My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
And again, not American. For Pete's sake, this is the second time you've done this this month alone.
No offence to our American friends, but it's irritating.
In any case, a 30's or 40's year old man preying on girls in their teens/early twenties is considerably lacking in class.

Well, I saw your post, and I thought of putting something like, "Strike remembers" (which sounded offensive to you) or "The Americans themselves can tell (maybe offensive in general).
So I copped out, sorry.
It's nice yto know someone does bother to pay attention, though.

Not all 17 year olds make good choices (most make bad ones), if you are trying to pick up 17 year olds you are pitting your own experience against their relative naivity. Also, there's no chance of a relatio nship, so the whole exercise is cynical.
Not cool really. I'm not quite 23 and I know it would be easy for me to wow 17 year old girls, I prefer a more even playing field.

This thread is quickly moving into the backroom arena.
Suffice it to say, I don't think Frags, nor the Netherlands is in the wrong on this one. Elsewise, we would have a much smaller prison population of just over 18 sex offenders. The argument is a dubious one at best.

Fair points, but what kind of man in his 30's tries to have sex with a teenager, I mean actually walks into a club/coffee shop etc. and goes for a woman so much his junior?
My sister is 18, I wouldn't go below that age now, to be honest at (nearly) 23 I'm not comfortable with going after teenagers any more, they're just so "young" compared to women in their 20's. Their outlook etc. is often totally different.

As long as he intends to go about it the right way and treats her with respect, I don't really have a problem with it. As long as both parties are happy, it's nobody else's business.
I understand what you're saying and I imagine a fair proportion of the guys in relationships like that are pretty sleazy but I don't think an age-gap is something that is intrinsically wrong.
