Quote From: sweetie928I am just curious and want to know what some of you think.
I was recently out to dinner with my new boyfriend, a very good friend of mine and her fiance. This was the very first time everyone had met eachother.
My girlfriend and her fiance were seated across from me and my boyfriend. While we were waiting to order, my girlfriends fiance blurts out, about our waitress, "I don't believe "those" are real", obviously referring to her breasts. So for the next 10 minutes the guys are checking out her breasts to determine whether or not they are real. AFter a few minutes of pondering, my boyfriend gives his opinion. Yup! they're real.
Now, then. I want all of you to know that I wasn't really uncomfortable, but felt it was a little tacky. I think I felt more uncomfortable for my girlfriend. I know boys will be boys, but IN FRONT OF US????? Puuuullleeeezzz! In hind sight, should I have looked at my girlfriend and said "How many inches do you think that guy over there is packing? 6 inches? 8 inches?
I also want you to know that after we left the restaurant, I never brought this up with my boyfriend.
Just curious as to what all of you think and how you would handle something like this down the road......in a graceful manner.
I think that you are right, that was very tacky!! I think the best way to handle this type of situation would be with some humor, your idea about making a gesture towards a man's crotch would be a funny way to deflect the situation.
I believe very, very strongly that when people say the phrase: "boys will be boys," that what they are really doing is making a lame excuse for rude and tacky behavior. I think that perhaps your friend's fiance was feeling as though he needed to prove his manhood to your boyfriend, or something (?)... whatever the reason, its definatly not good enough.
