To think lots of men are googling wombats?

Hi all,

Mostly anywhere I go, men shout crude things, stare at me, or whisper to other men and smile at me. I can't go out for a simple lunch with a friend without them reminding me men are bloody looking!

My issue is I believe I need some form of counselling, or perhaps to speak to my GP. I'm in no way creating this thread to brag, quite the opposite. I'm a poorly lady so the last thing on my mind is taking gratification from googling wombats.

I most certainly don't have big titties, I'm a bloody A/B cup! I never dress provocatively, just my usual work dresses and sensible heels at work, and I dress down of course at weekends.

I know women get sick of men talking to their tits instead of their faces, but I can't even blame it on that.

It feels really demoralising and I just feel like crawling up into a ball and never showing my face again Sad

Am I being over sensitive? It's the Constance of it that gets me down so much. I know it's not all in my head because my own DP, friends and Mum have noticed it.

I love Googling Wombats. 'Greek Tragedy' is a great song.

DragonsCanHop · 11/09/2015 22:00

I totally understood everything until I read phantoms reply and now I'm well Confused

OddlyLogical · 11/09/2015 22:00

Why did you just make me google dragon butter?!?!?!

Misnomer · 11/09/2015 22:03

No one with actual titties says titties.

And, op, I'm also very disappointed with the lack of googling wombats on this thread. I've been led astray.

Rowboat · 11/09/2015 22:03

Dragon waffle? Is that a hybrid blue waffle/dragon butter? Terrifying! Grin This thread!

msgrinch · 11/09/2015 22:04

It's jokes, my tittiez nearly fell off with all the lolz.

GriefLeavesItsMark · 11/09/2015 22:04

I do not understand anyof the original post, but Could someone PLEASE tell me what dragon butter is, preferably using euphemisms, as ,I am too scared to Google.

nagsandovalballs · 11/09/2015 22:08

I googled dragon butter and just saw lots of pics of butter sculpted as dragons and a Welsh butter company

Blue waffle is fucking gross though

KnockMeDown · 11/09/2015 22:18

I've just googled "wombat" and got the following:-

"Wombats are short-legged, muscular quadrupedal marsupials native to Australia"

It it, frankly, exactly what I would expect to find.

What am I missing? Confused

PurpleDaisies · 11/09/2015 22:27

I opened this thread thinking it would be slagging off men's ability to use google.

Are you sure you're not imagining these men constantly talking about you and leering at you? To be honest it sounds a little unlikely to me.

AnnieOnAMapleLeaf · 12/09/2015 00:43

Oh my hell! The Doritos story is disgusting. Ugh!

ScarletRuby · 12/09/2015 02:18

I don not understand a word of this. Not. one. word.

Absofrigginlootly · 12/09/2015 02:39

Beg pard????!!!!!??????? Confused

This thread makesnosense

MrsLeighHalfpenny · 12/09/2015 08:28

No woman I know would ever say titties.
OP - are you really a chap?

ShakesBootyFlabWobbles · 12/09/2015 10:10

Wtf?

SilverdaleGlen · 12/09/2015 10:15

Ok someone needs to explain this slowly and clearly.

UntilTheCowsComeHome · 12/09/2015 10:42

Could someone explain (gently) what the Doritos story is please whilst I google wombats? Ta muchly.

anotherbloomingusername · 12/09/2015 10:49

Oh, you were calling the creepy men wombats! I get it now.

I think that's grossly unfair to wombats, actually. I actually have Googled wombats in the past, and they're gorgeous. (see attached photo for reference)

I think "ogling wankers" is the term you were looking for, OP. And yes, some men really are.

To think lots of men are googling wombats?
Gruntfuttock · 12/09/2015 12:13

I don't have a problem if men (or women or children) want to Google 'wombats'. Am I too liberal?

Wombatinabathhat · 12/09/2015 14:07

Ahem.
Wombats are fantastic - they are not creepy blokes who leer at women's breasts.
Thank you

Gruntfuttock · 12/09/2015 14:11

Now I want to see a wombat in a bath hat and it's all your fault, previous poster. Angry

WorldsBiggestGrotbag · 12/09/2015 14:17

I'm really, really confused.

tomatodizzymum · 12/09/2015 14:21

I thought this was going to be like the penis shoe thing, I was worried for wombats. Glad they are safe. If the men are the problem then why on earth would you need counselling?

derxa · 12/09/2015 14:27

Grin Tears of laughter

LovelyFriend · 12/09/2015 14:35

I will never Google dragon butter.

Googling "grapefruit technique" however is ok and quite amusing.

OP I thought all this street level sexual harassment would die down as I age. I'm fat and 47 and am still subjected to it. Only when I'm on my own though. It's almost like gas lighting in that sense. Other people have told me I must be making things up when I've raised the subject. It makes me feel quite alone so it is a relief to be able to discuss it on MN etc. It sucks.
