You look young, but you're old. Do you go to bars and pick up 20-somethings?

When I was 'old', I picked up a twentysomething. Heck, a twenty. But we're still together, and she's older than I was. Is thirty old for the purposes of this?

after 5 pints they're all the same innit

A few years ago, a friend who was 33 at the time was fucking a 17 year old he picked up somewhere and was, I think, sort of proud of this until he lost a couple friends over it. I was drinking with my friends after their gig when they told me about this guy and my first semi-drunken reaction was one of unthinking "approval". I think I said, "alright, good for him!" (Not really "congrats" but a sort of b.s. 'good for him, he got a young chick' reaction) until a few of my friends who were telling me about it pointed out to me that 17 is underage, first of all, and that she was a street punk, second of all, so she had problems. And that this mutual friend of ours is a slimeball pervert. It only took a few seconds before I realized how fucked up it was and then I was immediately embarrassed for having showed semi-enthusiastic approval. I have problems relating to anyone under 25. I can't imagine manipulating a 17 year old moron.

Does this guy look like the following?...

That is true. Sometimes, I look around at a club and am thankful I still fit in.

Uh, dude, biology, no? However, if they weren't so pulchritudinous, would anyone bother with 'young' people?

When you're a teenage boy, that's all there is, so the image is what you sort of remember. When you see them coming out of school, you'd be hard pushed to get too excited mate.

Well, if you think about it, all the pop stars are sex objects before they're even legal. And all the high-schoolers and young college girls basically want to be recognized as women and, to them, that means dressing sexy or slutty, in accordance with whatever role model they choose because almost any female role model doubles as a sex object. When you're a young man, a sexy young woman can be intimidating, but when you're an old fart, you realize they're desperately seeking approval/attention and it's the easiest thing in the world to push their buttons and get them to like you enough to fuck you. That is part of what makes them seem so dumb, naive, inexperienced, I guess. This part of the game is only temporary-- the chase is better than the catch, until you get too old for chasing and just want to be put out to stud. Wait, that's the wrong metaphor.

You got that right. It's like I've been convinced teenagers are sexy, even when I don't think they are. Catholic school girls, babysitters, pop stars, Lolitas, etc. Strange.

Was this directed at me? I just turned 22.

Oh ok, Mickey Avalon. Jimmy Mod, nice to see you're thinking about me. Can't get me out of your mind, huh?

Does Woody Allen look 44? Probably actually...

more like 64!

A friend of mine works as a sort of Liasion Officer between the different Colleges in my area and he regulalry takes home, and screws the arse off, students both past and present.

Just can't do it myself though. It just doesn't FEEL right, even when I'm drunk and the girl involved is gorgeous. I'm not really into young girls, as the time I spend with them during the week is enough to convince me that no amount of firm-bodiedness can make up for all that squealing, snidiness and text-messaging.

Student teachers is another thing entirely though.

The real downside is that, as my paranoia grows (by paranoia I mean fear of being seen doing the wrong thing, being pissed up and lairy or, god forbid...) I am getting to the point where nights out have stopped being fun, and it's definitely not my age.

So, no.

there is this terrible bar near where i live that is usually full of 20-somethings but tonight i went and it was completely empty because there have been frequent power outages on the block and it scared everyone away. nice to sit and have a couple of drinks and have the jukebox to myself while talking to the bartender.

^^^combination of an explosive revive and a relevant post, genuinely in awe of this dude

haha, no ulterior motives, it was hard to find a thread that was sorta about what i wanted to post

i do look young for my age tho ; )

I used to but I'm working on it

the collateral is moot

sitting in an empty bar is always good times tho tbh

i did think tonight that being around "youngins" would not bug me at all whereas 5 years ago i'd be rolling my damn eyes.....i guess i have accepted middle age.

haha lemme know how that happens

i dunno, there's a time when throwing in the towel is a cowardly act, and there's a time when it's liberating.

think we could do with evolving some kind of auto cut-off for the libido once it's no longer useful

marriage

that's where I was going, yep

strange, it's exactly what i've been avoiding

lol
