Yesterday a friend asked me for advice. A bunch of us were at a party, and his friend’s teenage daughter–let’s call her Beth–and Beth’s friend were following him around. He’s single with a reputation for being a man whore so naturally he flirted with them. They asked him to buy them drinks and he did. They flirted and he flirted back. He knew they wanted to jump his bones, but still flirted.
It was entirely inappropriate as I saw it, so I avoided him all night. I left early and found out later that he had stayed up an extra two hours chatting with Beth and she confided in him completely, saying she “wasn’t sure why she was telling him so much”. She said she wanted them to be more than friends and told him about problems she was having with friends and with her mom.
When he told me all of this later, I tried in the nicest way possible to explain to him that there’s no reason why a man in his mid 30s should have a friendship with a 17 year old girl, let alone the daughter of one of his good friends. He said that Beth really needed someone to help her and that he felt compelled. I said that he should stay away and let someone else be her good friend.
I know what he’s like, though. He likes young women. Even though it’s completely wrong on so many levels, he’ll get close to her emotionally and then ‘accidently’ sleep with her, because she’s female and has a pulse. What could a man in his 30s have in common with a 17 year old to stay up chatting with her 1-on-1 until the wee hours of the morning?!
What a douchebag.
He said to me later that if he thinks she is befriending him for the wrong reasons, he’ll ‘do something about it’. I responded by pointing out that he knows she is befriending him because she has a crush on him so maybe he shouldn’t let it get to that poinnt. He changed the subject.
Behind his back, everyone makes fun of how he’ll flirt with (and fuck) anyone. He’s a big joke and now they’re calling him ‘pedophile’ after seeing him flirt with the young girls. He says his true friends will know how it really is with Beth, but his true friends must be retarded if they’re not telling him the same thing that I am.
