An Australian comedian. He’s got a song called “The Potato Song”, which is about that same scenario.
Are you being willfully obtuse? I can’t imagine anyone seeing an invitation to a pool party from a neighbor that basically states (or suggests), “Please wear a thong so I can drool copiously over your bare ass” is going to think, “Wow, how flattering! I can’t wait to have my breasts talked to at HIS party!”
It IS possible to appreciate physical beauty without acting like a lech. Most people do it all the time. I suggest you look into it.
Moderator’s Notes: Easy folks. The Pit’s available if ya wanna growl at the OP, or anyone else.
Thanks.
Sorry, Unc.
No problem. I’m considering moving this to the Pit anyway. We’ll see . . .
No. Absolutely not. Not only do I not want to know whether or not they have Mod Thongs, I do not want to see them in them (or out of them…).
'cept maybe the distaff side…
Trust me, you bring up anything about dressing skimpy on the invite (or afterward, for that matter) the only women who’ll show up in the encourage attire are those you don’t want to see in a bikini or thong. Oh, and the ones who enjoy being leered at, who tend to be few and far between.
FTR, I’d go buy a thong bikini just especially for such an invite. Hopefully, the sight of my fat, dimpled, sagging ass and potbelly on full display will teach the leches a little discretion.
My suggestion is that this is a long-term thing. Develop a reputation for hosting a pool party a couple times a month, and over time you should be able to convince the ladies to show up, and not so much the rampaging horde o’ screaming kids.
I’m still trying to get my mind around the fact that you would WANT your neighbors in your pool. I must remind myself that not everyone has the same quality of neighbors I do. If I had a pool party for my neighbors, I’d fill the pool with lye soap and flea dip.
As for the skimpy bikinis, the only women I’ve ever seen wearing them in real life, had no business wearing them. “Dorky”, one-piece bathing suits with tummy-control panels, and built in boob-support are good thing.
We had a real pool. Just invite people to a BBQ, lots of beer & wine- ya know nice, then ask people if they want to go swimming. They won’t have any suits of course, so they won’t wear any. Works pretty well …
Hell, yeah and damn straight ! I wear ‘em all the time - even if I have to say it myself (and I do), I do look particularly stunning in my pink rhinestone two-piece.
Great for playing ‘Hunt the sausage’ in the deep end.
Handy, with your suave way with women, I find it amazing that you also find time to post to message boards with such speed and frequency.
You know, this is one of those things that I think reveals just how distorted our views on some things have become.
I’m 28. When I’m driving around, if I see a shapely behind or a really nice set of breasts in profile, I do a double take. Oft times, it seems after further viewing, that the owner of said attributes is younger than me, often by as much as 12 years. Do I immediatly swirve into a telephone pole for being a sick twist? Do I turn myself in for being a pedophile?
No, because I’ve done nothing wrong. Now if I were to follow the girl, or make arrangements to meet with a girl of simliar age, yes, I would be going over the line. But I’m not. I’m taking a moment to appreciate a female form… the highest of art.
My daughter is 7. In 10 years, I’m sure there will be times when she’s going to want to have some friends over. In the pool (assuming I have one) or just to “lay out”.
I will probably end up, at one point or another, seeing these girls. I will appreciate the forms, as appropriate, but I’m not going to go all “American Beauty” on them. Appreciation of a female body is all part and parcel of being a human male.
I don’t know if I would pull up a deck chair, but can understand the sentiment.
Me, the 13th Duke of Wimbourne, at a young women’s pool party?
Has no one thought of the consequences?
ooh god…
Nope. I think it just demonstrates how people can talk past each other, without anyone hearing what the other is saying.
Me too, only I’m 49, and sometimes the cutie is more than 30 years younger than me.
I’m with you here, too.
Exactly. And it’s ‘going over the line’ in similar ways that some posters in this thread have a problem with.
They’re not criticizing men who enjoy a beautiful woman when they happen to get an eyeful of one. It’s the excessive going-out-of-one’s-way that gives some of us the creeps.
It’s one thing to throw a pool party, and enjoy how the women look in their bathing suits. That’s normal. (As long as one doesn’t drool too obviously; that’s gross.) It’s another thing to try to game it to maximize the amount of skin one’s female guests display. That’s creepy.
It’s one thing, if one’s teenage daughter throws a pool party, to appreciate the incidental views of her friends. That’s normal. But pulling up a chair so you can ‘lifeguard’ as an excuse to ogle, or parking oneself next to the window overlooking the pool - that’s creepy.
There are a fair number of teenage girls in my neighborhood. It’s the time of year when there’s more of them to see, and I enjoy the views as I’m driving by, or cruising through the neighborhood on my bicycle. But I don’t go cruising just to ogle the girls, and when they’re shooting hoops at my next-door neighbor’s backboard, I don’t pull up a lawn chair near the property line to watch the game.
I’m an adult. I’ve seen plenty of naked women in my life, and plenty more who were wearing near the legal minimum. And I’m going to enjoy it when I see more of the same, because women are beautiful in countless ways, and I’ll never have my fill of feminine beauty.
But since I’m not a 13 year old boy, appreciating feminine charms for the first time, I shouldn’t need to gawk too blatantly, drool too obviously, or scheme to excess to create opportunities to see women I know wearing a little less than I otherwise might.
So I think we’re saying the same thing, or something not all that far removed. And so I just don’t understand what it is you’re objecting to.
Admit it: you’re just as curious as I am about whether the Mod Thongs (heh) actually have “Staff” embroidered on them… somewhere.
And here’s proof:
