How can a girl have sex with these pathetic teenage wrecks?

Or - friends with ghastly taste in men/women/both - classic or dud? Classic because you can laugh about it later (or AT THE TIME when the friend isnt around)? Dud because they'll always be miserable aw and you have to put up with their special friends while it lasts?

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: This is not referring to *anyone* on this board!! It's more of a hypothetical question for me since nobody my friends have gone out with has been that awful, or at least we've not found out until later.

Oh no actually wait. But John doesn't post here and I went out with T**** too so it doesn't count.

― Tom, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

AND of course both John and I now have fantastic taste in women.

God, what a mistake this thread may well have been.

I realise the hypocrisy of me saying I saw "pathetic teenage wrecks" and thought this was some thread of Toms discussing my love life.

My friends always go out with people I think are fucking tools. But then they're all mates with people I think are tools also. I try not to talk to the person and my friends fall back on me when they break up for cutting remarks about their now hated ex. This is a permanent cycle, like the seasons. Every now and again I get a lecture from one of them, my friends I mean. This dissipates into light piss taking. It's all quite fun really once you know the part you're playing.

How? Very easy: copious amounts of alcohol.

My roommate dates nothing but horror stories - we're talking stalker level horror stories. Not classic at all.

'Pathetic teenage wrecks' - ?? I think the usual problem is girlz going with people FAR TOO OLD FOR THEM. Teenage would be a step in the right direction.

I like Tom E's question, it gets me thinking. BUT my answer is negligible thanks to lack of examples in my life. In fact it is seemingly non-existent.

Oi Tom - watch it!

I agree with the Pinefox. I have a friend, who, when she was about 14, went out with and moved in with a man in his early to mid twenties. Not to pass judgement or anything, but is this not approaching paedophilia?

― Bill, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Strictly speaking it's more than approaching.

Pinefox - the thread title is a Pulp quote and can be ignored!

Sometimes it just HAPPENS you go with older men, thank you very much, Pinefox. And sometimes it HAPPENS that you have such low self-esteem you will let yourself be treated like utter shit by some "older men" who consider you just something to be used when they're drunk and cos you're so RUBBIDGE you let them. Ah well, it all adds to my increasing bitterness quotient which'll serve me in good stead when I become one of those lesbiotic feministas.

NB I am not talking about anyone who posts on this board - not that I am ILE board slut and might have done stuff with anyone who DOES.

Classic: if no-one gets seriously hurt. Dud dud dud: if you end up with ghastly people cos yr self-esteem is NOWT.

Bah humbug.

― Sarah, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

perhaps older men are wiser and kinder, and know how to treat you like a lady?

ps i wd rather eat my arm than date a teen, gender irrelevant

Some of them do :)

Mostly it is the curse of me and the 27yr old, I'm sure. Dammit, today I am on a high horse of "I'm ACE dammit and do not deserve to be single and lonely in a flat where I can't even have a CAT".

It's a matter of taste and interpretation...your pathetic teenage wreck might be someone else's dreamy dirty dronerock boy.

I get very annoyed when gurls I know moan about what shitty men they go out with, basically cos no-one fancies me. I are nice! I are also perpetually overlooked.

One of my best friends dates this kid who is like downright abusive. I mean, she told us this story where they both bashed each other's car windshields in for some reason that I couldn't suss. I mean, honestly now.

I feel this way about certain ex-coworkers of mine; in particular, a guy who plays in a local rock band (not a famous or even semi-well-known one). He's a classic loser--in his 40s at least but tries to pass himself off as much younger, from Queens but tries to sound British, talks about the has-been who-cares band he used to be in incessantly (we got copies of their CDs into the store one time and he looked to see if they were there every single day; when one was missing he was like, "We must have sold it," and god how I wanted to yell "NO, YOU BOUGHT IT BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE ON EARTH WANTS IT!"), and basically if you were a woman and looked even close to the age of consent he dogged you around the store incessantly. Thing is, he actually dated a couple of them, and the only thing you were left thinking was "Girl, you have no self-esteem at all, do you?"
