Topic : 11/29 Out of the Doghouse

 I watched the show today-about those guys following up- first of all, for those who critize the fire department that he works at is wrong.  I am a female and I am also a firefighter. Let him have his personal life and live it how he wants and definitly DO NOT critize the fire dept for hiring him-he could be one of the best firefighters ever.  I am 20yrs old and the guy that I am dating is 38yrs old.  The same age difference as Corey and Ashley.  Are you going to say that I am immature because I'm young? People's lives are put in my hands everyday and you have to be mature to be able to handle that. If you love the person why should age matter as long as you are legally of age?

I sat and listened to Corey, and I am sure he feels justified in his relationship with an 18 yr old.  The part that I found interesting when he referred to other relationships he said he was involved with a woman for 6 years.  However  when he refers to Ashley he calls her a "girl".  He wants to defend her and comment how mature she is so why is she not a woman then?

I think men like Corey become involved with younger females because they find it easier to relate to someone who idolizes them.  A mature woman would see him as a firefighter and discuss it or talk about other topics.

The whole "no baggage" statement comes from many men who can't handle situations that may arise from women having had past relationships and emotional scars or God forbid, children.  That statement  "baggage refers to both of issues".  I know I had a friend who found a woman who had "no baggage"  that is how he explained his reason for getting involved with this particular woman on a serious level.  His past was very colourful and I guess was not ready to deal with someone who may have had a past such as his.

Regardless of age, Corey should make his intentions clear before a "girl" thinks they are dating exclusively.  Then he may not have to worry about them climbing in his window or going on national television for revenge...

     I can't believe is that this man (Corey) who is a fightfighter, has been painted by the media and his community as a person who is somehow less worthy of the publics respect with regard not only to his job, but as a decent  human being based SOLEY on the fact that he's dated an 18 year old.

How many of you people who are sitting in judgement on this man would give a big rats butt if he's dating 18 year olds IF.....one night your house catches on fire and he's the one there to pull you and your family to safety? OR.....perhaps your having a family gathering out in the backyard and discover that a family members child has fallen into the pool and this man is the one to bring that child back to life? How many of you would care who he's dating if your in an auto accident and he's first on scene to pull your judgmental behinds out of the wreckage......I'm betting there isnt' a one of us here who would look at him and say...oh no, I'll wait, please dont' save me because I don't agree with your dating habits. PLEASE people.....get a life!

In addition. I suppose that those of you here who are of such high moral standards have not now nor will EVER... be tuning in to Larry King who happens to be married to a woman young enough to be his daughter, you won't be watching Tom Cruise in any of his movies being he's just married a woman who although isn't 18 years old...she's definately young enough to be his daughter and what about Michael Douglas? Is he not married to a woman much much MUCH younger than himself? Demi Moore is married to a MUCH younger man herself as are many many other stars yet no one raises questions about that.

Amazing........
