Do you get upset when your spouse/GF/BF looks at somone else of the oppersite sex? Would you be more worried if they were checking out someone of the same sex?


What about someone else checking them out does it upset you seeing someone else lust after them?

No, I don't think I'd care, and the latter might even boost my starved self-esteem.

Opposite! This is the second thread I've seen on here with a misspelling on the same word... Urgh.

I do not mind seeing anyone check out my man. Confidence boost.

As far as him checking someone else - niether him or I check people out while we are together. Everyone will look eventually, but terms and conditions of our relationship show that we don't do it while in each others company.

Also, it depends on who they are checking out -- just daily occurences or in a movie with Collin Ferrel (druel) or him watching J Lo in a movie ...

I wonder which is worse. Misspelling OPPOSITE or DROOL?

I don't think it's all that appropriate for one's spouse/gf/bf to check out members of the opposite sex; mainly because it will usually make one's mate feel inadequate no matter how confident or successful they may be. I realize that everyone has eyes and that you can't prevent anyone from looking, but if my gf (fortunately, I'm currently single) broke her neck trying to check out some other guy that she clearly found highly attractive, I'd consider ending the relationship. Why? Because I've been around long enough to know that usually indicates that she'd cheat on me, or at least entertain the other guy's advances, if I weren't there (I don't trust women because I've hooked up with a lot of women in relationships and know how many of them are if they don't think they'll get caught).

In terms of my gf checking out someone of the same sex out, I'd be perfectly fine with it because I believe that most women are bisexual by nature and that finding a truly straight woman is rare. Also, women like to observe other women for reasons that have nothing to do with physical attraction.

As for someone else checking out my spouse/gf, I'd be perfectly fine with it because it proves I have something they want, but won't get (hopefully.. lol), and that I did a good job of selecting a mate.

Do we get upset? Heck no! We point out the eye candy to each other. It really isn't lust, anyway - more like appreciation of a gorgeous sunset.

If you "did a good job of selecting a mate" based solely on looks, you may have trouble keeping a mate in the future. Good luck though.As for me, I will never stop checking out women. And I dont care if she checks out dudes. I wont be real overt about it if we are together. But DAMN! Women are SO FINE that I just cant help being the pig that I am! But hey! At least I'm an honest pig!

I'm assuming you'd be fine with her cheating with another woman, preferably with you as well. Is it because it doesn't involve penetrative sex, or it doesn't threaten you as much?

It's just not as threatening because, as a guy, I don't view women as my competition. I wouldn't have a problem having a bisexual gf/wife as long as she wasn't messing around with other guys.
