My son's growing up- We just had a conversation about girls - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

He's 16 and has a new girlfriend. He opened the conversation with "Dad, are all girls crazy?". 😂

Then he clarified and said not crazy crazy, but just don't make any sense. Obviously we've had the birds and the bees talk, I guess we just had the birds and bees men's redux talk. The boy's learning and growing up and sometimes it's just hilarious to watch.

My answer was yes, pretty much. They possess an alien intelligence men have been trying to figure out since the dawn of mankind.

My 14 year old grandson hangs out at our campgrounds where there are 5 boys and 26 girls his age. I figure in a couple more years he will be able to give the talk to me.

Yup!

humfrz · 09-25-2016, 04:06 PM

No advice here.

One of my sons has been married 3 times, the other one has had 4 (as far as I know) long term relationships. Both are now single.

I reckon they haven't figured it out either .....

Girls are one of the 8 mysteries on earth.

If you're going there, then there's about 90 mysteries on earth because I don't see them getting any easier to figure out when they grow old

LOL this looks like the beginning of some sort of high brow rap song.

I am a bit concerned when my son reaches adolescence. I guess as long as he keeps getting involved in sports he will keep out of trouble (that's what my Dad says).

My daughter who is in university is so smart academically I have no worries.

The sporty kids always get in relationships. And yes this is back in my day, which is now.

Oh dude that is a trap!

Many guys in sports get into all sorts of trouble (sometimes they are the very worst) and being smart does not mean innocent (I live in a city filled with some of the smartest students in the country and they still go nuts).

It comes down more to how they were raised than what their formal activities are.
