 I know some player boy who gets off with 15-16 y/olds and he's only 13 but i know he started going to parties around 11-12. He's funny, but he won't settle down ennough to be worth anything.
i don't really like the idea of 40 somethings dating 16 y/olds cause it won't work in the long run cause he'll be quite old when she's ready for kids and that causes loads of problems. However, love is love, and it's about as controllable as a monkey on ecstacy.

 Assuming your flag is correct - the age of consent in Turkey is 18, and has been since 2004. It was previously 15. So any sexual contact is illegal until both of the participants are 18.
From my little experience of Turkey and its rules and laws regarding sex and relationships, normal morality and legal regulations are widely disregarded unless you happen to upset the local police or some local official over totally unrelated matters - in which case you can expect to have the full force of the law thrown at you for every little indiscretion you have ever done or considered doing, together with everything else they can think of that you might have done or that you can't prove you haven't done.
My advice to any man not Turkish and going to Turkey would be to avoid even glancing at any female of any age, any picture of any woman of any age, and avoid using the Internet altogether. Men of turkish nationality, however, whether they are married or not may be at liberty to enjoy sexual relations with anyone they like (preferably several at the same time) as long as the husband/boyfriend/father of the unfortunate female isn't rich, powerful and armed. Which makes it a little surprising that the divorce rate in Turkey is one of the lowest in Europe (possibly THE lowest).
Yes, all right. I know. Before someone points out that I'm being very unfair to the Turkish, I'm only explaining what I saw and experienced while I was there for a few months some years ago. It all struck me as being very bizarre indeed, and quite possibly wasn't typical of the whole country.
And it doesn't really answer your question, does it? Sorry. In mitigation for my unreasonable outburst, I would only say that it seemed clear to me the values and attitudes I saw in Turkey make it difficult for anyone not born there and living there to advise appropriately on any relationship issues for anyone who does live there.

She is now 22 and they are still very happy.Last year, I was 30 and dated a 17 year old girl. I doted on her and would have given her the world, but she had the maturity of a baby and left me for a guy of her own age who was a complete player, got her pregnant and then finished with her. I also know many 16 year old guys who have gf's of the same age and treat them with more disrespect than anything.What I am saying is that there is no age limit to love, providing the relationship is legal of course. Providing the guy treats you well and you both are mature about it, age doesn't really come into it.....unless you let it.

Young people who are still developing emotionally and physically should not actively seek or be drawn into dating someone of a much greater age than them, as they are growing and changing in their emotions with each month that passes. Also, the differences in tastes and experiences could and often do cause problem.
