Hmm. If you were 140 years old and posting here, I'd say yep that was absolutely the norm. That was the way it was done. Men would establish themselves financially, and then choose a bride who was sexually mature but younger than himself, with the dew of youth on the rose. With her parents' full blessing.
Back then, no one expected women to establish themselves in a career. They were expected to attract a husband and keep a house and raise children and support him in his career.
Times have changed.
No, it's not typical for a 25 year old guy to be dating 16 year old girls. I don't know who you hang out with, but this is not normal. It's a sign that the 25 year old guy can't cut it with women his own age and has to rely on gullible teens to have a relationship with. Not good.
I'm 22 and the absolute lowest I would consider is slightly under 18. It's definitely not normal for 25 year olds to date 16 year olds.
What about women your own age, when you were 25? I notice they didn't appear on your list of "taken" or "dating older". I also don't buy that 18-21-year-old women are dating 30+-aged guys. Teens have no interest in much older guys, usually. That age group is usually dating college guys their own age, more or less.
The average 18-25 year old woman is not dating a man in his 30s.
^ i can see the allure of minors wanting to date someone older because they can brag about how they are so intellectual and no one in their grade level can understand them ...
but what vision33r was insinuating sounds false. that most minors (particularly girls) date men more than a decade older (i would say 1 - 2 % tops are that lucky) ?

Thank you all for your wonderful replies. I've been talking to her the past couple of days about her relationship. She is Wisconsin, so it's very illegal there if they're having sex. I just messaged her that "your father would be very upset if he knew you had a boyfriend and you didn't tell him. Your father and mother love you very much, and they just want what's best for you. You just have to ask yourself why he doesn't want to meet your family, why he doesn't want to pick you up from school, and why he doesn't want to be seen with you, that isn't healthy or normal for a relationship. I just want you to be safe and protected." I didn't mention the whole legality thing because I know she knows that it's very illegal. I didn't tell her parents, I want her to tell me if things start going south. She hasn't told her parents yet but I told her if she doesn't tell them within a week I will have to tell them.
Did she respond to that message? It's not just about feeling safe, it's about knowing what a healthy relationship looks like, and having the confidence and self-esteem to hold out for a relationship that makes her happy. If she was crying, and her bf gets angry with her just because she'd like to see him during the week, and "dates" are limited to hiding out indoors at his place, I can't see how that would make for a happy, fulfilling dating relationship.
When I was 25, I was dating 16-17 yr old girls. Because girls 18-21 are dating guys that are 30+ Now I noticed some 27 yr old ladies dating guys in their mid 40s and 16-17 yr old are dating guys that are 20-27 yr olds.
Nah. Twenty-five year old men who date high school girls are either extremely immature themselves, or like an imbalance of power in their romantic relationships. Women their age own can sniff that out a mile away.
