**Oh, that's not a guarantee. **
I never said anything was a guarantee.
Alright, dumbest troll ever. I'm out.
If you think it's ok for a 65 year old man to be platonically intimate with an 18 year old TERN
@rj88 So, does that magically change once you add another 730 days onto the 18 year old's birthday, and they are no longer a "teen" at 20? Like, the adult switch is turned on magically once they hit 19? Or what? When?
For such a bold statement, you sure are guaranTEEN a lot of things in this thread, my dude. The most noteworthy being that 18 year olds are still freshmen or sophomores in high school.
Call me a troll all you want. 65 year old men shouldn't be meeting 18 year old teen girls.
@Catloaf: Oh, the word is TEEN! I thought seabirds had entered the conversation for some reason. I was very confused.
I think it's also creepy if 65 year old men seek out 20 year old girls. I'm 34 and I think it's perverted if men by age met girls 18-20.
huh? 18 year old teen girls are normally seniors in high school.
@rj88
Dude, I totally get it. Back when I was eighteen I tried to cuddle with several different 65 year old men. Every single time my cuddle partner would have some friends "randomly" show up, and then BAM! I'd be staring at a lemon party. Just knee deep in sagging flesh. I should have learned to not trust older men when it came to platonic intimacy after the 37th time this happened, but what can I say? I was a dumb eighteen year old baby who'd only recently learned how to wipe my own anus and chew my own food.
You obviously haven't met many in the kink or fetish scene then. Because there's plenty of 18 year olds, you know, consenting legal adults, who want to be close to people who are older than them. You like your dessert vanilla? Cool. But remember your moral compass isn't everyone else's.
That's neither here nor there though. We're discussing a platonic activity, on a platonic website. I'll see myself out.
@DarkLordChungus
I know you were trying to be funny, but you don't have it. Don't quit your minimum wage day job (if you have one).
18 year old teen girls are normally seniors in high school.
Let me ask you this then: would it make a difference is the 18 year old was a dropout? Like, what significance does almost being out of high school hold to your point? You're just projecting your moral compass and by proxy sharing your opinion on the validity of long-standing statutes.
Like someone mentioned before, quit crying about it here. Go start a protest or something. I'll see myself out.

You're right, I haven't met those types of girls, but you seem to have a lot of experience with that.
** You like your dessert vanilla? Cool. But remember your moral compass isn't everyone else's.**
You can call me whatever you want. There is something wrong with you if you think it's ok for 65 year old men to meet teen girls.
Simply to be clear, my own taste in relationships is based on individuals, not ages, presuming everyone is a consenting adult.
My entire point in this thread is simply that, so long as it is consenting adults, and everyone is following Cuddle Comfort’s ToS, everything else is simply pointless barking.
those types of girls you seem to have a lot of experience with that.
Thanks for slut-shaming. Buh bye.

It doesn't make a difference. I'm just trying to point out that MOST 18 year old teen girls in the United States are seniors in high school.
I'm not crying about. But again, 65 year old men shouldn't be meeting 18 year old teen girls.
So you're the creepy 51 year old man meeting 18 year old girls.
You have a guilty conscience because I never said that.
@Catloaf: Solid point. On non-platonic sites, legal adults can vet people to meet for non-platonic activities no matter what their age gap is.
On this platonic site, legal adults can vet people to meet for platonic activities—again, no matter what the age gap.
And perversion doesn't really enter the scene when sex isn't involved, does it?
I'm being 100% serious. We make natural allies, you and I.
These other people don't understand. You get an elderly person in a platonically intimate situation with a young person and fluids are going to fly—no matter what. Or maybe powder, depending on how old the pervert is. And the youth will be covered in gum marks, and they'll reek of old man for weeks. I've seen it happen a thousand times. It's happened to me more times than I care to remember.
In 31 states the age of consent is 16. You think it's ok for 16 year old girls to be intimate with 65 year old men?
That's 100% untrue. Men and women can be perverts without sex.
How strange. It seems you've tried to make a point, but all it says is: "I don't like consenting legal adults meeting up with other consenting legal adults, and I perpetuate the toxic idea that most men on this site are dogs looking for a bone, and 18 year olds aren't capable of discerning for themselves who they want or don't want to cuddle with".
I am sorry that happened to you.
@rj88: Huh. Give me an example of perversion that doesn't involve sex?
(And explain where the perversion is, because I probably won't see it otherwise.)
A 65 year old man could spy on a 18 year girl undressing.
@rj88: And that's not related to sex... how?
Is the guy a doctor, or a concerned individual discreetly checking for signs of extreme physical abuse, or—? Because otherwise it seems like he'd have sex on the brain. In which case, you know... sex is involved.
A 65 year old man should be meeting an 18 year old girl. That's all I'm saying.
I never said anything about "most men on this site". I am only talking about the men here justifying the creepy behaviors.
I'm not sure if you're being serious or not. A 65 year old man is a pervert for spying on an 18 year old undressing, even if they never have sex.
Anybody at any age is a pervert spying on anybody undressing.
@rj88 ~ You okay?? Sheesh buddy. I think everyone gets that you think it's "creepy" for a 65 year old man to invite an 18 year old woman into his home to cuddle. And whether I agree or not isn't the point. The point is we're all allowed to come on here and speak our truth. We're also responsible for appropriately managing any criticism that may follow. And were all bound by the TOS to do so in a way that is respectful.
No matter your age, you get to make the choices that you make. You also get to suffer the consequences.
If you have legitimate concerns around this, or any subject, it may serve you well to take a breather, figure out your audience and deliver your thoughts in a way that invites others to consider them. Name calling, berating others, etc. are not good methods for getting others to validate your view, let alone agree with it.
