[Bloody Sam Roberts]

The level of probability of evading complicated situations from associating with these types of females is proportional to the age of the male.

As you and I can probably attest as we are today, we see this type of thing and say, "How can anyone be so stupid?"

But upon reflection, I say, "How did I ever survive being 18?"

[ArrogantBustard]

Quite ... How did I survive being 23?

Seriously ... a 14yo girl who looks and conducts herself like a 21 year old woman is attractive to a normal 23 year old man. At 18, or at 23, we faced a real problem of discerning the age of the young ladies with whom we wished to consort. 15 will get you 20.

At my current age, if I weren't married ... even a real 23 year old woman wouldn't be terribly interesting except in the abstract.
