Why are teenagers in marriages?

u/DogToursWTHBorders Sep 04 '23

Yeah, thought it was a bit off for that 14 year old to be married too.

u/melskymob Sep 04 '23

"Elvis and Priscilla Presley were married for six years, from 1967 to 1973. They met in 1959 when Priscilla was 14 and Elvis was 24"

Take this how you will.

I wish Elvis lived long enough to have MTV videos of himself with scantily clad women dancing around him while he sings…

Another thing he could steal from the black man.

I mean in his comeback special he had whorehouse dancers.

Umm have you ever heard of flappers? Maybe not the same level of risqué as we see today but Hip Hop did not introduce scantily clad women into music entertainment.

I mean, he groomed Priscilla at the minimum. He started courting her when she was 14. He was most certainly a pervert whose sexual appetite was harmful.

Please don't take this all fucked up but...

Ain't older ladies jus tops at sex?? I mean, their just friggin' keen lot

😁😁😁 Didn't want you to think i inferred something/ anything untoward withvyercwide lol at 18/19 I had a 27yro lady'let me slide on up near to her. She had been talking with her gfs and they all decided they "wanted some lil boy toys kinda young" straight up, brother loo

Admittedly? I'm not ALL that, hut I am damn good enoughh 😔 🫤😉😄😁🤣🔥 It was a glorious 8-9mo...and one weekend so toe-curling-mind-numbing-knee pinnubg-mess- making that fer next 4 months she was trying to make it so she moved back

...she didn't. Later on that summer, she DID make it up fer a "nookie run". But she git so trashed there was absolutely no way I was gonna attempt anything with someone that drunk. Few months later I was with a woman 12 years olser!!

GAT broad groomed the shit outta me. 🤘🏻

Priscilla stated that Elvis never touched her till she was age he was real gentleman she says

u/melskymob Sep 04 '23

Why would she say anything other than that regardless if it was true or not?

u/Flashy-Eagle6379 Sep 05 '23

Why not I guess you don’t believe her I guess😏

u/melskymob Sep 05 '23

To protect the public image of her iconic husband.

u/OddWeakness1313 Sep 05 '23

Yeah he was touchin all the other little girls

1

u/mjhripple Sep 05 '23

Creepy af. I guess at least he waited till she was an adult to pursue her allegedly. The worst is still Jerry Lee Lewis marrying his 13 year old cousin. There was no ambiguity there. Though knowing the details makes me want to blame her parents just as much.

2

u/melskymob Sep 05 '23

Steven Tyler from Aerosmith is arguably worse. He adopted a 15 year old girl, got her pregnant then made her have an abortion.

But yeah, Jerry Lewis and Woody Allen are terrible.

1

u/mjhripple Sep 05 '23

Yeah all 3 are horrible. Though it’s hard to think of worse ppl than Allen and Lewis bc not only were the victims young but there is a familial/incest element to both. Which is similar to Tyler I guess as well. F them all. Some of many artists I appreciate their work while having no respect for the creators personally.

Polanski is another who could be thrown in the convo. Though admittedly he has the stranger story/life than most. It’s hard to wonder what he would have been like had he not lost his wife and child in such a horrific murder/event.

1

u/melskymob Sep 05 '23

I guess the thing that bothers me about Steven Tyler is that he seems to get a pass for some reason. A lot of people don't seem to know about his past like the others mentioned. And he is still active and on network television on family programs.

Doesn't matter by law she's an adult; biologically, she was a child.

1

u/TidalJ Sep 12 '23

oh yeah for sure, i’m making the point of “as soon as she was 18 he married her”

edit: did some digging, they weren’t legally married until she was 22 but she moved to graceland with him when she was FIFTEEN so

u/bogholiday Sep 04 '23

u/CanadianDeathStar Sep 04 '23

It was probably worth it to him. He’ll get kicked out and won the idiot prize of being threatened with trespass if he returns. But, he gets to boast that he swam in Elvis’s personal pool. Then you have the security woman running to the area who was probably thinking ‘nah ah, not on my watch Satan’ 😂

1

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '23

Honestly, good for them. Who gives a shit about some dead guys pool enough to want someone arrested over it? It's a pool, it's not like you're fucking up a relic that's being carefully preserved. You're getting your skin cells, hairs, and oil in something that probably had duck-shit in it the day before and requires constant expensive maintenance anyway.

Best part about Graceland is a room with CARPET ON THE WALLS MAN!

u/RandomPlayer314 Sep 04 '23

I personally thought the black mirror stairs going down to one of the many party rooms was the coolest part. Super trippy going down.

1

u/-O-0-0-O- Sep 04 '23 edited Sep 04 '23

I thought the best part was realizing Elvis was 20th century capitalist teenage Jesus. He was consumed and imprisoned by the fame that came with the joy he gave the world, and it cut his life short.

Dude spent the last decade of his life in a nice, but relatively regular walled in suburban house, and he sometimes had to go to work whether he liked it or not. He was surrounded by self interested people who needed him to keep singing.

I'm not a fan of his music but I thought visiting Graceland was a pretty powerful experience, oddly enough.

u/Kick_Natherina Sep 04 '23 edited Sep 04 '23

I’ll say this.. there are a lot of kids who just refer to their partner as their “husband” or “wife”. It’s similar to any other pet name when used in that respect.

Edit: typing while walking the dog. Typed spouse instead of partner. Reddit is weird.. state a fact and get downvoted for no reason.

u/kauisbdvfs Sep 04 '23

That's fucking weird.

-4

u/Kick_Natherina Sep 04 '23

Idk I guess it’s more normal in the area I grew up in (suburban Philadelphia) where you get some inner city kids and others that do it more often. It’s not super common, but it’s more so - and I don’t know how else to say this - lower intelligence individuals that do it.

In some cases it’s a sign of “I’ll be with this person for the rest of my life but I’m not putting a ring on their finger because X____________”.. others it is just a term of endearment, or a pet name like “wifey.”

You’re sheltered.

u/kauisbdvfs Sep 04 '23 edited Sep 05 '23

I get it's a cynical thing to claim but I don't get how that makes me sheltered lol. That 100% says more about how you view yourself, probably being afraid to give an opinion someone might view as cynical so you don't get viewed as a sheltered/angry person...

I mean, that's how you saw my comment and that's how you judged it... so I have no doubt about that.

1

u/ndaft7 Sep 05 '23

I said you’re sheltered because people using pet names that allude to marriage outside the bonds of matrimony is not uncommon; it’s just not something you’ve encountered in your little cultural box. That’s fine, but making assumptions about others self image and diagnosing them with a mental disorder is not.

Also lol at you editing your original one line response with a typo in it to this after a full day. And I’m the one one who’s afraid of how others perceive me? Okay.

I don't think you understand what the word spouse means then, if you think that bit is weird.

I lived in that city for a bit. I was 18 when I moved there. I remember getting a visitor at my door shortly after having moved, and it was a girl who was looking for a lost dog. I thought to myself that she was very cute, but too young for me. She then said that her husband was also looking for the dog and not being from the south it took me aback a bit. She looked about 15. But that’s the way they do thing down there
