My wife is a people watcher-no problem there. She notices people whenever we're shopping or out in a public place. What I find peculiar is that she often makes eye contact, mostly with other men her age or younger it seems (I haven't noticed it with females or senior citizens). By this I mean she actually makes eye contact with guys that she's passing by in the store or mall, and they guys usually seem to notice, because sometimes one will actually say hi to her or at least they exchange smiles. She says she's just being friendly as she doesn't know these guys. I think most people try to avoid eye contact with strangers, especially married women with strange men, but maybe I'm wrong. Is this just a form of innocent flirting? I mean they're not striking up a conversation or exchanging phone numbers (at least when I'm there ). On the other hand I feel a little put out. It's like she's out with me but happens to notice them. I think most men view a women making eye contact with them as a form of interest or flirting but she disagrees. Is this normal or typical and nothing to worry about, or is it something I should be concerned about?

Yes, exactly! She IS out with YOU. She goes home with YOU. She goes to bed with YOU. No worries. You think she is going to cheat in front of you or something? ha ha
Is she otherwise devoted to you?? Because if there are not other issues than it most likley is innocent. I am guilty of the same thing....I mean common, we're married....not dead. It's human nature, men look at women....women look at men....as long as there is no touching involved.
Sounds like she is very friendly and outgoing......just a personality type.
I make eye contact with most people (except the one's I don't want to engage in any dialog with). It's not flirting. I do it mainly to acknowledge the person standing in front of me.
I being a very happily married female, can honestly say that I never do this. Whether alone or with hubby. People watching is one thing, eye contact, smiling, and saying hi, not for me.
To be honest, I don't even notice men at all. Just thinking about it made me realize that if a good looking man passed me, I wouldn't even know it. I guess I have my good looking man and no one else matters. We've never been the "look, but don't touch." type people. We are very happy in our marriage and really don't notice anyone else.
We people watch sometimes, but not like this. It's a quick glance and that's it. No one would even know. Oh and it's not over good looking people. It's usually something strange that stands out that catches our eye and probably everyone else's eye that is in the place we are at.
I happen to agree with you. Random attractive men making deep eye contact with me is usually a sign of flirting and attraction....I'm one of those pretty gay guys that gets looked up and down a lot.
Also I noticed a pastor's wife giving me the eye one time at church lol.........it looked like she wanted to get it on.......never went back to that place..
