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.

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?
You're right dirty I have had a education tonight on mn.

(S)he managed 'facetious' I just nipped back hoping for 'girls' Smile

ArsenicChaseScream · 26/10/2014 01:58

Not found any men to talk levelly at you yet OP?

Do you want us to lower our typing voices and be commanding?

emotionsecho · 26/10/2014 01:59

Yes amazing improvement on the spelling and grammar front, facetious is so much easier to spell than ogling isn't it, pity the content and opinion couldn't do the same.

typingtoofast · 26/10/2014 02:02

arsenic, why would you write s(he). I have noticed before here if a woman doesn't agree with the majority of female bra burning gangs and their opinions that you would assume I'm male?

OP posts:
ArsenicChaseScream · 26/10/2014 02:06

Is that what you think you've noticed OP? Really?

neiljames77 · 26/10/2014 02:08

Everybody has a right to their opinion as much as they have a right to a choice of lifestyle etc. Disagree with it by all means but I don't see why it should be seen as a green light to some to throw insults,patronising comments, ridicule and sarcasm. Then pat each other on the back.
They're her opinions. What do you hope to achieve? That she puts his clothes in binbags and throws them out of the door followed by him?
Or is it just an exercise in picking on someone for not sharing your views?

emotionsecho · 26/10/2014 02:09

Are there male bra burning gangs, OP?

ArsenicChaseScream · 26/10/2014 02:11

neil up until the moment OP said;

being male you have a more level thinking without putting words in my mouth

...things were pretty civil. She abandoned civility (and credibility, given where we are) herself.

As are you, by playing dumb.

emotionsecho · 26/10/2014 02:15

The OP asked for advice and opinions, niel.

typingtoofast · 26/10/2014 02:18

arsenic the reason I wrote that was because of all the personal attacks, the black and white attitudes of some and the twisting of what I was actually saying. neil gave opinion without personal attack. Which on a forum is how people should conduct themselves.

typingtoofast · 26/10/2014 02:19

Yes i asked opinion and advice. I did not ask for insults or name calling or being put down for my own thoughts.

neiljames77 · 26/10/2014 02:24

I'm not playing dumb Arsenic. (I could be leading myself into a trap saying that!!! Cue the comments, "so you really ARE dumb)

It's just that I've seen different opinions and lifestyle choices on here get expressed, then savaged.
I remember a woman posting on here that she was happy being a 1950's style housewife, cooking, cleaning., ironing and making sure hubby's tea was on the table when he got home.
Some of the comments made towards her were horrific but it was HER choice.

emotionsecho · 26/10/2014 02:27

Your thoughts/opinions were challenged and debated as is the norm on a chat forum, you took umbrage, became defensive and ignored all opinions and advice that didn't chime with your own views.

MrsChnandlerBong · 26/10/2014 02:31

Nobody personally attacked you until you spouted misogynist crap you twit.

neiljames77 · 26/10/2014 02:32

It looked more like she was being ridiculed and rounded upon to me, emotionsecho.

MrsChnandlerBong · 26/10/2014 02:35

The benefit of lifelong patriarchy helping you out there then neiljames

neiljames77 · 26/10/2014 02:37

No. I just don't like seeing people being picked on for having a different opinion or different anything.

typingtoofast · 26/10/2014 02:38

emotion. i did not take umbrage to anything. I was discussing and trying to make my point. I felt very much like there was a cart and everyone jumped on it and then some.
I took on board the comments and it made me think. But there were two issues here being discussed. The latter being inappropriate dressing. I stand my ground on that one. Should anyone want to debate then great. But i don't deserve to be called names for my opinion on that.
and bong has just proved it again. She doesn't agree with my point so is name calling. i don't get it. why would i take onboard anyones point if they have to resort to that? it doesn't make me respect her opinion one bit.

Smile

Saying that one is personally happy being a self-described '1950's sty;e housewife' (didn't see that thread myself) and castig unsavoury 'jailbait' type aspersions on 16 year olds for their experimental teen clothing choices are two very different things. OP was getting a Hmm response for the latter for good reason but that is all she was getting.

As I say she upped the ante with the remark about men being superior thinkers and later idiotic comments and there really is no way back from that. It's a mainly female site FGS. She wasn't obliged to dig deeper and deeper into misogyny because she didn't like the responses she was getting.

ArsenicChaseScream · 26/10/2014 02:40

Exactly that.

ArsenicChaseScream · 26/10/2014 02:43

I felt very much like there was a cart and everyone jumped on it and then some.

Yes that it feels like to be the OP with an unpopular view. I've been there, done that. I don't remember an irresistible urge to spout misogynistic bolleux though Hmm

typingtoofast · 26/10/2014 02:49

Ah here come on arsenic, i was shocked that every woman here felt it was ok for a young girl to have her ass and boobs hanging out and it ok and acceptable. I don't think so. But that's my opinion. So yeh the one person and he a man at that, gave a response without putting me down. I'm not saying that men have a superior thinker only that he rationally responded without flying off the handle!

You have spouted your fair share of bolleux too i'm sure Arsenic so calm down.

OP posts:
ArsenicChaseScream · 26/10/2014 02:55

I'm not worked up, I'm highly amused.

So neil responded rationally, in your view? And such a good judge of rationality are you that you immediately attributed his allegedly superior thinking to gender? Aha.

And then treated us to such a string of unintelligent posts that you've made yourself sound a complete idiot or potential MRA. Great work OP Smile
