Men: how do you feel about being objectified?

Hey, my eyes are up here! Up here!

Not that it’s happened often, but I definitely don’t like it. If you’re bored and just looking for an erect weiner, look elsewhere.

I had some funny moments today that had me thinking along these lines. I was doing flower deliveries and noticed office women breaking their necks to look at whatever arrangement I had in my hand. Same for passing women in hallways—they look in my direction, we exchange smiles and all the while they’re checking out my flowers.

I agree with @bob_. Make me a good sammach and we’ll talk. ;)

I love it when women want me for my brain.

Actually being objectified leads to shallow relationships with no staying power.

I don’t mind people being sexually attracted to me for superficial reasons, but I also have very little to lose from it. I don’t exist under societal conditions where I am likely to lose standing or be treated with disrespect just because I am being objectified by one person. It’s easy for me not to mind.

That said, I wouldn’t pursue a relationship with such a person and someone who was interested in me only for my ancillary features would hold no special allure. Maybe it would be worth taking advantage of for a one-night stand—were I not already in a relationship, that is—but certainly not for much longer. I am not categorically opposed to encounters that are superficial on both sides, but I do find their appeal to be rather limited.

Nope it hasn’t bothered me in the past & I doubt it will in the future, I’m a single guy & I’m not looking for any kind of long term commitment….. So I don’t mind being “objectified”. It doesn’t necessarily lead to an sort of romantic conclusion but some very interesting situations :-/
If there’s a leaking tap or broken down washing machine a loose tile that needs replacing, or even a spot of car trouble or any other, dare I say it “manly tasks” that need attention I’m always happy to help… I get a lot of calls, especially the weekends for some reason…….

My mate hit the nail on the head a while back, he said it’s your tool box they’re after, not you! :-/
I think he’s right…. Lol…........

It never bothered me one bit and always found it flattering recognition of my efforts to work hard and be presentable.

Some of the most famous men are objectified on a daily basis. You can read about them in the newspaper under “Sports”. We know not (nor care) “what kind of person he is” and how he treats his wife and children, but how’s his hitting? What’s his ERA? Passer rating? Points per game? How quick can he do the 40? How’s his ankle holding up, or his knee?

Even Stephen Hawking, who everyone knows is not an athlete, but admires for his ‘big brain’. What’s he really like? Does anyone outside of his circle of friends and family know… or care?

It would be cool and maybe a short ego boost but otherwise inconsequential, after all I’m married.

It’s happened a few times, and it actually does freak me out or make me a little uncomfortable.

You’re going to objectify me?????

I’ll try anything once.

Well, the irony would at least be amusing.

I don’t care for it at all. It’s creepy.

I like it very briefly and then feel quite uncomfortable.
