Age Barriers in Romance

The youngest girl I dated was 19 when I was 26 and, for me, that was a fucking gargantuan gap. Girls at that age are barely mature enough to not giggle when they see Orlando Bloom with his wavy golden locks in The Lord of The Rings and yet, there I was, trying to make a relationship with this broad who was still very much a fucking child in her own head.

Last year I was dating this girl who was 21 and I was already 29 which makes that about an 8 year gap. That seemed a little more manageable since we got along great and even though she could be quite immature sometimes, she was mostly level-headed enough to be called a full-grown woman. Still, the whole thing fell apart because I caught her making out with (get this) HER HUSBAND after work. Live and learn and all that jazz.

Having said all this, my new acceptable age gap for dating is 4 years and not a day younger. Perhaps when I have someone closer to my age it won't be such a disparate mess to deal with.

Then again, it's not like I'm actively searching for a girl at the moment but I figure that a 4 year difference is acceptable for most people.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Still a bad idea if you actually KNEW she was 17.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Age of consent varies from country to country, so yes, I do believe it. In Mexico it's as low as 15 in some regions. But this cat I quoted lives in the US (if his country of choosing is correct) so why would he think it's OK to ask out a 17 year old girl when he was 22?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

That's not monogamy, buddy. That's celibacy... And celibacy can kill you.

That's right. Your NUTS WILL EXPLODE.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I play video games, attend weekly pub crawls, kill kittens for sport, steal wheelchairs from senior citizens and I'm the Mexican ambassador to our local chapter of the KKK... Still doesn't explain why you think "not fucking" is the definition of monogamy.

I was speaking idiomatically.

PIXPLZ~

FELIPE NO

I'll say, he bumped a thread that got killed by boring fucking squares in the first place.

GARGANTUAN BALLS.

No one is imposing their morals on you, you arrogant priss. This is common sense. I mean, I understand that with a lot of you kids it's not as common as one might think but a guy can dream, can't he?

Sure, things aren't perfect (what relationship is?) but we're good together. I'm more than happy to give the relationship the time and patience that it deserves. We share a lot of interests and enjoy each others' company. If I didn't like her personality, why would I stand by her for this long?
Of course there are sexual thoughts on my mind- I won't deny that, but I'm plenty capable of maintaining self-discipline. This is a non-issue.

I don't think you're reading this properly, chief. See, you're are 18 years old and are dating a girl who is 15. You started dating her when you were 17 and she was 14. You admitted that she's not "ready" for... well, anything really. Do you know what this means? You are dating a child. A CHILD. You are an ADULT.

ADULT 8===D Child

Do you see the difference? I mean, even my students in elementary school have their little hormonal crushes on each other but their classmates are all the same age and they're supposed to grow up together. Perhaps when they get to high school and are 14, 15, 16, etc. they can start to date each other as well and that'll be fine because they're all of comparable age. When you start robbing cradles and get uppity because daddy doesn't like it, I think the issue might be lying a bit deeper than we think.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, no kidding. I'm curious as to how bad of a cradle-robbing kiddie fiddler your "boyfriend" really is.

Either you just condoned pedophilia or you're worse at simple arithmetic than a kindergarten student with autism. For your sake, I hope it's the latter.

But I doubt it.

Correction. It had quieted down without you and now you brought it back to life like a pseudo-intellectual Messiah resurrecting armies of rotting corpses.

Speaking of older guys with way younger girls why not address Hugh Hefner owner of Playboy magazine. That old goat has 3 girlfriends all 30 something while he is 82. Is that considered sick or make him seem like a pedophile? The girls are in their early 30s or late 20s and its not like they have the mind of an underage girl..

Bitch, you must be trippin'! Hugh Hefner is my personal hero. Don't you EVER disrespect that man in my presence or I will smack the taste out of your ass so hard your kids will inherit the bruises.

I'm sure he pays them to be his girlfriend but then again no one paid anna nicole, she was just banking on getting a piece of the will.

WHAT? Marrying a rich fart to live off him?


INCONCEIVABLE!
