A discussion on a morning radio show got me thinking about this. Adult women are allowed to make sexually suggestive comments about young (teenage) boys, but when grown men admit to finding a teenage girl sexually attractive, they’re labeled as perverts.

I have to admit that this is something I’d never really given much thought to before. I work with a few women ranging in age from 25 to 40. They do it all the time, and no one raises an eyebrow, but – heaven forbid – if one of my male co-workers was standing there washing his hands in one of our new Kohler faucets and made a comment like, “If I was ten years younger I’d show her a thing or two,” and directed it toward, say, the 19-year-old college intern that worked on our drafting department for a short while, I guarantee you from that moment on he’d be considered the office creep.

On the flip side, some of my male friends have told me many times that during their teenage years, the ultimate fantasy for them was to hook up with an older woman. Do young girls fantasize about older men the way young boys seem to do this with older women?

What’s up with this double standard? Also, discuss any other double standards that irritate you.

The wife and I went to dinner tonight one of the local pizza restaurants in town and was seated next a table with 2 women and 3 older men.

I guess something happened with their order because the lady was making a huge fuss about having too much sauce on the pizza. She got pissy with the owner and was being a bitch to one of the waitresses while her (I think) husband was saying it was fine with him and everything was alright. Eventually she stormed off (probably to go take some alli) and refused to wait another 15 – 20 minutes for another pizza that was correct by her standards. She basically made an ass of herself and her party she was with.

This leads me to wonder, how could somebody act like this over something so minuscule?

I can honestly say that if a situation like this happened to me, I would be more than happy to accept a new pizza but I probably wouldn’t have complained about it in the first place.

What would you do in a situation like this?
