies and that he isn't using her for sex.
Just be a good friend and try not to judge her, she'll need you if everything goes pearshaped, and if it doesn't then she'll be glad you stuck by her when everyone else doubted the relationship.

WHOA prepare 4 heartbreak! Guys in their late 20's are not looking for teens unless its for sex or just using them.No matter how nice he is I dnt think he's any good 4 her but if she thinks he's cool and all then go 4 it(thats not sumthin i would do but im just 1 person).Good luck

I don't personally think its a good idea but if it was 27 and 37 it wouldn't be so shocking. I wouldn't interfer if I was you, 9unless you no something bad is happening) getting involved in friends relationships only ends badly.

Well the age gap is a lil too big, but then again if the man is true, and his feelings are real and mutual for him and the girl, then I see no problem.
