I'm a beer-drinking, sports watching masculine man but I find it offensive when men refer to their wives as their "old lady".
I ask that the term not be used. I get told to "lighten up", not be "anal" or get asked who "pissed in my cornflakes".
I'm nowhere close to "anal" or "uptight". I just don't like the term for its lack of respect.
What do you think?

OMG! I can't believe there is actually a man out there who doesn't like that either! It is so disrespectful. My husband sometimes refers to me as his "old lady" and I absolutely hate it! I can't understand why it isn't "cool" for a man to actually like his wife/gf???

What approximately Recycled youngster or energetic Pensioner ? i think of I desire Senior Citizen, yet there back it incredibly is only my very own very own view. it incredibly is the challenge there are consistently people who elect to pigeonhole and steriotype everybody, yet everybody is a man or woman, at each age point and what looks the two appropriate to the age attained, the guy may well be the two forward or backward to those years. a pal of mine is 40-one yet acts like a eighty 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous, my mum whilst at eighty acted greater like a youngster, so as that leaves the question why catigorise interior the 1st place? we are all area of the human race, as long as we don't come final who cares !!lol!!

It is kind of offensive and sexist.
It's bad enough when ignorant motorcycle gang types refer to their wife or girlfriend as "my old lady" but when people with jobs and homes that don't have wheels on them say it, it's also extremely pathetic.
Your friends need to stop being stupid and sexist - THEY'RE the ones with the problem, not you.

It's not very pleasant, neither is referring to their wife as "the wife"

first off - I don't think you are old enough to be a beer drinker and once you get a girlfriend or wife you might change your mind.
