Some old men disgust me. :mad:
Yesterday some 50+ year old guy said to me he thought it was perfectly alright to date women 20 to 30 years younger than him. I pointed out that with such a big age gap, they have nothing in common, and that the woman was probably after his money, and that it wouldn't be so fun for the woman when he's useless in bed, not to mention being at his funeral.
Then if they have children with such a huge age gap, there'll be the baby just learning to walk and the father unable to walk because of old age. Probably a dead father by the time the child is a teenager. That's a selfish thing to do to a child. I can't believe the guy was alright with that. :O

He then went on to use Asia (Japan specifically) as an example of how women only marry men for their money and status and then pop out children in return, and how UK women should be more Japanese because we don't look after men. What an asshat this guy is.:mad:
Maybe because men like that old pervert aren't worth looking after. He just wants a house slave and hooker disguised as a wife. At least most people my age want to be together because they honestly care for each other, and want to look after each other. Money has nothing to do with them being together.
Besides, people of my generation have seen our parents marriages collapse horrifically, most times because the father kept having affairs with other women. So no wonder women don't want to enter into a partnership if they are afraid the man will be unfaithful and leave her with the children and financial problems.

Attitudes like that are insulting to men and women. So he's basically saying the only value a man has is how much he earns, and that women are only valued for their looks and ability to have children.
Speaking of children...they are going to have a messed up childhood if the father is 60 or 70 when the child is 13, and the mother is only with him for money.
I didn't realise we were back in the early 1900 where women were expected to be kept in the house like pets and domestic servants. All I can say is I'm glad this guy's opinions are dying out. I haven't come across guys my age spouting such insulting rubbish.

Besides, there's just something wrong with a man who wants to date with such a huge age gap. Young women do not want creepy old men chatting them up. The few that do only chase old men for money, marry them, pop out a trophy brat, and then sue the man for child support, upkeep of herself because she gave up work for the child, and half of his assets. Serves the guy right for falling for it. There's no fool like an old fool.

I could never pretend to like a man for money. And I could never date a man 20 or 30 years older. That just disgusts me and makes me think of Hugh Hefner. :shifty:
Some women might as well be hookers if all they want is to use men for money. I also don't understand how a man could be okay knowing that money was the only thing a woman liked about him and be willing to risk divorce where he's going to lose his children and the money, which is what the wife wanted anyway. :/

If it's two consenting adults, then I guess they've made their own mess and should face the consequences. But what really gets me is 25+, 30, and even 50 year old men and women try to date teenagers aged 16- 19. That shouldn't be allowed. They're still immature teenagers, children, with no life experience compared to the older partner. The older one could manipulate the teenager, and make the teenager old before their time, or force them into something they are unsure about.
Studies have shown that, upon reflection as adults, being involved with much older partners during their teenage years expressed regret and feelings of being used and manipulated. So it's all well and good for the old man or woman who's got a teenager on her arm, but that to me is some kind of...not quite child abuse...but there's something very wrong with that kind of relationship. It reminds me of a youtube clip of the Maury show where a 40 year old woman dated a 16 year old, had him move in with her and her children who were older, and bought him pokemon cards. That woman was sick. What possessed her to go after such a young teenager. To me 16 is like a child....
This is a good example why this shouldn't happen.
Anway...rambling rant over. I think I'm getting good at these.:p

Funny thing is people believe and seem to act upon the idea of " men want money to get sex; women give them sex to get
money". I wish this was just a myth, but I came to verify this myth is indeed true on our society: this is more the rule than the exception.
There was a belief or a theory called Westermarck effect, who said people avoid to mate other peers if they meet these standarts:
  • Proximity: The observed effect applies to children raised in close contact.
  • Age: The critical period for reverse sexual imprinting ends by age 6 or 7.
  • Age Difference: If more than eight years apart, the effect is greatly diminished for the younger participant.
  • Genetics: Lack of blood relation makes no difference.
  • Gender: Women and girls may be more sensitive to the effect than men and boys.
  • This doesn't work anymore.In fact, in the last years, we are influenced by media to avoid this kind of "repulse", saying to you that " the love " rules all, no matter how bizarre it is.Now we just have two main rules: to have power and money.
  • If you have those two, you can do whatever you want, even " to buy" a wife( or husband), a personal slave to meet your egostical needs .
  • What kind of future wait us, when only economical power matters?

