Ping Diss: Annie's Mailbox

I saw this online:

Dear Annie: I read the letter from "Embarrassed Wife," whose 73-year-old husband checks out every female who moves, including a teenage girl. So what? This is what men do, although some are slyer at it than others. And they look at teenage girls, too, because most of them are beautiful. That's why we look. It is not a crime to look. I'm in my 40s and look at women of all ages. Sly Enough

Dear Sly: It's OK to look. It's not OK to ogle, drool, make slurping noises or otherwise embarrass your wife.

Here's the previous letter:

Dear Annie: My 73-year-old husband has become a dirty old man. I do not enjoy going out with him, because he constantly stares at other women. I understand that men like to look, but my husband doesn't simply glance. He stares. He fixes his gaze as if he's in a trance.

And the women do not have to be pretty any female will do, particularly their rear ends. We can be sitting behind a woman and if her backside is visible, he ogles it. It's embarrassing to me because he is quite obvious about it, and there's no doubt other people are aware of what he's doing. He certainly doesn't seem to care that he makes me uncomfortable, and I worry that one of these days, a husband or boyfriend is going to confront him. I work all week and can only imagine what he does when I'm not around. Right now, he is totally smitten with a teenager who works in a local shop, and I'm afraid this girl's father will have him arrested. I've had enough and would appreciate some advice. Embarrassed Wife

Dear Wife: Your husband should get a complete checkup, and you can alert the doctor to the problem ahead of time. Sometimes uninhibited behavior like this is symptomatic of a small stroke or early dementia. A clean bill of health means you have to decide how much you can tolerate. If he refuses to behave in public, socialize with friends instead, and let him stay home and ogle the neighbors. If he gets arrested, maybe he'll learn a lesson.

It's seems the teen in question is underage. However, the responder in the first letter is stating the truth, teenage girls are beautiful. Maybe he has a problem or maybe he just decide he no longer care what society thinks.
