I Think I May Have A Problem Hippies

Everyone goes through "feelings". When I was younger I was head over heals over Annette Funicelo and also thought Sophia Loren was one beautiful woman. Different attractions for different reasons towards different ages of the same subject: girls! Freud dedicated a whole thesis to this attraction between boys and girls and adults both within and outside the family circle. These are things that can and do exist within most people. Young people like older people for many reasons, the vast majority being because older people do some pretty cool things and have a way of making us feel older and appreciated with a validity that peers never could. Grandparents, uncles, family friends and the such usually give us our first "feelings" and thats OK because there is a filtering process involved with these people that weeds out the perverts, and there is accountability. It's when young people use the same "feelings" towards people outside the safety net of family that problems arise. It's also the way a person acts upon those feelings that cause the serious problems most people would find to be inherent in your declaration, that and the fact that you are not experienced enough in life to protect yourself from predators when they know of your vulnerability. I've met a lot of older people I liked because they were cool people and cool to me. I'm going to assume that's what you mean by "like". If it's something else, please let us know!
