Times were differnt back then...totally appropiate..
What is inappropiate: if he is hitting on 13 girls today/now/recently at his age and trying to meet 13 year old girls online and trying to meet them .....then you have a pervert.

Life expectancy wasn't as long as it is now,so people married young.Less stigma with a older man marrying a much younger women.

damn thats odd, but not really> If u conclude that notion is fact,"Grandpa A pervert", then i guess my uncle falls in the same category. He married at age 40, to my aunt 19....Wat do u think of that?

Because in those days men actually fell in love... not lust.
Today a guy 19 lust after a 13 yr old kid. Then it becomes perversion.

look at the singer Jerry Lee Lewis who married his 13yr old cousin.....he was criticized for that...but did it anyway. Also, back then people didn't worry about rape, pedophiles, and such as we do now....alot has changed

Must be from the south because that was not legal up here...even 60 years ago...look it up yourself if you don't believe me.
