“And you prefer girls having a succession of “hookups” instead, and winding up at 24, jaded, having difficulty with bonding due to too many heartbreaks, and likely with herpes and other sexual diseases?”

So you assume all girls not married by 16 are whores and sluts???

Wow.

Nowhere is Phil condoning any of this stuff you have said. To claim otherwise is not being honest.

This whole thing is something Phil has said in his testimony, on the show, and in his book. It is a joke. Here is the excerpt from his book where he says the same thing:

"Miss Kay was the perfect woman for me. I was sixteen and she was fifteen when we were married. Nowadays some people might frown on people getting married that young, but I knew that if you married a woman when she was fifteen, she would pluck your ducks. If you waited until she was twenty, she would only pick your pockets. Now, that's a joke, and a lot of people seem to laugh at it, but there is a certain amount of truth in it. If you find a nice, pretty country girl who can cook and carries her Bible, now, there's a woman."

You missed the second paragraph of the post you're quoting, where I said "Maybe not marriage at 16, but I think girls should look at being married by 22".

The average age at which girls these days become sexually active, is around 17. They will go though a number of sexual partners before perhaps settling down in their late 20's.

I'm saying that perhaps it would be better if they got married earlier than late 20's, like early 20's.

I wonder how many couples get married right out of high school nowadays?
