oogling young girls

Myself and my partner have decided to give it another try. He is convinced im the woman for him and has apologised for his regular selfish episodes where I have to explain to him that his behaviour is not condusive to a healthy relationship. Ultimately he's selfish. But he has improved and I have seen a loving, attentive and kind man. I was beginning to think that this was a great new start for our relationship and was glad to give it another shot as had missed him when I decided to end it. The break gave me and him perspective and what was important to us both. All that aside.
We were out today in town and a group of young girls (16yr olds I'd say)were obviously heading off on a halloween party night. I had mentioned how inappropriate I thought the outfits were as they were extreamely revealing. You get the picture. In my mind I'm also thinking how they will catch their death of cold!
He views the girls and says they're out for a good night and laughs. He almost snapped his neck gawping. Now nobody could help it as the outfits as i said were ott. But then he replies they'll be teasing the boys later in the nightclub. I reply yes and that's just wrong.
I have in hay days worn revealing outfits and I replied that I wasn't necessarily looking for sex I was I suppose just rebelling and trying to be adult like.
He replied but kids these days are having sex younger, just look at them,look at the one in the tiny outfit. She'll be having sex tonight with the way she's carrying on.
I told him that's enough, that he looked like a sleezy man oogling.
He replied oh to be back that age again. I'd love to meet her out. Imagine the fun.
I was appalled by two things. One him visioning and two saying it in front of me.
Is this normal? I was disgusted and chose to say nothing for the rest of the evening. But then I think what if middle aged men say these things in their head. He's stupid/honest enough to say it out to me.
Now I'm thinking I am with a sleezy middle aged man and worries me that he would think like that.

Another 'wrong impression' this time from the op, what are these wrong impressions that you speak of?

Do you mean 'the impression that they'd like to me forced to have sex against their will'? Confused

You can be turned on, attracted, think whatever you like. It might be vile but we aren't in an Orwell book. Even an advance (within reason, obviously not to a young girl from a sleazy old git...) is fine if no is taken as an answer. This is normal. It's the step into uninvited comment, attention or worse, that crosses a line. And anyone suggesting that even 'provocative' clothing means attracted men, so therefore somehow inevitably there must be unwelcome attention is really looking in the wrong direction, OP. It's insulting to decent men and really terrifying about women. Or girls, in this case. I'm not vilifying you but do you see this predicament?

So what if she is being provocative? So what if her clothing is seen as such? Then what?

(I am, though, glad to see you back on this thread.)

cloggal · 26/10/2014 20:00

Agree AF. Succinct as ever but bang on.

HappyHalloweenMotherFucker · 26/10/2014 20:05

Op has joined her partner in reducing 16yo girls to "breasts and ass"

That is very uncomfortable to read

ArsenicChaseScream · 26/10/2014 20:14

OP has been saying pretty much the same thing all along, but if 'reading both sides' of this long thread haven't budged her an inch, quite possibly nothing will Sad

HappyHalloweenMotherFucker · 26/10/2014 20:15

Indeed

A lost cause, perhaps

Those two deserve to have a long and happy life together

YesIDidMeanToBeSoWoooooooode · 26/10/2014 20:21

Your thoughts are quite succinctly summed up in your comment "can invite unwelcome advances".

Also known as "asking for it" also known as "she brought it upon herself" also known as "well she gave that impression..."

Also known as rape apologist and victim blaming.

cloggal · 26/10/2014 20:23

I also find the juxtaposition of the breastfeeding mother (good) with the young girl being appraised (bad) really awful. I'm trying to give the OP benefit of the doubt, persuade her even, but it's really not on.

YesIDidMeanToBeSoWoooooooode · 26/10/2014 20:24

But then what do you expect from someone who defends their DP being sexually turned on by a teenage girl.

I would like to think you're trolling for kicks and if you're not, you're a fucking disgrace and complicit in the abuse of women from people like your "d"p.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

cloggal · 26/10/2014 20:27

You're right yesidid. If you get deleted given some of the shite on this thread it's a joke.

CrotchMaven · 26/10/2014 20:29

There's a reet lot of man hating on this thread. And from men, too!

HappyHalloweenMotherFucker · 26/10/2014 20:31

Man hating ? Could you explain, crotch ?

cloggal · 26/10/2014 20:32

Where, Crotch? Only man hating I see is where people are peddling myths about how men are inevitably going to be fucking arseholes or even harm women when aroused. To me that's man hating.

CrotchMaven · 26/10/2014 20:34

I know. That's what I mean. That men are such slaves to their cock twitches that they'll become rapists. Why feminists get called man haters when non - feminists speak like that, I have no idea.

HappyHalloweenMotherFucker · 26/10/2014 20:35

Ah, I get it < phew > Halloween Grin

cloggal · 26/10/2014 20:36

Had assumed hoped you meant that Crotch.
Bewildering.

CrotchMaven · 26/10/2014 20:50

This shit fucks me right off. Feminists are accused of being man hating and seeing rapists everywhere. It's not us that think that! It's all the rest of the rape myth spouting folk out there that do that.

HappyHalloweenMotherFucker · 26/10/2014 20:52

Totally agree

HappyHalloweenMotherFucker · 26/10/2014 20:52

Sorry for having a little wobble there. I knew you were a Good Egg, hence my confusion Halloween Smile

CrotchMaven · 26/10/2014 21:02

And then you get Neil telling us what his mates are like, giving us a first hand account of the misogyny of some males in a pack, yet when we shine a spotlight of our own on male pack behaviour, we get "not all men are like that" from ... Neil. You can't have it both ways! (you're not alone, Neil, this is a general rant, but you gave me the material on this thread and others you've been on).

Think harder. Because a lot of you aren't trying hard enough. There's a very large gap between dressing to be attractive and being penetrated when you don't want to be. And the link that you think is there is both not real and suggests that you have an appalling view of men in general.

CrotchMaven · 26/10/2014 21:03

No worries, AF. Made me smileGrin

HappyHalloweenMotherFucker · 26/10/2014 21:07

it has been a tad confusing on this thread

some posters who I have immense respect for have given me a wobble too

oh well

cloggal · 26/10/2014 21:13

It's been a thread that's had me reaching for the Wine.

Sad stuff. When you've got posters bravely sharing experiences to give a bit of fucking perspective and the answer is essentially 'but when men are aroused everything goes out the window', I despair. I reported dadwood's post at first but I'm glad he stayed and that it stood. Good to actually see someone listening.

crispandfruity · 26/10/2014 21:14

I've got a 17 year old daughter and yes, sometimes she likes wearing 'revealing' clothing and she looks beautiful.

Interestingly the most hassle she has got from leery horrid men was when she was in school uniform. Go figure.

HappyHalloweenMotherFucker · 26/10/2014 23:02

Gosh, what a coincidence. There was a thread bumped just today that had this post on it...

AnyPhantomFucker Fri 14-Oct-11 16:33:28

What I think about these "men only" events is that it is one great big homo-erotic fest

Any excuse to look at other men having sex Smile
