Boy toy

Okay, I realize that I am totally new to this board, and basically, I have just been doing a lot of reading and learning, but one thing is REALLY driving me crazy.

I need a "shut 'em up' answer to the question that I keep getting which is "so, how are things with you and your boy toy?"

It really annoys me. Any suggestions on a good comeback. So far, all I have said is, "Please don't use that term."

Funny I just had an aquaintance use the "boy toy" term today. My response was...oh he's way past the boy toy stage, he's the best man I have ever known...everyone should be as happy & lucky as me! She said Yeah you are right. It happens all the time I make sure I let them know he's not aboy toy because there are woman out there with boy toys (Can you say Cougars?)

Well, those are pretty good. I especially like "He's way past that stage," nice and ambiguous.

Any more?

Geez that would be annoying! And I have a bad temper so I'll probably end up snapping on someone. Wish I could give you some advice but being a hothead I don't think that'll be the right thing to do. LOL

I got a couple random comments like that at first, and I made it very clear that I wasn't even going to entertain that idea as a joke... my response was basically, "Eff you." Not classy, but it certainly never happens anymore.

Oh he is great yesterday we bought a new potty chair!

Hmmm now where oh where is Mrs. H? She had a really, really funny one (at least I am certain it was Mrs. H) about letting him breastfeed as long as he wanted, but I'm really killing that one so I hope she sees this and posts!

I have a friend whose always asking me what new "menudo" boy do I like now....this was the spanish group that Ricky Martin first started singing with.

I thought it was hilarious when she says it and still think its hilarious.

She married a man like 12 years older, and he's like 53 now and I believe she's 41, but dang that boy moves as slow as molasses, in fact, I'm sure molasses would beat him big time. I've seen 80 yr old with more spunk. So our joke is I'm always telling her that my menudo boys are yummy, how's "Moses" since he's not moving any faster in finding the promise land. We both crack up.:bgrin2:

We don't let it bug us, it is what it is. I like younger guys, she likes Pepto Bismol...it evens out.

For some reason it doesn't bother me. I would just laugh and say, "I'm havin the time of my life! Why, you wanna get one? But you have to get your own cause you can't have mine!!"

I'd have to ask Jeremy if "boy toy" would bother him. I guess it depends if it was said in jest with a smile or with venom and disgust.

I'd prolly use the same comeback either way.

I know "cougar" bothers me, but not so much the term, but as in it is often misused to describe ANY age gap relationship - not just women who "hunt" younger men for sex.

I am NOT a cougar. I was more the "prey!"

For some reason MILF doesn't bother so much anymore, either.

And we used to joke that I was his sugar mamma - until he started making better money than me! :p

In the very beginning, just before I went on my roadtrip with my YM, one of my best friends kidded me about my "boy toy" and a few months later, an older male friend referred to him as my "studmuffin." And another older male friend from CA called in an urban cougar last year and I was puzzled at the expression. lol But anyone that has met the two of us in real life, consider us a wonderful well-matched couple. :yes:

It really annoys me. Any suggestions on a good comeback. So far, all I have said is, "Please don't use that term."

I don't really talk to many people about my situation, so I don't get comments. But there is one guy that ALWAYS refers to him as my boytoy. It is probably some jealousy on his part because he's a former boyfriend and is himself 8 years younger than me. At the time that he was my boyfriend, the 8 years difference seemed like a huge gap to us, too. So now that he knows my fiance is "in his 20's" (I just turned 47 on the 8th), he must be thinking about that a lot.

I'm lucky I was able to shut him up the first time just by saying "Do you think anyone called Prophet Muhammad a boy toy when he was marrying the older women?" In fact, if any muslim says anything to me about this age difference, that's what I will tell them. Usually they will hem and haw a bit and then say, "well he was a special man". But they have no other thing to say after that.

As for others outside of my religion, I don't know what I'd say, but I know I'll have to be prepared for that eventually, so I'm going to watch this thread and see what other people reply with!

David requests the use of the term "studmuffin" from now on.:D

Boytoy, meh, heard worse.

My ex had an annoying habit of referring to him as "sonny" for a while. That ended when David started calling him "pops" in response.

My response? How about he's not a boy, trust me, he's all man, but he does enjoy being my toy anyway. And I must say, I enjoy being his, as well.:tongue2:

Milf doesn't shake me up either, I'm actually a gilf as well. Cougar just is silly, I'm about as far from a cougar as you could get.

No one has ever referred to my ym as my boy toy....except my ym himself.....and me......
he loves it, actually.....and would probably grin like a chesire cat if someone referred to him as such.......

