Saw her last week. Good fun. I missed the opportunity to wear my glittery Christmas dress though.

We all know she has legs that go on for days and likes to show them off (so would I if I had them!). At various points during the show she had to bend over (dropped something and so on). Every single time, at least one man wolf whistled. One man started and then others thought it was OK to join in.

I mean, really? They weren't sat near me or I would have said something. It pissed me right off. We were there to sing and dance to a bit of disco and grotty men insist on making their thoughts knoen about how attractive she is. As if anyone cares.

Most of the audience were 50+ which somehow made it even more grim.

Yuk just yuk.

I can choose what I get offended by, thank you. I really didn't need to know that my mate and her DH fancied a threesome with me. It was quite embarrassing and not something I wanted in my brain. If it had been the DH who had made a pass he'd would have been called all the names.

I'm not homophobic either.

I can see that. You appear to have a well-established pattern of taking offence on this thread alone.

I have not commented on your personal circumstances. The issue here is about overstepping boundaries by haranguing others - as in the Bextor gig and as frequently happens with men who can't hear 'no'. Doubtless some women ar equally persistent; equally so this doesn't tend to be a continual public problem. Hence the theme of men 'making a pass' on this thread varies around the themes of intrusiveness, an inability to respect boundaries and a refusal to hear the word 'no'.

I'm not homophobic either.

I interpret your posts differently. Not that I'm in any way 'offended'; all this is just pixels to me. But you don't hold a patent on the subject of offensiveness and your posts do reek of homo and biphobia.

@SerafinasGoose

Well I'm not. Think what you want. I don't care. You and your mate can carry on discussing the gentleness of ladies and all the men thugs.

I think this has gone way off topic, mostly due to @PuzzledPartridge who seems to want us all to know how she keeps getting the glad eye from all the women she knows and how happy she is with her husband. It’s derailing what is a very interesting thread.

Are we sure it is the glad eye and not just a squint? 😂
