    She's getting a lot of flak, and he's also getting a lot of Flack.

    I imagine the reaction would be very different if it were a 32 year old man and a 17 year old girl.

    Clear breach of the Italian rule here - half her age plus seven means she should restrict her cradle-snatching to the over 23s.

    The rule I heard was half + 1, but that could be the Pervert Rule.

    I read on another website that she wouldn't confirm a romantic relationship with him, just a friendship, but I just can't see it working. It's not the age gap, just his actual age.
    So say,that the other rumours are right, and Niall is with Amelia Lily and Zayn with Perrie,what kind of group date would that be with one of the girls almost a generation older! :eek:

    I've heard many variants (the French rule, etc) but all tend to specify half plus six or seven, which is a wee bit of a perv's charter anyway the older you get. The origin is supposedly that in Italian peasant culture it's unseemly to go gallivanting with someone younger than that sum. At 50, you're dating 32 and up, which is just about fair enough. If you're a 50 year old with a 26 year old then you're Salman Rushdie dogging after boobies in NYC. Not classy. Scale it back down the years and you could have a 30 yo with a 16 yo. Defo paedo territory in my book.

    He's not even legally able to drink yet, and is only just legally able to have sex.

    Is he the over- excited Irish fella?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,289 ✭✭✭parker kent


    I find it a bit odd. Age gaps wouldn't necessarily be an issue for me, it is just that he is 17. He isn't even legally an adult yet. I just can't see how they would have anything in common. He just should not be at the maturity level that a 32 year old woman would normally expect in a boyfriend.

    I think she is definitely living out some form of fantasy she had in years gone by of snogging somebody in a boyband. Fine when she was 17, a bit odd when she is double his age!

    Nooo Niall is the guy with the blonde hair - he's from Mullingar :D Liam is from the UK. He had the Bieber haircut at one stage.

    Good man Harry, give her lead!. I hope she doesn't tell him about Santa Clause!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,296 ✭✭✭EdenHazard


    Fair play Harry


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,004 ✭✭✭Sugarlumps


    How’s yer man going to handle that man eater? 32 are you kidding me, she looks 42 and that’s being generous.

    What’s that twat going to do……. finger bang her? The lucky bastid! I’d say the Da can’t wait to meet her.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 304 ✭✭Arianna_26


    I think that Caroline Flack must have some serious issues if she would rather go out with someone who is barely over the age of consent than someone her own age.

    How can that in any way be an equal relationship when she is so much older?

    She is either trying to get in early because she thinks One Direction will make a packet or else she is sick.

    As for him, well he's a developing teenage boy - hormones etc.

    Or else it could be the latest in the low levels X Factor sink to every year by releasing some "gossip" or "scandal" or "relationship" in order to keep the show in the top end of the ratings and people fall for it every time. See how long this "relationship" lasts after the final.

    Ah....not too fussed about this, zelebs commit worse offences imo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,130 ✭✭✭Azureus


    Really do not see what the big deal is to be honest. So she's 32? Hardly ancient is it. He's 17, he's an adult (yeah yeah barely etc etc) and hes able to make his own mistakes. Lets be honest, he's gonna be having sex etc anyway-so what difference does it make WHO hes sleeping with.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,087 ✭✭✭hunter164


    Fair play to him I'd love to be giving it to her!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,838 ✭✭✭StupidLikeAFox


    As pointed out to me the other day, she was getting her first period the same time his mother realised she missed hers!

    I guess some people look at the menstrual cycle as half-full :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,047 ✭✭✭Da Shins Kelly


    If she was a bloke and he was the girl, I think there'd be more outrage over this rather than the 'nice' reaction that it seems to be getting. Not saying that people should be outraged - they can do whatever they want - but it's an interesting double standard.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,296 ✭✭✭EdenHazard


    what about that cradle snatcher selena gomez she gets off lightly.

    If they were going to see a horror movie that was rated 18s he could be stopped going in to see it because he was too young.
    He can still get the children's fare on the bus and other public transport systems (I think).

    When this is a possibility you know the age difference is too much.
