One thing my mother always told me growing up was NEVER invite a single woman to be around your man. I guess the thought process is that given the right opportunity, she'll go after your man.
Add to that; single women traveling with married men on business trips. Big no-no.

Why, it's not that they are traveling together b/c they want to...there are people in my group who HAVE to travel together occassionally, and there has never been any hanky panky going on...ever. Traveling for work, is not a fun thing or what a lot of people think it is. You spend the entire day getting there, you grab something quick to eat, you may be in a meeting until late, and all you want to do is get something to eat, go to your room, kick your shoes off and sleep. It's all business...truly.

Maybe.

Traveling as a group would be ok.

business is business, and if you have a job where men and women work in the corporate field, sometimes travel as man and woman is a necessity...or, you loose your job. If you can't trust your husband or wife, why would you be married to him. Again, sometimes due to work, it is inevidable for the opposite sex, to travel together, doesn't mean there is anything going to go on? And, if your spouse is a person that is going to run around, they will run around regardless if they travel or not. If it's not in someone to do, they're not going to do it...no one, or no situation makes them do it.

that's what I was thinking. But forget the single woman, what the heck kind of quality of man are you with if you would even have to worry about something like that??? If you can't trust your man around single people, then you've made a very poor choice in a partner.

It's funny in a way though. Those guys are acting EXACTLY how hot girls (the shallow ones) act when they are younger. Constantly being pursued so they don't have to put forth effort, can act badly blah blah blah and expect people to take thier crap, buy them stuff etc etc.

Generally I think it's just poor character but for some of those guys, especially if they weren't in demand younger and were often rejected they might just think that's the way you play it when you are "popular".

True, and their self worth is tied up in how many women, especially younger ones, who will pay attention to them.

I think this is true to some extent. At least in my experience, I've noticed that some friends who are married or have an SO will invite me to shop and do things just with them or that involve a group of women, but don't invite me to dinner parties or to any functions where I would be in a social setting with their husband or boyfriend. Not sure why they are so protective, I don't go after other people's husbands. What a waste of time.

I guess it's fear....that either you will come onto their husband's or visa versa. People? I'm sorry you have experienced this.
