I think that was the point. There’s nothing that he can’t figure out now. But when he hits 13 and tries to figure women out, fail!

They are certainly unfathomable. However, apparently, Einstein was quite the ladies man.
Chris, you may want to moderate this. A old Cherokee once told me that all women are the same. You hold them upside down they all look the same. You stand them on their feet, they all act the same. My experience, he was probably wrong.

Oh lord. When my son was 10, I found out that the girls at school hung around with him. Seems they liked the fact he was polite, didn’t make fun of them, and had dimples when he smiled. I let him know that if a girl showed up at the door with a baby belly asking for him, I would cut it off. A rather harsh way to have a discussion about birth control, exercising personal discretion and his fiscal future. To date, he is the only one from his group of friends and schoolmates that did not get married too young or is paying child support for out-of-wedlock

The girls liked to “hang out” with me, as well, until the inevitable ostracism at the beginning of puberty.
Nothing untoward ever happened. Probably because I’d read everything from Kinsey to Freud to Krafft-Ebing to “the Sexual Relations of Mankind” by the time I was five.
Yes, as Jane said of Daria, I was a twisted little cruller. Probably explains why I ended up as a crime lab geek.
When there’s no mystery in it, it mainly becomes a matter of mechanics.
As Damon has just said, there are things that no amount of intelligence and book learning can explain. There is no mystery in it? It is a matter of mechanics? Dude. Those authors don’t know any more than Javier -or any other man who has not allowed himself the experience- about the true workings of human sexuality and relationships, IYKWIMAITYD.

I do know that I am human and have human feelings. I do know what was intended to happen. I would say supposed to happen, but that gets back to the mysteries and puzzles aspect. I did not get the Zuzu petals.

Child support is a new for of control of the population.
I represented several men in the matter.
One guy that did not pay his bill when i got him off an unjustified aggravated assault charge later got totally screwed on child support. too freaking bad for him. He paid much more than the law demanded, precisely because he showed himself as the jerk that he was. The aggravated assault is a good story. ‘fled to the police station’ is in the report. But he still is a jerk.

Give Javier a foundation of basics and common sense. Be available to answer any and all questions when they arise (and they will), no matter how “embarrassing” those questions may seem to be.
Keep an eye on him, and maintain an interest in everything he does, and who he does it with.
Ask questions. Provide answers.

I was thinking the same thing as you. Are Sam, Jan, and Naomi setting the example they want to set for the next generation – that men should expect every woman to have large breasts, which must be falling out of her shirt/dress/work uniform, and every woman should let her breasts fall out of her clothes (and she *must* get breast enhancement surgery if she isn’t naturally large-breasted)?

I am convinced that it is neither disease or old age that kills a Man,But the fact that they have finally figured out women and it’s the shock that kills them.
What comes naturally to the average is ironically most difficult for the gifted.
Prodigy meets puberty.
Mentality is overwhelmed by physicality. Intelligence, wit, and understanding made secondary, almost irrelevant, by growth, strength, and virility. It is God’s plan, to ensure propogation and survival of the fittest.
But it is temporary. By post-secondary age most females begin to understand that she and the world require thought and logic and reason in lieu of beating up geeks or catching a ball in order to survive and prosper.
Some men are lucky enough to be naturally imbued with both, and are spared the heart-breakingly, seemingly insurmountable process of one’s body growing into the maturity of one’s mind . But not most. Javier has a good chance at that, both genetically and environmentally, though that is no guarantee. Best wishes to him.
The key is surviving the process, bearing out the very accurate truism that what does not kill us will make us stronger. On the world stage it is obvious that those who struggled and coped make the best citizens and leaders. And the same is true in microcosm for us all. Most are able to make the transition; some do not, but there is a place and a role for all. God’s plan works.
And that is the key.

