Hey Ford, in the interest of discussion, do you think your daughter will mature much more in the time until she turns 18? Do you think an 18 year old girl could handle a situation that a 17 year old couldn't?
Thinking about my own life, I grew up pretty fast and at 18 was more mature than most of my peers. I don't think I was an "adult" until 20-21 though.
I really think age is relative. I have a younger brother who's a bit of a "player" so I've met tons of 16-19 year old girls, most of them pretty attractive. Some of them were mature enough that you wouldn't question them if you met them in a bar and some of them should still be in grade school.
I don't know what my point is really. Quick, someone post a jailbait picture.
EDIT: Just want to make clear, that I have never actually attempted to taint the innocence of any of the girls, mature or not.
