I've always wondered about this... Why no one ever says anything... it's just so accepted.

It's quite common and VERY acceptable for women to dream of and desire "Tall, Dark and Handsome."

A lot of women talk very openly about how their man has to be a certain height or he just doesn't have a hope in hell. It's called their "preference".

While if a man dreams and and desires "Hot, Young and Sexy" he's a sexist pig who objectifies women.

What is the difference?

Why is it so acceptable for women to objectify men in our society?

You don't mind being treated like a piece of meat darling? To be just seen as a shinny bobble to be acessorized with...reached for over & over again like a good old pair of sneakers? I'm sorry, some how I was comparing men to my shoe collections:D Mr Green, it's nice to see you again BTW:)

I stand firmly by my previous post......somebody.....anybody please objectify me;)

Nice to see you again as well Ms Green

Double standards?
Same way as if... a girl is known for sleeping around with men, she is known as a slut and gossiped about by other women. Yet a man that sleeps around with other women is regarded as a stud and idolized by other men.

I don't exactly see "Tall, Dark, Handsome" or "Hot, Young, Sexy" as objectification, but that may be just I.

Whether or not I find something acceptable is entirely up to me; I don't really care what the rest of the society think is acceptable or unacceptable. They can do whatever they want as long as they don't try to convert me.

Yes that's a double standard, but you have to remember being a male slut usually involves effort, money, luck, qualities that women find attractive, etc. If you're a woman, you can be ugly as sin and get laid every night if you want.

Being a guy who just happens to be Tall, Dark and Handsome...I'm all for it!

Turnabout is fair play after all, just look behind the counter at any convenience store, or google the word slut and you'll see plenty of examples of women being objectified. There may even be an example or two...or 6,000...on this very site!

What goes around comes around...we did it first, they just do it better.

The answer is that our society has double standards and contradictory ideologies.

It's acceptable for women to treat men like pieces of meat, but not for men to do the same.

It's acceptable, and even encouraged, for a 40 year old woman to date a 20 year old man. But when a 40 year old man dates a 20 year old woman, then he's a pervert.

Female sexuality is seen as gentle and safe (in our society, not in my opinion), whereas male sexuality is seen as aggressive and dangerous and corrupting (again, not my opinion, but the way society treats it).

Double standards.

Women objectifying men and men doing the same.
Hmmm, sounds to me like people, for the most part are normal after all. :)

Run for prime minister, you've got my vote right now.
This is the way it is folks and the best god damn thing I've seen
written on this board. People who fall into "societal" media drenched
bullshit need their friggin heads examined.

Oh ye of little faith for the exceptable singular mind of free thought
choosing how you want to think. Remember democracy and freedom
of speech and thought?? HUH?.......well do ya???
Or is that anarchy in todays society? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Another words............
Whatever happened to thinking for yourself???
After all this is NOT communist russia. Or at least I'd like to think so
like SE has so clearly stated.

BRAVO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The question is, "Why is it so acceptable for women to objectify men?".

Well, who cares about fairness. Between peoples, there is no fairness. Life is inherently unfair that way.

But life is fair in this way: what you sew you will reap.

Let's look at who is being objectified:
The Tall Dark and Handsome man - a lot of girls want him. In turn, he has the opportunity to sleep with lots of girls. If you're dating him, you better watch out. If things aren't going so well, there's always going to be some other girl waiting in the wings ready to fuck him, and most people given the temptation won't be able to resist. Especially a man with that much opportunity.

The Wealthy man - lots of girls want him (and his money). He's figured out that not only can pussy be rented for an hour at a time, but he can also buy the love of some girls. In fact, if you're with him, chances are he'll be tempted to buy the love of a younger girl when you become old (and ugly). Why would he do it? Because money is power, and most men can't resist the temptation to exercise it. Besides, he felt powerful when he won you over with money, and it'll be an opportunity to feel that very same way again with a younger chick.

The Beautiful Blonde girl with the Big Tits - lots of guys want her. But she's crass and shallow. Why? Because she knows she can snap the neck of guys just by walking down the street. If you're dating her, watch out. She'll have trouble resisting that feeling of being wanted by someone else, as soon as your relationship hits mildly rocky times. Why not? It was so easy to pick you up with her beauty, why not pick up a new one when things get a little tough?

The Fresh Young Pretty girl who's a bit Naive - lots of guys want her. Why? Cuz they're sick and tired of having to deal with a woman their own age, who has real needs and makes real demands of him as any mature woman would. But if you decide to date that pretty young thing, watch out. She'll realize you're old and as soon as she finds a younger one to match your wealth, she won't mind trading in your experience for his youth, excitement, and better body.

The thing is, who cares about those who are doing the objectifying? If you objectify, you're attracted to the very same shallow qualities everybody else is attracted to, so you're really no further ahead. In the end, if all you appreciate is those things, you're not appreciating the things that could bring you real happiness. The one doing the objectifying is the one who will miss out on a lot. That is reaping what you sew.
You get 10 out 10 on this one.The balance of life.

respect...

I had a ton of fun with friends on the weekend and ended up playing with a hot couple I've known for a while.

They were discussing my breasts, my hair, skin, mouth etc, right in front of me without including me in the conversation. Talking about me like I was a piece of tasty meat...

I LOVED it.
Yes BUT, that's different isn't it??? I mean they know you and respect you. I think its all about respect. As long as you respect the person, you CAN have a little fun with words, body language etc.

Take this board, there are those that don't respect you ladies and it shows in the posts, they are the users and their comments are considered degrading.

And yet there are others who respect you and they can tease a little and everyone has fun.

Ok pack your bags, we're going on a guilt trip, Ladies and Pooners. Hahaha, I wonder if this is some sort of veiled poke at my earlier statements on attraction to tall men? :D
No.


That's the point, it's entirely rhetorical.
