While I know I was objectified by my superficial husband, I also know that he knew there was more to me than a pretty smile and perky boobs. I find that, like you, I am also stuck in the middle of wanting to be objectified and yet wanting to be respected for all my hard work and the education I chose to get.
At this point in my life, the only man I truly enjoy objectifying me is my husband and he couldn't do it enough if you ask me. Yeah, we've reeled them in but it's nice to know we still got 'em.
To anon-- I think that many women don't want to know you're objectifying them right off the bat. When I was single, for a man to approach me and compliment me was nice but for a man to tell me he wished I was on that stripper pole was and still is a huge turn off. The truth is that for men you really have to know how to read body language and sometimes not say what you want to-- at least in the beginning.
