Anyway, any attention my girlfriend gets, I have no problem with. The minute they start buying her drinks or flirting, it turns ugly.
That's basically how I feel. You should only worry when guys don't check out your lady......but I never went for them being a bit more forward in terms of flirting or gawking.......that's another story altogether.

it upsets my wife (being treated like a object) it doesn't bother me unless its taken to an extreme and becomes more disrespecting her as a person and less about "just" the look.
she comes home to me, i have no reason to be angry, im the "winner" in the situation.

I guess it just doesn't bother me if some guy checks out my wife. I know where her heart is.

I suppose if it is a disrespectful gawking, I might be displeased.
LOL

I love that song!!

I guess the looking never bothered me because I am so used to it. Since the age of 14, men have always stared at me, especially my butt. Over the years I've learned not to pay any attention to men who are doing that--moreso when I was married or when I am in a relationship. I try to completely tune out the guys who ogle and make rude comments.

I like being noticed by nice, polite men, but not the ones who look at me like I'm a piece of meat.

^^^^ I agree with this 100%!

Attractive people know they are attractive and know they will be admired/stared at or talked to. If in a relationship then the mate needs to also know this. As long as it isn't disrespectful or rude then let them look. There should be a trust in any marriage or relationship in which you know where the other person stands, and how far they will "talk" or let things go.
I think it's so funny when people (men or women) get all upset and ready to whoop on somebody for looking at their mate. If they find your mate attractive, why wouldn't somebody else?!?!

Why? If your attracted to her, and love her... what difference does it make whether some random dude checks her out of not.

If it were just a girl you were dating would that make it ok?

Women:
Does it bother you if your Man does not say anything when other men look you up and down as described above in front of them? Or do you prefer your man to ignore it? Do you like being noticed by other men or you prefer to fly under the radar and not bring attention to yourself?
I probably wouldn't care. Men are going to do that. If you don't want other men looking at your woman, than get someone who is plain.

I can't speak for the woman though. A lot of women I know, would rather you hold your peace if it is just a look...

Whoa!!! 16 year old daughter?! How old were these guys?!

That's off limits!!!

Kids these days look a lot older than they are. When I was 14 we asked a waiter if he would card me or the 34 year old I was with first. He said he'd card the 34 year old first. :O and I had braces.

It's still inappropriate to hit on someone that young, for sure! But I can definitely see how it would happen. Girls mature faster! :P haha

Do you say something to them? No..
Or just ignore it Yes..
Or the complete opposite, do you like it No, I don't like it nor do I dislike it. When the evening ends who is it she'll be going home with? Me..
Do you get a kick out of other men wanting your lady? Nope..
Does it boost your ego to have a woman who is a trophy piece Nope, because I think of my wife as a person not something to boost my ego. I'm a man, not a 9yr old with a new bike.
or do you prefer one who flies under the radar? Dear God........ *sigh*

Nah. Whenever I saw a guy do this to any of my exes I'd just get her attention and give her a kiss. Then when they walked away or we were out of sight I'd let her know she was gettin' a stare down if she didn't know.
