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?

Re: Ohio man, 81, fatally shoots Uber driver, 61, after scammers target both of them

OK, let's take that into account. But doesn't that undercut your whole argument? According to your OP, we should expect to see higher rates of fatal shootings by folks in their 70s. I'm not suggesting that 70-year-olds commit more gun violence, but it could be the case that a lot of 70-year-olds, w...

Re: doubtingthomas’s topics MEGATHREAD

Really, nobody owes you a darn bit of respect if you can't even stay on your own topic. This has nothing to do with your last OP that the mods rightfully merged with this thread. And your second sentence is ridiculous, a desperate way to save your failed OP. What are you talking about man? Okay, wh...

If this board existed in the 1940s

Imagine it's the 1940s, and if I were to say things like "I dated another man", I would get a bunch of angry responses. People would call me an abuser, a creep, a predator, and would say that I am obsessed with other men. I would get accused of breaking the law , and people would claim that he and I...
