I hear what you're saying but there is another side to why we have the law at the age it is.
The idea is that while a boundary is needed to protect young girls from predatory men... one is also needed to protect full grown men from "hormone flaring" young girls.
A 16 year old actively seeking sex can appear fully developed and lie about her age to get what she wants.
Very few 14 year olds appear fully developed.
As for my 16 year old love life... Hehe... I dated a girl who I thought I was in love with sure.. but I dated women when I was 19, 24, and 26 who I thought I was in love with too.
Why are my 16 year old feelings not valid yet my 19, 24 and 26 year old ones are?

Guys instead of encouraging, maybe we should just tell him to stay away from that girl. Because no matter how you look at it, no matter how this 16 year old wants sex, it's just not right and it will never be right to have a relationship with a minor and i'm talking about today not 200 years ago. This is for his safe, because he can be in serious trouble for touching that girl.
And theres a huge difference between a 16 year old and a 19 year old or a 24 or a 26 year old. Because girls think more maturely when their 18 and they can do stupid stuff below that age.
