re: When did you let your daughter start going on dates?

there is a Frostop right around the block from my house.

well, you might want to hide your TD account avatar pictures from your daughter so that she doesn't get any ideas as to how women should be objectified/treated by men.

would be funny if she did accidentally see them and then started twerking toward all the 2nd grade boys to get their attention...just like daddy likes!!!

Ah, the dark duality of man...

Idk how to move past that.

You don’t have to. I’ll own it
She was super hot though

You are being obtuse.

About what?

quote:

. Not “dating”...but definitely start teaching them how to interact with people and the opposite sex.

---

At that age, are they supposed to change the amount of respect they give between boys and girls? How do you expect those teachings to hold up when the sex part comes around. Dating between a boy and girl is about sexualization whether you admit or not. Notice the daughter doesnt go on dates with other girls.

Was at a kids party yesterday and the kids were play fighting with some foam mat things. Little girl kept hitting my son with hers, and after about 5 times he whopped her back and she started crying.

Had to explain to him the dynamics of the situation.

---

Did you tell him he couldn't hit her back because shes a girl?

Life gives us so many opportunities to mold our children, and if we don’t do it, the world and the media will.

---

Well teaching a child about dating at 7 years old isnt the only way to mold your child and teach them life lessons. You can still teach them dating, but it would probably work better when they can understand sexual dynamics better and have experienced sexual attraction. It's kind of a HUGE aspect of dating. Otherwise it seems like you could teach life lessons through other means.

“Oh, look at me, i’m Tiggertooth and i’m Going to misrepresent everything you say”.

I've misrepresented nothing. I'm trying to stay on topic about young, barely school-aged children being involved in a dating context. Your son being hit by that girl is not the context involved here.

quote:

---

Of course he knows to hold doors and help out the elderly especially too. But once again there are dynamics of social mores in play.

---

That women should be treated on a different level?

quote:

---

You are writing all sorts of things I didn’t say anything about into your own commentary. What is your major malfunction? Just because I didn’t mention other things doesn’t mean i’m excluding them.

---

Sorry, I thought you were talking with respect to young barely school aged children dating.

Really, I guess supervised hangouts around 14-16 and unserpvised around 17-18.

Once they start driving or have friends that do all bets are off baw.

I'm going to put the fear of God into them when those little shite heads start coming around

No teenage kid is going to be scared of you. They know you won’t do shite to a kid

The whole neighborhood feared my dad

I was never afraid of my girlfriends parents, the vast majority of adults are smart enough to know they shouldn’t touch someone else’s kid.

Nah, it’s not. My 16 year old has been to severa

I’ve never heard of the term before. Maybe there are some geographic differences in its prevelance.

This shite...right here. Interaction =\= sexualization, especially at a young age.

100%.

If you can’t get this through your thick skull you are hopeless. Everyone gets treated differently based on how they act and other intangible factors. You know this.
