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.

Strange that you have come to a predominantly female forum to discuss this problem in your 'relationship' given your belief that male thinking is more 'level', though.

neiljames77 · 26/10/2014 01:56

So wealthy old men never go after and get involved with much younger women simply because of their bank balance?
Hmmm, perhaps everyone who doesn't have the same opinion as you should just shut up eh?
I suspect a lot of women have left this forum because they feel that they can't speak their mind or have an opinion without being rounded upon and ridiculed.
I dare say I'll be reported and banned now.
Everyone is different and we all have different opinions on lots of matters.
Can't you just accept that without resorting to insults and profanities?

ArsenicChaseScream · 26/10/2014 01:56

It's always the ones that seem superficially sensible and literate and then reveal themselves to be terminally hard of thinking that are the shockers isn't it Bong?

DirtyOldTown · 26/10/2014 01:57

"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."

From Neil's first post on this thread.

You're welcome.

yeh arsenic, i'm shocked that so many women would see nothing wrong with a 16 year old female wearing something so 'provocative' walkingdown the street and parading herself. which is what she was doing. Being on a beach is totally different. I just don't think at this age they have the maturity yet to realise.

Well quite, they are experimenting. With clothes and fashion and their own attractiveness. Which is different from what you so charmingly said upthread;

the clothing or lack of was revealing and why would they wear such clothing only to gain attention. Let's not beat around the bush. And yes their behaviour as they walked along was that of young girls wanting to be noticed and revealing an ample cleavage would tease a hormonally charged boy! How can you not realise that it's inappropriate to wear something like this if not to gain attention and the wrong attention at that.

Now run along and discuss it with the level-thinking Menz, my fluffly little head is getting muddled with all this tiring thinking

I'll get all confused and accidentally put words in your mouth before I know where I am. Silly me

MrsChnandlerBong · 26/10/2014 01:03

Arsenic, it must be that online dictionaries are clearly too easy to stumble across in your searches these days. All those big words like misogyny and sexism just aren't out there enough.

I despair sometimes, I honestly do.

I honestly despair sometimes.

MrsChnandlerBong · 26/10/2014 01:05

So much so I said it twice Smile

ArsenicChaseScream · 26/10/2014 01:07

Double despair is warranted TBH Wink

MrsChnandlerBong · 26/10/2014 01:07

I'm curious. How does one 'parade' oneself? Is there an actual parade? A band maybe? If so, I've been doing it allll wrong.

justiceofthePeas · 26/10/2014 01:07

He sounds like he was a twat before (selfish)
And a twat now (sleazy)
He was being inappropriate (not their clothing unless you take the weather into account)

But what is your issue with what he said? That it disrespects you or that it disrespects the young women? Or that he didn't agree with your moral outrage and tut tut along.
And I am afraid the more you suggest your dd dressing comfortably, the shorter her skirts will get. It was ever thusWink

I would understand your issue if they were 10. The let kids be kids issue and not oversexualising kids at a young age.

but at 16 they are old enough to dress how they want and it really isn't any of your business.

ArsenicChaseScream · 26/10/2014 01:10

Brass, I should imagine.

Probably playing 'Stand by your my man'. Which is what I imagine OP will be doing, now that she's convinced herself the children made her sleazebag darling partner perve over them, against his will.

I LOVE a happy ending

justiceofthePeas · 26/10/2014 01:11

And tbh sometimes the sight of a well turned bicep on a fully grown man is enough to tease this hormonally charged middle aged woman Blushbut I don't think men should be obliged to wear long sleeves just so I don't lose control of myself.

MrsChnandlerBong · 26/10/2014 01:13

Yeah they are such total sluts those carefree teen women off to their Halloween do all dressed up. Bloody tramps the lot of 'em.

MrsChnandlerBong · 26/10/2014 01:15

I must admit I had to contain a WOOP WOOP LOOK AT THE FOREARMS ON THAAAAAT today whilst I was out jogging with the dog. Oh, no, hang on, I didn't...

ArsenicChaseScream · 26/10/2014 01:15

There's no reason why you should have to control yourself Justice. Blaming other people for your actions is so much easier.

I'm curious. How does one 'parade' oneself? Is there an actual parade? A band maybe? If so, I've been doing it allll wrong.
I'm sure there's no fear of you doing it wrong. You sound like a one man band all by yourself. or one woman band before i'm slated for sexism there.

Nothing further to add. I realise that a) my partner has become a sleazy middle aged man. b) i'm old fashioned in my thinking of what's appropriate for young girls to wear c) on mn if you voice your opinion that be prepared to be hung drawn and quartered for it.
Thanks ladies.

I tell ya, next time I jog past a group of teen lads it's gonna be tough not to remark on their carefree unlined faces, their pants hanging out of their pants, the SLAGS, their casual glancing around. They are so asking for me to give them the backwards jog double guns. The provocative little feckers.

MrsChnandlerBong · 26/10/2014 01:24

Y'see....I read "ladies" and I see MRA.....

MrsChnandlerBong · 26/10/2014 01:39

Always a bong Grin

MrsChnandlerBong · 26/10/2014 01:42

I thought calling women patronising belittling names was something bored MRAs did? No? Oh well I'll immediately pop down my lambrini and listen. All ears sweetie. Educate me riiiiiiiight up. Mmm hmm.

DirtyOldTown · 26/10/2014 01:42

Good grief, you'll be calling us 'bitches' next. By the way, being all outraged and misunderstood has done wonders for your spelling and grammar. So it hasn't all been a waste of time, eh?

MrsChnandlerBong · 26/10/2014 01:46

Oh ffs DirtyOldTown you're such a BITCH.
