Yes, he was actually quite nice and we had a good conversation. I just felt foolish for asking for a autograph.

19 year olds are grown women who can make their own choices in life. 19 year olds go and fight wars, if they want an older guy it doesn't make the guy a bad guy. It just makes you jealous.
No one is criticizing a man with a 19 year old girlfriend. They are criticizing an old guy who THINKS he has a chance, continues to hit on them and never closes the deal. That is known as a creeper.
But, to your point... An old guy with a young girl is usually a very sad thing. He is obviously a lonely old man who is trying to compensate for a lack of attention/confidence and she probably has major daddy issues. I am in my 30s and happily married. I am not going to say that I do not find 19 year olds attractive, but I also don't see myself chasing teenage tail.
Think about a fat old man at a strip bar. Sure, he is supposed to like "hot" women rubbing their tits in his face, but it is also kind of sad. I kind of look at these unbalanced "relationships" in the same way. They are very plastic.
I was at the airport in Miami one time and saw this older man with a very young girl. He had on CoH jeans, a tight t-shirt and a blazer. She was dressed like a whore. They were both wearing sunglasses inside. I am sure he thought he was the envy of the airport, but in reality, they looked like clowns.

Great story. Hope it is true. You'll like this:
I was going into 8th grade and a serious Dinosaur Jr fan. This is right around the time Green Mind came out, so what, 1991 or 1992? Anyway, we went to see them play (sans Lou) with my friend's older brother and had a great time. After the show, J was hanging out and talking to people. My friend and I walked up and just stood there in the small crowd of people with whom he was chatting. Everyone else was just treating him like a normal guy, I remember being surprised. Since we were just little kids, he was super cool. He noticed us, offered autographs and even gave us Green Mind shirts for free (we had home-made shirts). I still remember making mine. It was a plain, white t-shirt and I had written "The weirdness flows between us" on the front. My friend had done the same, but had written "Keep the glove" on his.
Fast forward twenty years... I go to see them play at the Cats Cradle near Chapel Hill and as I am waiting for my friend (same friend) in the parking lot prior to the show, I notice that J is just chilling by himself next to the bus. I knew it was kind of dorky, but I walked over to say hello. He was super nice and talked to me for a minute or two. My friend walked up and I REALLY wanted to recount the incident twenty years earlier, but decided to play cool and walk away. It was a killer show.
J is awesome. I've talked to him twice in my life. He's really down to earth. I really like his new album that came out in March.
I am laughing my ass off at the 30 year old guy who doesn't find good looking 19 year old women attractive. Get real dude.
Hey! You live on Tennyson! I visited my uncle there last week

Trick-or-treated at Steve Young's house. He was giving out a box of powerbars to every kid because he was sponsored at the time and I'm sure had waaay too many.
Then went down the street to where Steve Jobs lived. He wasn't even there to hand stuff out and the person who was there just cave out one measly pack of smarties. Pathetic...

Sounds pretty reasonable to me.

I said sorry and shut the door, trying not to look at the person. I waited a moment and the individual finished and left the porty potty. Only then did I discover that it was Regina Jacobs.
Was she sitting or standing to pee?
Sitting.. :( at the question.
Nothing as notable as y'all's, but a couple of times when I've bumped (almost literally) into celebs that I didn't see coming, I've ended up saying something lame like "like your work, sir" (to Wallace Shawn) or "like your work, big guy" (to Chris Noth).
Man, I cringe just to think about this. If I see the person coming, I usually just do nothing and treat him/her as just another schmo, but when they catch me by surprise...
See, as a true NYCer I'm supposed to be 'way too cool to say anything to celebs who pass by, or even pay attention to them--beyond, maybe, a slight nod of acknowledgement. I did that when I passed Billy Connolly on the sidewalk (not sure what he was in town for). By coincidence I was wearing my Scotland hat at the time, and he gave me a slight nod in return.
[Or: I gave SJP a slight smile when we chanced to cross paths in the grocery store. That also seemed okay. She smiled nicely back, btw.]
But generally I try to do nothing, so the celeb can a) feel like a regular person, and b) avoid thinking that s/he is in any sense better than me.
I too find those examples sad but those examples you gave are not the only scenarios that take place in life. Travel to another country and older guy younger women is quite prevalent. Its a big world out there.
Hiding on an message board and blasting a guy like you did without stating who you are is much sadder then any old guy going out with a younger women.
I find you quite sad.

Right, in countries where women are not allowed equal economic opportunity...
No capable, confident, remotely attractive woman wants to have sex with a guy twice her age.
You do not understand women if you do not know why many like older guys.
Let's try to stay on topic. These prolonged quarrels between pairs of people on here are remarkably tedious.

Sounds like I don't understand women then, which is weird, given I have all the parts.
And please do tell why so "many" women like older guys in your fantasy world?? Definitely not about the sex, for obvious reasons (no pics please).

Whoa, hold on. Hiding on a message board? Isn't a message board where we are supposed to have discussions? I didn't blast anyone except a guy in an airport who likely has no idea that LRC exists. The other examples are purely hypothetical.
As I am writing this, I am realizing that you think I was the one insulting Kenny Moore. That was not me, and I have no idea who Kenny Moore is, other than a former runner. I was just responding to the comment about older men and 19 year old women.
For all I know, Kenny is a great guy.
I thought this thread was about hair combs.
