I must admit that some women do things because they don't know the connotations. And we as men must lead them to understand that although she might be doing something innoncent (from her part), it opens the doors from a third party to disrespect us as men. And then it will put us in a situation in which we must take action. Things and energy that could have been avoided.
I can definitely dig that. I hear everything you say, loud and clear. As far as the dancing incident goes, I can really describe it no other way than to say it was harmless. Me, her, her sister and her husband do stuff like that all time, have contests to see who can run the most game (lol the girls always win, we really should quit doing it). But you say the random guys don't respect me? Guess what, some folks don't respect, no matter what. Tony Soprano? Are you kidding me, I'd respect my life being taken, not "Tony" in essence. And that, last time I checked, was a crime. If someone disrespects me because they KNOW i won't kill or hurt them, then they were gonna disrespect me anyway.
Tell me this, how can you "call girls on their sh!t" without looking extremely jealous. All you can do is walk away, or flirt with other girls, which I do sometimes and works wonders. You know, she MAY cheat on me one day, she MAY go too far on a girls night. But if I find out, she's history, and that's all there is to it.
Also, I think you need trust. But this third party respect is a topic that really deserves discussing, and I have been in that situation before. Like I said, my gf is VERY nice, outgoing, and knows a lot of people through her business, so it pays to be nice and flirty with guys who tip her $20 for a $20 haircut. And they all want to go out with her. She has a picture of us up in her salon, and they STILL ask her out. How can I expect guys I don't even know to respect me?
