Have you ever checked someone out

[XemaSab]

and then realized that they were underage?

[slackmaster]

1. I regard anyone who looks under about 40 years old as underage for me

:hi:

[cliffordu]

38. The way I heard it it was 58, but that's ok......

[xchrom]

2. ...

:spray:

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

3. An hoteliers poll?

:freak:

[sinkingfeeling]

4. Nice one answer poll you've got.

[Modern_Matthew]

5. Of course. At 23, it happens more than I'd like. nt

[Drale]

6. As a 23 year old male sometimes

it difficult to tell if a girl is 16 or 20 sometimes, and it makes you think twice before talking to them.

[Modern_Matthew]

9. I share your pain. nt

[white_wolf]

20. As someone who is 21 I sympathize.

[darkstar3]

Have you watched any Hollywood movies lately?

A few times I've seen someone I thought was very attractive on screen, only to find out later that person was 17, 16, or in one frightening instance 15. My reaction is always the same: I hear Alonzo Bodden's bit about "Now I did not KNOW that I was a pedophile..." and then immediately think "Well maybe if they're underage they shouldn't be half naked on screen!"

[Odin2005]

47. Technically that would be "Ephebophile" Pedos are attracted to PREPUBESCENT kids.

[darkstar3]

49. Yes, I know that, but comedy bits are often incorrect even though they stick in your head.

[Confusious]

7. no

i like girls with good hips. underage girls don't have hips.

my closest friend has done it moremthen once though. i had to tell him they were underage.

[RaleighNCDUer]

41. That is an incredibly poor guideline, there.

"Girls without hips are underage" does not equal "girls with hips are of age".

There are plenty of girls even as young as 13 & 14 who appear physically mature - particularly today, when girls are maturing a year, two years earlier than they did when I was growing up.

If that is your criterion, I guarantee you have been checking out underage girls.

[Confusious]

42. no i have others

but usually my taste falls, well did fall, to older women, who are my age now.

i can't name all the criteria, becuase i don't know them all myself. it's usually just a "feeling,"

how a person acts, how a person carries themselves, etc..etc..

i may not not have good social skills, but i am perceptive about people.

[Skidmore]

8. Jesu, what an idiotic waste of bandwith.

Why all the seeking justification for viewing children as sexual objects when there is none?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

19. Please elaborate a bit more about the OP's intentions. I'm interested in your opinion. -nt

[MindPilot]

22. There are some DUers who are psychic.

They are able to descern a poster's real intentions and hidden motivations despite any effort the poster makes at attempting to hide their inner malfeasnace with written words.

[Skidmore]

30. It seems to me that there is a push today on this board to

provide a rationale for children to be viewed sexually. As a survivor of child sexual abuse, I'm disgusted in general by this. There is no justification for it.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

32. Interesting. Do go on.

Why do you think this is happening?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

33. because it follows from her posts on my thread. nt

[XemaSab]

36. I'm not saying that checking out underage people should happen

I'm saying that despite our best intentions, it totally does happen, and pretending it doesn't or that people who check out someone underage are horrible sex perverts is ridiculous.

Now if you realize that the person is underage and you decide to act on it knowing that information... THAT'S a problem.

[pintobean]

10. A lot of 14 year olds have adult looking bodies.

It really sucks when you're checking a good looking back side and the person turns around to reveal a child's face with braces. Instantly guilt-stricken.

[MindPilot]

13. And then you realize the hot chick she's with

is her mom.

Yeah, that's disturbing alright.

[EC]

11. Now that I'm old

almost everyone looks like children and jail bait to me.

[pintobean]

12. +1

[La Lioness Priyanka]

16. i am 32 and 19 year olds look like children to me.

[anneboleyn]

35. We are not even forty yet, but the college students look so young to us.

The college students look so very young now. It's hard to believe that we looked that young, but we must have back then...

[MineralMan]

14. My father told a funny story...

He owned an auto shop in a small town, right on the main street. Like with many auto shops, there was always a group of men who dropped by for coffee in the morning and stood around chewing the fat early in the morning. Well, the shop was on a street lots of high school kids used to walk to school.

