Think most 17 year olds can make an informed decision. Agreed. Can vote, get married, own a house, have sex, legally have kids, work full time, the list is endless. Just don't get into a relationship with somebody who's 31 even If you want to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m merely saying that you cannot whine about insults if you are throwing them out yourself. On two separate posts on this thread you have done exactly that. Take a read back? Don’t make anymore of a cunt of yourself. 😂🙈 You said I thought it was cool what Styles did which was a lie. You then tried to make me look like a cunt as you had or have no evidence of this. Now why don't you grow up. I think it is very sad that she took her own life but people like you just want to go on about what what is morally right or wrong. Have some respect.

"Sorry pal, you can't get married today, your bride is too old". Bonkers. Which is cool if he’s marrying a lassie in the same region. There’s a difference between someone in their 30s appreciating that a 17 can be attractive but to want to then shag them is as morally wrong as fuck.

PapofGlencoe Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 against my expectation i have to say im against what i'd usually call decent posters' opinion here. A 31 year old going with a 17 year old, although legal, is at the limits of what most would frown upon. I think if you're talking over 35 it's getting into creepy category. They also can't have a shandy or get in a nightclub so we don't even class them as full adults yet and I don't see any clamour to change that. I think the brain does a lot of developing between 17 and 20. It's not clearcut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaid Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 A 31 year old with having a sexual relationship with a 17 year old no problem whatsoever whatsoever with that. A 42 year old texting a 16 year old on the other hand is a sexual predator. Context and the nature of the relationship - not whether its sexual - between the two of course is everything.

PapofGlencoe Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 i really don't agree like! there comes a point when having a sexual relationship with a 17 year old is definitely creepy and should be frowned upon. If it's not 31 it is not far off it. No-one I know would get away with that without people seriously thinking there's something up there.

thplinth Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I wonder how the folk who have no problem with it would feel if their (hypothetical) 17 year old daughter/son brought home their new 31 year old boyfriend/girlfriend. It might be legal but it feels off. Anyway I do think the reactions are different if this was an older guy trying to shag a 17 year old on their tv show or whatever it was... Bit of the Harvey Weinsteins about it. Interesting that blokes (judging from on here) seem surprisingly ok with this and it was women who were digging her up about it.

Folk might disagree with it, doesn't mean they are right. I know somebody who's been with their wife since she was 29 and he was 17. They've been married almost 15 years now. Will I let them know that TAMB disapprove? As you say it's not clear but folk seem to have made their mind up on Styles/Flack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 100% would not be happy if my hypothetical 17 year old son or daughter was having a relationship with a 31 year old but beyond giving advice etc there’s not much you can do.

As you say it's not clear but folk seem to have made their mind up on Styles/Flack! being blunt about it yeah, in my opinion, there is a legitimate societal unease about a 29 year old going out with a 17 year old. Should we legislate against it? no. there's a difference when you're mentally matured. I don't believe it's at 17. I think you've got a responsibility when you're older to think about someone who is immature. You can get married at 16, that's legal as well. Some would be saying bonkers out loud but most would be thinking it. I'm not in faovur of the gender debate around this and think the Flack story is tragic. Only commented because I thought it was weird so many thought 17 to 31 was unremarkable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDYER63 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 It shouldn't make a difference but I think relationships in ‘celebrity world’ are often viewed different to the ‘real world’. I probably would be a little concerned if my 17 yr old son or daughter introduced me to their 31 yr partner but I think there is more of an acceptance of a wide age gap between 2 celebrities. Harry Styles was part of One Direction who attracted a massive amount of publicity .If he managed to cope with touring, Simon Cowell , and all pressure of the X factor circus then I doubt a romp with Caroline Flack was of much concern to him.
