I'd say legal adults are free to make their own decision as to whom they'd like or not like to copulate with without others opinions' as to whether this is "good" or not.

It's kind of like the Koreans telling you about the "correct" way to eat food.



this brings back the memory of an old argument about supposed perv older guys with younger women.

e.g. 40 year old guy with 25 yr old girl is a 'dirty old man'.
or make it 33 year old with a 22 year old, etc. vs those girls being with guys their own age or close to.

Let's assume we know from the get go these are basically hookups or shorter term relationships that aren't meant for marriage.

so, according to the moralists - the 40 year old that gives the 25 year old a nice evening out, then back in the boudoir gives her a legitimate orgasm (or two, or more )

that guy is a dirty old man.

the guy her age who dutches a dinner at Applebees, after swilling a lot of beer at the bar, then gives her the energizer bunny 3 minute in and out before collapsing on top of her in mixture of his own drool and vomit.

that guy - well that's the "right" guy for her. A guy who acts his age.

Interesting :shock

Seems to me adults should be free to choose what they want to choose and what they're in the mood for without someone opining on whether this is a good or bad thing.

what matters is whether it's good or bad for them (not you!)

Same logic holds true for the old(er) woman who wants a finely toned poolboy to basically do the Energizer bunny pound routine, but be able to do it for a long time... and repeated times.

it's all good.

you make some excellent points.

However, since we cannot determine maturity individually, much less put together an objective measuring standard of what would constitute it, we are left with imperfect barometers to measure it.. and basically 18 (and I would attach a caveat, 18 and finished high school) should be it since no one has come up with anything better.

(I am referring to standard Western age)

We all know the American drinking laws were a bunch of religious right/nanny state BS that is completely indefensible in any debate, which is why even someone like Obama completely avoids the topic

(how can you with a straight face say 18 year olds are old enough to die in the sands of Iraq for negligible reasons, yet aren't old enough to buy a beer?)

you can't. So everyone ducks the issue.

Even if you accept the usefulness of the 21 drinking law, you'd be hard pressed to prove it's actually effective in suppressing so called "underage" drinking (a strong case can be made otherwise)

AND if you logically accept the ends justify the means argument

then you logically would have to accept restrictions on smoking, alcohol, hamburgers and "bad food" across the entire age spectrum.

so we're left with imperfect standards, but ones most reasonable people can agree upon.

p.s. It seems to me that the OP and link attached isn't referring to 50/60 year old guys chasing teenagers but 18+ and far more likely so, 21+ (or in reality, 30+ women)

I guess it's a good thing for the old men. I don't really care, because that's at least one thing the feminist movement did for me: I don't have to care, because it doesn't have to be me, thank the universe.

I'm far too busy with younger men to give a [Mod Edit]

And then there was Morgan.

Morgan Freeman, 72, is going to marry the 27 year-old granddaughter of his first wife.

Have to admit I find this one distasteful because of their close family (although not blood-related) connection, but i guess I have to withold judgement: 27 years old is plenty old enough for a mature decision, surely?.

[The Gipkik]

It did say that she was his step granddaughter. I'm betting he didn't spend lots of time with her while she was growing up due to his career, so it's almost like marrying any 27 year old. Sounds pretty odd, though.

And actually, the writer sounded jealous.

I wish I were a chased-after young woman instead of a clueless guy lost in Seoul.
