PrintableI dont think 5 or 6 years is a lot older.. it is if you are only 15 maybe.. but if you are 24.. its just normal.
I think if you are 24 dating someone 10 years older, even that is ok IMO.. Prolly twice your age is ALOT older.. me thinks  | |

 I've seen that movie and the original too. As this is related, is the man in the film or book "lolita" a sympathetic peodophile? Do u sympathise with him in the movie? It is very hard to, yet the movie makes u want to sympathise with him | |

i tend to date younger men. its not on purpose but it just seems to happen. mind you they are usually only a couple of years younger and at my age thats nothin'!!! lol. so if there are any single men out there between the age of 26-30 that like a slightly older woman...have your resume in hand and form an orderly line to the right. i will conduct interviews on friday.
you're only as old as you feel..............so how old do i feel 
Now that food has replaced sex in my life, I can't even get into my own pants. | |

It is very hard to, yet the movie makes u want to sympathise with him Of course he's sympathetic here. Humbert Humbert is played by Jeremy Irons !  I don't know what I would have done when I was standing in Lolita's shoes.
Now serious, this is of course a movie based on a great novel. I don't tend to judge fictional characters. Besides, Lolita is the one that is pictured as cruel, Humbert is a rather naive character. Of course that makes him sympathetic. Of course this was Nabokov's main purpose : to show the other side of 'akward' behaviour. | |

I can do a backwards somersault! But preferably only on the beach, because if I happen to land on my head and there isn't anything soft underneath I might get tolly fucked. | |

thesexofit said: Yet another one of my friends, who is female gets dumped by someone who is in his 20's.....
my freind is 18 and he was 26. I told her but she ignored me. He just left her out cold..... What I'm saing is why do girls go after older guys? As u may know, that example is not extreme at all, but still wrong. I knew a girl who lost her virginity at 14 willingly 4 het boyfriend of 32!!! Guess what? Some girls r so desparate as a teen it is just pathetic..... it isn't just teens that do it. Men are simply generally pretty immature, a girl and a woman wants a responsible MAN, not a kid. Women in general are more needy emotionally, and they want someone that can cater to that need. Men typically at the younger ages are too self-absorbed or concerned mostly about sex. | |

JoweeCoco said: REDFEATHERS said: Go on then... I mean I can vouch for myself.. Older men fancied me.. and I did date them.. Nowadays young men fancy me... Maybe you can tell me in private.. Those who do like to be dominated, used, so they can say they're not accountable for any kinky shit they've done. Then there's also the ones who have daddy issues who are looking for a man with the same qualities as their father, only better and of course the best part is that they're not their father. Then the last group is the money and power hungry girls. Younger men are generally still struggling to get their shit together. It's just nature, these women fall for the alpha-males. Now watch people say I'm full of shit because I didn't give the answers they wanted to hear... i agree, but you still left out the group that simply do not wish to date selfish little shits. | |

I saw the irons version when it first got released on video.....I thought it would be porn. I was 13 I think.....is the book any good then? Interesting story and subject matter, how do the films compare in comparison. I prefer the newer version personally. anyone read the books or seen the movies? | |

I know it would be so much more fashionable to say I preferred Kubrick's version. But in fact I didn't, Lolita was so different from the girl I had in my head when I read the book. In the Kubrick film she's so sluttish...So I liked the newer version better, but again... Jeremy
I read the book when I was 16 or sth. I really adored it. Nabokov is an excellent writer IMHO | |

Interesting story and subject matter, how do the films compare in comparison. I prefer the newer version personally. anyone read the books or seen the movies? Yes, the book is wonderful and I recommend it. Also, if you enjoy/enjoyed Lolita[/o] there is another Nabokov book entitled [i]The Enchanter which is a short novella that Nabokov wrote prior to writing Lolita that deals with the same subject matter as Lolita. Here is the blurb on the back of that book: "The Enchanter" is the Ur-Lolita, the precursor to Nabokov's classic novel. At once hilarious and chilling, it tells the story of an outwardly respectable man and his fatal obsession with certain pubescent girls, whose coltish grace and subconscious coquetry reveal, to his mind, a special bud on the verge of bloom." While the two books have common subject matter, they ARE different stories but it's still interesting to read The Enchanter and note the similarities of some of the characters and situations that later were seen in Lolita (like the chauffeur in TE/Clare Quilty in Lolita. As for the two movies, I agree the remake is excellent and more faithful to the book than the original, the Kubrick version is my favorite because I saw it first and loved it for years and because it has James Mason and Peter Sellers as Clare Quilty (brilliant!) in it. Yeah, movie-Lolita was older than book-Lolita in the original but there wasnt' much Kubrick could do if he wanted the movie made...he had to use an older child. [Edited 1/13/05 13:01pm] | |

My fiance says that she wanted an older guy because the guys around her age,30, were only out to get laid or go to bars etc. She also was looking for someone who had at leats one child so he would know what its like to have and be around kids. I fit the criteria and we get along famously I must say. Signed, loving life, MplsFunk!!! | |

[Edited 1/13/05 13:01pm] I may get "lolita" from the library.....what section would it be under? Talking of young girls a 12 year old asked me out today.....this just proves my point of the thread. Iam 19!!! Why? I ain't even good looking yet she just straight out asked me to come to her house.....this ain't the first time either. It is a sick world we live in. Girls, at least round my area r fucked up! It's embarrassing to say no and it seems they make u feel like ur being the mean one. | |
