I'm Horrified And Yet....

[Iamcazzy]

I've just been talking to my daughter who is in her mid twenties. The conversation was about boys trying their luck with girls of a similar age in pubs and clubs. Both my daughter and her best friend (female) are in steady relationship with male partners and the girls often go out "clubbing" together without their partners.
I asked her how she dealt with any unwanted approaches from men in these clubs and she told me that she merely tells these men that her and her best friend are "together". The unwanted male then promptly walks away.
I find this hilarious and effective from one angle, yet I know that if I said that in a club in my youth, I'd have been given a disapproving look and probably turfed out of there. I think that is what makes me horrified about it.
How times have changed!!

//I was never introduced to drugs or sex, when I look back I really led a sheltered life :0)//.

You missed out Bobbie. I must admit there were lots of drugs about, but I never took them. But I didn't live a sheltered life. I made the most of the fact that it was the swinging sixties / seventies.

It might have had something to do with my Methodist upbringing , my first alcoholic drink was when I was 19 , lol

I did exactly the same as your daughter in the 1980's. If anybody approached my friend and I and we weren't interested, I'd put my hand on her knee, or she would do the same to me!

I am so glad that your daughter and her friends are following in those footsteps.

I was in a nightclub a few years ago. Happened to be in the ladies loo, when a gaggle of females came in. One had been punched in the face because the bloke she'd been dancing with didn't like it when she told him that she would not be having sex with him that night!

Her friends were all pretty drunk, so I went and called the bouncers.

The girl passed out, concussed and I told the bouncers to please call an ambulance.

The ambulance arrived very quickly, surprisingly, and the poor girl was stretchered out.

She was a pretty, blonde girl.
I just hope that he didn't break her nose or do any other permanent damage.

I would, therefore, prefer that your daughter pretended to be a lesbian than have her face smashed in by a drunken lout.

My mum and Dad were very modern in there outlook, Bobbi. I was given a lot of freedom once I left school. When I started College at 17 I made the most of it!

One thing we didn't do back then was go out to get drunk, And females were far less aggressive and men generally more protective towards the opposite sex.

[ummmm]

I had hardly any rules but didn't have my first drink until my 18th. The next one was my 21st.

I was drinking at 17 in pubs, but not getting drunk. My friends were generally older than me, but I don't recall a lot of drunken behaviour. I must admit I am shocked at the behaviour of a lot of young girls these days. They don't seem to have any self respect.
