Ah, I remember back when I had no standards and would date anything that was cute, horny, could carry on a minimally intelligent conversation, and had a nice car.

Yes, the good ol' days....wow, has good conversation gone completely out the window? I'm 37 and I've dated (2) 23 yr olds....no offense darlin, but they didnt cut it, in "any" sense.... :)

So, your 18 year old girlfriend knows about your blog, but doesn't know that you post here. Fantastic.

"Crap, what did he just say? I was so busy staring at my own supple breasts that I didn't even hear him. Oh well."

I think we all now know why you are 26, unmarried and cannot keep a steady relationship: You're an ass and you don't respect women. I hate to disappoint you but even us late-teen/early-twenties women can spot people like you.

I'm down with cww's thinking, I just wouldn't have put it so delicately. ;)

If she makes you happy then all power to you. But that is a big gap in age. When I think back to how some girls (that I liked) were when they were 18, no way I'd want to deal with that level of maturity at my age now, and I'm only 24. Young girls can be really annoying sometimes.

I dont think the OP is an ass. Myabe a sprinkle too much of male bravdo?

I think that age should not come into it if you both want the same thing. The OP seem not to want a relationship. 18 year old girls tend to want the same where I'm from.

I actually thought this was going to be a rather tasteless (but funny) joke i knew.

Oh and i'm dating an 18 year and I'm 25.

I'd date an 18 year old if I was 26. As long as she was a mature 18 year old. I cannot tolerate immaturity - even now, I'm only 20, and I can't stand immature people.

Give me an 18 year old that looks like a woman and acts like a woman though, and oh boy...

ha ha Rich...now I know why I attract all the young boys....

Yeah, I definitely think it's all about the maturity level, which I have rarely found in an 18 year old girl......not that I go looking for them or anything.

not that I go looking for them or anything.

Yeah me neither.

I'm 22, living with my gf of 3+ years in a house we both bought in december. There's little more fulfilling than that IMO.

I don't see anything wrong with ccw's thought process here. It's logical. More mature women are usually looking to settle down, and he's not, so they're already excluded for the most part.

His decision here isn't based on youth, it's based on the state he and his partner are in. I'd wager that if he met a 26 y/o girl with the attitude of the 18y/o in this example there would be no problem there either.

I really don't think that age gaps matter at this point. I'd probably have a problem if he was 25 dating a 15 year old, but people mature at different rates so there are probably cases where that would work.

I think there are plenty of twenty to thirty year old women around who are not at all interested in relationships and prefer to concentrate on their education and career so this sounds strange to me.

I think, in these cases, that the guy can't get the smart women his own age-the ones who don't want relationships, so they go younger.

Right on Cooper!! thank you!

when i was 19, I dated a 15 year old and everyone hated me

And there may be plenty of 18 y/o males ready for commitment, the problem is they are far form being the majority. They're few and fear between. This thread seems very sexist against the OP despite him being clear that he wasn't dating a girl for her age alone, but her attitude.

I'm waiting for cww to chime in here somewhere...

For those that just cannot get enough, read from his rather broken blog. Just like this note, I'm guessing it is all for show. Picture an unhappily married bloke, balding, mid 30's with 2.2 kids, wearing 48'' trousers. Whether accurate or not, I find this more comforting than picturing him cruising the local high-schools looking for chicks.

The doctored image on the front page about eBay now auctioning babies is a very nice touch ;)

I suppose I shall chime in, though I don't really feel there's a need. As usual, we got our people with a sense of humor, and then we got our people who bear a cross everywhere they tread.

But, here we go:

Ozone42: thanks for accurately translating my statement in a manner that could be more easily digested by some of the less clear-headed posters here. I should pay you to translate all my posts.

cdnBlogFan: your assumptions are hilariously inaccurate. It also seems that while in your flustured alarmist state, you decided that the best way to demonize me in your mind was to picture me as being 35 and married, even though I already stated that I'm 26 and not anywhere near any kind of commitment. Good to see that you're catching up on the rest of CWW though... I look forward to you being my most avid reader once I fix my blog. I'll let you slide because you probably wrote this while you were on your period, and we all know how women get when they're on their period.
-P.S.: I'm sure you'll want to rock some CWW merchandise now that you've fallen in hate with me. You can get it here: http://www.cafepress.com/beaveraveprints

Cooper: those women who you say I "can't get" are great friends of mine. I love them dearly and would never want to ruin my relationship with any of them by attempting to become romantically involved, because as I already stated, I have no interest in commitment. You and cdnBlogFan should chip in for the CliffsNotes to this post, since you both are so quick to forget the facts. Send the check to Ozone42.

I really just thought you were a troll and merely said what I did for the record.

To be with anyone simply for the reason of needing to be with someone has always seemed pretty silly to me, but to each his own.

What I was saying was that there are more than enough twenty-one to thirty year old women out there who are not looking for a relationship because it interferes with their plans for their life - which at this time doesn't include a long term relationship, so it's curious you can't find one to hook-up with.

But I really thought you were just a troll starting a threat which you thought was provocative in some way.

I bear no crosses as a matter of fact I abhor crosses and all they represent.

I'm sure you'll want to rock some CWW merchandise...

Sorry, shit-brown isn't my colour.

Let me know if you need any help sorting out all those php errors.

18: "Crap, what did he just say? I was so busy staring at my own supple breasts that I didn't even hear him. Oh well."

You mean anyone would actually find that attractive?

I am 19--20 next month--and I would like to say I have never been the airhead that you seem to think all 18-year-old young women are, nor will I ever be. It is pitiful that you feel that way. You have likely missed out on some wonderful friendships (or more) with the opposite sex over the years, because of your poor understanding of young women. And, did you ever stop to think that one of the reasons some young women act like that is because people like you make them think that it's awesome that they do so?

Age has little to do with anything, but maturity has to do with a lot. I've known several people with seven, nine or even more years between them, but--and this is the big thing--they were mature, aware of their situation and willing to be committed to it. You're asking for trouble with this. Sure it's fun now, but have you even stopped to think of what's actually going on in this 18-year-old girl's mind? I promise you it's not her breasts. That would be what's apparently going through your mind. Nothing wrong with that, but please, think with your head up top for a second, all right?

Unless you've expressed your lack of interest in commitment to this girl--as in, point-blank told her you are NOT interested in a long-term relationship--no, this isn't okay. I hope you have, and she's understood the situation from the beginning, for otherwise you may be seriously setting her up for quite the heartache. Yeah, she actually has a heart and feelings beneath her breasts--imagine that!
