    or with parental consent.

    Eww, that line tells you all you need to know about this guy. And the fact that this is actually legal in some states is disturbing.

    53 and looking for someone “of age or with parental consent”?

    Excuse me while I go and vomit.

      Yeah, I’m getting divorced at 35 and matching with women younger than 30 freaks me out. This mf’r wants a 17yr old? Yuck.

          Wonder how young it can be by Texas laws, but also don’t want to look it up and be put on a watchlist.

            If you’re not trying to help someone get an abortion or gender-affirming care, you’re probably safe. Those are the real issues! (Sarcastic, if not clear, and referencing the absurd reporting websites some states have set up)

            According to Wikipedia, Texas doesn’t have a “with parental consent” law. If he’s 53, she’s gotta be 17 or older. They wouldn’t be able to get married until she turned 18.

        I got divorced in my late 20s, and started dating again around 30. A girl I had met who was 21 asked me why I hadn’t asked her out, and the truth was she seemed way out of my league - very attractive person, very bright. So I went out with her, and she was nice, but I just couldn’t do it because she seemed so young. Not immature, just young. And it was so strange going out with someone who hadn’t even seen the same TV shows as I watched growing up, which sounds superficial, but it was honestly weird.

        I just can’t imagine dating someone decades younger than me. An underage person with a 53-year-old is just gross.

          Feel ya. I was 50 and some young neighbors were hanging out one Saturday, 20-yo or so. I noticed a friend’s hands were absolutely perfect, beautiful hands. Slim, long, porcelain white.

          And it grossed me out. They looked like doll’s hands, a child’s hands. Eww.

          My wife, same age, doesn’t understand why I so love her hands. They have age, maturity, I love them.

          Anyways, this dude freaks me out.

            Valuing each other’s “mileage” is so wholesome and needs to be normalized. Too many of us are taught we have this tiny window of being pleasing to look at before the “imperfections” start getting toted up…and it isn’t true. I can’t imagine being with someone in their early 20’s. That’s still a kid in my eyes! They need to BE a kid and experience relationships with other kids where they are equals in figuring out everything together.

            My partner and I are about a year apart in age and we remember all our weird awkward growing up moments together where we struggled to figure things out and each one is a treasure. They if anything get just get more and more attractive with age.

        I genuinely don’t understand this thinking. The idea of partnering with someone who doesn’t share a similar life experience sounds difficult and frustrating.

        I get that they’re not looking to partner with anyone and that’s the point.

          Meh, I always found that a bit rigid. I don’t have a problem with a 60 and a 30 year old person getting it on if they both want it. Maybe something simple like “Don’t try to exploit immature people, you massive creep.”

              I get that, and agree with that, I was just replying to the often cited “rule” mentioned by the commenter above, that I feel some are taking too seriously.

              Edit: Oh, wait, you’re the commenter above. Well, I’ll just leave my comment like it is, I guess.

        Also the emphasis on ride or die tells me he’s going to be controlling right from the start. And the “follow god’s instincts” tells me he thinks his instincts are god’s.

    The rest of you are correct. I want to loop back to the start.

    “God’s instincts”? The fuck man. The church of my youth would string him up for suggesting that either “God operates on instinct” or that “human’s should operate on instinct”.