I think it is more the older generation that cling to the idea of money= sex. Because if everyone was like that, it cheapens both men and women equally. Men are not just walking cash machines and women are not just baby makers and sex toys to be bought.

While the Westermarck effect does apply to why some people sexually avoid people they have grown up with, it doesn't explain cases of fathers who's friends have started dating their daughters. Using the Westermarck effect as an example, it would suggest that because the family friend spent a lot of time with the child, saw the child grow up, that there would be no sexual attraction. But this is not always the case.There have been documentaries about such things happening, family friends dating the children whom they watched grow up.

You're right that media and social conditioning do play a role in dictating what is acceptable. Only recently is it becoming more acceptable for much older women to date young men. Before it was very negatively viewed, compared to just accepting that an old man could date a much younger woman.
But it has been shown that the more education a woman has, the less need she has for a man with money. Or, more like she will pick a man who is equal to her in terms of education and money.
There is also the new phenomenon of girls growing up with the mentality of 'we don't need a man' because their fathers walked out on them and their mothers. So these girls grow up to be women who want to have a career and rely on themselves instead of marrying a man for money. It's going to be a shock for those old men who think only money can attract a woman. They'll actually have to develop a personality and some manners, or buy a bride who will scam them for their money. :troll:

And if people are choosing to be with others who only have money and power to attract, then they're living a lie.
Fair enough if there is real love, but a big age gap. But for there to be no love, no caring, then what is the point of that kind of relationship? It just becomes parasitic. The older one leeches youth and fuels the ego. The younger one leeches money. I guess in the end, they both get what they want...

I still cringe at Courtney Stodden with that old man. Wasn't she 15 when they married? Now she looks like a 40 year old, fake hooker with all that plastic surgery she's had done. She's become old before her time. I wonder if she knows what she has gotten herself into? I think she just saw his money and thought to take advantage of an old fool. And clearly he is immature for dating her. They deserve each other.

ARGH!
I try sign into twitter, forgot my password, has new code sent to email.
I try sign into my email, and lo and behold MS decides to **** with me and asks for an alternative email address for 'security' reasons, to which they will send ANOTHER CODE so I can sign into my account.
The only other email I've got is Adam's, and I forgot the password to get into THAT account, so I put down Jon's email instead.
And then I realized I can't ****ing sign into his account because I have no clue what his password is.
YOU REALLY THINK THIS ONLY HAPPENS IN DEVELOPMENT?!?!?!
Welcome to my ****ing world where my WHOLE LIFE is like this.

school starts back next week...and my main issue is gonna be socializing. not because i go all peter parker and stuff around others. i just don't talk to anyone in my class. the last 3 yrs i've pretty much just talked to people in the lower class or the upper class. because my class if full of obnoxious pricks. and since i AM the upper class now, it's gonna be awkward with just me hanging out with a bunch of lowerclass

Such a nice reminder that the college I go to is still disorganized as ever.

I get that when I'm doing 'arty' stuff on the computer (especially hentai... not that I draw it that often)
(The words 'porn' and 'disgusting' are used a lot).

CRT: Yeaaaa... I'm pretty sure you've said that to wind me up...

If they are, the learning curve is practically a horizontal line.

DAMMIT FAN. I knew something was up when a random screw fell out from nowhere, now you've lost the ability to rotate back and forth ;_;

Note to self: read the genre before you click the bloody link next time. Yeah. Fantasy/Romance with only Dante and Vergil in the summary - spermy waters, do not tread. And I was enjoying the whole thing right until the end when the innuendo poked me in the eye. :mad:
Gross.
STOP IT C!
