| Why do married men stare at you when they are with their wives? Posted: 2/28/2007 8:36:53 AM | Op I get it too and it pisses me off. But, there's nothing to do about it except give them a dirty look and keep walking.
I hate that single men will stare at me, not just look but stare, and never approach me. I used to be all hung up about it, thinking I was really scary looking or came across as a freak. I now know that's not true, but when people stare at you it's hard not to imagine that you have chocolate on your face or something, lol. | |

These men were with their wives - at a furniture store no less -
They weren't staring, if you had looked closer, no doubt their eyes were glazed over and they were drooling - they were comatose - They would have picked the first couch they liked, regardless of colour or style and been out the door in 15 minutes tops...whereas their wives were wondering if it would look ok with the Royal Daultons and sheers. Debating the merits of throw cushions et al.
Forgive me mizbex, it's not all about you!

men and women who are truly enamored with their partners simply have no desire to look. they're so wrapped up with one another they don't notice outsiders in "that" way.
Are you for real picky?.....well....i guess by your name "picky" says it all.....
I had a g/f for 6 years, very much in love very much "enamored" with eachother. We were walking one day, guy jogged by us with his shirt off...six pack, well built, the whole deal...i KNEW she was looking at him. Hell im a straight man, and i looked. I said to her.....looks like you will be giving me some good sex tonight huh?....she said "probably"....we totalled laughed it off as nothing. I would be more worried if she DIDNT look.....we are humans its in our nature to look at other good looking people...stop making a big issue out of it...for gods sake...he didnt take the girl in the funrture store and start humping her on the spot did he?
Yes there is a way to be "cool" about it...adn then there is a way to be a d i c k about it...you have to find a happy medium....
BUT...i refuse to beleive "picky", that when you are with someone you dont "notice" other good looking people...if you say "no im so enamored with my b/f i dont need to look"....BLECH....be honest.... | |

| Why do married men stare at you when they are with their wives? Posted: 3/2/2007 3:37:56 PM | | A COMPLIMENT TO ME BUT A F U TO HIS WIFE. As I journey on this planet and have interacted in many scenerios in relationships the ones that are the most valuable, strengthening, respectful and soul filling are with my girlfriends and sisters. No matter what goes on they are a rock on which I can lean with open arms of love and acceptance. It is a learned respect for my gender for as a younger woman I perceived them as a standard I did not measure up to thus feeling threatened when the gentleman that I was with had roaming eyes. To young to know the signs that the gentleman was certainly not a gentleman but just a man without character or manners. Today I am not interested in compliments that would harm one of my fellow sisters whether I know her personally or not. She understands me and I her with unspoken words. (Women married or not who are insecure and jealous enjoy married men's attention and even go as far as to pursue a sexual encounter in hopes of feeling better about their lack of a relationship at home and being able to seduce someone elses Husband or boyfriend.) It is not the wife who owns these character traits of insecurity and jealousy it is the starer, luster, persuer. She is to busy cleaning, working, taking care of children and dying to herself for the sake of her family and their needs to even notice half the time that her husband is a attention seeking opportunist while she is washing his underwear. First thought when men hit on me with a wedding ring on or in front of his wife is come on girl lets get the hell out of here and leave this animalistic, testosterone leading animal in the woods where he belongs and let's go find a grown up man who has self control, will be attentive, respectful, and grateful to have you by your side. The good book states Husbands are to love their wifes as God loved us. I have not recalled reading that God looks for other opportunity's or more attractive people to help first before he gets to me. | |

| Why do married men stare at you when they are with their wives? Posted: 3/2/2007 3:58:12 PM | Men and woman both do this. Women are more blatten about it when they are with their best girlfriends. Men are just dumber then women are. A women would have to be pretty damn good looking for that to happen to me. It's a compliment to you!
No harm... no foul.... | |

it is called BIOLOGY
We are visual animals.....
and what do you care whether or not their wife was disrespected? that is really only her issue. if she is confident in her relationship with her husband she wont care..in fact, she probably laughs about it. | |

