... Some people think they dress purposely to attract that kind of attention. I can assure you that my 15 year old employees do not want that kind of attention from those people. They don't dress sexy, they dress cute, it's how teenage girls dress.

wait, isnt the legal employment age 16?  why are you hiring 15 year olds?

I have one child, a son, 24, who is on staff at the college from which he graduated, and has his own business.    I helped him get started with his business.   He has done a lot of … photography and … multimedia work with… um… models.  (Yeah, I know.   As a father, I rock royally.  LOL!)

I’m 48.   My son and I relate well to each other.  

One of the things I have periodically done with him is this…

I  have asked him to write down his dream job, places he would like to see in the world, things/women he would like to do, the kind of cars he would like to own,  the sky is the limit whatever you would like write it down.

I then I ask him one question........

Which , if any , of those things will a woman help you achieve?    Other than the few women who will help you meat [sic] other women, most will only limit the potential of your future.    

Every time there is a screaming kid around, I point it out.    Every time there is a thread on ARFcom about another relationship in which a guy allowed himself to be screwed over, I forward it to my son.      

It is import to know what you want, understand the price you will to pay to attain it, recognize the obstacles that will get in your way of achievement,  and possess and develop the maturity to carry out your plans.

I used to think like that. I know lonely, bitter old men who still do. My grandpa always explained to me that a good woman is a great thing to have.

I found one. He was right. You've saddled your kid with a limitation on his potential happiness.

I do see your side. My friend is going through a divorce and it's a nasty one. He chose poorly. Just because some people choose poorly and some folks make poor mates and friends doesn't mean that, when you have a good one, it can't be a wonderful addition to your life.
