I think there's a certain stigma associated with working at Hooters. Hooters girls don't get much respect, and pretty much get laughed at by their friends. Plus the food's cheap, so they can make the same tips at a regular restaurant, without all the drunk horny guys. Remember how much fun they made of Hooters in Big Daddy?
Right, and then you threw a hissy fit. "ooooo you're desperate and blah blah blah." Is every thread meant to be serious? Why don't you just be quiet and stop taking stuff so seriously. Sheesh.
Do crooks have a right to break into your car and take your CD player just because you don't lock it? You are essentially saying, "We men are so controlled by our libido, we simply can't help but ogle women in clothing that accentuates their figure." If that is the case, why do men keep saying that women are the "emotional" one's? Sounds like we are the one's who can't control ourselves. The problem isn't what people wear or even men staring. The problem is that we use looks to define success, attractiveness and even verility in both genders. What if you were denied a job because you didn't look good enough? What if you were given a job ONLY because you DID look good? This isn't about what people should expect. This is about doing right by someone. How would you feel if it was your 16-year-old daughter getting ogled or your mother or your wife? It is up to us as men to set a higher standard for ourselves. If women choose to WANT to be ogled, there are plenty of men who will oblige. Just because they do it doesn't make it the right thing to do.
hooters off mangum sucks big goat balls! last friday i went to have lunch there with my boyfriend and there wasnt any parking so we parked in the parking lot nexted to hooters and we got towed! we had to walk our butts to the place they towed it to that was a hella far away. not cool at all.
Do crooks have a right to break into your car and take your CD player just because you don't lock it? You're comparing looking at someone to breaking into a car?
Look... I'm not defending the actions of men and staring... However, if you KNOW beforehand that men will stare at you when you dress in skimpy outfits and you STILL choose to wear them... then I feel that the girl has no right to complain... I'm not saying its right, but that's the way it is... hey some women may like being ogled, that's their business... but if you're female, don't like being ogled, choose to wear skimpy clothes KNOWING you will be ogled, then you can't complain about it... because you KNOW its going to happen hey, i wish we lived in a perfect society where this didn't happen and women weren't disrespected in this manner... BUT UNFORTUNATELY, WE DON'T!! as to the CD player/car analogy... apples and oranges my friend... theft is against the written law, it is an illegal action... ogling a woman is not illegal, rather it can be considered immoral... that doesn't make it right, but it's nowhere near the same as theft.
I was trying to make a very overblown analogy. Probably a bad idea. Ignore that. However, just because it IS doesn't make it OK. I'm not talking about perfect world scenarios. I'm talking about men using the excuse that "well, they should expect that because we're just men and that's just the way we are." Not only does that make men look like complete morons, it is an attempt to justify a behavior by saying "well, that's just reality." Instead of telling women to change THEIR behavior, why not ask men to change THEIR's? Given that the men are the one's creating the issue by ogling (among other things), shouldn't they be the one's forced to change? And, let's be honest here, it doesn't take skimpy outfits for women to get ogled and hooted at (to use a pun). A woman could be wearing a business suit and if she was blonde, tall and had a pretty face, she'd be ogled, whistled at and cat called all the way down the street. How, exactly, is she supposed to change that? Should she get plastic surgery to make her uglier? My wife (an attractive 5'3" brunette) can walk down the street to the coffee shop with her overalls on, no makeup and hair in a pony tail and be honked at, grunted at and whistled at just by walking. It isn't like she's in a mini skirt, 6' heels and a tank top! Bottom line: using how women look as an excuse for men who behave like neanderthal's is very weak.
What's wrong with behaving like a neanderthal? Seriously, all that sounds so pc. Of course there is a certain line, but please - let's not condemn looking at pretty chicks. It's a fact of life that men (unless they are gay - not that there is anything wrong with that ) are attracted by women they consider pretty. Same goes vice versa, by the way. Maybe women are more discreet in checking out handsome guys (hey, some are not, I should know, as incredibly handsome as I am ), but I think there is nothing wrong with having a good look at a pretty girl - I can hardly help it, so if that makes me a neanderthal, I guess that's what I am . Okay, I used at least 517 different smilies in this post...
Don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying that finding women attractive or looking at them is wrong. I do. I have a beautiful wife. That's the first thing I noticed about her. Nothing wrong with that. But, there is a difference between being respectful and being a bonehead. You can look and still be respectful.
The real FACT is your statement is really an opinion...not a fact. I live in Baton Rouge and the Hooters here is ok. of course, LSU is down the street, so you have plenty of desperate women. The wings always have, still does, and will always suck! I had one of the best burgers there though. Just like any low/cheap end restarant; Service and quality will alway be as good as the management...no more. I never went in there looking for a quality meal...and the only time i go is with a bunch of guys. Not my ideal place to eat, but it still beats macdonalds.
Complain about Hter's to get a few laughs........ end up with a thread on the problems of male ogling. Never in my wildest dreams did I think this was possible.
From what I recall, nobody forces these women to apply. There are plenty of restaurants they can work at where they can be covered head to toe. Ogle away. os
Actually, I think that happens to me all the time. Probably why I am never able to get a job despite being the most overeducated man on the planet. I think that happens, too. Well, maybe not ONLY that much. But certainly looks do often help. But I don't go to Hooter's (I went a couple of times when I still lived in Amarillo and we didn't have a Hooters there, so when we all went to Dallas on a convention trip, we decided to go to Hooters since we had heard so much about it but had never been. That would've been around 1995 or so, I guess), and I don't ogle. When I go to restaurants, I tend to end up with Chip or Skip or some guy with the earring and the spikey hair with the bleached highlights who calls me "Buddy" and tries to be funny. I admit that I went to Friday's the other day and ended up spending a lot of time staring at our waitress (unusually, we had a female server that day), but it wasn't ogling, it was trying to figure out where I knew her from or who she reminded me of assuming I didn't know her. I think the staring might have been flattering, though, because we did get free breadsticks (she said we looked bored. I think they just dropped 'em on the floor and didn't want to give 'em to a stray dog) and we did end up with pretty good attention from our server that night. So from now on, I'm just going to stare at any server I get, male or female, and see if that results in better service. I did finally figure out who our server reminded me of, an old ex-girlfriend I fondly refer to as "Psycho Stacey". Speaking of cleavage, though, I've sure noticed that there seem to be a lot more people with much larger breasts these days. And it's not just because I spend a lot of time with actresses (some of whom have helped nature along considerably in the boobage department). Regular people I see out and about in my daily life appear to have larger breasts than I am used to seeing, especially when compared to back home in Amarillo (I'm starting to think that the region isn't called the "High Plains" because of the topography. Speaking of, one of the things the Amarillo area is called is "The Golden Spread" which always sounded dirty to me). Now, I've got to account for the fact that I do live in Plano, so there is going to be a larger element of Boob-Job Bettys here in town than in say Arlington. And I'm sure the trophy wife contingent is not exactly small here, either. But I don't think that can totally account for the seemingly larger breast size the average female 'round here sports. I'm at a loss to explain it, but I thought I'd share the story with you all anyhow.
Women who wear outfits that are specifically designed to draw attention have no right to complain when it works. If I wear a shirt with a comic on it, I can't complain if people read it.
I haven't been to Hooter's in a long time. Lately I've been eating at a place called "Burqas-R-Us". I don't recommend it.
