Q: “Let me ask you this. Do you remember—these girls, would it be unusual for you as a 32 year old guy to have dated a woman as young as 17? That would be a 15 year difference or a girl 18. Do you remember dating girls that young at that time?”
A: “Not generally, no. . . .” [In plain English, that means “Yes, sometimes.”]
Q: But you don't specifically remember having any girlfriend that was in her late teens even at that time?
A: I don't remember that and I don't remember ever dating any girl without the permission of her mother. [In plain English, that means “I remember that I always asked the mother for permission whenever I dated a teenager.”]
Has he since corrected these admissions? He seems to state as a 32 year old, he dated a 17 year old. Ew.
Moore speaks in parenthesis brackets? Cool! Where can I learn to do that?
I think it is a matter of times and opinions changing. In the old days, 40 years is a while back, men tended to there careers and married later when they could afford to keep a stay at home mom. The girls mothers were probably very happy to have a man like Moore dating their daughters.
I am old and can remember a time when women over 30 and not married were consider “old maids.”
St 18/19 I dated a 31 year old and was crazy about him.
1981 in Alabama.
I have to laugh about all of this foolishness about intergenerational dating.
My grandfather was 41 when he returned from Vimy Ridge in 1918. He married my grandmother who was 16 and they had 7 children.
And now adays everyone is saying “ew!”/S
What a load of crock. You are simply ignoring the nature of relationships between the sexes. Political correctness knows no bounds.
There is almost 17 years difference between my husband and I. He is only 5 years younger than my mom and dad. I was in the 3rd grade when he was in the army. It’s not that unusual. We have been married for 33 years. I’m 63; he’s 80.
“He seems to state as a 32 year old, he dated a 17 year old.”
So. 17 years old is a grown woman.
