Men are just naive waifs wandering about the world, wide-eyed and innocent and all these con artists and salespeople try to take advantage of it. Here is an anecdote with a typical show of abuse.

It is everywhere. And you know what makes us men feel real bad about all this appeal to our innocent masculine sexuality for the almighty dollar? When our girlfriend catches us looking at the billboard and starts giving us no end of shit about objectifying women, blah, blah, blah, blah like we don’t know that women don’t really look like that outside a photoshoot with 3 hours in make up and two days in photoshop. That we are just being manipulated to yackity, yackity, yackity, yak.

Seeing pretty girls is one of the most wonderful pleasures in a man’s life. On a bad day, it might be the only one.
