“Inside, they found the 13-year-old and they found a 23-year-old who was posing as a 13-year-old to pick up this girl online,” said Aaron Brilbeck, the PIO for the OK County Sheriff’s Office.

Actually, I was that babyfaced. I was carded in bars and liquor stores until I was 31.
But it worked out. I retained my youthful looks even today. I'm 64 years old and don't look a day over 60.
Not to show you up Ken. Yesterday, I was at my Pri Care 6 mos. check up. During the intake where the nurse takes your vitals, we were jawing back and forth, somehow the conversation turned to age. The nurse said you don't look like a 76 year old man. I, of course, said "so how old do I look?" He said "around 60".
ReplyDeleteI too was carded buying beer well into my late 20's, occasionally during my early thirties to which I usually responded Thank You.

You have to feel sorry for the kid. Women his age won't go near him since THEY don't want to be mistaken for a pedo!
ReplyDeleteGuess again. I never lacked for female 'companionship' from women my age or older.
DeleteThat was 40 years ago. Your data may be a bit out of date.
DeleteWhat changed?
DeleteI guess its only a myth that the young girls go for the older guys. When I was in high school (60 years ago), a teenybopper dating a college guy was a badge of honor for the girl! My, how times change.
DeleteThere were so many loose women when I was young that we didn't even have to boink the fat ones. I mean we did, but you know.
DeleteHistory gets rewritten to suit the current culture it seems. Everyone now wants to pretend that this wouldn't be just written off as acceptable behavior a few decades back.
DeleteI recall being in middle school (in the mid 80s) where a lot of us were aware of a 13 year old girl being "in a relationship" with a 28 year old. What I still remember now is thinking "Why is she with this guy? He seems like a loser. He's going bald and what a stupid mustache." Teachers knew, but nobody with any real power seemed to care. These days, something like that would bring a SWAT team through your door and get national news coverage.
Damn pedo... That's why I'm not a LEO. I would shoot him.
ReplyDeleteI keep a beard (mostly gray now) because I still get carded at 50 if I'm clean shaven.
ReplyDeletePedo yes, but at least give him credit for being straight.
ReplyDeleteSomebody asked me how old I was and when I said 73 they said I didn't look a day over 80....
ReplyDeleteI was carded at 27 to go into the "Grain Bin" in Garden City.
ReplyDeleteI was carded at a 7-11 for trying to buy a lottery ticket at the age of 52! and my stepson that was 20 didn't get carded ! The Hindu cashier looked at my drivers license in disbelieve !
ReplyDeleteShit, I got carded for smokes and booze into my 50's.
ReplyDeletehell, china-mart still cards if you don't look over 50. at least they do around here.
ReplyDeleteI guess I always looked 60 when I was 21 in Packie still look 60 just with less and grey hair and will be 64 in 2 months
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your readings WC, I guess it's Ken but always known as wirecutter. The best
