You are not alone! It bothers me a great deal that a 19-year-old, high school graduate associates with grown men socially without them being friends of family/parents.
Me, too. MrMr is <b>quite a bit</b> older at 44. When I was 19, I would have thought 25 was o.l.d. and I couldn't imagine having a "good friend" especially a man who's been around the block so to speak, I was too intimidated back then. But that's just me, scaredy cat of older men.

uke: no offense meant, that's just me.
I agree with both of you 100%-it bothers me a great deal. I would be inclined to say that a vast majority of those reading this thread feel the same way. To help wrap your head around this concept without throwing up

FelicityLemon), let's re-address the culture of the area-more specifically, the culture of those mentioned thus far in this thread and by MSM. When referencing Mr. Mister, the fact that he is 44 and Jessica is 19, yes, this is an unsettling age difference. Mr. Mister's "Mrs", Denise Tudor, who has arrest records in Panola County under numerous names, including "Denise Mister" (
http://www.panolian.com/editionview...4b4&Page=2593dfe2-ddab-41ab-995a-e3341776d7b6), seems to be of a similar age of JC, IMO-as I have not yet located her age.
What I feel needs subsequent canvassing is the fact that it is well documented that Mr. Mister has been long reported to be a Mafia Vice Lord gang
Leader in the Batesville area (
http://www.panolian.com/editionview...871&Page=900633b3-6c2a-4674-81e8-2fe46d490dc1). Here is a little bit of documented information regarding the VL gang organization, as was prepared by George W. Knox, PhD. for the National Gang Crimes Research Center: The informal social organization (ISO) within the formal social organization (FSO) in the case of the Vice Lord gang, at the leadership level, is often a function of family relationships. This ISO functions within the larger FSO. The ISO is based on family solidarity therefore has pre-existing ties of kinship and family. The ISO has both the solidarity of kinship ties and the solidarity of their relationship to the FSO. The ISO at the leadership level is almost equivalent to a family royalty, as they have blood lines and immediate family ties to the top leader of the gang (

As he might not be easy on the eyes, or in the same age range as these young women, the clout that accompanies a title such as his can be appealing to younger, more impressionable women. I am in NO WAY insinuating that JC was romantically involved with Mr. Mister. I am only bringing this up to provide a different angle in which to view this situation, as possible scenarios that could lead attractive young women to make the acquaintance of not so attractive, much older men. Some see it as a prize position, to be associated with such a person.
