I didn't have questions. Tish had the question.

The one that you refused to answer like a stubborn attention seeking egocentric child instead of an adult engaging in a conversation.

Okay but you just told me.

I am reading the comments and I am trying to respond to most of them or all if possible. I did like what Perfume on my Mind just told me. Now I did answer Tish's question and it is not necessary for me to be very specific.

I would believe this if you changed "good" to "compatible."

Good women are all around you. Compatible is another story.

You are absolutely right!

DoubtingThomas, have you forgotten what you've posted here and on MormonDialogue, under an account name you openly acknowledged was yours in threads here?

If what you previously and openly posted about your age and your personal stories about sex was true, then what you are saying now is NOT true. And you are WAY too old to be hitting on virginal 18 year olds. What game are you playing?

Interesting. If the screen name was volunteered on this forum, it would be acceptable to provide quotes from MD&D.

Does the game on that board resemble the game being played here?

Because in general, more people date within a few years of their own age. For numerous reasons. Your age is not irrelevant at all.

And if i may speak bluntly, if you're over 22 or 23, you're too old for an 18 year old. As people get older the differences between their ages would matter less, but an 18 year old is not (usually) a fully formed functional adult capable of having an adult relationship.

Ain't that the truth.

The truth of the sentiment is even more powerful to me these days, given the experience of having an 18 year old daughter living in my house. She's at that special time when she seems all grown up and totally dependent all at once.

It's kind of weird watching it. I must have been similar at that age, but I can't quite capture the feeling.

Agreed. And the last thing someone a full decade past 23 who has bragged about a very experienced past should be doing is sizing up 18 year olds while faking virginity.

:surprised:

So the claim that the 46 year old woman is old enough to be his mother is a...stretch?

You made me say it, and I remember asking Shades to delete those messages because Mormon Dialogue mods know who I am under that user name. I am a member of the church fully active and the last thing I want is for Cal or someone to contact my bishop. If someone here is really interested in taking a guess on my age we can see face to face on Skype. Send me a private message.

Now I don't remember what stupid things I posted a long time ago, but I can assure you I was more immature. Judge for yourself on Skype if you want. But it really doesn't matter.

Even if I were 33 years old it wouldn't be a bad thing (but my chance of success would be one in a million). I really don't understand why so much age discrimination. If an 18 year old can die for the country, he/she can marry who ever they want. Or am I wrong?

You may be right, but people are never ready for marriage. There is a reason why most marriages end up failing. But we can learn from our mistakes and grow.