| Why do married men stare at you when they are with their wives? Posted: 3/3/2007 12:57:08 AM | I don't think it's disrespectful at all. It's just natural. Beautiful women subconsciously draw attention from males. Now if you mean to say that they continue to stare after a first glance, then perhaps that might be disrespectful.
In my case, I point out the woman and tell my wife that I think that woman is really attractive. My wife then points to the women *she* finds attractive, and we discuss how different of tastes we have when it comes to women. We play the same game with men.
Now *that's* what being secure in your relationship is all about. | |

| Why do married men stare at you when they are with their wives? Posted: 3/3/2007 9:29:21 AM | OP, any woman who seeks to control what and who I look at is a control freak. And insecure to boot. I'll be running for the hills while she finds some other guy to castrate.
Just curious, do you get upset if your bf looks at a victoria's secret catalog?
Everybody likes to look at a person with a nice physique or an attractive face. It's human nature. | |

Because you stare back Because you smiled at them Because you're cute Because they're bored in the furniture store
I can give you a piece of plain advice..it takes two to..(u can fill in the blank), and if it still bothers you, get some therapy!
that guy is funny! | |

| Why do married men stare at you when they are with their wives? Posted: 3/4/2007 11:05:33 AM | You know, I thought about this again, and realized this thread talks about married men who stare like its any different from men who aren't married, are involved, are single, are gay, hell if they're breathing, they're looking. I even think I have seen some dead men do this from coffins (joke, joke - but you get my point).
And it's not because we're hot or more desirable or whatever (if it were, us less attractive women would be ignored). It's basically because we're female and breathing that we get looked at. I consider it sort of a part of life if you ever leave the house.
Who cares. If they start touching us, now that's another story. | |

It's just human nature to want to look at people with nice physiques. | |

| Why do married men stare at you when they are with their wives? Posted: 3/4/2007 1:01:30 PM | I believe it is the lack of respect for their s/o. Whether it's a girlfriend or wife. I have many friends that are married and talk about all the women they would like to be with. I, being a divorced single dad, think you're completely nuts. You have someone and you're looking around. I would love to be in love again. I miss that more than anything. Also, I don't think they are worried about being caught or they wouldn't do it so obviously.
Sorry, I'll get off the soapbox now. | |

| Why do married men stare at you when they are with their wives? Posted: 3/5/2007 12:44:14 PM | | omg, ur in society wearing jeans and u probably do a phenom butt, so what if a few men look at u? It is obvious u loved the attention, u can admit it. Women who are that insecure and punch their husbands, deserve to have loser husbands who check out other women. I personally don't see the problem with a quick look or smile; after all, we don't live in a vacuum. | |

| Why do married men stare at you when they are with their wives? Posted: 3/5/2007 6:33:15 PM | | I think it's just a matter of what's different at the moment... I love Pizza, but if I had to eat it everyday, a cheeseburger would look really friggin' tasty! Ah, never mind me, I'm not married, why would I know what I"m talking about??? | |

| Why do married men stare at you when they are with their wives? Posted: 3/7/2007 5:19:48 AM | First of all, could be as innocent as the combination you were wearing looked really good. There might be the odd idea that they all thought you were beautiful, or just really natural looking.
I am not married, but i walked into the city seeing other women. There is nothing wrong with staring at another women, or her staring at another man. I am not the jealous type, and she knows i am not the cheating type.
Admiring a work of art is no crime. Perhaps you became the muse to those men, and those women never send you a thank you note.
So many reasons, none of them degrading, disrespectful, or even insinuating.
The final option..... Perhaps you look like someone famous.... | |

| Why do married men stare at you when they are with their wives? Posted: 3/7/2007 6:55:47 AM | I think its natural and fairly harmless to look... hell, I LOVE to look at women, but that doesn't mean I am tempted to cheat on my sweety.
When you are beside your wife/husband or bf/gf its kinda rude though, I personally behave. You can still have a quick look, but you have to be subtle (get some sunglasses dumbass LOL)
Look at the menu all you want, just don't order from it :) | |
