Flirty Old Man: German Playboy, 77, Sues for Sex

[LoZoccolo]

Aging German playboy Rolf Eden has rarely taken no for an answer. And he's not about to start. He has filed charges against a 19-year-old for refusing to sleep with him. The complaint? Ageism.

"There are a few years separating us," the almost-octogenarian admits. "And there are some women who are too old for me. But in that case you have to be more diplomatic and say, 'Sorry, you're not my type.'"

Yeah, it's from October; it's the first time I've seen it though and thought it would generate interesting discussion.

1. If it was so humiliating to be rejected by her, why did he launch this lawsuit?

What a moron.

2. Are there no 77-year-old women who can sue Rolf Eden?

7. He says he can avoid that by saying "you're not my type". n/t

[Boojatta]

8. He thinks that it's okay to practice ageism, but not okay to

acknowledge practicing it?

3. perhaps the lady was trying to prevent his heart attack? :-)

4. Interesting discussion? Hardly.

No one is owed sex.

5. Talk about a sense of entitlement

he figures she doesn't have a right to decide whom she has sex with for any damn reason she wants?

6. If she had simply said that she was convinced that he had

weapons of mass destruction and was trying to discourage possession of WMDs by refusing to have sex with people who possess them, then there would have been no lawsuit.
