Disturbing

To be perfectly honest, when I was a teenager, any chick that more than about three or four years older than us wasn't of much interest for the most part, fantasy wise. Of course, if she was showing interest, it would be a different story, but fantasy? No, a 40 year old woman wasn't in my dreams when I was 17.
however, it seems that any stories of young women and older guys seems to have entirely escaped fillum, unless he simply considers that any time an older guy and a younger chick hook up, it's because he raped her. Perhaps that's his fantasy. -

Hmmm, so the recurring theme that an old man's fantasy is to be the unprincipled patsy that cannot resist the seduction of a teenager is the plot here?
Hollywood, TV shows, and commercials have had that stereotype for quite some time where all men are inept horndogs that either do not think at all, or only briefly with the little head. Jennifer Garner in ALIAS looked barely legal, and was able to get the 'bad guys' at least distracted by her attire and actions. I hardly think it is a coincidence the series finished when she started a family in real life, and no longer looked the way she began in the show.
If you buy into that whole mess, you might as well not watch anything for entertainment, just go straight to the truly disturbing stuff and watch the Springer Show. Even the Montel Williams show has the 'paternity test' theme now and again, and one girl had been back eight times with the guy she was sure was the father of her baby, (still had not found the right one in eight tries!!) Just who is chasing who?Maybe it is an age/generation thing as to what is disturbing.
More and more, the young women are far from being helpless frail flowers. The local TV news was interviewing a family that had a Peeping Tom looking in their 16 year old daughter's window. The police caught the "suspect" at a hospital being treated for facial cuts! The girl saw the guy, and instead of cringing in terror and panic at a guy looking in her window, she smashed the window into his face!
Even I was told by an older co-worker that an 18 year old co-worker was interested in older men. This young woman had about seven weeks before she reported to Army Boot Camp. I cannot believe it was a co-incidence that within 30 minutes she came over to my work area and leaned or bent over in her low cut top, every time, in my direction. She was also standing about as close as possible to me, and she frequently bumped me with her arms. I didn't pursue it, but the signs were pretty clear that she wanted a date for the weekend.
I find the presumption that a girl would/cound not be interested in an older man or try to seduce and older man disturbing. -

Jennifer Garner wasn't that young when ALIAS started, and at no point during the run of the show did she look barely legal. -

"Disturbing because it's an old (41) man having sex with his daughter's friend"
Kind of worse than that, as Caine was 51, not 41 in 1984. That makes him THREE times her age. Plus, all the scenes when he talks about being at her christening, or at the hospital when she was born yuk yuk yuk. -

You really can't make such broad generalizations about who any one person might be attracted to.Most of the high profile recent cases of female teachers getting involved with underage male students underscores this.Many are attractive married women with families,yet some loose screw(uhno pun intended) induces them to view these children as romantic partners.
I suspect also,that the vast majority of young girls who fantasize about older men tend to envision the "bring me flowers and hold my hand" type of romantic fantasy,rather than the more physical fantasys that boys are prone to.Notice I said"vast majority"so as not to be guilty of making another broad generalization. -

Yeah there's something real dirtubing about a girl standing around topless in front of her father
I think this movie is very funny , but I have to say that part has always grossed me out, too. Not only standing there topless, but also grabbing his arm and pulling him into the ocean to frolic around. Eww! Other than that, it was a great flick!
I'm smitten. I'm in deep smit.
