and she'll love ya long time!!

Go gettem Mirror!!!

Yeh, what she said...and then some!

ROFL..yeh, they call those TORNADOS!!!

And a bad winter -5 and bad summer 105 with HUMIDITY out the yass!

And add to that,. not much in the "entertainment realm..well it use to be a good place to raise a family and the people were "real" and down to earth. But otherwise I'll stay where there is a little more excitement than watching the cars rust and the grass grow.

LOL..lived in Tulsa area most of my life...you can keep it.

LOL..yeh Madam..that pic just reminds me of....well next time use lube sweetheart!

Wow!

Great question!!!! Never thought about that one.

In most respects I believe it to be "taught" in most cases. I think there can be some however, who have an innate sense. Those with a bit more intellect.

So I think both play roles, but mostly depends on the individual.

Great question!

I knew there was something good about this place!

I have none of the above...my government decides whats best for me!

LOL..good point!! And we see more and more..its the "older women" going after the BOYS..and I mean BOYS!!! Like the teacher with the 13 or 14 year old was it??

So we can at least say this is NOT a GENDER bias issue! And many more "older women" going after much younger guys...they call them COUGARS I found out. yet an older guy going after a young woman is a PERVERT! WOW!

So to say or even THINK anyone has an exact correct solution for all this...well that's just unrealistic.

AMEN!

Umm no, thats why I asked her age. If she just turned 16 and he is 19, no I would NOT be ok with that one. because here in the USA, there is an extreme high probability (90+%) they guy is just going after sex..period. And that in ANY case is WRONG!

But I have seen people "flip" when when its consentual and the girl is like 17 and the guy 19..that I see nothing wrong with. Because it's NATURAL and something that GOD made!

There is proof of that everywhere..including in the Bible! So I am just stating from a "world" perspective..not an "American" one. Many times it depends on the specific situation.

Even in America just 100 years ago, it was "common" for girls to MARRY at 14 or 15 in almost every state! And still today some states set statutory rape at 16...why? Because they know and realize that sexual activity is COMMON after that age.

Again, every situation can be different and should be seen as such. In the case the girl jjust turned 16 and the guy is 19, well its rather obvious whats going on there...and in that case, it is WRONG.

ROFL...now this is SO FUNNY! Watching all these guys say "kick his ass" etc etc.. First how old is the girl..is she like 17? And say her boyfriend is like 19. Wow, what a difference there!

Now everybody GO LOOK IN THE MIRROR!!!

Girls, when you were 17, did you know, like and even date guys 19?? I bet MOST have! And guys, when you were 19, did you not see , date and even try to get some sex from your 17 year old girlfriend!!??

LET's GET REAL FOLK'S!!! GEEZ!!!!

Acting like something is such a CRIME!

here's a GREAT EXAMPLE!!

Back when I was studying law around 1980..right here in the great USA, in the state of Massechusetts, it was STILL IN THE LAW BOOKS.. a boy 13 and a girl 12 could get MARRIED!!!!

And look at the age sets from countries around the world! Some are as low as 12!! In many countries, girls get married at 14!!! And start having kids at 15!!!

So pull your heads out! At least take a look at the REAL WORLD and MAYBE you can broaden your minds at least a little bit!


PEACE!

Wow! There is an old saying..you can't see the forest because of the tree in your face.

Again, it is CLEAR you have not LIVED in a "bad" relationship and do not seem to understand that "bad relationship" includes abuse, neglect..basically ANYTHING BAD that when you put both the good and the bad on the scales, the bad outweighs the good.

For you to say there is a BIG difference between a "bad" relationship and an "abusive" one is asinine!!! As Drifter pointed out so very clearly.. ABUSE = BAD. ANYONE can figure that one out. And to try to seperate all the "bad" things is just rediculous.

LOL..no disrespect intended Rabi (sorry you just look like one..just a hunch), but try being in a truly "bad realtionship" then lets see your answer. I only speak from experience..i was not "taught" this.



I don't doubt the pain, sumthindif, it can be hell. But still the magic of having love in your heart is the most powerful force in the universe. It might not feel that during moments of pain and deep hurt - but ultimately its true.


Again, no disrespect and I do understand where you are coming from..unfortunately it is from a textbook.

When you have been in such a relationship, let me give you a small example. You are married to a woman who literally forces you into a room and will block the door, she knowing full well, as a man you will not touch a woman in anger..period. So you as the man are literally stuck, cornered with no real way out, unless you try to physically remove her out of your way so you can simply get out and away from this hell. But since the situation would onlt escalate to violence, the man endures HOURS (and I always said, if you can t=yell at the top of your lungs for 8 hours straight and NOT lose you voice..thats toom much damn practice) and even one time you have to call the cops, so they come out just so you can leave to get away from the situation, instead of being verbally pounded and sometimes even struck, knowing you can;t even strike back, because that is against everything you are made of as a man.

So I have LIVED on both sides of this fence, experienced it first hand in both matters...living in a bad relationship and having to deal with lonliness. So I have the scars and the real truth to place on the scales. Loneliness STINKS and can be a very rough emotion to deal with. But place it up against being and living in a truly bad relationship, by the true definition, having to deal with the loneliness is easier..hands down.

Again, mine is from experience..not a book or classroom. You live on both sides of the fence..then you are qualified to give a truly accurate opinion.

Again, not a cutdown and I do respect your opinion. However I do percieve you are talking from an "outsider's" viewpoint.

Well my dear shorty, if its any consulation... its better to have to deal with loneliness (which sux big time) than to have to deal with having a bad relationship.



But the process of discovering someone, having the good and bad times, does prevent someone from being lonely. So I don't know if I would agree that a bad relationship is worse then being lonely.

Sort of the idea behind its better to have loved and lost then to never having loved.

Hey, I am IN SHAPE!!! Didn't you ever learn..ROUND is a SHAPE!

Truly, most today do not know what "real love" is. I think mainly due to lack of understanding, lack of example and so many people, as others have stated, using the term "I love you" with little or no weight to give it real meaning.

So is it still out there..YES! But its just a lot harder to find..and maybe even harder for the other person to see how genuine your's can really be.
