Hector_St_Clare has been arguing for a while that kiddie-diddling Roy Moore is a-ok and most girls lie about rape anyway, and now he reveals how it all fits his world view. I certainly hope he’s trolling, because it’s depressing to realize there are people like that still around.
… (For what it’s worth, I’m 36 right now and in an ideal world my dating preferences would be in the 18-24 range as well).
…It can be really exciting to guide, nurture, care for, lead, and sort of take on a quasi-parental role for someone going through that process… I strongly disagree with the idea (which seems to be widely shared in America today) that healthy relationships are necessarily characterized by equality anyway… I do think that the best relationships are those where there are a clear ‘leader’ and ‘follower’.
As for ‘just sex with pretty young things’, I certainly don’t think that’s always or usually the case. It’s certainly not the case for me. That said, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. Trading sex for status, economic security, etc., is a very old and bog-standard type of relationship and for that matter marriage, and I don’t see those sorts of marriages or relationships as worse than dating or marrying for any other reason. If I ever get married it would certainly be <I>largely</I> me looking for youth & beauty and I would assume, my spouse looking to be taken care of financially.
