Pedo-smile

Alexia looks 16, too.

She's by far, my favorite coworker. By FAR. Not just because she's hot, but also because she and I have the same opinion about stuff, have the same mindset (although mine's a littler weirder), hate the same people, and we found out even personal stuff about ourselves, we both do. She laughs at all my jokes, I laugh at all hers. As soon as a strange customer walks away, we both walk to the back room and joke about it. We walked to the back, and I say to her (as if she were that guy) "Sir, she's 17. If I don't have a chance, you don't." Alexia just laughed her ass off.

Why do people label this kind of activity with the word "pedophile"? Why? A pedophile is an adult who is sexually attracted to children. That man is a hebephile, an adult who is aroused by adolescents. Sigh.

Thank you, couldn't think of the word....

On another thought, depending on state, that may be completely legal.

[ahanix1989]

Legal, maybe. Appropriate, no.

It's still 16 in georgia, but up until the mid eighties, it was 14.

The Age of Consent here in Canada disgusts me. Fourteen is way too low to me.

Actually, age of consent in Canada is determined provincially. Please don't put Alberta's standards on the rest of us (says the girl who lives in Quebec, where girls can get MARRIED at 14 with parental consent *sigh* and TONGUE in CHEEK people LOL).

Ok that's it...

My Canadian pals, be ready for a semi truck delivery of all the annoying little 14-17 year olds that scam on the guys in my age group (20-24) within a week or so.

Auf Wiedersehen, tweens and teenieboppers!

Yes, I was the annoying little twit of a 15 year old who scammed on 20 year olds back in the day, and I was so naive that I was actually confused as to why so many older girls wanted to kick my ass. Now that I AM the 20 year old girl who keeps losing guys my age to those little twits...........I can understand. And I feel horrible.

I actually know a pedophile, who for obvious reasons I'm not going to name here. He doesn't actually act on his desires, and suffers from severe depression and feelings of guilt because of his drives. He avoids children as much as he possibly can as well, because he feels like a danger to them.

So I'm kind of anti the stereotyping of all pedophiles as predators.

[chainedbarista]

how about cretin or pervert instead?

how about those young 20 somethings who like to 'scope' the younger girls? those little bastards are the ones that i'd love to castrate with a very dull rusty spoon (a friend's 14 yo daughter was almost raped by one...> ).

it is creepy, but unless they do something a bit more...offensive, i'm guessing nothing can be done about it; unwanted attention from creepy males of any age is upsetting, but more so to me, at least, when it's someone old enough to be your grandfather.

Yeah, you're really losing out on some winners there.

I suspect you can do much better. The twits are doing you a favour.

(FWIW, I think the site the OPO linked to is a joke, not to be taken seriously).

But a lot of people do.
The author's released a book and a comic book. The book is quite funny, no idea about the comic yet.

Yeah that happens all the time around here...even to me, and I am 28! How they get into the bars is beyond me. While I don't want to take credit for it, I have never heard anyone else besides my group of friends use this term to describe underage girls who dress like skanks.

Prostitots

[myswtghst]

I actually have heard the term prostitots elsewhere, but I'm not sure where. My brain says South Park, but I'm not sure its correct, it may have been on one of the gossip sites I occasionally browse at work. *shrugs*

Not trying to steal your thunder though, as I do find it amusing.

By the by, we were discussing today that almost any time a guy tells a girl in the 12-15yo age bracket that she looks much older than she is, it's usually a creepy perv thing. I was told this all the time when I was younger, and I realize now that it was blantantly untrue--I've always looked my current age or younger. My coworker's daughter is 12 but, um, well-developed, and someone told her that the other day, in front of her mother. Ew.

[infavorofnaturalselection]

This is getting away from the customers issues but in all honesty what we consider pedophilia today was actually considered quite normal before the 20th century. Used to be very old men were married to twelve year old girls in this country, it was considered prim and proper since said old man was very wealthy.

It's funny how quick certain states changed the legal age to get married when a 14 year old got married to someone who was 35 or older. That was when it become published in the papers even though it likely happened a lot of times prior to then.

We use it down here in good 'ol MA, must be a New England thing! Last summer we saw a prostitot walking around town here with those stupid shorts with words on the butt that said "Rape Me." She couldn't have been more than 13 or 14. My fiance seriously went absolutely apeshit irate when he saw that.
