Thought he looked like a pervert. Should be arrested.

Fine, go to Malaysia with that.

Or Las Vegas :D

Tell that to the millions of people around the world who has it in their culture..

Not sure I really want to emulate those cultures. Although, fwiw I don't seem much of a difference between a 16 or an 18 year old girl. At 47, they both seem like childrent to me.

pretty sick in my opinion

[Dpantherman]

Grits are you sure your girlfriend can buy cigarettes?

[sunbunny]

Nothing surprises me anymore. We know a 45 year old man dating a 17 year old. He's still married, too.

Yeah my former gf is 28. We broke up about two weeks ago, sooo i'm on the hunt.

[Delhommey]

I feel sorry for any 51 year old so devoid of personality that he can stand to be in the same room as a 16 year old for hours at a time, much less marry her.

[GritsRgreat]

I don't think they're going to do much talking bro....

At least not for a while yet.

[Panthers128]

I think this is gross and he is a disgusting pedophile.

On the other hand I'm incredibly jealous.

[hank pimple butt]

LOL look how desperately he is clinging to her! He looks creepy as hell. does it say in the law that the parents have to be mentally stable to grant consent?

[Nicbsbll2]

What the hell kind of parent is going to a) allow their 16 year old daughter to date a 51 year old "man", and then b) give that same 16 year old permission to marry him?

If my daughter ever brings home a 51 year old man when she's that age, hell, if he's even 31, he's going to have about the time it takes for me to get to the gun cabinet to get the hell off my property and never come back before he realizes that he made a horrible mistake trying to get with my baby girl.

The correct term in this case is ephebephile.

If someone were to ask, I'm sure they'd give the standard "she's mature for her age". That's the line we were given.
