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.

Gah. *I hope

Allhallowspeeve · 26/10/2014 00:46

victim blaming at its best!

op lets not beat about the bush as you said - these are provocative girls being leered after by dirt little men .

it's all the girls fault ! Men raping, abusing, it's all the girls fault '

Seabright · 26/10/2014 00:47

I'm with Cabrinha - you are one very small step away from victim blaming here.

It's not those girls fault people are looking at them - they can dress how they want. And yes, we all might tut and eye-roll a bit, but they have the freedom to choose, without being blamed for a third party's behaviour.

wow! Your husband sounds like a complete knob but your lack of understanding in regards to women and clothing choice is freaking spectacular.

I wouldn't be with a man that spoke that way but then I don't assume a women wearing going out clothes is teasing boys.

DiaDuit · 26/10/2014 00:55

Eugh! You're as bad as him OP. not sure why youre so offended that he said what you were thinking.

RJnomore · 26/10/2014 01:03

Fuck me you are both well suited.

I pray you never produce a child, female or otherwise, to pass your shitty viewpoint onto.

Tease - vulgar - feminine - wow. Almost a full bingo card in your last post.

Oh and yes your do is a knob. And a sleaze. And no they aren't having sex younger. It's jus the gap between his age and th age he is leering at isn't getting bigger.

neiljames77 · 26/10/2014 01:06

So because I suggest he probably likes staring at younger women and might be going through some mid -life crisis, I get told to fuck off?

Exactly, because leering is the same as raping, don't you know.

Seriously??? am i the only person here that thinks a 16 year old going out in a bra top, showing a cleavage and mini that barely covers her backside is tacky and inappropriate?

it's all the girls fault ! Men raping, abusing, it's all the girls fault.
all hallow - that's a step too far. I never implied that and you are twisting what I'm saying with that comment. I think it's inappropriate and purposefully gains sleezy thinking/comments. Which obviously is my point in that my dp noticed and commented Which I'm upset about. That's was my original post. But as it has become a personal attack on me now implying that I am either a prude or as bad I fail to see. I'm stating that dressing up going out doesn't need to involve being half naked!

Yep

neiljames77 · 26/10/2014 01:27

I have 2 teenage daughters and I wouldn't like them going out in a bra and a skirt that looks more like a belt.
I understand that statistics show that attire doesn't dictate whether some lunatic would attack them or not. I also understand that it's not my place to dictate what they should wear.
I'd voice my concern because I'd rather not play Russian roulette with the safety of my children and I make no apologies for that point of view, however politically incorrect it is.

DiaDuit · 26/10/2014 01:28

So either the girls are to blame for men looking and commenting in which case why be upset at your DP who had no choice but to look

Or

Your DP is a sleaze but only because he actually said out loud what you think is perfectly acceptable for him to think.

MrsChnandlerBong · 26/10/2014 01:28

Tacky and inappropriate are really stupid words to use to describe a group of young women heading off to a party. They can wear what the hell they like. If menz can't manage to not gawp at legs or a midriff or some cleavage then I worry how they'd cope on a beach. Sick as fuck borderline victim blaming.

typingtoofast · 26/10/2014 01:41

Neil j. value your input here and being male you have a more level thinking without putting words in my mouth. I'm amazed so many mothers here have no issue with their daughters heading out wearing provocative clothing. I will give my daughter the freedom to wear what she likes but hopefully by then she'll have an idea of enjoying herself, wearing something she's comfortable in and keeping somehting to the imagination.

Pretty sure you are being told to fuck off for implying rich men can buy young women, although I might be wrong. "It's a matter of taste I suppose. Maybe he's having a crisis and realises his youth has well and truly gone, along with his chances of ever pulling a young woman unless he becomes very wealthy." stands out in a sea of terrible posts in more ways than I can tell you, and you should honestly shut up now.

am i the only person here that thinks a 16 year old going out in a bra top, showing a cleavage and mini that barely covers her backside is tacky and inappropriate? tacky and inappropriate for what?

What the FUCK is 'provocative' clothing? Are you an off duty MRA or just super thick??

DirtyOldTown · 26/10/2014 01:47

Oh but Neil thinks that sleazy old men can pull young women if they are wealthy enough. 'Coz chicks are like that, right? They can put up with any old leering twat if he has enough cash. If that the kind of 'level thinking' you were after, OP?
