It's easy for people to say that "I would never allow my woman to do something like that" blah, blah, blah, but if you are:
A) Secure and confident with yourself
and
B) Have no reason to believe she was doing it to try to hook up with someone else
and
C) Aren't bothered by what transpires
Then WHO THE FUKK CARES? You don't have to defend yourself for not being pissed.
No one should "prohibit" his partner from doing anything. You simply educate your partner about what you consider a deal breaker, what you consider disrespectful, and how are your morals/values. I mean...she cannot read minds! And every man is different.
I have two examples that I will share with you based on my life:
1) I remember dealing with this "tough" guy that was in our team (sport) several years ago. He was not a bad guy. He actually looked tough and he was a good person too. But his wife pushed him all over the place. It was common knowledge that she went out into drunken fest, etc. She had little respect for him. During a game, I was playing injured. Toward the end, I complained that my knee was bothering me. He, of all people, came with some remarks to which I reply..."Safe your anger and remarks for your wife."
My point? I had ZERO respect for him as a
Man.
2) A nightclub stuff about 1.5 years ago. I was already 37. Very sexy young woman (23) and her husband (around 23-25) used to frequent this place with their friends. She danced with other men...he simply watch. It obviously didn't bother him. In fact, it was similar to the story told in here. Regardless, she caught me looking at her a few times. The "eye" to "eye" thing.
Sometimes, she walked from the dance floor and walk by me while I was standing there (note: I'm a very good dancer, but choose to keep that low profile) drink on one hand. And as she walked...the "eye" thing took place. Then the smile.
To make the story short...several weeks later she did the same thing and went to get a drink while the others waited. I did the same and we did the eye thing and then I asked for her name (I never offer mine to see if she is interested enough to ask for it and in this case she did). The next night she went ALONE. And I did not waste time. We danced...and trust me...it was so provocative that it looked like we were making out. Sweating and all that stuff. We got some drinks and she started talking badly about her husband, blah, blah...offered to by me a drink...blah, blah...I used the "you are too young" crap...blah, blah, and that got her to justify that age difference was not an issue...in a nutshell...the ONLY reason I did not phuck her was because I truly did not want too. There is no doubt in my mind I would have destroyed her marriage and as importantly, I sensed she could become a little psycho.
Needless to say...as confident as this dude looked...I had ZERO respect for him as a Man. In fact, if I could have pursue that girl (and by doing so DISRESPECTING him as a Man). And why would I do something like that? Because I had NO respect for him as a Man. And she didn't do anything to safeguard that respect. And we are talking about a WIFE here.
I used to hit the clubs from time to time with my last LTR when we first started dating, and she would have guys up on her all the time. Most of the time I would laugh it off and watch her eventually blow them off. I knew she was with me and that was that. If it doesn't bother you and she isn't going overboard it's only going to UP your value in her eyes.
That's not her fault. The issue in here is NOT how men approach our women. Because of an AFC society...other men will always approach women that are taken. The issue here is HOW our women DEAL with the situation to SAFEGUARD the respect of others toward her man.
By doing what she did...your LTR certainly showed respect for you. And as importantly, you gain respect on the eyes of those men too (when they finally see her - a desireable woman- only having eyes for you). Now...if she would have allowed them to rub their groin on her butt...
Make no mistake about one thing...RESPECT from other men is important. Because that can transcend to other issues. I would have no Respect for a CEO as a Man if his wife was disrespecting him too. I would probably respect his ability to run a company...but never Respect him as a Man. And once that respect is gone...it is hard to do business with a person like that.
