    What is that the pedos travel guide?

    I find it very interesting the sort of banner advertisements displayed on that page.

      MAN every dude I have ever known who got involved with a highschool girl said that exact quote almost word for word... What the fuck?

      One close friend of mine was TEACHING at a private school and got involved with a 16 yo student (he was 23-24 at the time) and despite repeated warnings and lectures from me he actually bought her a FUCKING ENGAGEMENT RING and proposed! While simultaneously grading her homework or something. So fucked up.

      her parents pulled her out of the school and he got fired. he's lucky they didn't press charges.

      Anyway, my point is: he said EXACTLY the same thing you did... "she's so mature, so smart, talks about philosophy blah blah blah".

        Dude you have trust issues. I suggest you ask your wife is she is fucking around on you coz you clearly have an issue with someone. Why the fuck would he make this up?

        Apart from you being stupid, I know Paul, I work with Paul, his sister is my girlfriend and I know he aint making this up.

        So get over yourself and see that the world is not what it was like 30 years ago. People date younger people all the time. The girl will be 17 in about 6 weeks. Ok its only one year older but it seems a whole lot better than 16.....

        THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH DATING HER!!!!

          Maybe because that's most often the reason older guys choose to date younger girls despite of their age?

          Personally, I wouldn't even touch the average 16 year old... or the average 26 year old or 36 year old for that matter. I base my choices in dating on intelligence, originality and personality, not on age.

                  The VAST majority of people in THIS country at least would consider a 22 year old fucking a 16 year old to be an immoral act of pedophilia.

                    Also, it seems to me that you're mistaking 16 year olds with 13 year olds. Big difference.
                    Not entirely true. You have to look at each state. Take New York for example. It depends on the age of both parties.

                      Do you even know what pedophilia is?

                      As a sidenote, not too long ago it was still considered normal for adult men to marry 14 year old girls.

                            Make you? How old are you man?

                            I can't make you, I am arguing with you on a fucking message board....

                            But all I can say is you have issues. There you go again shouting your stupid mouth off about pedophilia. The law states that pedophilia is a sex act between an adult and someone under the age of 16. Dude are you reading this properly? She is 16, turning 17 next month.......

                                    Its just wrong, as ANY parent would tell you.
                                    Second: fuck you.
                                    Third: fuck you again.


                                    If you're so fucking stupid that a 22 year old man fucking a 16 year old GIRL is an arguable topic for you then have at it.
                                    I'm bored.

                                      Let's say we withhold the pedophile bullshit for today. 22 and 16 isn't that far off and would be nowhere near pedophilia. With that being said I wouldn't do it myself just because it's not worth it, there are so many women in this world, if she's a good girl then she'll be around in another year or two, or when she's a little older. Be friends with her but don't fuck her. But hell if it's legal I guess you can do what you want, afterall we all know that the government always knows what's best for us.

                                      I just think I would be friends with her and watch out for her, if later as she got older it grew to something else then maybe then, but now I don't think I would do anything more than be her friend. But I'm not in Europe so I do know one thing it's much much different there than over here where society is so paranoid about sexuality.

                                          If it's legal go for it... I always preferred older guys. 17 is the legal age of consent in NY, so I had no problem hitting on 30 year old guys

                                                fact of the matter is, 16 is too imature. Even if your friends say she is mature don't believe it. Any bitch under 19 can be as mature seeming as they wanna be, but get them into a relationship and watch out for the indecisivness, confusion, "I don't know what I want", excessive insecurity, childishness and the funnest thing ever.. medling gossiping friends of hers.

                                                I dated a 16 year old when I was 21, lets just say she seemed mature at the time, then I got to know her and realized how much of a fuckign kid she was... typical "trying to impress friends by dating an older guy who plays in a rock band" scenerio.

                                                few years before I dated a 16 year old, she was even mor eimmature.

                                                this past summer I dated an 18 year old. Seemed so mature, own car, own house, job everything... turned out to be a slut. Waanted me to sleep with her and her best friend, then next day saying she wants her freedome so it's over... then day after missing me and wanting me... yeah,,, fuck that...... IMATURE

                                                Moral of stories are,, only date in the 20's. I have dated enough girls in their 20's to know that they have their heads on their shoulders for the most part. 16 is too young if you plan to do more than just hang out on staged playdates. What happens if you fuck this chick and she gets pregnant, her life is ruined. Or what if you get a bit too fresh and this imature brat cries rape when things don't go her way or you show interest in someone else? Think about that. Watch yourself man. adolescents aren't something you should be playing with. I was engaged at 17 to a 19 year old who pulled that shit when I wouldn't take her back a month after we broke up.

                                                              she's cute = you want to fuck her..

                                                              find some real women..

                                                              she probably plays with barbie with her friends...Everyone can play the adult game.

                                                              I went from 100 to 313,000 satoshis in 2 days! Lots of daily freerolls...

Waanted me to sleep with her and her best friend, then next day saying she wants her freedome so it's over... then day after missing me and wanting me... yeah,,, fuck that...... IMATURE

She'll probably giggle and tell all her friends first. You know how high school girls are. She'll probably carve your name in her desk at school and write you cute little notes in her school book. Then, when you dump her, she'll cry and stuff. Or when you keep her out past curfew she'll finally tell dad who is popping her and getting her in trouble.

                                                                          We'll see them on Jerry Springer soon enough.

I've been in the same relationship since I was 16 and we've never had any problems with immaturity.

                                                                                      I can't make you, I am arguing with you on a fucking message board....

                                                                                      But all I can say is you have issues. There you go again shouting your stupid mouth off about pedophilia. The law states that pedophilia is a sex act between an adult and someone under the age of 16. Dude are you reading this properly? She is 16, turning 17 next month.......
                                                                                      It's always the law..here in sweden it's legal if they are 15..do I want to fuck my sisters friends, never and I don't care about how cute they are..I'm 20 and I think it's qiet sick if I was with somone that's 15-16.

                                                                                      maybe you need to have a sister in that age to know how mature they really are.

I've been in the same relationship since I was 16 and we've never had any problems with immaturity.

I've been in the same relationship since I was 16 and we've never had any problems with immaturity.
                                                                                                    If anything guys are more immature....
