Is my boyfriend a sexist?

[MySexistBF]

Last night we went to see a film at the cinema.

Talking about it today my boyfriend said that he used to like one of the female actresses in the film but he now didn’t like her because she was ‘old’.

I pulled him up on this and asked him to think about what he was saying as it sounded very much like he was saying that women were only valuable if they were pretty.

I said I would be old one day. He replied that he didn’t want to look at her now she’s all wrinkly. However it might be different if he was old and wrinkly himself (!) Now he is ten years older than me and is middle aged. Certainly nothing special to look at (not that this matters to me).

I’m just really annoyed that he has said this. I think this is an unacceptable attitude and it would appear that he thinks women are objects for him to look at.

AIBU?

If I were him I wouldn't be sticking around. He's entitled to his opinion.

Alsohuman I get it. Misunderstood what you meant by work.

I think there is a difference between not viewing a Hollywood crush in the same way from their 'peak' to as they age, to viewing someone you love age.
This

Nobody is obliged to keep the same celebrity crush for decades or find a stranger attractive over time just to avoid offending anyone. Some people age well, others don't. Acknowledging this with celebs doesn't mean that someone's going to go off someone they love and care for as they age.

No worries @Snoozysnoozy.

Linda Hamilton is gorgeous, she looks her age, but fabulous all the same. Arnie looks like a dog's dinner

I understand where you're coming from OP but I do think you're being a bit OTT.

It's not for me, but plenty of people like celebrities because of how they look or how they acted in a certain part (ie they like the character). He is not alone in this. Plenty women like Brad Pitt etc it doesnt mean they're sexist it means they find him attractive. Most people like celebrities because of how they look not because of their acting work or their charitable donations. So when their looks change then their attractiveness goes.

Also when you're 15 you can find a 30 year old attractive, it may not be the same when you are 30 and they are 45 - tastes change.

If he had said he loved his ex while she was a stunning 23 year old but didnt like her as soon as she got pregnant or got a wrinkle then I think youd have a point, but otherwise it just sounds like a fantasy becoming reality.

Sorry but I think you're taking this way too seriously
