Well it is legal in the US as well, 19 is not underage in terms of having sex, it is 18, I think, or it is 16, they keep making those laws laxer, the problem is perception and the drinking age is 21 so for a bar hopper even though teetotaler that's a problem not that most young people don't have good fake IDS these days, I've seen my nieces and they are even younger than 19, I shake my head but we did stuff like that too

Good for him!!! I'm so glad he realized 19 is too young for him. ROTFLMAO She IS GORGEOUS though.
Gerry will settle down if and when he wants to. Period. He's not looking for a "special lady"; he's looking for a "special night" or two ... I agree that it usually happens when you least expect it, but for now, Gerry wants nothing more than a good time.
More power to him!

Boy, the whole legal age for sex and drinking is so confusing especially since it's differnet in every country. I think in Germany (where I'm originally from) 18 is the legal age for sex (or is it 16?), the legal age for drinking is 16 (beers and wine) and 18 for any type of alcohol... and you can't drive before 18.
In the US it's... well... different...LOL
I agree, Mrs. B., I do not think Gerry wants to settle down just yet and he picks his flings accordingly.

Settling down after a certain age (30-35) is VERY hard. I am in the same boat as Gerry. I haven't met the ONE yet either. Sometimes I'm lonely and it hurts... but then there are other times I am so glad that I am single and can go out with friends whereever and whenever I want to. Gerry is even more of a free spirit than I am and even though parts of him want to settle down, others don't. I believe he is not ready yet. I am glad to see he is still checking out other girls. As long as he's still single I can fantasize about him without guilt...LOL I often hope I'll find the one before he'll find the one....LOL But it's tough in an area where there are no men around in my age group.... Oh well.... until then I'll make the best of single-dom...LOL PS... I hated the end of "Up In The Air" because it was so depressing. It made me feel completely worthless being single. But that is so wrong and should not be promoted. If you are single you have to make the best of it, there is no other choice. Sitting home and griefing your single-ness is not a solution. You have to go out and have fun and meet people, or at least try. That girl is beautiful but she does NOT look 19!!!! More like mid-late 20ies. I'm not blaming Gerry going for her and more respect to him for declining a relationship. In Europe in would be totally legal (you have to be 18).... still... it would be... kind of gross.... No she doesn't look 19 and is a beauty queen to boot. According to her cousin Gerry spotted her and chased her down... now that's romantic if things had been different and she had been older. I will try to find out a few more details, I normally do my banking on Friday and I know all the gals there and we have a gab fest every time I go in there. I do know this gal just happened to be in Birmingham that day and was not there seeking Gerry out and was in fact very shocked she met him and he really surprised and flattered her. But her age was the deal breaker.

Michigan drinking age 21 age of sexual consent is 16
Ontario where I live drinking age 19 so I imagine lot of younguns come from Detroit to Windsor for drinking. Age of sexual consent is 16 but 14 and 15 year old can have sex with someone up to just less than 5 years older than themselves, well without the older person committing a crime unless you are married. They raised the drinking age the year I turned 18 in order to try to keep booze out of high school but that is when we had Grade 13. They abolished Grade 13 so it is not really fair, people in first year university now can't drink legally when the rest of the campus is and if you can vote at 18 seems to me you should be able to drink at 18. Driving age is 16 but it's a few year process to get your full licence. I did not know this 16 year olds can join the army with parental permission, just the reserves though and 17 year olds can join full military with parental permission
Now when I grew up I always had the impression that 17 and under was jailbait and that was because there was an archaic law on the books that said that a man over 18 who "seduced" a woman between 16 and 18 who was of "previously chaste character" ie a virgin, was commiting an offence, though not as serious as having sex with someone between 14 and under 16, that was statutory rape, in both cases the key was the previously chaste character. So be on the safe side I seem to recall older guys making sure you were 18, LOL "your honor I swear she looked 18!" But in fact the age of consent was then 14 if you were a slut. Oh dear.

He probably just came right out and said something like, "You are just beautiful", and gave her his gorgeous smile...
He's just the kind of guy who can do s**t like that...You go, Gerry!

According to her cousin that is exactly what he said. He chased her down and told her how beautiful she was, just plain and simple and straight forward.

Oh, Lord, Gerry must have been SO disappointed when he heard that beauty's age!! So glad to hear he wouldn't "go there." Was she disappointed as well? She's lovely, and who knows, in a few years, if Gerry is still single and ready to mingle, the age difference won't matter so much anymore!! How does he keep track of all of the women who catch his fancy? It boggles the mind . . .and on a shallow note: God, he looks good!
I can hear him now "I couldn't help but notice that you are stunningly beautiful and I MUST have you, if even for just one night!" He'd flash that gorgeous smile and look at her with those deadly eyes, and she'd fall into his arms and he'd put her on his horse and they'd ride off to his castle together . . .oh, yeah, right, this is Gerry Butler we're talking about -- things like this happen all the time!!
Seriously, she knows she's gorgeous, but to hear it from Gerry must have made her day. Oh, hell, it made her year!! Two more years to go and she'll be 21 -- I'm sure he has her b'day programmed into his phone, lol!!

Tks, tsk, tsk, not nice Gerry, dear! Age discrimination? Come on, if it's legal and she consents what is your problem? We're not talking life time commitment here, we are talking equal rights to the "Gerry juice". Why should the young ones be deprived if they are "thirsty"? Besides you don't look anywhere near a 40 year old so no problem really. Just make sure you use plenty of those L'Oreal anti ageing products! :-)
BTW, that girl was one of the best looking girls I've ever seen. Amazing hair and down to earth beauty, not the conceited type. I wish her all the best.

Exclusive story: This is a former Miss Teen USA Michigan and she is the cousin of one of the tellers where I do my banking and she gave me the exclusive story... We have quite a few pix of Gerry so maybe we can pin point the date this was taken and it was either right before LC came to Detroit or right after. The story is Gerry saw this lovely girl in Birmingham where he was here recently filming MGP and his Man-dar went off, leading him to her like a scud missile. This beauty is exactly his type; Arabic decent beautiful and exotic. He made a fast bee-line to her and told her she was stunningly beautiful and they exchanged information for a future date, however the deal breaker was when The Butler found out she was still a delicate nineteen years old and he passed on the date but she got a picture and an awesome story out of the experience.

I wonder if Gerry felt a little guilty for thinking impure thoughts of what he'd like to do to and with her, after he found out he was technically old enough to have fathered her?? At the rate he's going, if he continues to stay single, it's gonna be happening more and more. The young girls just LOVE Gerry!!

Wow, what I wouldn't GIVE for that kind of skin tone. She's gorgeous!!! I'm horribly jealous of her eyebrows, too. Hey, I have thin blonde eyebrows, don't judge me!
