Is this weird or is it just me?

[Mobile Manicure]

I didn't say ignoring it is the way to deal with it, I said jumping to conclusions isn't!
There was no booking or further enquiry made, if the guy calls her again then yes there would be reason to worry.
All I'm saying is that not every guy out there is a weirdo!
Having been in a situation myself as a 15 year old with an older man stalking me (yes he was arrested), I am redo culturally careful when it comes to things like this.
But if he only called to enquire and ended the call when he was told it couldn't be done, I don't see any reason to ponder on it!
I'm not looking to argue with you but I just can't see how we can assume this man is a weirdo/pedo without further information.

No, I realise that nothing further can be done and that the caller did nothing wrong in the first place. I just find it strange that so many of you didn't find the call unusual. To receive a call like this and not hear alarm bells ringing is what troubles me. That so many of you find it perfectly acceptable somewhat scares me. What else would you find acceptable? For an 11 year old to go into a celebrities' dressing room for some "acting lessons"?

We're talking about a dad ringing for intimate waxing, not a mum and a bikini line. Completely different.

Do you have any idea how much woman have suffered to be seen and treated equal to men? So it would be ok if it was a mum but not a dad? Some 15 year olds don't have mums, and your attitude and blatant sexism is quite appalling. He is clearly not a profession, would he even know the difference between intimate and bikini, christ there are so many terms for different things these days. Is it so far fetched that perhaps when raising a teenage daughter alone and dealing with first bras, first periods, first boyfriends, that a daughter asking her dad if she could start waxing instead of shaving may be perfectly normal for that family, and the dad just wanted to check how old she had to be?

While I agree that it is necessary to be wary and trust your instincts , this guy didnt pursue the question in anyway so I would get too worried about it.
It's not fair to assume all men are guilty until proven innocent .

It is out of the ordinary for a father to call about intimate waxing for a 15 year old girl.

But it isn't out of the ordinary for creeps to call up therapists and ask for strange requests.

I do think it is a bit odd that the man wouldn't explain himself a bit more, as most men/fathers would be aware that in this day and age people can jump to conclusions.

I've had loads of men call me on behalf of their wives. They tend to go into detail to assure me that they're above board. Once I've had a good chat with them I can gauge whether or not I have a nutter on the phone (and I've had plenty of them too).

Yes, we have worked hard to be treated equal but unfortunately the world isn't catching up. Didn't over 200 school girls just get kidnapped to be sold?

Forgive me for being over-protective and wary. I'd rather be over cautious than careless. You can never go back.

Oh my goodness - how judgemental can some people be?

There are also pervy women out there and there are plenty of sexual abuse cases where a woman had been the abuser so, can I assume that the witch hunters would also call the police should this have been a woman caller? Or a woman calling about her son?

Yes, it could've been a weirdo but, who knows.

By all means report it to the police but, with no name, telephone number or credible accusation, all you're doing is wasting police time and making a fool of yourself.

Well that's just rediculous. I never said to report it to the police. If you read my earlier post, I said he did nothing wrong, he just made a phone call. I think it's just weird and it would get my alarm bells ringing and I would assume its a sicko.

No more ridiculous than calling someone 'sick' when there's no actual evidence to suggest they are.

Making accusations like that with NOTHING to back it up with, can seriously ruin a life.

Of course, if there was evidence, definitely do something about it.

I'm curious to know why a mum asking about a bikini line is any different?!

 

[Biljana]

Not every male is a perv and to jump to conclusions is disrespectful to the male species. Just because my Dad wouldn't in a million years call on my behalf there are just as many Dad's that would. I would rather have an open minded no taboo relationship between parents and kids as I believe it raises better kids. Ones that aren't suspicious of everyone!
What worries me is the majority of people that do think of others as perverts, what goes on through YOUR head? No offense

I really think you're trying to blow this out of all proportion. I don't see how what I "think" (and not plaster all over Facebook revealing the victim) is going to ruin someone's life. I just have an opinion on a random phone caller's subject of conversation.

I have just asked my husband if he would ring a salon on behalf of our daughter for intimate waxing and he said "no way, they'd think I'm a prank caller".

Out of interest, do you have a daughter? I'm only asking because maybe that's why I'm seeing it differently.

It could be the vast experience I've had with pervs. Makes me suspicious.

I'm not trying to blow this out of proportion at all.

No, I don't have a daughter, but I have a dad. And I know that my dad would do anything for me, whether others thought he was weird or not. So you'd think my dad was sick and a weirdo if he called on my behalf? I can assure you he's not!

What if your husband said yes to your question, would you call him sick?

And so have I. I have spent 3 years in war as a young child into my preteen years and the things I experienced are more than enough to put most people into mental institutions
All committed by men. Took years of therapy once I moved to Canada to get me to where I am today, I have 3 children and 2 are girls. I choose to believe there are more Good people on this planet because if I had the negative thoughts each time I encountered a man then I may as well lock myself up and not live amongst them.
I always think that in order for a person to be this afraid and suspicious they must have been abused themselves in which case therapy is in order.
This planet is full of nasties but the good does outweigh the bad.

No but I'd think it was very strange and out of character as he won't even ring the school when she's ill. I'd also think he'd had a personality transplant and would probably keep a closer eye on him.

But then I'd also keep a closer eye on him if he suddenly decided to go to football matches. That would also be completely out of character.

 

[Glitzymissy]

Can't believe how judgemental people are being.
If it was a mum calling up would they too be seen as a 'perv'?
Yes we have to be aware that there are 'weirdos' out there but judging people like this is ridiculous!
I know when our girls are older that my husband would do anything for
them even if that meant making embarrassing phone calls they are too shy to make themselves! Let's hope he never has to or he'll be strung up

I think everybody needs to step back calm down.
To the OP No the phone call & request was not weird I'm afraid it's you & your own imagination, assumptions & worries making it weird.
Sounds genuine & innocent to me.
Nothing was done wrong so let's not get carried away.

Yes bad things do happen yes sometimes people have missed the signs yes sometimes people have been naive & yes sometimes people ignore wrong doings.
Sometimes also perfectly innocent peoples lives have been ruined due to false accusations.

Your personal safety is paramount, set your own safety rules, work with gut instinct & use your common sense.

Maybe it was out of character for the 'weirdo' too. Maybe he was just as uncomfortable. Maybe he'd never called a salon before let alone asked about a wax. As others have said, maybe he's a lone parent and there's no one else who can do this stuff for his daughter.
Maybe, just maybe, he's not sick... Or a weirdo.

Maybe he's just being the best dad he can be.

If your husband did do it for your daughter, and you'd be happy for the therapist at the other end of the phone to brandish him a perv without knowing anything about him or your daughter, crack on. I don't think it's fair though.

 

[Navayah123]

The only way i would of found this phone call odd is if he would have persued the matter after being told 15 was to young.. Yes we all have to be on our guard now a days not condeming every man a pervert for doing something for his child that isnt the norm!
