Bear in mind that oftentimes they don’t really expect it to lead anywhere. They just like to make noise and provoke because they think it is funny and awkward for the adult, not because they actually want to get in bed with you.
Hell yes they’re sexually aggressive. They’re walking hormones. Everybody always jokes about or acknowledges the raging hormones in teenage boys and it’s often forgotten that girls have hormones, too. And they are going insane. It’s not any fun (I wouldn’t go through 15-17 again for a billion dollars), especially since common wisdom holds that girls who behave like they are actually sexual beings are big sluts. Coupled with the fact that teenage girls don’t have the best decision making skills, and yeah, trouble can happen. Which is why all of the insistence of “dating” being “chaste” in this thread sounds like a bunch of bullshit to me. A walking hormone bomb + a healthy, adult male, and they’re just going to hold hands? What-the-fuck-ever.
Nope. I am very happily single.
I wasn’t the most promiscuous teenager in the world, but even I got caught up in the whole “the more guys who want you, the better” thing. I never would have been as brazen as some of the girls discussed here in the thread, but there was definitely some confusion for me about whether I had any other “currency” beyond my sexuality.
Yes, that is what I am getting at. Is this behavior just trying to tease and provoke in an effort to get attention, or aggressive sexual desire? Pepperlandgirl believes the former and you the latter.
It can be either or both, depending on the girl.
I’d have to agree. Its creepy and disturbing and it does make the OP sound like a pedophile.
I didn’t realize one could make a living out of “being awesome”.
No one thinks older guys are pervs for dating younger women. It’s perfectly acceptable for a 40 year old guy to be dating a late 20 something women or even younger.
The fact of the matter is that men tend to age slower than women. It’s much harder for a woman to stay in shape and maintain her looks than it is for a woman. My brother is 34 and he’s dating a girl in his mid 20s. It’s not something that people even give a second thought to.
Okay, serious gender confusion going on in this paragraph …
A slight thread drift, but I was just thinking that the OP is just a bit disingenuous. This thread-- and a thread about DP being a woman’s ultimate fantasy?
Doesn’t compute. I think we’re feeding a troll.
Frankly, I think the fact that she’s not deeply suspicious of any 27-year-old man who thinks it’s a good idea to date a 16-year-old girl suggests she’s not really all that mature.
Also, I didn’t have a great opinion of Mensa to begin with (seriously, a club for “smart people”?), but this thread doesn’t raise it any.
You’re reading my mind.
On the off chance the guy is on the level…
When I was in high school there was this girl who was 16 at the time who was dating a 26 or 27 year old guy. We mocked this guy mercilessly whenever we saw him. You could be in for a lot of this.
Since the alleged troll is no longer here and we are discussing among ourselves, I don’t think it matters what the original intentions of the OP were. This has no longer anything to do with him. Just the usual suspects presenting their respective views of an issue that is very much real, even if the specific case of the OP were not.
Sorry, I missed that bit. Thanks, Sapo. Apologies for reviving a zombie.
