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?

And posting that 'all men are pervs' isn't ridiculous? Hmm

Things have certainly changed over the years as I would have been repulsed at an older man looking at me as a teenager.

Yes you are absolutely right I remember being at a party in a pub about 15 years ago and this teenage girl was dancing and looking sexy and this 30 something man was WELL into her, totally checking her out the weirdo

.......oh no wait that was me and I married the guy

I totally agree with you OP.

The thing with most guys ( and women too) is that although they're physically in their 40s, 50s etc, in their minds they're still 25 !

porcamiseria · 01/03/2012 17:32

"Maybe these middle aged men were looking at these girls and thinking 'I wouldn't let my daughter go out dressed like that!

hahahahahahahahaha, bollocks were they

Of course men of all ages eye up any female with an adult figure. Just as any women gives a quick look up and down to any man.
It's as natural as breathing and not wrong.

For fucks sake I eye up male tennis players and athletes young enough to be my sons.

I have a teenage daughter, she's taller than I am with a better figure.

I hardly expect every man to look at the floor when she walks past, that's stupid. I hope they look think she looks like a nice friendly normal girl, not yet quite a woman.

Hully has let everyone down by being so ridiculous. I think to she should take those nipple tassels off and just calm down.

southeastastra · 01/03/2012 17:42

i don't think women eye up men as much as men do women, i sort of know what the op means. i know it's biology and that but it's pretty creepy imo anyway

tethersend · 01/03/2012 17:43

They're all the same, Trills. They just don't care.

Archemedes · 01/03/2012 17:45

I think everybody looks,
I often find tarty girls look younger as its apparent they are so desperate to look older IYSWIM.
Its pretty sad when you seem people eyeing up someone infront of their OH blatantly must be pretty shit to be so humiliated in public.

Chemical castration for the over 40s it's the only answer.

I think this sketch from the fast show is fairly accurate:

LeQ Dh does the same Hmm

So I informed MrHoneydragon that Fabwoman expressed positive affirmations for him on the thread. The subject matter has obviously got to him as his response was

"Cool, does she put out?"

whence he returned to his shed at speed sniggering. Grin
