Men need to be respectable

[DimondAngels]

Men Please learn a little respect when you see a couple
together and not act like a "dog" if the woman happens to
be beautiful.
This isn't high school anymore!
And for the man who complimented my wife's top right in
front of me this morning at Bradenton pickleball. Not cool! Please grow up.

I was not there but I got over my jealousy of my wife and now feel complimented when a man compliments my wife. That's compliment and not make comments like some ass. Which was it? Was it a true statement or an inappropriate comment.

How did you respond to him???

[ColdNoMore]

My wife gets that type of disrespectful and scumbag behavior all of the time, but I don't even bother to get involved anymore as she does an awesome job of very politely (and often unknowing/unrecognized by the guy)...emasculating them. :ho:

[MorTech]

Similar to Celebrities, a lot of Retirees are like high schoolers with money...and no Principle's Office :)

[graciegirl]

I don't understand the original post. Was she wearing a beautiful top?

Or did he say something about her bosoms? Is that what you meant?

[Topspinmo]

With all the high schoolers moving in, What do you expect! :DPersonally know matter where you go there are obnoxious rude people! In most cases it's the boys. I say boys cause they haven't grown up yet.

[NotGolfer]

Some "boys" have never had good up-bringing! They may have gotten away with rude/crude behavior and it just gets worse with age.

[DimondAngels]

I just want to make "some" men aware of their need to respect women and not to make unsolicited compliments to married women. Is that too much
to ask? I would never walk up to a strange woman and tell her that she looks sexy in that outfit.
Married couples will start thinking twice about moving to TV if this behavior continues.

I mean not ALL Villagers swing. Jeez. :D

I think you should put her in a Burka. She is obviously far too beautiful to be around so many men!!!!!:D

[Tweety Bird]

Maybe tell your wife to wear Amish garb. Was the guy drooling?

[Barefoot]

You won't be able to get a court at Bradenton pickle ball courts anymore.
Women are going to be lining up for compliments. :D

[manaboutown]

Respectable gentlemen are respectful of ladies.

I do not know the circumstances, what verbiage was utilized or its tone, the intent of the utterance or how she took it. What I do know is that physically attractive women get hit on constantly and learn to deal with it. They may not like, but they deal with it. A man married to a looker better get used to that fact of life and accept it or he will be in constant confrontations not only with other men but with his wife, significant other or lady friend. Such experiences just come with the territory. Get over it!

True dat.

My sainted mother said;

It's better to be looked over than overlooked.

You mean this one guy is going to destroy The Villages?
Oh my God....the sky is falling!

Yep, it's all about trust. Otherwise, let it go unless it's bothering your spouse.

[rivaridger1]

Fantasy, fantasy, fantasy on the part of husbands and the wives. I think we live in " The Villages ". I'd like to think we are generally about thirty years over nonsense of this nature, but evidently not. Someone is paying entirely too much attention to the national press's current fascination with men acting like stags in rut when they were thirty years old. We'd all like to go back, but this is not 1965.

[missypie]

Do not I repeat do not take your wife out in public in the villages, take her out in an under 55 neighborhood and I promise they won't give her a second look.

Btw, congrats on having a good looking wife. Many widowers would just like to have their wives back home in their loving arms.

[dewilson58]

Probably more effective to say something to the guy you're not happy with than post on ToTV.

Jus say'n.

When I only get one pickle on my cheeseburger, I talk to the manager of the establishment........not create a new thread.

:throwtomatoes:

[Nucky]

Look, sure I guess most men & women do. Speak to another women about her looks is a shot against her husband, the talkers wife and the person that your unsolicited compliment may bother. Times they are a changing.

I had a very close friend say to my wife if front of me first time he met her 25 years ago....."When are you expected to get your eyesight back"? Now that was funny and true because we knew what he meant.

High School is over. Respect is the name of the game nowadays. In my particular case Animal Magnetism is the problem. Not good looks. :1rotfl:

[EPutnam1863]

When people say to my husband that he has a trophy wife, we thank them.

[EPutnam1863]

At least Amish women don't have their hair done in clouds.

[Marathon Man]

Yea. I gotta say that coming on here with that original post seems a little insulting. And, that sort of jealousy seems to me like something out of 1950. Kinda like, "don't cuss in front of my wife".

[ColdNoMore]

Well OP, I think you have an idea now...where the immature & boorish behavior originates. :ohdear:

very few people will think twice because of that. It is likely not the first time this cad said something, but I'd bet it isn't wide spread. Most people here are considerate...name another place with this level of civility and I'll move there...

[Kenswing]

There's always three sides to every story. Having not been there it's hard to know exactly what transpired.

That being said, if someone unknown to me or my wife came up and said, you look nice in that top, we would probably just look at him sideways. If he came out and said something like, hey, nice rack. Or you look sexy in that top, we would definitely have words.

I know in NY catcalling is a sport. But I was raised a little different. Women get treated with manners and respect. If I see an attractive woman do I say to myself, "Wow she looks great"? sure I do. But there's no need for me to verbalize that to her or her husband.

But I would never come to a public forum to complain about it. No one can fight your battles but you.

I hope you mean to ALL women (and girls)--not just "married" women.

[graciegirl]

I remember my perfectly respectable and quite lovely Aunt who used to whisper to me that she enjoyed the occasional wolf whistle.

I understand respect, BUT I think sometimes we as a society have gone to extremes.

I KNOW why stadiums are full of people and why babies are born. Viva la difference.

This guy could have been a cad. If so I apologize to the OP.

A man is going to always "appreciate" a lovely woman or we are indeed in a mess.

A man should never be disrespectful to a woman, strike her or use her good looks against her. A woman should never be disrespectful to a man, strike him or use his good looks against him. People shouldn't USE sex to get what they want unless that is love and traditional happiness.

Good morning. It's a beautiful day in The Villages.

[ColdNoMore]

Well needed expansion on subject...and well stated! :thumbup:

[manaboutown]

From what I have heard from several very attractive women is that their greatest problem is being accepted into groups by other women who do not want "competition".

Are "Trophy Wives" accepted and treated well by other women in TV?
