Ask your sister/mother/wife what she thinks about men drooling over sexualised pictures of women.

I'm not going get involved in the discussion of whether having grid girls is right or wrong in today's world, but all I will say is that a good friend of mine used to go out with a girl who had done that work from time to time, and I met her on a number of occasions. All I can say is that she absolutely loved the job and was gutted when F1 stopped using them in 2018.

She said it was fantastic as she got to mingle with the rich and famous, occasionally got her face on TV (which was good for her portfolio), had a great day meeting fans/promoters/racing team members, etc, plus she got to watch the race for free. And she said the pay was a lot better than other gigs she did. She actually said she felt incredibly lucky to be able to make a living out of looking like she did, although she said there was also a lot more PR to it than people imagine.

Obviously her experience doesn't necessarily correlate to the experience of everyone else, but she absolutely never gave the impression that she (or any of her friends) needed a white knight to ride in and save her from the career path that she chose. Quite the contrary in fact: she would rant about what she called the "PC brigade" taking away one of the best jobs she'd had.

Sister/mother/wife?? You mean ask your birthing person right? Little offended by how you structured that sentence.

Go away. Go find a Lia Thomas swim meet to watch buddy.

Probably the same as they feel about women drooling over men...

Unless they are hypocritical

Is it cool if I ask them next time we eat at Hooters together? How about at a beach where 70% these days have their ass hanging out (despite the lack of figure to pull it off).

Some people aren’t shocked that men are interested in women, and can easily define a woman too.

LOL I was looking to post this in response!

Stereotypes never ever make sense… no such thing as a NPC each individually thinks exactly what the media and corporations tell them they should!

All of them would be very concerned if I missed a beautiful woman walking past and did not look .

My wife is a MD and deals with anti-aging medicine every day .Part of this is loss of sexual desire with ageing .Her other specialty is cosmetic dermatology .Botox ,fillers etc. Wonder who her patients want to look attractive for ? Other people perhaps ??

PS : I am an MD too .

No amount of brainwashing will eliminate biological interest in the opposite sex. Lol at the soy boy mentality that by acting like a woman and agreeing with them men are pigs that now you will be able to sleep with them.

So classy dressed rolex grid girls are a relic of the past because the new generation of dancing degenerate trans people pushing it on school children is finally ushering in some respect and decency!

I actually never expressed my views on the grid girls. and you don't need to be nice to women to have them desire you. that is not the point. the issue is antiquated ideas of masculinity from men bordering on geriatric.

That’s a whole bunch of words saying nothing.

Name an antiquated idea you think will die at least…

Lmao. You knew it was only a matter of time before we hit the “destroy the patriarchy” part of the programming. What’s nice about dealing with an NPC is the level of predictability to their algorithm.
