And the back of a night club - have you no home to go to?
I'm 28 now, and the young ones back in the day would have been between 18-24. And its not uncommon for randy people to fornicate behind night clubs, in public toilets, up against a tree, on the bonnet of car, and other random public places. Or least that used to be the case. Ahh to be young again. I'm feeling nostalgic now.

Too much CCTV now:eek: - although some people like that
.
As for being young again, I think you might have another few years left to go forth and fornicate:D0 -

Aside from just 'scoring' I've actually noticed a recent trend of women in their early/mid 30's starting relationships with guys in their 20's. I personally know of 3 separate couples that have started relationships this year where the woman was much older. IME the only time women in their 30's/40's might not have alot of success with the opposite sex is when they have children from a previous relationship that potential suitors might see as excess baggage.
Hmmm, I do know a few older women/younger men couples myself but the opposite of this would be far more prevalent in my experience. But yeah, having a kid at any age hinders things. Ask my cousin who got pregnant at 19 by a total loser. Silly girl. :-/The general rule is half your age plus seven years.shopaholic01 wrote: »Jesus, there's actual rules now :eek:
It's tongue-in-cheek, surely?
Going by that rule, I can go as low as a 21 year old fella - er, no thanks! 0 -

True, but its a shame when something that could have made a good talking point turns into an anti men/anti women rant from the usual suspects.
Oi, I'm one of the 'usual suspects' and I clearly said that both genders get an equal amount of pressure put on them by society because let's face it, they do.

You don't seriously believe that do you? You actually think that women find it just as difficult to get laid as men do? The same women that get approached multiple times on a night out by poor bastards, that more times then not, end up going home alone? Not to mention that most pubs/clubs usually have a 10:1 ratio of men:women so I'm not sure if your theory holds much weight to be honest.0 -

Look, love, this time next year I should have my maths phd, so I'm fairly confident that exactly what the fat guy's rules are saying is that I should have sex with a 16-year old
However, since I am a gentleman first and foremost and a mathematician second, I am prepared to wait until the lass is 17.0 -

You're missing my point. Being approached countless times by drunk men isn't as great as you might think it is. Women generally have are mostly approached by men they couldn't enjoy sex with so how is that so great.0 -

Ah I see what you're trying to say, but your argument still holds absolutely no weight in my opinion as women STILL have more options then men and really always will.
But back to your argument. So in a nutshell you are implying that most average looking women have superiority complexes and only aim for Calvin Klein model's with perfect hair and six-pack abs? If a guy doesn't come up to her ridiculously high standards then they are compared to obese women, particularity actresses from a certain cockney soap opera?

Women on average have a lot fewer men to choose from who are appealing. In a woman's world a much higher percentage of men are the equivalent of the fat woman on Eastenders as they are usually needy which is probably close to the equivalent of being grossly obese.
What?! Speak for yourself buddy. I rarely find a woman that would be suitable for me ie. Good looking, smart, not overweight, good job, not broody, good personality, nice gee...
You're right in that I would ride anything, but they're discarded from my life real quick. False name, false address, false number, helps 0 -

I'm talking about sex not relationships, there are a lot more women out there that you'd enjoy riding compared than men women would enjoy riding. I just don't think women have all the power. Why aren't they all overjoyed with happiness if their lot is so good.0 -
I don't think he is. I kinda see where he's coming from. Lets imagine a gorgeous looking woman with a personality to match, a person that would appear to hold all the romantic cards, however because of the (usual)societal thing that the man does the chasing, she really only has the choice of men who decide to actually chase. If she does decides to do the chasing herself, chances are she'll be thought of as a little odd, even a "slut" by some knuckledraggers and quite a few men will be put off by it. You often hear really good looking women complain that all they meet are medallion men asshats and rarely meet nice guys. Compare her to the same criteria in an imaginary bloke, as he'll be doing the running he has more choice over initial encounters.
I suppose for the average it pretty much evens out. Women being generally the pursued are limited to those men who will make some sort of effort at pursuit and men being the ones generally doing the pursuing are limited by how confident they are at doing so.
I know what you're saying but honestly I think it will only ever even out if both genders take equal responsibility. IMO women need to break free from this outdated perception that they feel that they must conform to to appease society. As it stands women go to <insert social situation here> and get approached by men yet very rarely do the approaching themselves. This needs to change!
From what I've observed, if a woman is interested in a guy they will usually put themselves into a position to be approached, but 9 times out of 10 times they would never approach a guy under any circumstances. I'm sure you've seen it a million times. A girl clearly fancies a guy in a bar so she will make eye contact, flash a smile, play with her hair, etc but will very rarely stand up, walk over and say "Hi" to the guy.
Obviously some women do take the initiative, and more power to them, but generally speaking men do all the chasing and take most of the rejection and, like I've said, this needs to change if the dating scene is to be viewed as a level playing field.Scanlas The 2nd wrote: »Why aren't they all overjoyed with happiness if their lot is so good.
Because they're women. If they had nothing to complain about then they'd have nothing to talk about 0 -
