>> #1, yes. If I was walking in the mall, and I her, and knew she was the age of majority, I would probably look twice. Maybe three times if I saw her approaching a far distance ahead. #2, no. I do not find number two particularly attractive.>>
It seems you are trying to walk that fine line between defending a position and not appearing creepy yourself. fair enough but lets ask relevent detailed questions. Would you "oogle" *images* of 18 and 19 year old girls on a hard core porn sight that is trying to make them appear to be 13, 12 or even 11 years old? Would you find any guy especially an old fart like Clark "oogling" such *images* to be creepy if not worse? Now lets take another, closer look at what was in the movie. we have images of girls portrayed as under age in their panties and bras in one case actually engaged in intercourse and in the other case proclaiming their "wetness" while straddling a guy in his underwear and expressing her desire to have that guy "inside her." My extreme example is basically the same thing taken to a more obvious level. Both are barely legal girls portrayed as under age girls in sexually explicite situaltions. I think any old fart looking at that and proclaiming the girls' hotness is IMO creepy. This is a far cry from "looking twice at a girl that you know is 18 or older in public at a mall."
>> Here is a question for you: You suggest that you would not oogle late teen type gals because your daughter is approaching that age,>>
I didn't say I would not "oogle" such girls becuase of my daughters age. I only mention my daughter's age because it brings it home for me.
>> and the thought of you oogling girls her age makes you feel, well, creepy.>>
Lets be clear the thought of guys my age and older "oogling" girls of that age is IMO creepy.
>> I trust that she will continue to get older. When she is thirty, will you refuse to oogle thirty year old women because they are your daughter's age, and they could be her friends? >>
My daughter's age does not set the bar of what I think is and is not creepy. Older guys "oogling girls portrayed as under age in sexually explicite scenes will be creepy when my daughter is thirty as it was when my daughter was five as it was whe i was a teenager as it will be wehn i am 80. It does however bring it home for me. If a stranger is murdered in Nigeria it is wrong. If a member of your family is murdered it is wrong and it brings the wrongness of murder home to you. If guys want to "oogle" my daughter when she is thirty I don't really care. As far as my "oogling" goes I don't do it period. I work on a regular basis with beautiful young women. One of the reasons I continue to work with them is because I don't "oogle" them.
