"bit creepy" was said ironically. 

It's disgusting, pervy and paedophilic.

And an unwelcome anachronism.

Apologies if you thought I was having a go at you, I wasn’t. Easy to lose nuance on the internet

Where were all of you a few months ago when some users were trying to justify rockstars banging 14 year olds? Haha.

I was in the same place I am today.  There's no justification or excuse.

Gosh, we're all very PC today aren't we.

Personally, I find the short skirt comment a bit silly but I'm not above appreciating a good body.  In fact, if I was, I'd worry that I might be dead.

There was a very acrimonious one on Jimmy Page which started off on his guitar noodling and detoured onto his underage noodling.

Creepy, Perry and maybe disgusting I accept.

But paedophilia not, I think she's about 20. And possibly ripe for a bit time modelling career with something respectable like Marks and Spencer or H&M. Perhaps not Victoria's secret if she wants to remain the girl next door.

Other than that thanks for the hoped reactions to my post.

And yeah I don't see what is wrong in appreciating an attractive young woman nearly old enough to be my granddaughter. And yes I watch tennis mainly for short skirts and yes I admit to being a crrepster

She really does have a lovely smile.

I find this objectifying in deeply poor taste. She's 19. Wind it in please.

OK accepted.

But one last comment, if a woman came on a tennis thread to appreciate the hunky biceps of that ridicously good looking Spanish player -would you object?

Except, to over simplify, you weren’t “appreciating her biceps” you were asking her to adjust her clothing to show more of her “biceps”.

@drofluf is correct and to add to what they are saying @Smellyfingers, if at one fifth of the way through the 21st Century, you have such a mid 20th Century grasp on gender and sexuality politics, then there's nothing I can say or do to help you understand further. 

Good luck.

It's such a relief we've got the Toyah Wilcox thread for some balance at the opposite end of the scale.

I hadn't realised that modern tennis players balls were still so hairy...

It's the colour which I find alarming.
