'Ray Donovan' Star Steven Bauer, 57, Steps Out With 18-Year-Old Girlfriend

This man is my hero.

He can't legally be with his daughter so this is the next best thing ?

Now I'm creeped out.

Well in the eyes of an 18 year old girl any relationship that lasts more than 20 minutes is a long term relationship...

You have set the bar low for acceptance into your club of heroes Nausi!

Creep factor aside, how do you "date" someone almost 40 years your junior? I mean, I "get" it from one standpoint...but it's the Hugh Hefner standpoint. I get the physical part.

But that's not dating; that's just sex.

How do you connect with someone like that? I don't think I could connect with an 18 year old girl right now. It's just...unthinkable to me. I've dealt with them. I've been back to my college for alumni functions with my fraternity and talked to girls that age...there's little to no common ground at all.

she's hot as all ****, y'all just jelly you ain't got his patience

Age doesn't have to be anything more than a number. I've met people in their 30s and 40s who are more flaky than the number of girls 10-20 years younger in their 20s that I know. I've dated girls ~10 years younger than me and ~10 years older and I will say that women are slightly more apt to know what they want the older they get, but it's nothing even close to a guarantee. Once you get into your mid 30s, the only single women out there your age aren't really the settling down type (my exp anyways). Those people have already settled down most likely in their 20s cause that's what they wanted to begin with.

Besides, the assumption that 18 year old girls are all 1-dimensional ditzes is a pretty broad sweeping generalization.

I'm not saying that they're all 1-dimensional ditzes. I didn't think my wife was then or now, as I specifically referenced her.

And a 10-year difference isn't a 39-year difference. I would think you'd at least want to keep it within a standard deviation of about half a generation.


This part makes plenty of sense though. I've got a very good friend right now who's 37 and single and he's got a pretty tough time of it because most of the single women his age either have kids and are looking for relationships that will support those kids as well (both financially and family-wise) or they're not the settling down type, as you stated...or they're just batshit crazy.

It's the first and last groups that you tend to find a lot around here. :x

Edit: All of that is to say, your point is valid but I just can't imagine being able to connect with someone with whom I don't have at least some basic cultural points of reference.

Look at it this way; an 18-year-old right now is someone who can barely remember 9/11/01.

That's tough. In my mind, anyway.

It's not that difficult at ~10 years. K and I liked the same TV shows / movies (Mad Men, Shameless, GoT), had the same wit / sense of humor, and really enjoyed the same activities. There were only very few things about her I didn't particularly enjoy. In the end she felt the things we didn't agree on were worth the leaving the rest for. She fell victim to the 80/20 rule. My friends like to say she finally acted her age. I do joke about it, but I don't really believe that not knowing what you want is an age thing, it's more of a woman thing, in my exp anyways.

EDIT: And not everyone your age can relate to 911. If you met a girl overseas who wasn't here when it happened she'd be unable to relate to you about that too. I get what you're trying to say, but think you're fixating too much on the actual number.

More like Granddaughter.

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin said she owes America a "global apology" for the 2008 GOP presidential ticket's loss to President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.

During an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity, Palin spoke about Obama's long-term strategy for defeating the Islamic State -- a militant group formerly known as ISIS or ISIL -- that he laid out in a speech Wednesday night.

"As I watched the speech last night, Sean, the thought going through my mind is, 'I owe America a global apology. Because John McCain, through all of this, John McCain should be our president,'" Palin said.

Palin went on to compare the Islamic State to Hitler and questioned how seriously Obama is taking the group.

"So when Barack Obama, like the rest of us, hear these bad guys, these terrorists, promising that they will raise the flag of Allah over our White House, for the life of me I don't know why he does not take this serious, the threat. Because yes, it's more than a vision," Palin said. "They're telling-- just like Hitler did all those years ago, when a war could've been avoided, because Hitler, too, did not hide his intentions. Well ISIS, these guys aren't hiding their intentions either."

Connecting is often easy.

I always try to have younger friends in my life. Teens to 30somethings. Interacting with them keeps my mind flexible.

But they are friends. I hang out with them. I don't date them.

I don't mind single mothers long as I don't play the step dad role.
