2) So my boy's Physics teacher resigned a couple of weeks ago. Turns out he was caught by the police, buck naked, in his car, in a park, in flagrante delicto with a sixteen year old former student. Ooops. And the thing is I met the guy, talked with him quite a bit, owing to my son's academic waywardness, and he didn't seem like that kind of guy at all. A good Christian, but not in an obnoxious or clumsy way. (Some Christians strike me as the kind of people that weren't good at anything until they found religion. I suppose that applies to all religions, really, and there's nothing wrong with that really, but I judge people by their competence in the here and now, because I'm a pessimist and I'm constantly trying to calculate how long it will be before anyone does anything that will fuck up my day.) I generally just shake my head when these teacher-student stories come up in the news, but this one hits a little too close to home.
Anyway, dude didn't seem like the type. As if I know the type. I suppose they were "in love". Which happens. But not to me. I look at a woman under 30 and I'm thinking "jail time." Well actually no, I think of them as my kids. So I'm pretty much thinking "You dork!" because that's what I think of when I look at my kids. So guys, if your sixteen year old niece has filled out to be an awesome cherry tomato, just remember that, on the inside, she's still Napolean Dynamite, complete with funky ass moon boots, Gosh!
Yeah, kids is right. Half my age plus seven is thirty three. Anyone under that is basically one of those girls who came to my sons' fifteenth birthday parties. The idea of gettin' it on with one makes me want to check myself into jail with "short-eyes" written on my t-shirt. Just the thought of having talked to a grown man who later has sex with a sixteen year old girl in his car makes me feel by extension like a piece of used toilet paper. I mean, I, I, I think I made my point.
ReplyDeleteNever understood the appeal of the way younger sex partner -- and women do it too, so it's not just a guy thing. I would think THEY are not doing it cuz they're attracted to you, but for some other reason, so it would wreck it for me and that's the end.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, Don. It gives me the ick.
ReplyDeleteOne of my wife's friends, who is 40 something, was dating a 21 year old guy. I guess they are actually getting married. It's a little odd though because I think her son is older than her husband to be. My wife is all "You go, girlfriend!"
I try not to judge. We all have flaws. Even I like poop and fart jokes too much and do not set a good example for my children.
I would definitely go for someone older than me --someone with a good mind. Sex is a waste of precious time. One could be reading a decent book, after all. Opportunity cost I think economists call it.
