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

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

That's right. Your NUTS WILL EXPLODE. I was speaking idiomatically. |
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
And I wasn't making a Catholic-exclusive statement. Religion generally has a pro-reproduction stance on their followers, in order to up the number of people following the path of that particular religion. Some religions allow for the marriage of underage children to an adult. That is, in my book, "child-fucking." Not that I was accusing the guy of doing this at all - or even being a part of a religion that condones this behavior - but that religion really shouldn't be a part of this thought process at all, not to mention the topic at hand. FELIPE NO |
It's amazing how my stupidity from 5 years ago sparked such a debate by accident... Here's something that I found particularly odd. Alot of people found out that I asked that girl out and even knowing what our ages were, no one seemed to think there was anything wrong with it. I thought for sure everyone was going to think I was a creep after that.

This maturity discussion is stupid and poorly placed.
First off, yes, teenagers can be significantly more mature than their contemporaries through merit of personality, the rigors of a shitty childhood, or the drive of their educations. But learning the valuable skill of delayed gratification doesn't make you ahead of the curve in other areas. By this I mean; how is having a savings account going to help you develop a Boyfriend Bullshit Detector (BBD)? How is being well-read going to tell you what career you'll build for yourself? That's what I mean by being misplaced. Just because a kid can pass as an adult in certain situations doesn't make them dateable to adults. Don't be pissed off at that. But feel free to continue the debate re: old decrepit people telling kids that they're kids; kids replying 'nuh-uh' There's nowhere I can't reach. |
I'm pretty sure I used the dictionary for my definition. Maybe it's me?
My point, however, remains that religion has no place in a conversation about "maturity." While some cultures may not all be on the same page as to what "maturity" means, there is a general standard. And I can't think of a better place for the standard than in a conversation regarding dating and what each person considers a good "age gap" therein. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

Yay, I can date 17-year-olds!

Well, in what may be a vain attempt to get this thread back on track, my own range would be about 4-6 years either way. I'm 28 (soon to be 29) and a 22 year old woman is about as young as I can go. And they'd have to be a mature 22, at that. I could see myself dating a somewhat older woman, though - I just wonder how loudly her biological clock would be ticking, given that I want to be a bit more settled before entretianing the possibility of becoming a parent. So there it is.

Thank you. I've dated women much older than myself, they still melt and giggle like women my own age when you know what you're doing. Doesn't matter. Might if I was going to get serious or get married, but for dating? Nah. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |

Hey, no need to get prissy about my religious views. It's not like I'm yakking my mouth off about God or something, merely a passive statement (albeit stupid in your eyes) that might have an effect on thought. That is, unless from what I read your hate for Christians.
I'm sure I'm sticking pretty close to that one. edit: screw that wall-of-text. It started to look more and more like my paper for class. New question: what's too old? Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher? There's nowhere I can't reach.

Now, you all know I'd love to just wade in here swinging with ethnographic content about maturity and concepts of the young bride phenomenon, but it's really sort of out of place in this argument. The question at hand is about how old or young a person must be for you to date. Not whether it's acceptable or decent or even if it's remotely rational. Take a deep breath people, you're arguing morality and religion in a thread about not wanting to fuck cougars. P.S. Stop throwing around terms like psychological and social. They hint at a definite definition, which you aren't using at all here. You're just flailing to make a point, and it isn't working. Cougars. Seriously. Let's move on. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. John Mayer just asked me, personally, through an assistant, to sing backup on his new CD.

Two people as boring as you and your girl (must be to like you) are most likely going to have a successful, turmoil-free relationship no matter what the age difference.

Really that bad, huh?

Pretty much. Two praying mantises trapped in the same jar won't fight if they're already dead.

It's not exactly as if I have no interests ... I do go snowboarding, I'm in a band, regularly attend tactical paintball games .. and various other crap.
Ugh ... sounds like I'm placing myself in a love column advert. Most amazing jew boots

You know, come to think of it, has anyone actually defined what "maturity" actually is? I mean, I understand how one can become "more mature," but how do you actually decide when someone is "mature enough?" If you ask someone that's 70 years old how mature someone should be before X do you really think it'll be the same answer as someone that's 30?
Maybe maturity is like how only those that understand how wise they aren't are truly wise.
crimsonsabre, some people just don't mesh with the more laid back lifestyle. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
