He was live on Radio 5


He has a book.


He is right
50 year old marrying a 18 year old girl
is well creepy

It's weird, but in that situation she's legal age, so it's not as creepy to me as the real creeps that like to go for younger.

I always think what could a 50 year old man or woman possibly have in common with an 18 year old boy or girl ??. But we all know there's very little talking happening .

But 18 is legal, but yeah it's still weird. I find it creepy when they have kids the same age or when the kids are actually older than their significant partner.

....he always reminded me of someone and I could never think who...thats exactly who he looks like.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Agree its beyond creepy

[Oliver_W]

I'm not 30 and I'd feel like a creeper going for an 18 year old, let alone in 20-odd years!!

[michael21]

I think there was some thing like this 2 years ago when a 19 year old girl married a 76 year old

this is an incredibly discriminatory viewpoint. Why is it more of an issue when marriage is involved vs not being married. At what point is a friendship between a younger and older person problematic. Should older people never associate with younger people in fear of being called an old perv?

People find friendships and love in the most unlikely settings, and I think it's very wrong to say something is wrong just because their is an age gap, particularly if it is perfectly legal. The only way we move forward as a society is if we understand different peoples viewpoints and outlawing relationships between young and old is only going to increase divisions and lack of understanding

My daughter was still going to school when she was 18, if a 50 year old started sniffing around her there would be a big problem....

Yes I can understand that.

Exactly nobody wants their own kids getting pursued by someone older enough to be their mum or dad, you question their intentions and it raises suspicion.

But when they reach 18 , legally they're an adult
All you can do is advise them .

it is still discriminatory. If you are outlawing something purely on the basis of age, it is ageist, plain and simple.

Its also creepy, wrong, and ridiculous.

People could change 18 year old to 16 year old or 14 year old and make the same argument. Why even go there?
