Going outside to fight is not a dominant trait. Dominance does not equal violent or aggressive or stupid. Dominance is about being assertive and considerate of the person you are with.

i hate stupid fights. and i also denoted that i don't want him to go outside and fight. i just want him to strike once because some perverts deserve this. if i had enough power,i would strike him before my boyfriend does i'm not "stupid" and nobody can touch me if we don't do this, this maniac will do this again and again. he needs a punishment and i LOVE to be patronized.Striking may be a wrong behaviour but i LOVE to feel that my boyfriend overreacts to people who hurt me. And this is not America

I've been in similar situations and each time they had a different outcome.

Last year we were at a crowded NYC restaurant/bar (STK for locals) where a guy waited for my husband to leave, he approached me, had some questions, he was polite enough so I answered him (I have no reason to be mean to people unless they're inappropriate right away) and the next thing I knew he had grabbed my face and kissed me. The guy took off before I even knew what happened. I looked up to see my husband's face at the bar and he was pissed. Rightfully so. Unfortunately because of the crowd there was no way of him getting to me or finding the guy afterwards (not that there would be much to gain anyway.)

Another time my husband and I were walking through a club and I was leading the way (I knew where I was going, he didn't.) A guy leaned down to say something to me. My husband thought he said something rude/mean, so he gave the guy a hard shoulder in the chest (my husband is 5'10" and the guy had to be 6'5" or so.) What my husband didn't realize was that the guy was just paying me some compliments and the guy didn't realize I was with my husband (probably because of the height difference and it was crowded.) The guy apologized to my husband. The was the one and only time I've ever seen my husband get physical with someone in regards to me. It's also one of the reasons why I remember the situation so vividly.

Otherwise my husband just says "Move along" when he returns and they apologize and leave. Other than the dude kissing my face, I can't imagine a guy saying inappropriate or sexual things to me, let alone touching me.


But I am always shocked how guys wait for my husband to leave and then approach me. It was pretty common when we were dating, but I figured my rings would keep them at bay. I was wrong. Sometimes I don't know if I should take it as a compliment or take it as an insult.

It just happens sometimes. Like I said many posts back, some guys just like to see if they can get away with it. That guy kissing you would have made most men p*ssed. I think your hubby had every right to be. We aren't hotheads all the time, but dammit, leave your hands off my SO. I remember one time I was at the bar with my sister and some of her girl friends. She had to hit the ladies room so I followed as she was a bit snookered! lol Some guy before I could catch up to her grabbed her wrist. She yelled for me and told him to FO! He didn't, so I shin scraped his shin with my boot. The b*stard let go then and didn't want any more. Flirting is one thing but grabbing and not letting go is another thing all together.

Why the hell would I need my husband to do anything?

This is about me...it's not about HIM.

Funny how men are so quick to make things about them.

If some dude is being inappropriate, I will tell him to step off myself.

We're just there in the shadow to make sure he DOES! That's my only gripe in this whole thread. When someone overpowers you or you NEED the help. I know if I was a gal and some guy was practically trying to feel me up or rape me, it would sure feel welcome for "your man" to come grab him off and twist his arm behind his back. Thank God!!

Does anyone in this thread know what a shin scrape is? It hurts really-really BAD and I bet his shin looked like hamburger afterward. He let her go immediately with a whimper!

An interesting thread, would be to reverse the roles. Most guys would love it if a hot, semi hot woman touched their leg, or made sexually explicit comments.....most women certainly wouldn't just a evil look when they found out, as many have voted. Ahhh the differences in gender.
