WHO CARES if it's flirting or f*cking?? It's disrespect, either way!

It sounds like you want a snappy comeback for your friend to use, when in reality the MAN is supposed to handle a handsy woman. Otherwise the women will just get into a Springer-style hair-pulling session.

Your friend has to live her own life and set her own boundaries. She can't keep taking you along to work as her bouncer, and you're too old to be "putting someone in their place" anyway. You're supposed to be past this now.

Let her let this guy go. What a mook.

You do not "put a woman in her place".

Try to understand, there is simply no way to do that without coming across as insecure, irrational, immature and gauche.

Here's a tip...work on developing a classier style. You'll feel empowered and you will also attract better quality men
Not talking about me here. And I may come off as drama online, you're entitled to your opinion, but in person I come off very classy. I carry myself well and I do not look like trailer trash, I am far from it. This is about my friend. I think she does need to say something. It is not drama to stand up and speak up for yourself. Should she just walk away with her tail between her legs? I think not.

Oh he's a piece of work and I cannot be at the party to help her. Otherwise, I'd handle it for her in a tactful manner.

It's not your job to handle it.

I think a reply for the woman causing the problem is the kind of thing that should be thought about ahead of time.

If the man does it he should say it out loud directly to her in a serious but simple way so she gets the message. something like - "My wife and I find your comments disrespectful of our relationship, please stop "

The woman might want to just lean in her ear and say " back off skank , nobody messes with my man "

That is funny. I'm advising her more along the lines of a question, such as do you think getting so touchy feely is appropriate knowing we are in a committed relationship? Or you know it's not nice to be so touchy feely with my man, you wouldn't like it if you had a boyfriend and someone behaved that way with yours, would you?

Well one thing I learned a long time ago, is that women expect men to handle rejection and not miss a step, BUT women get all bent out of shape about it. The man, as all you say should handle it, probably knows this. If he rejects her, all bets are off and she likely will seek revenge. She'll probably claim he was the one flirting and making advances. Who knows, but I've been down this road many times, even with a supervisor early on in my career and she turned on me personally and professionally. Some men feel trapped into letting the game go as they feel they have no choice. and yes, some men enjoy it, in fact probably most.

Women have a way of spinning things in ways you don't see coming. They are emotional, unpredictable and I suggest for his job and relationship he handle it slowly and wisely.

They do not work together. Just have friends in common and you could say are friends themselves. I told my friend he likes the attention and is not likely to speak up. That is why I think she should have some things to say so she is prepared. Women are emotional and that can be seen as weakness. She needs to appear strong and confident. (and not date a mook like this but she has already decided she wants him.)

Ok so you said what was on your mind to your friend. That's it, why are still going on about this situation? It is none of your business at this point. How she needs to "appear" is none of your concern. Don't you have things to work on in your own life?

No, I am in a situation where only men I'm not interested in want me. I know I'm pretty messed up myself, at least that's what I'm told, so I question why they want me. But I don't really care. I just feel bad for my friend. If women stuck together and didn't behave like this men wouldn't get so out of line. (Some men), just a general rant. Women sabotage each other. But I guess that's another post.