One day, they were standing around, when a group of high school girls walked by. One of the men in the group said, "Nice ass on that one on the left."

My father pointed out to the guy that the one on the left was the guy's daughter.

Oops. Sort of an embarrassing moment for the guy, I'd think.

[MindPilot]

21. Happened to me once too.

Driving near my house with a friend; I saw a woman walking down the street and I said something along the lines of "she's got a wide ass..." To which my friend replied, "I think that's your wife."

[Codeine]

23. I can top that, unfortunately.

At work many years ago I glanced over through the front windows at someone walking up to my store and thought "Good lord that's a great pair of -- OMG that's my mom!!"

True story, shamefully.

[MineralMan]

27. TeeHee....

Now that's embarrassing.

[Confusious]

43. i was visiting an uncle who i hadn't seen in 20 years

I was passing through the hallway and saw a picture of a young woman and thought "she's kind of hot" askd my uncle who she was.

"that's your grandma"

barf time.

[XemaSab]

45. God, I'd sure like to suck on...

...oh...wait...I have... :o

[MineralMan]

24. Ha! More embarrassment, eh?

Stuff happens. With luck, we learn from it.

[MineralMan]

15. Not for decades. When I was in my early 20s, yes.

Now, I'm less of a horn dog, it seems. :rofl:

[EFerrari]

17. Probably not since I was underage.

Although, if that person is ten years younger than I am, it still feels as if they are underage. lol

[Gormy Cuss]

31. +1

[walldude]

37. LOL.. when I hit 40 anyone under 25 looked

like a kid to me... Probably more like anyone under 30... I took my mother in law to court today, and the Public Defender looked to me like the kids in my sons high school.

Getting old... sucks.

[EFerrari]

40. Some of it does.

I don't miss unwanted attention from strangers, though. Not a bit.

[lapislzi]

18. How would I know?

That being said, I am 50 years old, and I'm not checking out young hotties, except in the most abstract way. As in, "that's a handsome kid." When I was 21, I "checked out" age appropriate men. Maybe a couple of them were underage, but I would not have known unless I spoke to them. I never had sexual contact with a person whose age I did not know.

[TheCowsCameHome]

25. Bwahahaha.

Great poll choices!

[ladywnch]

26. when I was 14 I was working in my father's store and had some

20-something guy and his friend hitting (hard) on me and wouldn't believe that I was only 14 (I had always passed for older) until one of my older co-workers confirmed my age. The guy turned ash white at the realization he had been hitting on a child. One of the more fun (now - scary at the time) moments of my youth.

[HughBeaumont]

28. You know what's weird?

Last year, I went to Cedar Point with my (then) 14 year old son. With all of the girls surrounding him, I literally was not able to tell girls who were his age (judging by the fact that they wore HS attire as opposed to college/sorority gear) from the college-age ones. Before, you were able to. Now, they all just have young faces and developed bodies.

We were up in Maine and even my kid got mistaken for an 18-year old, which is bizarre since he looks like a very young 6' 1" kid even at 15.

[EFerrari]

34. The first dance I went to was in San Salvador,

someone's coming out party. As the tourist, I was surrounded by boys immediately who must have been in their mid-teens. Shortly after some delegate from the chaperones' corner informed them I was all of 11.

[Courtesy Flush]

29. But what's underage?

I'm 51. In theory, a 30 year old would not be too young for me. In reality, I see few 30 year olds who don't look like children to me.

[REP]

39. Yeah, that dude rocking that tight ass was 9

:sarcasm:

No. Pretty good at discerning adult men from boys.

[darkstar3]

44. No one suggested 9 was the problem age.

How about 17? Think you could tell the difference, especially when people between the ages of 16-25 are generally difficult to discern between?

[REP]

50. Easily.

There are so many tells at that age.

[Odin2005]

46. As a 24yo myself it's annoying common for me

It's kind of hard to tell the person's age just by looking at them. I had a classmate who when she was 14 looked like she was 20.

[XemaSab]

48. I had a neighbor who looked 16+ when she was 12

I didn't know her when she was 11. :p
