Things are not looking so good for Randy Andy.

For the life of me I've never understood the attraction of underage girls.

Hi air,

Just for clarification; what is your definition of 'underage?'

My mother was married at 17 and a mother at 18.  And a mother of two at 19.

PS)  Have you taken a look at the 18 yr old girls in your local high school?

Do you mean in trump terms?

Well, if you're an underage boy (or close enough to make it reasonable)...

When I was a youngster, I'd think "gee, she's good looking."

Somewhat later I found myself thinking "I wonder what her mom looks like."

Now it's more along the lines of "I wonder if her grandmother is too young for me."

In my mind I am still 16 years old and I still find that many of the same things that were attractive then are still attractive. At the same time I know the difference between right and wrong and I have enough self discipline to consider not just what is right for me but also what is right for others. Especially others who may be vulnerable.

I think it might be a continuum, kind of like what gender you're attracted to, and how sexual (i.e. generally horny) you are. Dunno how much is inborn and how much is "encouraged," but if you happen to have those feelings naturally, and are strongly sexual, then you've got a much harder row to hoe to stay on the straight and narrow. Just like some people are bisexual, and others are pretty much pegged one way or the other.

The thing is, since we're talking about minors, if you're that way, then yes, it's still your responsibility to fight your natural urges, and that'll be much harder than it is for most people. Some people are born without limbs, messed body chemistry, etc, life isn't fair.

My wife says birthdays and anniversaries only, she's mean like that.

Dear Wendy,

A former girlfriend explained to me that immature men are attracted to minor teenaged girls. These immature men (say 23 years old) are not mature enough to attract twenty-something women, so hit on young teenaged girls.

Consider how many 16 year old girls are impregnated by 23 year old men.

When I was in late high school I lived on a Canadian military base (CFB Borden).  It was almost impossible to date girls the same age because all the military guys were after them.  They seemed a lot older to me, but in reality they were probably in their early to mid 20s so not that much older than 17-18 year old high school girls.  Lots of girls got pregnant even at 15 or 16.  Lots of shotgun marriages too.

Come on, boss, there's no mystery here beyond the biological imperative and everyone knows it no matter how they parse the currently popular woke narrative. I'm not saying to hell with it and defile young girls because it's natural. What I am saying is that it's just another example of how we are transitioning from our animal selves to selves that want to be controlled more by our reasoning faculties.

I was referring to really young...pre-teen even.

One thing that I've found kind of odd, is watch old movies from the 40's or 50's. They often portray significant age differences. It's common to see actresses in their twenties playing the love interest or spouse to actors in their forties and fifties. One movie I saw a while back, it was a true story about a backwoods hick who became a WWll hero, and at the end he goes home and marries his longtime girlfriend. I don't know if this was historically accurate, but the actor was in his forties and the actress was sixteen.

Hi 17,

Sort of like Piper Laurie & Ronald Reagan.  She was 18 & he was 39.

And on the other side of things, Piper Laurie was 47 to a 23 year old Mel Gibson in 'Tim'.

Well, in newer movies such things are often part of the story line, like someone going through a mid-life crisis or something, but in the older movies it's just sort of matter-of-fact, like it's just the normal thing, not even mentioned or noticed as out of the ordinary.

Hi 17,

With the death of so many eligible men in WW II, it was not uncommon in Europe after the war.

Again, this is very common in modern films too.
