When I was in high school, there were these things called "Crushes". As we all know, a "crush" is a strong attraction to a person that you usually have to suppress because they're dating someone else or they think you're a serial killer or some other logistical quandary.
Some things never change, but over time I always expected people, including myself, to become more mature, more in control, more assertive, and more wise.
Decision making is key. You can think about buying that lottery ticket until your mind rots away and you're left with a cranium full of cream of spinach soup. You don't become an idiot, however, until you walk into that Circle K and commit your dollar to the populist rebellion against basic mathematics. In short, actions define how much of a dumbshit you are, not your thoughts.
When I was in high school, many of the girls I really liked, even freshman year, had older boyfriends--sometimes 20 or 23. How do you compete with a guy who can grow a full beard and has a car? You can't, really. I was so jealous, and short on options. I made a decision there and then that when I got to be that age, I'd pilfer the high schools too.
This seemed like a great idea at the time, but by the time I got into college, I realized that the guys who do that are all fucking losers who have to date girls who are too naive to realize it.
This phenomenon is known as "creaperism", the afflicted men known simply as "creapers" [sic].
At the same time I was realizing the folly of my cradle-robbing male peers, I noticed that collegiate women sometimes fell victim to the next tier of creapers--mid to late 30-somethings who are still underachieving and hang out at popular college bars and concerts. Most of the time, they moved to the college town in their late teens/early twenties to go to school, dropped out due to drug abuse or some other dumbass move, and stayed in the town for a decade because they're better at partying than at not being a douchebag.
A very good friend of mine was seduced and had her life wrecked by a creaper. He even got her pregnant and then skipped the country to avoid paternal obligation. When the kid was born with a very serious heart defect that nearly killed him, the creaper responded (by email, of course): "oh that sucks."
As much as we all despise creapers, the obviously ill-fated unions formed between creapers and their victims shouldn't be blamed solely on the creapers alone. Women, especially over the age of 21, should really know better.
Many women of my generation are progressing, mentally at least, less like a fine wine and more like Dorian Gray.
A close associate of mine (24) was robbed of his girl by a creaper only a few months ago. The girl (23) was told by her family and friends that this was a terrible move. Her friends thought Creaper was so "icky" that they wouldn't even come around if they suspected he might be there already. In spite of this, she felt compelled to terminate her relationship with her boyfriend of many years in favor of this 35 year old chump who listens to "Train" and more than likely has a secret hoard of anime porn in his car (you know, just in case). She even made a big show of it and announced to everyone her intention of swapping out the old and young for the new and old.
Just a few weeks later, as predicted, Creaper moved on and she wised up. Naturally, she tried to set things back to the way they were, but it was far too late. Nobody forgave her, and why? Because she should've known better.
Creapers care only about themselves. With that in mind, realize that they're not even capable of getting reasonable jobs or healthy relationships. In the parlance of our times: They are an epic pile of FAIL. That said, creapers wouldn't exist without naive women and indulgence of society. Friends don't let friends date creapers. (45,080)

You know Dan, it's actually going to happen with us only when we get past our 60's and senile as fuck. We will be grabbing young girls left and right as horny, dirty old men. I mean what the fuck would we care, we'd be so old anyway.
