My son has the most difficult time decyphering what kids his age talk about. He's nearly 18 and I'm talking about the kids he goes to school [high school] with. They're always saying things to him such as "Hey Will - I had a great time with your Mom last night" [I thought he handled that particular one well as he said "Now Dalton you know my mother isn't attracted to short fat bald boys"  ] or one kid asked him if he got laid over spring break [my son's autistic and he had to ask me what it meant]. Does this kind of talk stop after high school? I have no idea how to teach him to channel these type of statement/questions. Patty |
HAHAHAHA WHAT?!? What college did YOU go to? It really depends. By the time you get to college there is generally a large enough group of peers you can find some to hang out with that have grown up a little. But there certainly will still be some that still act like they are in high school. |
| does it stop after high school.... no.... when i'm in school (college sophomore) i'll ask random guys if they got laid this weekend (if so a high five or siihpapp question will follow) i used to tell random guys that their mom was terrific in the sack this weekend but that got me into some serious fights and jail time. |
Well that's one of my concerns. One kid asked him if he masturbated and Will's response was "No your sister takes care of it for me" and the kid jumped him. Luckily my son is very capable of defending himself but I don't want that to happen either. Patty |
Let me be the first.... IMO, if somebody is dumb enough to ask that question of him, they deserve that response. (not trying to make light of the situation, that was a good comeback) For the most part, my friends matured some after high school, but the occasional penis joke or a pretty good ribbing on one another is still very common. |
Men always talk like this. No matter what the age. The only things that change is who you do it in front of and how crude you are. I'll quote my wife on this subject "You are completely different around your buddies and your dad. I don't understand/like it." At the in-laws house, around the grand-parents, around the nieces/nephews I am a saint. Give me a couple beers and put me in a room with my dad and/or friends of mine and we all revert back to the grade school play ground. He'll likely have to deal with comments like that the rest of his life. We all do. Good thing is it sounds like he handles himself pretty well. Don't sweat it. He'll be alright.  |
Sounds like the talk around my shop... Get a bunch of rescue Pilots, Gunners, and Flight Engineers together and stuff goes downhill FAST! ~Dg84 |

(markm) These Things Happen(/markm) I never understood things either, probably partly because I'm autistic like Patty's son is. Heck, when people in 8th grade asked me if I liked Korn, I said "on the cob" not knowing that they were referring to the group and not the food. The best advice about if they say stuff about "your mom, etc" is to just ignore it. That's what I did, It's hard TO ignore it, but that's the best thing to do. |

Here at school, or when I am at work we always talk dirty,,,,,explicit stories, funny jokes, who cares. Only say mean and nasty things if we dislike a person though. I would never say anything about someones mom, but I will say stuff about their sister ( hell I will do their sister if I get a chance,,, shiiippaap) when I am on a job site and a girl is around we keep quiet and are respectfull, when we are at school and a girl who someone banged is around we joke and make it be known that she is a whore. |

I LOL'D! Awesome! Your son wins. 
You know, AB does have a point. The middle aged guys on here outdo most highschoolers I know. |
THERE THAT IS! AB |
This bears repeating. Not only does it not stop, it gets WORSE. See the shop exchange on pg1 for a perfect example. High school boys aren't capable of reaching those kinds of lows. It takes practice.

Its not the guys I'd be worried about...one of these days some GIRL in your sons age range will say something smartassed and your son will respond innocently, only to be perceived by the girl as a verbal barb so evil in meaning, that she will be scarred for life from the incident. |
+1  Something about dorms turns otherwise respectable guys into complete fucktards. |

With credit given to talon370, I'd like to expand on my earlier point regarding the evolution of "Guy Talk", and how it gets worse: 6 years old Johnnie: You like girls! Timmy: Nuh uh! And you're a poo poo head, plus you stink! 16 years old Johnathan: I'll bet you're still a virgin. Timothy: Ya, well I fucked your sister. 30 years old John: Hey Tim, tell your wife I want eggs for breakfast, and not to wake me up until they're ready. Tim: All right, I'll let her know. Also, tell your wife that she needs to lose some weight. It's getting harder to push her off me in the morning. |
Good Question. Actually in all fairness I start lots of threads on other stuff, most likely you're just not interested in those topics enough to check em out. Currently I have a thread on soft polo shirts, my visit with my attorney, ordering pictures, how liberal/conservative are you, how my new job is going and info on the new star wars game.

There is a time and place for goofing around, however. I AM mature about the important stuff.
Or firefighters, police officers, stockbrokers, lawyers, etc, etc... I've always said, if women knew how men were when women weren't around, we'd be living in a world full of lesbians. |
I think it's something about cramming 40 or so guys on a small floor, including usually at least 2 per room, with only a very small percentage of them getting laid on anything approaching a regular basis. You've heard of the term "prison gay" or "jailhouse gay?" |
Boss: Hey! Quit beating each other off and get back to work! |
42, and just more sophisticated on how we act immaturely ! Although, my work environment may be somewhat different than the norm.
|
"...more sophisticated..." riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight..... 
|
I hate to say it Patty but men stop developing emotionally at about 13 years of age. I'm 43 and the bulk of my interactions with other men are punctuated by dick and fart jokes. |
I guess the "Men" are in the minority then eh? |
I guess so count me as "in" nothing to prove here my friend
