Go for it man. You have nothing to lose and EVERYTHING to gain. It doesnt work out and who cares? You got to go all in with an 18 year old girl. Just be sure she's legal and dont knock her up.
Not to change the topic, but there is no such thing as a "drug" unless you are speaking of pharmaceuticals. It's a blanket term and scare word. Marijuana is a plant, not a "drug" and I'd rather be a pothead than an alcoholic or cigarette addict.
Reading the posts in here, I am not sure if I should laugh or cry.....it has change the way I veiw certain people in here.....
Let's flip this the opposite way: She is in her 40's and he is 18. Should mothers be loading shotguns? Should mothers be ready to put someone in the hospital? And I did have this happen to me when I was 19, she was in her 40's, we went on one date. She said I reminded her too much of her son.
OK to put it out there, and this is only my humble opinion. A man should not date a woman who is under the age of 25 who is not within 3-5 years of his age and should never be with a girl under the age of 18 when they are over 18 unless they were dating prior to him turning 18 and it falls with in the 3-5; more so the 3 in this case). After the woman is 25+ I don't care who she chooses to be with.
I see it as the same, mind you when I was 18 I didn't. That is the problem, at that age people tend to make poor choices.
I'm gonna need you to put that into a chart, so I can understand it. I think the they have to be at least 21, and the difference in age between the two of you should not be more than her age.
Smart choice. I hear they have good kiddie booths. Perhaps she can order off the kid's menu and get a discount for dressing in her halloween costume after you take her trick or treating?
Damnit! I should have taken her out yesterday!!! Kids eat for free on Tuesdays. I'm such a dumbass...
And aren't you as a parent doing your adult child a disservice by not letting them make their own mistakes? Please don't take this as calling you a bad parent, I am just looking for clarification
Let me flip this, why do you think it is ok for a man to be with a girl young enough to be his daughter?
you guide your kids as much as possible. You don't just say oh well he/she has to learn on their own and walk away lol It's a happy medium in my opinion.
We are both adults. You would not have a problem with an 18 year old man dating a 40 year old woman would you? What's the difference?
LOL. By the way, you're probably gonna have to buy a new suit.... b/c the one you wore for your last prom will look outdated this time around.
At 18 I could not stop my daughter from being with a man my age, nor would I try. I however have the freedom to kick the *** of said man at the cost of my freedom. I never said an 18 your old should not be able to make the choice, I am saying a "man" at the age of 30 should not be trying to put a 18 yo in a place to make that choice.
sometimes it is. sometimes it isn't. again a happy medium. Think back to when you were a kid. Sometimes orders worked, sometimes being talked to worked. It depends on the person and situation.
I did, and by your own standard: Would lead me to believe that the situation I laid out is not cool in your eyes. Am I still wrong in believing that?
me personally I don't think someone matures "enough" as it were, till around the age of 25. That's just me though.
And I don't disagree with that one bit. I even mentioned maturity gap being a big problem in the original response to the OP. What I do disagree with is the general 'any guy that touches my daugher is dead or deserves an *** whipping' crowd, who would more than likely buy their son a beer for banging a 30+ year old when they were 18.
Is that a Stella in your hand? At least your preference for beer is better than your preference for women. ......
Women, especially young ones (or late teens) are much more sensitive and fragile than guys, so IMO the 2 situations aren't comparable. If fathers were buying their 35+ year old sons a beer for banging an 18 or 19 year old, then that'd be another story.
well yeah, but men have a habit of being more protective of women then other men. Now ask your mama how'd she feel about that 30+ banging you at 18. My mom would have beat that ***.
For the mainstream beers it's ok (compared to Bud, Mich, Coors, Natty Ice, Corona, crap etc). It's certainly not my beer of choice when quality options are available like the Ballast Point Sculpin IPA, Victory Prima Pils, and Bear Republic stuff (Hop Rod Rye, Racer 5 IPA, Red Rocket Amber Ale) that I drank this weekend. But for a more readily available and more sessionable beer, it serves a purpose IMO.
Sensitive and fragile my ***. Girls start becoming vicious evil *****es at about the ripe old age of 15 or so, imo. Haven't you seen the movie Mean Girls? LOL