What is this genuinely stupid idea that all (over 150 million in the USA alone) women can be reduced to a few traits, and when those traits are mastered one can define all women under them.
What a bunch of collectivist bullshit! As to the question of “what do women want?” there is only one answer: To be treated as equals. In all other ways you must ask yourself; what does this woman want and the answer will be different for each and every one of them. That is what makes them so wonderful.
I discovered what one particular woman wanted, married her and stayed with her for 43 years. Good luck to you young man because women are not puzzles but are individuals and must be treated as such.
December 28, 2016 at 1:13 pm

Oh, and by the way, the exact same rules apply to men so good luck and good hunting girls.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ONE AND ALL AT DBD.
Only problem with your mini-rant is that it is totally and completely wrong.
It’s not a matter of reductionist theory but natural (God’s) law…Talk about your collectivist bullshit, men and women are decidedly NOT equal…they are brilliantly and beautifully different.
Of course every one is a unique individual, that’s what separates the top of the chain primates from the lesser (self-determination vs. instinct). There’s God’s hand again.
Protect and provide…nurse and nurture. There is often great truth in simplicity and there is a lot of it in that little homily. Women are indeed puzzles; THAT and the delightful, infuriating process of figuring that chemistry out and how those pieces fit, is what makes them, and the male/female human continuum, wonderful.
Leftists in most of their guises would have us ignore or try to evolve away that and all of His immutable laws, explaining a great deal of the problems of the world along with their abject failure to remake it in THEIR image, instead of God’s.

Be polite here,Canuck.Your “As to the question of “what do women want?” there is only one answer: To be treated as equals”….this is a collectivist extrapolation by definition in and of itself. Some women want a dominant man. Some do not. Hence the individuality. Be polite or be gone.
Headline from the NYT no less; paper of record in the stronghold of the largest Jewish population in the western world. And the rag supports it, along with this little jewel: The Obama-ordered UN vote is an “effort to save Israel from “the most extreme elements” in its own government.”
Impotent petulant bitch couldn’t save his own “extreme element” ass from rebuke and removal, and this is a transparent slap at Trump and his Middle Eastern brother from another mother…nothing matters to him but revenge and furthering the goals of his muzzie brethren.
I haven’t checked but I would bet that similar editorial support comes from the radical leftist Miami Herald and Palm Beach Post, representing the home territory of an even greater per-capita Jewish population than NYC.
If this is not finally enough to move the historically hardline leftists within the Jewish community into line with those who seek to defend Israel’s very existence and stop the advance of the powers that would eliminate it and take over the world, then the lessons of the holocaust have been lost and its effects will be repeated, on a much grander scale.

What it means is that in the waning days of leftist hegemony, the left in America has dropped all pretense about who THEIR friends and enemies are.
They hate us. They hate our friends. They hate Western civilization. And they really hate Israel for being a beach-head of same “contaminating” the Mystical, Enlightened East (TM).
Mr. Netanyahu is basically nodding and telling all his domestic opponents “I told you so”. and those opponents are standing around like they’ve been hit by lightning because they have now lost their last pretense of legitimacy in taking the Palestinian side.
Lurch, Hillary, and The One have pretty much torpedoed the American and European left’s credibility in the “peace process” for the next few decades, at least.
It will be interesting to read the op-ed pages of the NYT, etc., for the next few weeks as they try to “explain” that what The One & Co. did wasn’t what it looked like, and that they really have this brilliant and subtly-nuanced plan the rest of us are too stupid to comprehend.
As Dr. Freud said, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
And sometimes somebody says something stupid because they really are just that stupid.
But I dunno. The current crop of heads may have shot their wad, but I’m afraid the much bigger wad behind them, representing and supporting the Yoooge worldwide push for domination, ain’t done yet. Their success or failure hinges on the success or failure of you, me, deplorables everywhere, and the unholy alliances the cascade has engendered.
Prayers that as you say, leftists and the enlightenment they worship are indeed dying of revolt and starvation for recruits.
Well, then, we’ll just have to work that much harder to be the dominant force in the world, JTC.
This SJW crap is about 6 years old. That’s the same mental age as the leftie hegemony. (I like that phrase, too.) The Howlings are rapidly losing their audience because they have no connection to the Real World. That’s the world that you and I live in, where it’s okay to want to be a Disney Princess.
Before too long, they will become the caricatures they’ve been aiming toward. Denial of reality is their mental disorder. Pity, isn’t it?
