Don't start exchanging gifts and poems with a 10 year old girl you teach. Somehow this topic has scored 11 Shaunis out of 10.

Best comment ever.

I'm not sure if this is real or not, but if it is, it seems like a good friendship you have. Maybe you could help her not become an asshole.

Your relationship seems great, and I hope it stays the way it is.

He never said that he abuses this child, sexually or otherwise. Assuming that he is honest, I think their friendship is good. I also got the impression that he likes her mind, rather than her body. Calling him a pedophile is a little hasty at this point.

It seems to me like he dislikes people in general, not just women, since he said the only person he enjoys talking to is this girl, rather than the only female.

As for hating humanity (that is what the dictionary I used says a misanthrope does), there is nothing wrong with it, as long as you do it for the right reasons. If you hate the evil that exists in humanity, and you want humanity to be more just, and more good, then there is nothing wrong with it. It is a position I respect deeply. It is only problematic if you hate humanity for stupid reasons - not if you do it for the valid ones. We don't know which category he belongs to, but I will say that misanthropy in itself is not always a bad thing.

I think that the only ways to avoid being angry are through ignorance and through apathy. If this man's misanthropy is the manifestation of said anger, it's a sign that he cares, and has high standards. His high standards make him dislike most people, but if he is not a hypocrite, they also make him a better person - since he holds himself to them.

I think you're giving this guy a little too much credit.

I'm considering that this isn't even real, because of that picture which " looks a lot like her ". Lol. No human looks like that.

I'll just leave this here.

I can understand that kids can be fun to talk with, they have an outlook on life that is very much unlike ours and it's interesting. That said, your perspective is creepy - right out of the gate you mention menstruation and puberty, "legality" of those girls. Why are you thinking of this illegal stuff at all? And what's with the drawing... who here is interested in knowing what the girl looks like if the thread is about how she's interesting to talk to?

11 Shaunis out of 10 indeed.

Instead of giving her that creepy anime picture, why not link her to this blog, so she can see how much you appreciate her?

I don't think it's as bad as everyone else is making it seem. It sounds more like he sees himself in her and can relate his 10 year old self to her. If it's the same kind of love/admiration a parent has for a kid then it's totally fine. If it's sexual in anyway then ignore everything I said.

I know, that's the problem.
