Guys, would you date a woman that flirted with 15-17 year old boys

[Mme. Chaucer]

Men are such hypocrites

 

Sometimes … I think you might be one of our resident woman - bashers (iike Woggle) disguised as a girl to justify all the "misandry" wailing that they do.

[Mme. Chaucer]

So come to think of it, it probably is possible to inadvertently hit on a teenager. Or hit on a teen that really seems older.

 

Sure it's possible. But it does not make it the responsibility of the teenager because they happen to look older.

 

Society certainly handles sex for underage boys differently than for girls - it's a "manly" right of passage if a boy looses his virginity to a woman, but a loss of innocence and purity if a girl loses it to an adult man.

 

Regardless of how society views it, kids don't need adults interfering with their burgeoning sexuality. Society should protect them.

 

I'm not saying that the (probably imaginary) 35 year old drunk sexter from the OP is a pederast. His character would be known by how he reacted to finding out he'd been sexting a kid. Could be an episode of "Seinfeld" or "Californication." Regardless, the guy sounds like a total loser.

Gosh, well these responses shocked me. I guess I can't wrap my mind around finding a boy of that age attractive in anyway. Despite sometimes getting lonely myself. Sure, you can look at kids and say, "that's a good looking kid". But that's different from, "I am attracted to that kid". I simply don't get it.

I don't think it's always about the looks, that the women in question are taking one look at these teen guys and saying “oh wow he's just so hot, I have to have him!”. It's more that some teenage guys know how to talk to women in the way they need a guy to talk to them. Like papercuts thread the other day when she started falling for the guy who's fat because he knew how to handle her, he wasn't her physically ideal type but she started getting feelings for him anyways. I think it's the same basic idea when it comes to a lot of the older women that end up flirting or sleeping with a teen guy.

 

Like Mary Kay Letourneau, I don't think she is a sick pedophile. Sleeping with an underage student was very wrong sure, but she strikes me more as a woman who was in a very unhappy lonely marriage and ended up falling for a teenage guy who was conveniently there and knew how to talk to her.