The only one who knows about this relationship who has had the nerve to use that term was my son. "How's your boy toy?" he inquired; to which I ruffled his hair and replied "Not as good as my first one!"

I am the one frequently with the cheshire cat grin. And when my YM catches me with that look on my face, he grins back and says "you're very pleased with yourself, aren't you!" :cool:

Sometimes as my YM drifts awake, he murmurs how he's the lucky one and hugs me.

Now that is a fantastic come back that I will be stealing. :rofl:

Never had my YM called a boytoy but I have a few close comments. I always say something along the lines of:

"He's doing great thanks and, you know, I have to admit I'm saving a fortune not having to buy all those batteries."

On a side note, when I was applying for state benefits the caseworker made a comment about my fiance and that since he was over 21 he wouldn't qualify for medical.

I corrected her and said he's only 20 expecting dead silence or a snide comment.

Her immediate response was "You go girl!"

Felt good to hear an immediate (key word) positive reaction upon hearing our ages.

the toy is more mature than most 40-50 year olds i've ever known lol - he is in total control and doesn't throw his dummy and toys out of the pram and have tantrums

:D

i've got past thinking of my vym as a 22 year old - i only see him now and all his wonderful qualities just as he just sees me and mine and not my age and its perfect! divine justice at last

i think alot of it is to do with jealousy

Hi, thoughtcriminal....

I think comebacks are VERY IMPORTANT when responding to slurs or demeaning remarks because it lets them know you won't be pushed around. Some people won't instinctively respect you or your choices; you have to DEMAND respect.


The best comeback response depends on your personality. Are you comfortable wounding other people - painfully, if necessary?? :eek: If so, let's BRING IT ON!!!

For some people, the best response is to casually attack the other person based on his/her choice of mate:

"He's great! How's your old bag doing??" or "He's great! How's your old geezer?" "How's Viagra-man holdin' up??"

If that's not rough enough, dig up whatever nasty comment you feel you need to, and they will eventually stop.

Get VICIOUS if you have to!!
If a single or unattractive female is asking you the question, you reply:
"We're havin' a blast! How's your vibrator workin' out?"

If a single or unattractive guy is asking you the question, you reply:
"We're havin' a blast! How's your blow-up doll?"


Don't forget props too - just like on a sitcom. Once at a retirement ceremony at work, someone brought out a gag 'present' for the guy being honored.
The guy was in his late 50s and seemed fit, but he definitely had gray hairs. The 'present' he got was a 4-legged senior-citizen-style walker. :D Everyone BROKE UP laughing, including myself. :D It was a riot!! :p

Finally, although I love chunky ladies and don't like "fat jokes" I would use them if an obese person were taunting me or if someone married to an obese person were taunting me. Just one time is probably all you need - just to get them to back off.

Nobody likes being insulted about something they are sensitive about. Nail them and they will back off.


Good Luck!!

LOL great ones!

If ignorance is bliss, you must be the happiest person alive.

I don't know what makes you so stupid, but it really works!

I'd like to see things from your point of view but I can't seem to get my head that far up my azz

You've got an IQ of 2. Pitty it takes 3 to grunt.

Years ago, I remember being pregnant with my last child and my own dad asked me to drive him around to do a few chores here and there.

People were staring at us and I couldn't exactly put my finger to why this was happening, until I heard someone say out a bit loudly, poor girl, she didn't have to marry that much of an older man. . .! What the h***???

See? people judge and talk even though they don't know what the whole story is, and they probably have nothing better to do or say at any particlar time .

Such a comment would usually make me shrug it off thus not giving anyone the benefit of their intended or unintended maliciousness and by ignoring and not answering back; well, maybe just a bit of a stare would place them back in their rightful place, making them go about their own business and me to mine .

LOL - yeah, that was me... and that's exactly what I said after an acquaintance asked me if my husband was out of diapers yet. :bgrin2:

We've also had friends (jokingly) ask my husband if he'd like a kiddie menu when we go to restaurants; Tim just fires back and asks if they'll let him borrow their AARP card.

If you've got a good comeback at the ready, they do back down quickly.

That one actually didn't bother me in the beginning. After it turned into a full fledged relationship, they stopped using that term. We joked about it when it first started. I used to say "Hey at least I'm hot enough to score myself a boy toy". That ususally did the trick.

I do have a mail boss that is 5 years younger than me that tried to be funny asking me how veal tasted and I answered him that it was way better that an old oxe. :yes:

At least that's what I hope my wife says. . .:rolleyes:
