Looking Back-Sonny & Cher

[talloola]

i still am trying to figure this out. like, where was her mother when she moved in with this older guy? im 17 and if i told my mom i was in love with a guy in his 30s and might move in with him, i think shed kill the guy. anyways, one of my friends had a boyfriend that was 24 and she was 16. when her dad found out last summer it was a big frickin' deal.i thought he was gonna kill the guy. i wonder why so many older guys want to be around teenage girls anyway?

I guess most of these situations depend how much "respect" each young person has for their parents,
and how much love and caring the parents have for their teenagers. And, yes, most 16/17 yr old
girls now days, look much older, and the kind of clothing they wear, is very "prostitutish" looking,
which perks up the eyes of "most" guys, young and older. The way females dress have so much
to do with what kind of "vibes" they are sending out, so "what do they expect", and most times
there are very good people wearing those clothes, but still the clothes do send a "signal", and I
know I will get trashed for bringing up this point, but it is true. Breasts are just hanging out of
clothes, implants are used so much, "even on teenagers" I find. What is the point of this kind of
"attire" to attract the attention of the guys, right? Well, a 25/30 yr old will have his head turned
if he sees a "female" dressed like that, and many times he doesn't know her age, and many times
she doesn't tell him, at least for a while.
I don't envy parents these days, it is a tough job, and the parents who have their teenagers listening
to them, most of the time, "good for you".
I don't know the situation with "Cher" and her mother at that time, but I dont think she was going to
listen to anyone anyway, but she had this "bond" with sonny, and she loved to sing, and he was
also into this line of work, and he wrote songs, so I guess the line of work was the key to their
meeting to begin with. He probably heard her sing somewhere.

You make a good point, one I tried to make as well abot how girls dress these days. Maybe men and women look at these things differently? As the faher of a teenage daughter, hr feelings or his, or ther "love" would not even be a factor in my feelings. simply put, I'd end the relationship as soon as I could, probably kill the man though

I've heard a lot of talk about "killing" a guy that your young daughters are in some form of relationship with. Why is this acceptable talk? I know u don't mean kill, but even violence or hostility toward anyone your daughter believes she loves is going to be horribly destructive to all three realtionships involved.

I understand your "anger" and "concern" in this position, and, as the mother of four daughters, now
mature adults, I would have been concerned too, and taken action.
BUT, I don't blame the man, he can't be faulted for being attracted to your/our daughters, unless he
is a pedafile, but that is another subject, or has tendencies that are not "normal".
The attraction, in my opinion is "normal".

Women like Cher embarres me as a woman. I consider her type of women self-seeking and malicious to matrimony. For better or worse, not when you see a career move dump the husband.

Love is an odd mistress. People form relationships and fall into habits and patterns. Sometimes these women keep thinking the man will change, other times they feel trapped and are uncertain what to do if they were to leave the guy. I think allot has to do with feelings of insecurity in these women.
