Oh god no. 28, maybe. 38 would be more like it.

If there were such an emoticon, you would surely have refused to use it.

Elizabeth (ducking)

Nah, at that age, they're already set in their ways. An 18-year-old I can train to suit. :)

Don't bet on it. At 18 they think they're grown up and pretty set in their ways. And you do know that the only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys, don't you? lol

We have to think up an emoticon for sarcasm, I have seen a few but they didn't really register easily as sarcasm.

So going back over That too, given it worked the same way and old women preyed on young men (and yes Brattie, I know sarcasm is the lowest form of wit)

However, I wonder how many say 13/14 year old males would object to being used ? Genuine query - as I am sure you must know, there are cultures where an older woman is given a young man to teach him all he needs to know about sex before they turn him loose on women his own age.

Yah didn't duck quickly enough lol I would use the sarcasm one because I find people miss sarcasm in the written word, perhaps it needs a facial expression with it. Surely it would be within our capabilities to invent one ?

As I said, at 18, I get to train him my way. At 28 or 38, he thinks he knows everything about women and there's nothing left to learn. :)

I think you perhaps haven't met very many 18 year old males if you think they're amenable to training.

Oh, look, Cheryl - somewhere for you to send DS for a while! Karen thinks she can train him! LOL!

Elizabeth

From my understanding, though, this practice happens when the boy is reaching sexual/emotional maturity, which in this culture is prolly NOT at 13/14.

Elizabeth

Isn't a boy reaching sexual/emotional maturity an oxymoron for lots of guys?

;-)) Lucille

Nah - in 12 days, he's gone for two whole weeks. And I'll bet he'll be easier to deal with out his sister and friends around as she's going to camp in 5 days. And he'll sleep for a week after that if past experience is any indicator.

When I was 16 (and very mature for my age due to certain life circumstances), I found that the 18 year old boys that I associated with at the time were very eager to be trained. Granted, I made it very clear that either they accepted training or I would drop them in favor of pursuing the 28 to 30 year old men that I tended to prefer.

Although I will say that I grew tired after a while of having to teach them absolutely everything, and officially quit dating people my own age soon after. College was very interesting, given that I entered at the age of 17 and a fair number of my Intro profs were in their late twenties.

Jeez, I'm starting to feel wistful... Becky A.

I have no clue about sexual, but my experience is men rarely mature fully. Bruce and Jim are exceptions to that rule though.

But not Fred? *snicker*

Elizabeth

Ooh you bad, bad girl lol

Fame at last! Bruce

Hey there! Didn't you notice I very carefully said "most."

Damn

Knew I forgot someone....

There is only one reason that I matured; I married the right girl. It was Jill who ensured that I matured. Jim.
