OH snooping through girls Facebook profiles.

AIBU?
Ive recently learnt that my husband snoops through the profiles of young, attractive girls.
We are in our early 30’s and these girls are all around 18-20.
I feel uncomfortable with this and actually it’s really knocked me.
I’m just wondering if I’m being daft?
I know we all like a nosy on Facebook but there’s something a bit odd about what he’s doing. He doesn’t snoop through anyone else’s profile. Just young attractive girls.
If I reverse the roles - I can’t imagine doing it.
But this is coming from a place of insecurity as the relationship isn’t great so I just wanted to see if anyone else thought this was odd/worrying?

Yes, he's a pretty horrible human whenever things like this happen.
So i excuse it, because the rest of the time he would appear to be the perfect husband.
Their is no excuse because it's his choice. But yes i could accept that he's a bit of a perve as i suspect most men are, but he could at least just say sorry and try to appreciate my feelings.
We have history of him being a bit of a perve around girls - overtly staring at them when I'm with him and so it's a bit of a sore subject.
I find making judgements hard because I know that I'm quite sensitive.

Sod that he isn't even sorry! Tell him he is pathetic and that the girls he is looking at wouldn't want anything to do with him in a million years, then name drop some male celebs similar age to the girls and say they are the type of guys the girls would be interested in. Just so he knows what a dirty fool he is and hopefully kill any fantasy he has that they would be remotely interested in him.
It may sound harsh but I've had to do it recently when I caught my husband looking at pics of bikini girls on instagram and the dailymail, I pointed out to him that the types of guys these bikini girls would be interested in are the complete opposite of him!

@Bex0820 you really really just made me laugh, so thank you!!! :) It is VERY true. They would feel as sick as I do, I imagine.
I mean - what does that say about us though?
That we CLEARLY could do a lot better!! :)

Wink Glad I could cheer you up! Please do give him that reality check as it should hopefully put him in his place. I never thought I'd catch my husband being so silly (we've been together 16 yrs, both now in our early 30s) and I thought I knew him really well but this was a massive shock and upset me quite a bit. I felt harsh telling him the girls he was looking at wouldn't touch him with a barge pole but it seems to have done the trick.
