Before you panic no I'm not suddenly dating little girls, or even thinking about it. This is more a follow up to a point made by my (female) flat mate regarding the age difference between men and women.
As mentioned in my previous post, there are some very attractive women working with me at Tesco's Dundee CSC. In particular there were 4 very nice girls on our training team. Now for the sake of anonymity* I'll call them A1 and A2 for the two 21 year olds, and T1 and T2 for the two 17 year old. Now just from the naming convention you probably already have some insight into my views on this but allow me to continue anyway.
I'll admit that the first girl I noticed when I arrived was T1. In my defence her age is quite hard to place, and she pretty much ticks all my boxes, even optional ones like red hair, and strong sense of her own style. The next girl that caught my eye was A1, a small blonde girl, with a very attractive face and figure, wearing a slightly too tight top. Then there's A2, who is more subtly attractive (blondes always catch the eye first regardless of the competition). A2 is probably my favourite not just for looks but personality too. T2, I have to be honest, didn't really grab my attention till I realised she was checking me out. She's a very sweet girl with a nice smile, very quiet though.
So it was T2, and perhaps to a lesser extent T1 doing the same thing, that originally got me thinking about this. 17 to me seems _really_ young. Even 21 seems to be pushing it for me. But perhaps this is just me. At the end of the training week T2 pulled someone my age (25). Further more, according to my flat mate, when she was that age she was going out with a 26 year old.
So how young is too young? Is 21 too young for a 25 year old? Is 17? I'm not saying I'm interested in the T's, beside something pleasant to look at. I personally would definitely feel uncomfortable with that. I guess I'm just thinking aloud.
What do you think?
