She'll be 17 when they get married... You know, I'm starting to think that the point of 'young kids marrying back then' is an illusion, as people are STILL getting married at a young age. Generally we have it that the average has gone to favor people in their mid to late 20's.

though I find it a bit more disturbing when they're marrying at <18 and the groom is five, six, seven years her senior.

I especially rue that when it's someone I know and I'M STILL BLOODY SINGLE!

I actually don't mind huge age gaps between relationships. I mean, I don't want a 12 year old getting married, but as far as I see it, 15+, as long as the person is mature, is perfectly fine.

Yeah, I think I'll try to drop subtle hints, but if that doesn't work, I'll just tell it to her straight. I hate to hurt people's feelings if they like hanging out with me, but I seem to do it a lot. /: -cold person-

On the internet I'm much nicer, apparently. XD I'm not sure exactly why. I guess I don't go out and try to befriend everyone like I do online. and I smile a lot more. -makes a tired/sad look a lot in real life-

My natural face is a mixture of boredom/depreessed-ness.
This sucks because most of the time I'm perfectly happy and I continually get people asking me "Are you okay" which makes me want to punch someone ><

If you want something that's actually more natural, walk through the streets with a crazed/manic/hyper look in your eyes. I do it all the time.

I don't mind age gaps as long as they're past twenty. Because if you're still in High School, you're incredibly naive to the real world. I am as well, I admit that. It's nearly certain that guy's using her.

My natural face is kind of a childish one. I dunno. I look young I guess, it's kind of a slight smile.

You think thats disturbing?
You don't even want to KNOW about little lupe

I really wish my cousin would have just not shown me what I saw...

And yeah, thats a bit odd. If the parents don't mind, then hell, let her marry. Love isn't restricted to age, and by 15, we can fall in love, and know when its real.

Fisk, I have NO advise for you. This one dude back at my old school was gay, and he sat next to me on the bus. I knew he was gay, and it creeped me out BIG TIME. What was worse, is when he leaned over, and layed on me. I elbowed him right in face, really darn hard, and he started crying and bleeding, and although he really deserved it, I did feel like quite the douche.

Violence won't solve problems, but maybe you should just be verbally violent. A lot of people would completely understand your frustration. Any other advise, would be hangin around with a prettier girl, so that she'll be attracted to her instead XD

My real Poison team in BW2. They all have perfect natures and EV's. I went the extra distance and bred the right IV's into them. Come at me bro.

Don't go with the homophobe, kids. People that tend to bash gay people usually haven't even really met a gay person (I know ZV says otherwise, but fighting is NOT the way to get to know ANYONE). So what? He's gay, doesn't change the fact that he's still a human being. Not to mention, Gay hate is about the same as misogyny in terms of source. So that'd mean that ZV beating up someone like that would mean... that he's doing the same as douchebags that treat women like dirt.

[/rant]

Anyway... concerning young marriage... There's a reason why you'd have to be a legal adult to get married... Getting a real taste of real-world responsibilities outweighs getting married at a younger age. There's a reason for everything, because you may THINK that you'll be able to do fine if you're 15 and on your own... But understanding the points of being an adult can only be done if you already have real experience being 100% independent of your parents/family.

NOT TRUE.
Point #1. If you tried to force yourself onto a woman, you'd get slapped right? He was a guy, and I have no problem hitting men, especially if they try to kiss me :o

Point #2. I would never hit a girl, and you know it. I'm just not that kind of guy. I'd never treat a woman any differently than the way she wanted to be treated.  

Point# 3. I bet JQ is gay, and thats why he's defending his sexual preference!
:P

(After viewing both points...) And gender should determine whether or not s/he gets treated the way s/he wants to be treated...how? Kind of unfair, if you ask me, giving immunity to one gender and not the other... Although I do understand that you must never hit a girl (really, no man should), you really shouldn't hit guys, either. Unless, of course, your very life is at stake and you have no chance of retreating.

However, I must say that this advice of yours...

...was hilarious. :P



Advanceshipping and Rion had better be Chuck Norris approved.

I don't believe there's anything really wrong/sick with it, I just think it's a bit stupid. I mean when you leave school and go to university or start working the amount of new people you meet is huge. In school you stay with the same people for about 7 years.

Jesus, ZV. Are you a homophobe or what?

I mean you're on a bus. You're going to get uncomfortably close to someone sometimes and they may take advantage of that. Elbowing people in the face is going too far. You should feel like the little douche after that.

After 16, I don't care if they get married. It's their choice, wise or not. Age difference doesn't really bother me. That guy seems to be using her, though.

Seeing as we are on the topic of age gaps in relationships, a 50 year old waitress hit on me today, just thought i'd let you all know
