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?

"One party had a girl dressed in miniscule hotpants(no one else even dressed in anything close to this )the other was a wedding. Girl in normal dress but very very tarted up-ie TOWIE style"

So any male that looks at a woman/girl dressed like this is a perv but you aren't?

I think that you should get some perspective.

serves me right for tl;dr

Yabvvvu of course. Talk about tarring all men with the same brush

You might not see this as 12 years late but totally agree. It’s disgusting and puts me off men.
these people who are saying dress how you like then what if what I like is naked with my tits and arse out near your husband. Disrespectful. I would slap the slapper.

So not actually doing anything pervy at all then. It’s not illegal or improper to look at other people.

MissTrip82 · 03/12/2024 20:20

Of course it’s revolting to be ogling anyone especially young women.

It’s also revolting, and part of the same appalling social norm, to repeatedly call girls ‘tartily’ dressed or ‘tarted up’.

The same misogyny is behind both.

search4youth · 03/12/2024 20:26

So true. Love the women on here who realise it’s normal for men to stare and get all worked up over my arse hugging hot pants and my nipples showing tight tank top. I love getting other women’s husbands to dribble longlingy at me.
it’s normal isn’t it?

search4youth · 03/12/2024 20:33

Be quiet. You misrepresent what OP said you fool. You carry on thinking it’s normal. Weirdo

search4youth · 03/12/2024 20:37

Working girls. You mean whores.
