To think all men are basically pervs?

Hi there

Felt compelled to ask this as just lately I have really been seeing men in a different light when in social settings. Perhaps I am just getting old and grumpy or reading something that isn't there.

I have been to a few parties recently and have been really conscious of men eyeing up very young almost tartily dressed teenagers. These girls were dressed very glamorously but waay too old for their age. I saw a couple of girls probably aged 16/17 and a couple over 18's, but not by much.

What I found worrying was middle aged men blatently eyeing them up and more worrying men in my group of friends/family. Men old enough to be their dad's. Not necessarily gawping but craftily staring when they could. Now I'm talking not just about a pretty girl but proper tarted up, hot pants the lot.

It made me feel quite sick to see middle aged men perving like this, so am I being unreasonable here to think even nice guys are secret pervs and although they may not be happy with their daughters dressed up like that, they will happily ogle others?

I grew up watching Buffy.. she was much cooler than soppy Bella in Twilight. Plus she had Angel & Spike to choose from.. Real men (er, vampires). But grown up & properly sexy.

I don't need to 'watch' my husband. He is a grown adult not a possession.

How would 'watching' him help? If he wants to cheat/be a scumbag then no amount of surveillance is going to help.

You work in an industry which attracts creeps. Of course your view is going to be coloured by that.

Horrible anecdotes don't make it any more true. Guy with baby in sling looking for random blowjob is not representative of the entire male population of the planet.

Itsonlyaquestion and Morloth. I am sorry for my comments. However, I have found huge amounts of married men to have paid working girls over my 19 year career. Of course not all married men pay working girls (not whores by the way). I have seen plenty of single men pay too. But certain incidents stick in my mind. Like the time an English man approached a working friend of mine. On a Sunday morning in Bayswater. He asked for business. At the time he had a baby in a sling round him! He told my mate 'She is sleeping, have you got a place? I have £120 I just want a blow job. I ain't chatting shit neither. So IMO watch your husband!!!!
.. By the way my friend declined the transaction. And working girl not whore please!!!!

yep. Gingers get so little airtime re sexiness.

Honeydragon · 03/03/2012 23:22

not sexy

sexy

Morloth · 03/03/2012 23:12

No I agree Loveday Twilight is for the kiddies and a 13-21 year old getting all gushy over them makes sense but 30+ and it starts to get a little creepy, however I wouldn't extrapolate from that that all women enjoy perving on teenage boys.

LOTR is like a smorgasboard. Including Liv Tyler, her I would make a break from straightness for!

SarahStratton · 03/03/2012 23:11

The line is firmly drawn quite a bit before Fingerbobs, Honey.

LovedayPan · 03/03/2012 23:06

yes HD, a sort of friend of mine who is male and a bit middle-aged has a thing about the LotR films. Less so the books. I do wonder about him at times....

Honeydragon · 03/03/2012 23:04

I find Beaker from the Muppets quite sexy, where do we stand on puppets?

Honeydragon · 03/03/2012 23:03

Lord of The Rings and The Hobbit were written for children too, not middle aged men with distinct traits of nerdiness Grin

LovedayPan · 03/03/2012 23:00

Twilight isn't designed for adults, yes? Is this news just in? Surely not.

Morloth · 03/03/2012 22:38

Vampires without the blood and sex, what was the point?

And werewolves with no body hair? I mean really.

Honeydragon · 03/03/2012 22:37

Steve and his large rod

Honeydragon · 03/03/2012 22:33

Even the parents in Twilight look about 12.

Morloth · 03/03/2012 22:31

Nah, he eats weird shit.

Mike Rowe confuses me, I am torn between wanting to throw him down and jump on him, or just throw up.

Steve though, he is always without his shirt and you can just imagine...

I didn't get the Twilight thing myself, they still looked like kids to me, especially the werewolf boy.

Honeydragon · 03/03/2012 22:26

I like a bit of Bear in the snow, as it were, myself, Morloth Grin
Very educational

Morloth · 03/03/2012 22:24

You wouldn't believe how fast I move when DS1 says 'Mum, Deadly 60 is on'.

Now there is some prime perving material.

Honeydragon · 03/03/2012 22:17

bugger, I may be a perv...I am strangely entranced by Rhianas legs on Jonathan Ross.

LovedayPan · 03/03/2012 21:57

And should really put down the broom. And use a good mouthwash.

Trills · 03/03/2012 21:51

People who make sweeping generalisations always have bad breath

TiggyD · 03/03/2012 21:49

Well done for getting the joke.
