About the 25 year old co-worker, I think you did the right thing. At least you let him know there is a better way than to just go get stone drunk and lay some chick for a one night stand. Anyways, a one night stand can come back and bite him in the butt, in that case, either he will be forced to "grow up" or run away, unfortunatly, I've seen a lot of the latter. Unfortunatly, it is part of our "I want it in 30 minutes" society. Stay the course, man, maybe it will rub off on him, we can always hope.

BTW, I did score an old CD player, a GE model 3-7000A that was made in May of 1984. I was over my friends condo and at the dumpster, it was sitting beside the dumpster in the drizzling rain. I took it home, fired it up, the only thing os that it doesn't slide out the carriage for the CD to eject it. I took the top off and helped it to eject, it worked and I put a CD in it and it played. I used the headphone jack to listen to it. All it needs is a belt and the rack might need lubed and it should be good to go. It is meant for a component stereo system, it was made when CD players costed around $1000 or so.

Well..TODAY, at work this kid made SURE I knew all about his escapades this weekend. He did go out and get drunk, he did find a woman (20 Y.O.), he did have intercourse several times and is planning for more.

But he could NOT leave things at that!!

(The following is NOT meant to be derogatory in any way to women, I am paraphrasing what was discussed between this guy and another coworker. I will make it as DECENT as possible, while trying to show what was said.)

He and Chuck began talking about women in general, and this led to some VERY crude talk , in particular about "the hygiene of the female genitalia", If you get my drift. It went back and forth for a few seconds, then they stopped talking. I just responded with the same type of thing I had on Friday. ::

"I Will just repeat that I hope you finally start to grow up soon, and realize that women exist for more than your sexual pleasure for a night or two, and instead for something more lasting and meaningful."

However..he responded that he was gong to "see her again, and it looked to be something more than just a night or two(but he reminded me that the had already "done it" several times, and was planning for more.")

This is the kind of thing I have to put up with on a regular occasion from him and another younger tech there. To them. I am the WEIRD ONE, for wanting a woman as a companion and as a friend, instead of as a "conquest".

And women think I am a Neanderthal.
