Kid got game, hands a foul ball to a hot chick sitting behind him-- smooth player

HOT...NOT...just ok. Where do you all live?

No, take another look. Her friends are 5's, but the one that got the ball is definitely hot. At least her smile is, we really only get a quick shot of her.

The dude is smart, go after the hottest one.

The black kid already had a ball, as the character in question did.

Still a racist. 3rd base coach is a racist, too. Sexist as well. Whole lot of 'em are terrible people.

Smooth, implies the boy is not shy around cute ladies and will serve him well when he comes of age. There are a lot of people who would not dare to say hi or talk to ladies, this boy is obviously not one of them.

Just not enough evidence to say that. Again, my almost 14-year-old son would have given a ball to her too if he had two that he got from that game, and he IS shy around the ladies; believe it or not, but some 12-14 year old boys would NOT be shy around that young lady BECAUSE she is so much older; SOME of them would think she is OLD and not one to be shy around. My son would have given it to her to be nice. That's all this kid was doing. No one should be impressed by his being "smooth". Want to be impressed with his generosity, then ok.

Nobody knows more about the way children think or should think than ol' Flagpole.

s'o for mentioning the legend Rico Suave

I am more observant than most. I am right on this issue, so I DO know more than those who have an opposing view on this.

OR

2) A lame attempt from a way-too-young kid to impress a young woman of legal age. I've seen this before where a 12-year-old boy tries to be all smooth with women that are older than 18. It's a train wreck and cringe-worthy. What could a kid that age possibly be thinking could happen? Would be illegal for anything to come of it...maybe that's where the bravado comes from...a kid that age KNOWS it can't go further than him just pretending to be a man.

Anyway, we like to sexualize things too much in this country and do it too early for children, so I really hope this boy's issue was #1 above.

And, you KNOW what every kid that age KNOWS? LMAO. How about the kid has a crush, and little understanding or thought beyond that. Maybe more, maybe less. Amazing that you can claim to know, though. You would be one heck of a troll if you weren't serious all the time.

It might have been a train wreck & cringeworthy (your opinion), but it didn't work out too badly for Squints, and he was younger than this kid.

Kids are hitting puberty earlier & earlier. It's not just the media & society somehow causing it or pushing it, it's reality.

You assume your own situation and experience applies to everyone else way too much.

cringe all you want wrote:

You're creating a false dichotomy between "smooth" and "nice."

Incorrect. Smooth implies this kid has an advanced way of dealing with the ladies, and it implies that it is done so for return affection. That is NOT what this kid was all about. Those girls made it known that they wanted a ball...perhaps that very girl...and he got his second one, so he gave the one he wanted the least to her...just to be nice...not to be "smooth".

When you say that I am incorrect, do you mean that you are not creating a dichotomy, or that the dichotomy is not false? The fact that someone does something to be nice does not imply that it is not also smooth.

And, no, the term "smooth" does not imply that the act is done for return affection. One can be smooth without intent. Heck, there are gay guys that women consider to be smooth (e.g. half of Hollywood).

Once again Flagpole hijacks the entire thread...Way to make a fun story about a 12 year old kid giving a baseball to a hot chick ALL about you and your moral/righteous standards of raising a child. DAMN Flagpole you are such a good parent.

Meh. They were all about the same level of hotness...I'd give them all 7s. Could be that she was vocal about wanting a foul ball, or maybe she was just chatty with everyone, so he noticed her. Again, I BELIEVE he was just being nice, but if he actually thought he was being smooth with the ladies, then that is lame to the nth degree. He didn't seem like he thought he was all that, so I think he was just being nice.

It's cringeworthy to see a fat old bald guy rating young teenage girls out of 10. It's pretty crass from anyone, but coming from a 5'2" chubbster in his 50s it's worse.

The good looking ones didn't look twice at you when you were young, and they're certainly not looking now.

Umm...I said NOTHING nor insinuated in any way that I was a good parent. What were you reading?

If a FUN story is one that is filled with incorrect assumptions, then sure, I'll be the one to bust that. It was a pathetic headline, and it didn't capture at all what went on there.

Why would you find it FUN if a 12 year old handed a ball to a 21-year-old woman but only if you thought that HE though he was Rico Suave?

Your assumptions are no more valid than anyone elses.

You may be surprised to hear that we're not all afraid of the fact that human beings are sexual creatures with all of the natural desires that go along with same.

This thread has turned into some kind of Ventolin-Deano discussion about a kid giving a girl a baseball. Some folks should turn LRC off and go for a run, or a hike, or shopping, or to the library or something.

This doesn't sound arrogant to you? Like you are the only one who knows how to be a parent?

"It is my experience that USUALLY a 12-year-old who tries to actively impress an 18-year-old or older girl is a boy who needs to learn a thing or two about what women REALLY want. I would say they are BEHIND the other boys his age, not ahead."

C'mon dude, your opinion isn't a fact. The fact is that this kid saw a hot chick and wanted to give her a baseball. Nothing to get upset or excited about.

Girl on left, probably an 8.

Girl in middle, a 5/6 since she looks chubby.

Girl on right, a 6.

They weren't *hot* to my eyes, except the girl on the left.
