How Young is too Young to Date?

How old are you? Seven?

I’m 82 and she’s 75, the little minx.

AC, LoRez

Thanks for your responses. I appreciate you guys spending the time to share your perspective and respond to what I wrote. In some areas I do not agree, and I think I was misunderstood a bit, as LankyMofo pointed out, BUT I do respect your opinions.

Oh, I thought you were going by the half your age plus seven formula.

The half your age plus seven formula seems to get better the older you get.

Just to clarify, since the thread took on a life of its own, which is fine, I chose not to pursue this. Several of the responses in this thread, early on, convinced me to forget going further with this, so it actually served a legitimate purpose to solicit others’ opinions.

We sometimes have no way to know through what lens someone else is going to view our actions. A few of the guys on here who are parents hold a perspective that, while I might have respectfully disagreed with their take on judging the situation, would prove to be problematic for me in real life if similar beliefs were found in this community and taken to the school administration. Schools are highly political places. The community does care, to a moral extent, who is working with their kids. It’s probably just not worth it. This is, in my opinion, the biggest drawback to teaching, FYI.

My bf is 7 years older than me.

He is a pervert.

My wife is 12 years younger than me.

We’re both perverts… just in different ways.

Either way, glad to see you were able to come to a conclusion on your issue.

the age gap between people in a relationship isn’t what i’m referring to, per say[/quote]

Then what, exactly, are you referring to? That I made the statement that it was “winning”? An obvious pop culture reference to Charlie Sheen who is famous for his hookers and blow? So I made a funny and you got your panties twisted?

Grow the fuck up.

To be “fair”, you would express your disgust evenly and not direct it solely at me with drive by, passive aggressive attacks. But what else could I expect from someone of your generation? With a few exceptions notwithstanding, you GYPSY’s (Gen Y Protagonist & Special Yuppie) are a bunch of feminized, skinny jean wearing, entitled, narcissistic, privileged little hipsters who never had to EARN a god damn thing in your pathetic little lives. So how COULD you know about what WINNING is? After all, you got trophies for participation.

But you think I’m ANGRY, and a CHICKEN… For the record, my screen name is an actual nickname that’s based on a joke about one of my tattoos.

So I’m ANGRY, huh? Well, let’s just say I’m just like a mirror - I reflect back EXACTLY what I get… Tenfold.

As for being a CHICKEN, look who’s the one cutting and running here, buddy…

If you had an OUNCE of back bone, you’d march your pathetic little ass back into this thread and argue your position instead of departing with a one liner. But that’s not gonna happen, now is it?

No doubt, he could be hitting up the spry 48 year olds.

you say I got my panties in a bunch, yet you can’t stop yourself from raging.

You are amusing, but you need to get over yourself. You’re mentally weak and it explains to me why you prey on the youngens.

I’m a poor kid who made it from Poland on a soccer scholarship to America,

but even to me, its very clear that you are the narcissist.

Soccer. America. Does not compute.

Raging? LOL Mentally weak? LMAO Preying on “youngens”? ROLFLMAO

Again, we have personal attacks, not a defense of your position. One might infer that your position is not held logically. But I’M mentally weak, right?

That’s alright, personal attacks are fun.

But it’s all clear to me now: you’re a SOCCER player!

I played RUGBY for more than ten years. Three knee surgeries, two screws in my shoulder and I played half a season with cracked ribs. You know, a MAN’S game…

I knew there was a reason I didn’t like you.

This sums up the difference between us, little girl. Now run along before I start “raging”. LOL
