Come on, leave the guy alone. He's allowed to have a different moral code to you. [img]smile.gif[/img] Let's not ridicule him because of it.

Have you ever noticed giving love/relationship advice to someone is a lose/lose game? The sage advice is not to do it unless asked and even then be prepared to be berated for it. There's only two kinds of advice you can give to someone about love and relationships. The kind that's not listened to, and the kind that's not appreciated!

Well, this thread certainly grew since I last saw it. I saw Eternity's pics. I saw the accompanying text Avy posted. And I don't know how I feel about it. I, personally, feel that most everything of a personal nature on the forum should be conducted in private via PMs, e-mails, or chat. I have never been comfortable with personal issues being hashed out on a public forum. On the other hand, Avy has been quite "public" about his relationship with Erernity. I believe most of us are familiar with the chain of events as they have occured in this relationship.

I think we also have a clash of what is considered appropriate culturally, with us being a culturally diverse community. In the US, Eternity would be under-age (she is 17 I believe); I do not believe that she is under-age in the UK (I believe 16 is the legal age there.) This contributes more to the complexity of the situation.

I do think to assume that teenage feelings are merely lust is a bit misguided. I don't believe love or lust is dependent upon age. Nor do I believe that true love and sexual attraction are mutually exclusive; I tend to believe they go hand-in-hand.

I am a bit bewildered that this caused such a stir. I considered the post to be merely Avy having posted some pictures of Eternity and wanting to "show off" his girlfriend. Not the first or last time that this has occurred.

Hear, hear! Larry's a stand up guy and devoted father. Give him some room for his moral standing too! Although I must admit, I do feel some pity for the poor kid who tries to date his daughter when she's older!

Indeed... Many people already know what they're up to when they see Avatar being listed as the topic starter... After that, it's your own decision whether you wish to run the risk of actually entering it and reading the content or not. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Hehe...How's this one? Take the guy out back, nail his incriminating body-part to a stump, set the stump on fire, hand him a dull knife, and tell him good luck, as I walk away!
(That is not original...I read it somewhere from another father.)
