Sure you did.

Why don't you say something about this instead?

Re: doubtingthomas’s topics MEGATHREAD

that will create a moment of self-awareness that will lead you to seize control of your actions and recognize that only you (with some help) can make your love/sex relationships better. A lot of men are experiencing the same problems. Therefore, I am not sure why you think society can't be blamed. ...

Re: doubtingthomas’s topics MEGATHREAD

You see what you did there? I made an observation of your behavior, and you immediately tried to use the behavior of others to rationalize your own behavior. You've been doing this for as long as I remember you being on the board. It's a fairly serious problem that I'm guessing you didn't discuss w...

Re: doubtingthomas’s topics MEGATHREAD

Since you asked, the classic formula is that you take your age, divide it by 2, and then add 7. That is the youngest you are allowed to date. So if you are 26, the youngest you can date is 26/2+7 = 20. Here is a study about it: https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/meet-catch-and-keep/201405/wh...

You can (with help) disassemble it from the inside. But I'm not going to bang my head against it anymore.
I came back to argue that young women are safer when dating older men compared to men their own age. I said nothing about my dating life, or my lack of success.

Re: doubtingthomas’s topics MEGATHREAD

If you are concerned about people breaking the law, you have to be consistent about that. Not really concerned about people breaking the law. But suppose I were. Are you trying to say that If a 30-year-old guy is having a physical relationship with a 15-year-old girl, and if I'm upset about that la...

Re: doubtingthomas’s topics MEGATHREAD

Still, I wouldn't give anyone a high five for dating a 17 year old when they are 26, even as a fantasy. Most people would think that was creepy and inappropriate. Do you have any statistical evidence of that? I suspect it's just your inner circle, I think most people would be fine with that. I've h...

Who commits more gun violence, 20 year olds or 75 year olds? Consider both totals Maybe we could could call it "wisdom" or "experience."
I suppose the question is, who shoots more innocent people because they mistakenly believed they were burglars, young or old individuals?
