Off limits to admire or not?

Nah. With both hands on the pram handle, it makes the bum wiggle in a very attractive way......

lulumama · 16/09/2007 15:12

so you cannot fancy a mother?

I always assumed that prams were kiss of death to one's sexual attractiveness. I also think men with prams look frumpy.

Has anyone noticed that men often do a one-handed push when out with a pram? What is that all about?

kindersurprise · 16/09/2007 16:15

Men, would you wanta man pram?

that is farking ridiculous !!

kindersurprise · 16/09/2007 16:33

Really awful actually, now that I have had a good look. What is wrong with actually looking at and talking to baby? The idea of Dad going out for a stroll with baby is a bit spoiled by the fact that he will be surfing the net at the same time.

I WISH some bloke would admire me!

I think it has an almost perfect antithetical effect to having leather trousers on and a crash helmet under your arm.

Having gone from one extreme to the other over the course of a year, it was very noticeable.

I have contemplated getting a sign to hang on the pram saying 'Yes I have a baby and yes I am single, Please ask me out if you like!'

But somehow it would seem a bit wrong.

Conversely, dd is such a babe-magnet when I am out with her..

MrsBadger · 16/09/2007 17:16

I was whistled at by men mending the road when I was out with the pram last week.
I hadn't been whistled at since 1998

I think Pan must be right, it's the pram-pushers bum wiggle...

MarshaBrady · 16/09/2007 17:18

Wierdly I find the opposite occurs when I'm pushing ds in the pram. God knows, seems to buck a trend about the invisibility thing though.

So agree with the man one-handed pram pushing thing, see it often lol.

MarshaBrady · 16/09/2007 17:20

That wasn't very clear, I mean I get noticed more with pram less etc etc

TheBlonde · 16/09/2007 17:21

Last week as I was pushing a pram with 2 children a bloke stopped his car to give me his number
maybe I look like a nanny

MarshaBrady · 16/09/2007 17:23

I mean 'not less'

oh gawd....
ds asleep on lap hard to type

kitsandbits · 16/09/2007 17:24

I only ever get old men in sportscars beeping me! lol

One pulled over and winked at me last week with my 2 babies in tow!- it only ever happens when Ive got the buggy too.

Its the only attention I get other than these 3 Jamican guys in the corner house who say 'hello pretty white girl' to me everytime i go past

MrsBadger · 16/09/2007 17:32

actually thinking back it may have been the pre-pg shirt straining over my bf norks

that'd do it

Baby sick in my hair probably doesn't help..

NadineBaggott · 16/09/2007 18:50

how do you know the woman pram pusher is the mother?

Peachy · 16/09/2007 18:53

Dh used to love taking ds1 out in the pram because of the female attention ds got- one shopa ssistant (saturday girl, about 16) even gave dh her phone number and asked us to pass it on to DS1 in 16 years time....

Freak

newgirl · 16/09/2007 18:54

MrsBadger · 16/09/2007 18:55

[new avenues of humiliation open up and swallow MrsB]

newgirl · 16/09/2007 19:00
