<p>Okay, I am 16, from Massachusetts, and I graduated from high school using compacted curriculum when I was 13, and I am a Harvard University Junior now. I'm not a little kid anymore, and I've reached the age where I want to date, however, due to my lifestyle and the way I grew up, which was different from most kids, I don't like girls my age or even women under the age of 24. I find even 19,20 year old college girls far too immature for me. They're 4 years older than me and still depending on their parents, while I'm nearly done with school at 16. I want to know is it okay for me to date women who are 8+ years older than me. I am tall and considered handsome so I never have a problem attracting women? Dating younger girls is really out of the question, because most chicks younger than me are just beginning high school, when I never even really went to high school. What do you guys think?</p>
<p>wow, a troll could never be more obvious.
first post + wacky story + extremely unusual situation = TROLL</p>
<p>I'm not a troll JoggerBlue. Lol, you're just jealous.</p>
<p>i think you're just gonna end up as one sad lonely 40-year-old virgin. and from what i've read in your post, it sounds like you're the immature one rather than the 19-20 year old school girls. you sound like a typical 13-year-old wanting a lady.</p>
<p>oh yeah i'm extremely jealous, i forgot to mention that [/end sarcasm]</p>
<p>schoe101- amen.</p>
<p>In my opinion, age in relationships doesn't matter...UNTIL you come to the issue of legality. (you being 16)</p>
<p>If you're only a junior, why can't you date other juniors/seniors? You say they still depend on their parents when you're nearly done with school....but you're still in school yourself....unless you're graduating early..</p>
<p>I'm sorry, but I must agree that you sound pretty immature and rather arrogant to me too. I mean, you are basically saying that people in your same situation aren't even good enough for you (not age wise, but junior in college wise). I'm not 24, I'm only 18, but I wouldn't even date you. I think you would have a pretty hard time finding a 24 year old.</p>
<p>taking the OP seriously ... I understand why you are interested in 24+ year old women ... the more important question is how many 24+ year old women would be interested in a 16 year old (however mature for their age? (and even more important might be the statatory rape laws in some states)</p>
<p>You are neither physically or mentally mature for dating anyone that old. You are only 16- go date a freshman because although they are more grown up than you, they have the closest age to you.</p>
<p>No 24+ year old woman is going to be interested in a 16-year-old, no matter how "mature." If there were one, I'd question whether there's something wrong with her.</p>
<p>yea, initially i thought your situation sounded like something you would find in a movie hehe...i do not think that finding a 24+ girl is a realistic idea...as you said you did not have the typical HS experience, that means that you probably did not have the "typical" dating experiences that most (some anyway) have in highschool, so maybe before you find the "love of your life" you should go date some freshmen, or any girl you are somewhat interested in that will be willing to date a 16 year old</p>
<p>this would allow you to develop some "girl skills" and by the time you get those down, you might be older when age doesnt necessarily make a big difference in a relationship</p>
<p>I know it's already been said, but no 24 year old woman would date a 16 year old kid. As a 19 year old, I would never date anyone younger than 18, and I would be seriously wierded out if any of my freshman friends were willing to date a 16 year old. It doesn't matter what you want, somethings just aren't going to happen (like a 24 year old woman dating a 16 year old boy). </p>
<p>Why do you want someone so much older than yourself?</p>
<p>i'd just like to say that as a 23 year old woman, i could never date a 16 year old. that's like dating someone younger than my little sister (17).</p>
<p>When I was 16 I dated a 21 year old, so its possible.</p>
<p>Well, if this is indeed a serious question - there's nothing wrong with wanting to date older women, and I can certainly understand that there can be various relationship dynamics there a person might like. I've often been partial to older men myself. However, other posters are correct in pointing out that if you have sex with anyone over the age of 21 before you turn 18, it is considered statutory rape, so keep that in mind if you intend to go further than just dating.</p>
<p>What do you mean that your college classmates are immature because they "depend on their parents," though? Are you saying that, at the age of 16, you don't depend upon your parents? Do you have a full-time job that allows you to pay your own way through school? Do you complete your own legal documents, pay your own rent, file taxes, and vote? If not, then I'd say you're at least somewhat dependent on your parents as well. That's not necessarily bad; it's just true. Few people your age have reached psychological adulthood.</p>
<p>Poor him. We ccers scared him away in record time...2 posts. lol. he was a cute troll while he lasted.</p>
<p>cute troll? i didnt know such creatures existed.</p>
<p>Wow don't any of your parents mind you guys dating older men...or women for that matter?</p>
<p>Thanks for the feedback guys. And no, I am absolutely not a troll. Like I said, my situation has made certain things difficult for me, but I just can't stand girls that are around my age. My exposure levels were too high when I was 12 to date a 16 year old then, much less now.</p>
