You're showing an interest in this topic, while saying that people who show an interest in this topic are suspect.  That's the hypocrisy.  🤷‍♂️

That's kind of like a well practiced little rant you have there.  Anybody commenting negatively about your pet topic , has to be as interested as yourself and is therefore a hypocrite    One could be forgiven for thinking  that its only the age of consent that's holding  some back.     Thats a worry in my opinion,

However i am not so interested to waste anymore time debating this rather unsavoury topic,

I was recently back home in the mother country. Met a few old friends from school. The females looked so old and unattractive to me. What guy would want this when one can have a girl 20 yrs younger. 

 

What do you mean by "have" a much younger girl? Is this an ownership claim, or is it just about having sex?

The difference is that the man is still expected to provide the same as he did when he was young and fit.

 

No he isn't. He's expected to marry, raise a family, retire at a reasonable age, and let his 'young and fit' progeny take care of him in his dotage.

 

What's the word for a (lonely, bitter and angry) male spinster again?

Have it filmed on the phone or ask her the question near your CCTV camera that has sound recording.

Many official massage  parlours or girlie bars have underage girls. How is the client supposed to check as he can assume they are all legal ?

 

And what if there is a police raid when you are hanging around ? they will definately not loose the chance to make some grub on your wallet.

 

Remeber the "zig zag scams" at Suvarnabhumi airport where foreigners were targetted on false claims, thrown in the airport lock up jail and asked to pay 10'000 $ to be let out. Was in 2016 or 2017 not sure.....all to say is that anything is good to trap a falang for money here,  so I would just stay away from those girls below 20 in the first place no matter where.

Never assume anything!  Stay away from places with young looking girls/boys.

[Hummin]

Amazing, 600 posts about something that should be clear!

 

My take, most girls around 18, looks underage, so 🤷 it means those chasing young girls have unhealthy tendencies

I've said nothing like that at all, and you know it.  You're just attempting to use ad hom and accusations to silence someone.

 

You have shown an interest in this topic, read responses, formulated a theory, presented it, and are now engaging further on the topic.

 

I'm not ranting about anything.  I'm, as I said, pointing out the hypocrisy.

 

Like I said, I'm not actually suggesting that you are doing anything "suspect", just that you suggesting others appear suspect for showing an interest in a topic that you also show an interest in, is blatantly hypocritical.

No chance.  A man still needs to provide until his death.  To suggest otherwise is pure fantasy.

Most 18 year old girls look under 18, so if you find an 18 year old girl attractive you must be attracted to under 18 girls?  You should read that back carefully and think about how ridiculous it sounds.

I do not think there has ever been a question more near and dear to the heart or discussed more passionately by AN posters than 'what is the youngest I can get away with?'

If an 18 year old looks like a 13 year old girl, I would say that person who founds that girl attractive have a problem, not me

But how can an 18 year old girl look like a 13 year old girl?  Unless she has some sort of disability, by definition, she looks like an 18 year old girl.

 

Are you seriously suggesting that it's common for 18 year old girls to look 13, and for men to find them attractive?

 

You seem to have concocted a very weird imaginary situation in order to say that someone who wants to have a relationship with an 18 year old girl actually wants to have a relationship with underage girls.

I take it for granted everyone knows asian girls looks way younger than western, and if that look is your desire being an elderly man, ,,,

 

I rest my case, I really do not care what you think, I just stated my opinion on the case.

Ah, so the rule is you have to scale up for Asian girls, and if you're with an 18 year old Asian girl, then you must want to be with under 18 girls?  Is that it?

They had items out towards the gangway. People were looking at items and wandering into the crowd thinking they were somehow still in the store if I remember correctly.

Because in the West a 13 year old Girl looks now like she already is 18 or even more. At least as long as she has all the warpaint on. Maybe not in the countryside, but in the cities it's more and more the case. Many tourists now come with that mindset to Thailand and see underaged Girls in all the Bars. 

 

Of course there are some Bars in the Tourist trade having underaged Girls. But not many, risk is high and usually not worth it. My impression was, when I had a look at some bars, that the same Girls from 10 or more years ago are still working the Bars or even Gogo's. The amount of porky MILFS/GILFS working is unbeleivable.

Do I detect some incorrect or misunderstood financial advice? A squandered business opportunity? An ill-advised investment, maybe? Maybe a bitcoin skeptic? Buying lottery tickets? Sorry, off topic.

 

Regarding the premise of an 18 year-old being interested in a 40 year-old, that is unusual. Maybe the 40 year-old only thinks (wishes? hopes?) the 18 year-old is interested?

 

As for a 40 year-old man's need to determine or confirm a girl's age, if he thinks that this needs to be verified by asking for her ID, just stop and don't even go there.

It's really strange the way many people seem to really want there to-be guys going after underage Girls, though. Like they need it to be happening or something.

 

It seems on every thread discussing older guys with younger over 18 girls, there are always people trying to make out that that men wanting to be with younger women are suspect in some way.

Are you saying that once men retire they can just live off their partner? There's no expectation to provide any longer?

 

Sounds lovely, but I don't dont beleive this to be the case.

Its not that unusual. Women often like opder men. I assume that she is, otherwise why is anyone even discussing it? If the girls isn't interested it's all pretty much over.

Why? If she's 18, it's fine. If she's not 18, then you walk away.

 

How would that even work? Only date girls that look over 25? Or 30 just to be sure? Sounds kind of stupid.

 

I think you just don't want older guys dating younger over 18 girl's for some reason. Jealous???

I'm not sure if any other guys were jealous when, at the ripe old age of 46, I started dating an 18 year-old who is now my wife of sixteen years. She looked young, of course, but she didn't look so young that I needed to check her ID. She said she was 18 and I believed her. I wasn't interested in obvious teenagers, never have been. BTW, she wasn't interested in me either.

 

Back on topic, if a girl looks too young, then she probably is.

They should also fix a legal age that bans people more then 55 years old to date young 22 year old gold diggers...

So how did you meet? How did you begin a relationship if she wasn't interested in you? How did you know you could trust her re the age thing? She happened to look exactly 18, or she looked older than 18? You didn't want to check the ID to be sure?

 

Also, iirc, you said you were a teacher. How did you feel about that and dating someone young enough to be one of your students (and your daughter) when you were a middle aged man?

 

Your comments seem to be asking more questions than they answer.

Wouldn't you want to find out someone's age anyway, if you want a serious relationship With them? (Presumably you would have an upper limit as well as a lower one.)
