All men fancy younger women

I think I am insanely jealous. So don’t know whether I am BU?

My partner has started tutoring a 19 year old. He is a teacher but she is resisting as she wants a grade 9.

He hasn’t said much about her. I showed him a Facebook picture of her as I know of her. He said she is prettier than that in real life.
Now he thinks this is subjective and nothing untoward. Like he thinks our daughter is pretty.

AIBU and just a jealous hag?

''careful love, you're showing your true colours now ...or is that your true biology?''

yes i am taking a stand against a slap of misandry on my face and I am showing my true colours...

@boiler

You really ARE showing a nasty streak a mile wide.

You’re right about some things imo, but there’s no need to behave like a cunt, is there?

GorgonLondon · 29/05/2018 14:31

It's not misandry, we just hate you. Hth

RebelRogue · 29/05/2018 14:32

@boilerhouse2007 funny how taking a stand like "you're old and ugly and jealous men won't shag you" is quite a common one amongst men. Must be another prehistoric gene that they can't shake off, or is that an urge?

Trinity66 · 29/05/2018 14:33

I think alot of men would think a young beautiful girl is attractive, that doesn't mean they're going to pursue them, people, male and female walk passed and interact with attractive people everyday, that's life, there will always be someone younger and/or better looking than you. You'd drive yourself crazy if you worry about that kind of stuff.

Yea 2 posters threw a hurtful dig at me being a nonce for explaining evolution and biology and I responded and I am the cunt?

CakeWars · 29/05/2018 14:37

Yes, the implication that you want to have sex with your underaged students was maybe a bit of a cheap shot tbf.

Dungeondragon15 · 29/05/2018 14:38

oh come on-you are just arguing against what you already know...men are naturally hornier, naturally generally have different morals to sex[not saying that means they will cheat but most cheaters are men]

Speak for yourself. Not all men are "hornier" than women and plenty of women cheat.

men generally like physical attractiveness more than females

That is such a cliche usually spouted by single men who are convinced they can pull a really attractive woman even though they aren't that great to look at themselves. While rich, wealthy, powerful men sometimes attract women who are much more physically attractive than they are, people in relationships are usually similar with regard to physical attractiveness. This suggests that women are like "physical attractiveness" just as much as men.

sugarnotsweetener · 29/05/2018 14:39

I'm not sure i understand. Are you friends with her on FB so you see her pics? Or did you find a pic specifically to discuss?
Were you wanting him to say shes unattractive?

I think youre being paranoid, youre seeing being able to admit someone is pretty or attractive as an "urge" in your own words, which its not really is it. I bet you find people attractive all the time but you dont feel an urge to act upon it.

BuntyII · 29/05/2018 14:39

'And yea men do tend to think with their dicks alot. Any visual stimulation can send us into deep thoughts.'

Good job arguing against misandry @boilerhouse2007 Hmm who needs us to lump all men into one disgusting homogenous group when we have you to do it for us.

boilerhouse2007 · 29/05/2018 14:39

yes thank you it was, it was completely unacceptable. So yes I responded likewise with hostility to these 2 posters so really don't appreciate you calling me a cunt for that.

You find nothing at all disturbing about someone who claims to be a school teacher and who claims to have done 'a PHD in science' spending all evening and all day arguing that it's natural for men to want to fuck very young women - and that anyone who objects is a 'sad old ugly jealous woman'?

You'd be happy with him teaching your teenage daughter?

CakeWars · 29/05/2018 14:47

Well, I didn’t say you WERE a cunt, but I stand by my statement that you were behaving like one. If someone wrongly accused me of something horrible, my first reaction would never be “oh yeah well you’re bitter and no one wants to shag you, so ner”. Two wrongs blah blah. If you don’t like my post, then report it. I’m sure MN will remove it for you. I’m not especially fussed.

boilerhouse2007 · 29/05/2018 14:47

''who needs us to lump all men into one disgusting homogenous group when we have you to do it for us.''

There is no misandry or sexism there- study after study and years of research have conducted that men respond more to visual stimulation than females. In essence, men like physical attractiveness and higher testosterone levels makes them generally more horny. The 2 sexes generally have different stances when it comes to both sex and sexual attractiveness. Much research in the scientific world will support this. Even male babies who are shown pics of 2 females will stare at the more attractive face suggesting that it is inherent.
Not saying men are solely attracted to looks-they aren't but it plays a much bigger part in their attraction to the opposite sex than females hold the importance of looks.

Blaablaablaa · 29/05/2018 14:50

@boiler wtf am I reading??
Men are hornier and have different morals ....is that just your personal experience or your PhD in 'science' talking?? ( You're wrong btw)

Quite frankly you sound dangerous and not the sort of person who should be teaching young people.

CakeWars · 29/05/2018 14:50

@gorgon

Well, I wouldn’t have minded till the “unnattractive woman” post. But no. I wouldn’t like someone who has it in them to write that teaching any of my children, regardless of sex. It has a whiff of bullying, immaturity, shallow thinking and misogyny which I find pretty poor qualities.

Sorry @teacher man whose name I’ve forgotten. I don’t mean to be rude, but just as @gorgon asked. I wouldn’t have said this^^ otherwise.

Murane · 29/05/2018 14:51

In general teachers draw a mental line at dating students. I never in a million years looked at my students (aged 18+) as possible dates - it would be unprofessional, and YABU to think your DH would engage in such unprofessional behaviour (unless he has a history of doing that sort of thing?) Recognising that someone is attractive and entertaining sexual thoughts about them are two different things.

boilerhouse2007 · 29/05/2018 14:51

GorgonLondon The fact that i'm homosexual will sadly kill your little accusations there. Please get a life.

RoseWhiteTips · 29/05/2018 14:52

Do all women fancy younger men, too?

And so it's ok for females here to throw about misandry by instantly attacking me for saying what Scientists and wider society believe?? Nothing offensive there or immature/bullying about that...

Are you really a science teacher? The average man may respond to visual stimulation more than the average women but that doesn't mean that all men respond more than all women. It doesn't mean that all men value physical attraction more than all women or that all men prefer younger women either. You yourself may feel that way, but you can't speak for all men and you certainly can't speak for all women.

boilerhouse2007 · 29/05/2018 14:56

''Men are hornier and have different morals ....is that just your personal experience or your PhD in 'science' talking??''

oh bog off by different morals i mean they are less likely to get emotionally attached as women by sex. Really bog off with inappropriate comments like you just made just because you don't agree with my comments.

CakeWars · 29/05/2018 14:57

Oh, you probably know this already @boiler, and correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the term “homosexual” is considered offensive to some people.

Oh dear. Bog off is such a mature expression.
