At the Christmas party this year, I got a full-body hug and kiss on the lips with probing tongue from a divorcee who has seen my baby daughter and was there with her date.
And it was way too early for booze to be a factor.
Hubba! hubba!
Some of us really like bow ties. To each his own.
I’ve had guys hit on me in the presence of my husband. The last time was a few months ago. To be fair, he couldn’t see my left hand and we were in a bar. I was there to see my son-in-law play a little rock ‘n’ roll. He mistook my husband for my father. (Well it was very dark.) It did me a world of good.
One of my school administrators hit on me repeatedly, yet we remained friends. He was subtle enough that I could dodge him without things becoming too uncomfortable.
It does make me feel good to read a post from a guy who didn’t even consider taking the bait. Thanks, Rick.
Don’t think this will deter them, if they’re interested in messing around. Last out of town training session I attended I had a woman roughly half my age request a “mercy fuck.” :eek: Good looker, too, but…nah!
Usually flirtations are easy enough to ignore. Most of the time, a guy can simply play dumb, (clueless) and they’ll assume you’re a dork and look elsewhere. Only rarely, as in the above case, do you have to say no clearly and firmly, and explain the situation. In my case, it’s easy enough to explain: I’ve got all the woman I can handle at home!
Unless, of course, I could get me a shot at Zoe, who gets mistaken for her husband’s daughter. Can you spell HOT!?

I guess Jim and I are in the minority - as far as I know, neither of us has been hit on during our three year marriage. Of course, neither of us was exactly burning up the dating scene before we met, and I’m guessing we’re both pretty clueless, but certainly nothing blatant. I don’t think either of us could flirt to save our lives, either.
As a happily married man, I can report that, fortunately, this is one temptation I have never been called upon to combat!

I’m the lead singer in a band. I’ve had women flirt with me quite a bit, but I never saw it as terribly personal. I think these women would’ve approached whomever was the lead singer, and would’ve ignored me had I not been. So, I don’t really count that.
I’ve often theorized that the women in question are thinking: “Oh, wow! Look! A stable man who’s hard-working and a good husband! If I can steal him, I’ll have all of that.”
Of course, they don’t seem to understand that: 1) part of what *makes *him a good husband is that he’s not banging every skank who throws herself at him, and 2) if a man will cheat on his *current *wife, he’ll cheat on his next wife, too.
(I’ve known women who did this: stole another woman’s husband and then were utterly *shocked *when he cheated on them. They seem to think they’re “different”-- that with them, he really is committed.)
I get flirted with quite often. Most of the time it never goes beyond long looks and wry smiles. Part of my job is to go to social events, and in this town, that means:
A) Lots of free booze
B) Lots of late evenings
C) Lots of VERY pretty women
I’m also very friendly and know I’ll never cheat, so I can ride that edge like a pro. My wife hears about the more blatant examples, too, so that actually eases her mind. If I ever stop talking about flirtateous cuties, she would probably start thinking I had taken things to another level.
Most evenings are business networking events with lots and lots of talking and proper behaviour mixed in with sly flirting. But about once-a-month there is a PARTY! with all the requisite add-ons: entertainment, loosened ties and dancing. Owing to the fact that I am often at these events without my better 90% (she doesn’t like the big events and doesn’t want to leave the kid with a babysitter), and to my enjoyment of dancing, I often find myself the center of attention. I love the fact that most men don’t dance unless dragged onto the floor by their partners. Poor me. Surrounded by hot ladies on the dance floor.
Yeah, my job sucks.
Wifecat was approached a few years ago in the metro by a forward guy that kept pushing, even when she said she was married he kept pushing and made her take his business card. I almost called the guy because he was too pushy.

That would definitely crimp your style…
Cliffwife: “So, honey, why do you need a bow tie?”
Cliffy: “Hot women hit on me when I wear it.”
Cliffwife: “So, honey, how tight do you want it?”
Cliffy: “urrckk…”
Add me to the Clueless Brigade. A couple we know wanted to swap with us, and my wife had to tell me about it after the fact.
Sometimes it’s overt enough that I can’t help get the signal. Other times it happens and flies right past me until someone, occasionally the wife, points out to me what is going on.
I’m befuddled honestly. Women I’ve been involved with, or that I know well as friends tell me that to know me is to love me, but certainly not that to see me is to love me - if you get my point.
I think it’s what everyone up there said about women liking the stability, but also that some women like the danger and risk of having an affair. Still more I think like the idea of having a man without the attachment of having to sustain a relationship and screwing around with a married guy who’s going to go to lenghts to keep things light and private might give them that.
Still others are just sluts and don’t know boundaries. Those are my favorites. 
Either I’m oblivious to any flirting that was directed at me, or it’s just that no one has flirted with me. Doesn’t bother me one way or the other.
