Weirdest Ending of A Relationship?

--- Quote from: Barmymoo on 02 Jan 2009, 12:19 ---Am I the only one who finds it slightly odd that this guy is talking about picking up high school girls and then mentions that he was at high school himself twenty-five years ago? Or have I misunderstood and he is in fact a very old-looking 25 year old?

I find people out of high school picking up high school kids odd in general. They just have this "not quite ripe" look to them...I've actually asked my older ex from my high school days what the hell he was thinking. I'm convinced he just wanted someone to manipulate.

Uck, never been able to understand grown men that date or "see" high school girls. They used to hang outside my school when i was younger and wait for their ever changing playgirl to finish class. Hopefully he isn't quite as creepy!

sometimes it depends on the age difference; between being in high school and not being in high school it could be as small as one or two years. i agree though, i find older guys dating much younger girls sleazy... and i know i should try to be more open minded about it, as i know a few people who are in relationships with massive age differences that are genuinely happy together, but my first assumption is still almost always that the older guy is looking for a younger girl because he wants someone who is insecure and inexperienced with relationships and flattered that an older guy is taking care of her and buying everything for her, and therefore will be more likely to think the guy is rad as hell and unconditionally stick with him. i also saw that happen a lot while in high school, and it was nearly always older guys with drastically younger girls, not the other way around. those types of guys probably have just as many security issues as the girls they date, so maybe they aren't intentionally trying to be manipulative assholes, but it still unsettles me a bit. i guess i have to accept that some people really are happy in those kinds of relationships, as unhealthy as i might think they are.
glyphic:
I had a friend once who described the age-difference thing thusly: "Get 'em young so you can train 'em"
Thank christ he was being sardonic.
Anyway,
Last year about this time, I was dating a girl and was totally nose over tail for her. She called me one night to say: "Hey! I'm going out for a few drinks! I'll be over later."
I haven't talked to her since.

i just realised my last post was kind of hypocritical because most of the guys i date or bang are at least 3-4 years older than me. d'oh
