It is a shitty situation, but, well, it's not unexpected that this has happened. As Tim said, he fucked a 15 year old girl. Did he think he'd get a medal.
And while it may have been better if she were 16, I'm still not convinced of the overall health of a relationship where one part is pushing 30, and the other has yet to graduate from high school.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Because, as we all know, 15-year olds can't possibly think for themselves yet, let alone be capable of freely make choices in their lives, while 16-year olds are so mentally mature as to be considered adults. Abso-fucking-lutely.

Well, I'm not quite sure about the exact details of that law in Germany, but my girlfriend was 16 when we first ... you know ... while I was 22 then. I don't suppose that it was illegal in any way. (I think 16 is the line where it becomes legal - whatever the age of the mate). Oh and even then she was already mature enough to think for herself. I didn't urge her to anything of that kind.

yes im 22 and ive been out with a few younger girls lately.. i dont know what ill be doing when im shiks age, but i dont think he is a predator or anything like that, ive talked to him enough to know that hes not the kind of guy who goes after girls who are young, he just screwed up by being in a relationship with a girl who is young. its a big difference and i think that namecalling really isnt accomplishing anything except make this conversation all the more distasteful.
