As they get older

I still like them.

Yes, I like little girls in general. But it's not as though I like a girl when she's five, or ten, and when she turns eighteen all of a sudden I stop liking her. Not at all! In fact, if I like a girl when she's young, chances are I'll like her as an adult.

It works that way for movie stars. Natalie Portman - I liked her when she was eleven, and I still like her now. Same with other girls like Dakota and Elle Fanning, and Abigail Breslin (who I just saw on Jimmy Fallon's show). Liked them when they were little, and continue liking them as they get older.

It's also that way with girls I know in real life. My love and affection for them is genuine, and I tend to like girls who have nice personalities. As long as their personality doesn't totally change when they grow up, they're still my friends! :-D
