As promised, I have kept quiet about this thread since the end of last week.
However, I am surprised that most of those who normally speak up about this type of thing have not verbally crucified this man. Some of you have, once again, opened up your yaps before you know the whole story !
So many times I will open a thread and see alot of you completely trashing a man for "taking advantage" of the "poor victim" who lied about her age just so she could get laid by an "older man".
You may not want to believe it, but this thing happens thousands of times daily around the world.
Sometimes without consent but most are consensual.
Now, I'm not going to get into the conflict of whether what they did was right or wrong, legally or otherwise.
However, I will say this. Young girls go after older men for sex because teenage boys don't make the grade when it comes to having "real sex". You know what I mean, no explanation is necessary. "Wham Bam, thank you Ma'm". They don't do it to get the guy in trouble or to spite their parents. It's just plain curiosity.
What bothers me is when people trash the man for "allowing this to happen", by crucifying him verbally
to the point where everyone thinks him a villain.
I am so sick of hearing or reading this BS I could puke !
All you male (or female) hypocrites out there, (you know who are). You sit back in your easy chair, and write your opinion of this guy, laying out your trash talkin' about what should happen to him or what you would do to him if you were the girls father. Horse Crap !! Truth of it is, there are few men out there who would not want to "Tag" a 16 year old girl. Age is of no consequence, married or single, from 16 to 91, men dream of doing these young women. This guy had a shot at sackin' out with a 16 year old and he took advantage of it. I doubt many of you would do it any different if you had been in his shoes. They all have their own personal reasons for doing it if the opportunity arises.
Some "just because", some are curious, some remember when, others because the wife seems to have forgotten how to take care of herself after having her babies (which is another story) and now looks like a sherman tank. I'm not saying men don't do this also, so let's not argue over that.
Now, to make one thing clear. Men "DO NOT" go out and purposely look for young girls to have sex with and most of us don't hit on them when we see one we wouldn't mind doing the "wild thing" with.
Even if they hit on us, we are still quite hesitant to indulge because of laws set in place by old fuddy duddy lawmakers who are jealous because they aren't getting any of it. (Or can't do anything if they tried)
However, when they say they are of age and are willing, that makes us think, "well, maybe one time won't hurt and it sure would be nice", so here we go !
Now, I know I'm probably going to get alot of flack from this because most of you pantywaiste men out there won't admit it. You might get a rolling pin upside your head if you do. But if you can't admit it then stop crucifying the guys that take advantage of something that was God given and is as natural as sitting in a chair, drinking a beer to relax.
"I know some of you out there are picking your jaws up off the floor right now,"
Wow Luke !! I know I am picking my jaw up. This is so unlike you to get this fired up over something like this.
You seem to be getting more outspoken as you get older !
Anyway Buddy, I agree with you except for the 24/7 part. Ya can't watch them all the time. Ya gotta let 'em grow up. Just be vigilant and try to spend as much time as possible teaching them to be selective of whom they date.
I'm 62 and still have thoughts everytime my daughter brings her friends home.
I just don't follow through on them, even though ........well, those kids know how to flirt with Dad. Hell, I don't just give her money. I end up giving all of them money, like they are my kids too ! Go figure.
