security shoving hot young girls in front of Lindsey?

In hindsight, as a well-endowed young teenager, I really, REALLY felt uncomfortable with older men checking me out. Like, my fight or flight would kick in. I think whether you resent it or not, some girls and women are going to be creeped out by you checking them out because you've reached a certain age. That might not stop you from staring, but you can't stop them from feeling creeped out, because like for me, I can't help when my feeling of fight or flight kicks in with certain men (and men of a certain age).

I think it's one thing to admire someone being attractive and taking a quick peak and another thing to feel entitled to gaze upon them just because you find them attractive. That's ignoring them as a person with feelings, and essentially, objectifying them.

and Seinfeld, if we're talking of Fleetwood Mac connections, always brings me to Chris.

At any rate, there are teenagers and twenty somethings at every concert who are clearly crazy about Lindsey (or Stevie), and make no effort to hide how they feel, so it goes both ways. And that's not unique to FM. It happens with most older rockers.

If you were in a bar, a restaurant, the grocery store, just passing on a sidewalk, etc, yeah, I agree with you. But, everything changes when there's a stage & a guitar involved. I know from 1st hand experience. BEFORE a show, I could go up & talk to some hot younger woman, who would MAYBE talk to me for a couple of minutes, IF she doesn't give me the brush-off immediately. Put, me on stage playing guitar with my band and that same person would come up to ME on band break and dominate my entire breaktime and pretty much "throw herself" at me. It's the whole "man with a guitar" thing which makes AGE irrelevant (provided both meet the "consenting adult" criteria)
