Whenever I chat on the internet, the adults bore me to tears. It’s all talk about divorces, kids, jobs, etc. Mostly kids; and since I don’t have any, I can’t relate.
The teens, however, never fail to amuse me. Especially the teen girls. I love chatting with teen girls on the internet.
It’s all innocent; I don’t cybersex them or ask them what color their panties are while I whack off. I just talk to them about life & such. They are so much more interesting than people my age. Especially the girl I met in Yahoo chat who is a total Star Wars geek! An even bigger Star Wars geek than me :eek:!
So anyway, does all this make me a deve? Mrs. Rastahomie thinks it’s weird, but not immoral or illegal. I, however, have my doubts. DISCLAIMER: I get NO sexual pleasure from these conversations, as they are strictly conversations about mundane things.
It’s all about finding your level. Your level is that of a teenage girl.
Seriously though I know what you mean. At family gatherings I frequently go ‘hang with the kids’ to avoid all the talk of mortages and such so I don’t think there is anything wrong with you.
A lot of those teenage girls aren’t teenage girls but guys your age probably pretending to be teenage girls.
You could try hanging out in one of those Lesbian chat rooms, they have adult women who love to talk & stay on topic. You have to be real careful not to offend them though.
I’d say you’re probably looking in the wrong places to chat. There are plenty of adults out there who want to talk about interesting subjects and have a lot to say. There are billions of chat rooms out there; find one devoted to a subject you’re interested in.
If what you talk about is the same teenage girl “stuff” my daughter and her friends message each other about my eyes would start bleeding as my brain tried to batter it’s way out my skull if I was forced to interact in these scenarios, so no I don’t “get it”, but everyone’s different.
In all honesty despite your declaration of only the purest of intentions, if my daughter told her that 30 year old man was chatting her and her frinds up on the net and was deeply into the things she cared about I would probably suspect that there was some sort ped vibe here even if it’s not overtly physical. But that’s just me.
I don’t think it’s wrong. It’s sure weird, in the sense that it’s not in the norm, but that might not be a bad thing.
Do you like to talk to teenage boys also?
I also don’t have kids, and the last thing I want to do is talk about my job or my mortgage. That’s boring ol’ reality, and I get enough of it in mundane life. If I’m in front of the computer or the television, I want to be entertained. Some people are entertained by watching ‘Survivor’. You are apparently entertained by listening to what is undoubtedly the high drama of a teen’s life. Since plenty of TV shows revolve around this, it’s obviously entertaining. Shrug.
If your wife’s OK with it, and you’re not misleading anyone (yourself included- you reeally ain’t getting off to this), then chat away. Although I agree with other posters in that you could probably find interesting adults to talk to if you looked in the right places.
For shame, kellibelli. I think you’re jumping to conclusions. Rasta said he derived no sexual pleasure from his chats, he just preferred the topics and the refreshing way they communicate. Nothing wrong with that.
My wife teaches third grade. Her closest colleague (also third grade) is a single man, in his 30s. He loves teaching grade school. He loves kids; he can appreciate their world and their point of view. He can communicate with them very well, and he’s a great teacher (and a wonderful friend to my family). He’s not sexually deviant. He just identifies with kids; totally innocent.
I have a 16-year-old daughter. I like meeting her friends and chatting with them. It’s refreshing and fun for me. They like me. They’ve told my daughter they think her parents are cool. Is that weird and kinky? Or is it different because I meet them face-to-face and rasta chats with them on the internet? If their conversations are innocent and above-board, then I see nothing wrong with it.
It doesn’t seem weird at all to me. But then, I’m on the other end of this. I’m old enough to vote, but not drink, and the youngest person I talk to online is a decade older–and I’ve been talking to him since I was 15.
Isnt there? He himself posted the op asking if he was a pedophile…
From the OP: Mrs. Rastahomie thinks it’s weird, but not immoral or illegal. I, however, have my doubts.
I couldnt agree more. Thank god there are people like that in the world!
Rasta isnt meeting his daughters friends. Being involved with your kid is NOT the same as cruising the internet looking for young girls now is it?
Rasta himself has doubts - doesnt that worry you?
If he is shunning the company of adults in favor of teen girls, thats very creepy. Even if the conversations are totally innocent, it IS voyeristic in that he is getting a look into the life of a young girl just as if he was peeping in her window, and even though he says the CONVERSATIONS are totally innocent, I think he is getting a mental sexual thrill from it.
Hey, he asked for input. I am not gonna lie to him.
I have seen teen girls chat, and it was far from refreshing - it was incoherent babble punctuated with profanity and {{{{{{{{HUGZ!!!}}}}}}}} etc.
Try #straightdope, I havent been there for ages, but it was a decent room last time I was there.
My daughter is 14 and has several adult chat friends. I don’t have a problem with this.
At first it was because the computer is in the living room and a casual glance while walking by gives you the idea of what they’re talking about, but I’ve heard her block people that were “creeping” her out or getting weird on her. She’s always gotten along better with adults than kids her age and on the net is no exception.
I’ve even “met” her adult chat friends.
There’s a difference between being a pedophile and just enjoying talking to teenagers.
Now, teenage boys are a whole different matter. All they want to talk about is sex and trying to get some. :rolleyes:
I’m sorry, but that is the funniest thing I’ve read all day.
as for the OP, it’s odd. No doubt about it. But there are odder things that also aren’t illegal. So take that for what it’s worth.
What about all the people here on SDMB who chat with their teenage friends? I’ve been here since I was 16, does that make everybody who emails me or chats with me some sort of sexual deviant, or voyer?
