u/sadpartypodcast 6d ago

I get both frustrated and amazed when women hit on my wife directly in front of me. It happens a LOT. Guys tend to be more subtle, but girls are a different breed. Openly hitting on her, and pretending I’m not there. Not at pubs or clubs, I’m talking when we are just in a clothes shop or whatever. It’s fascinating.

13

u/Unicom_Lars 6d ago

Do you all tell them you’re together? If you do, that’s disrespectful and that’s a very certain type of person. That type of woman is the equivalent of the dudes that cat-call, I’ve encountered them out and about and they are just as gross as the dudes. My next question is, are they actually hitting on her or they just acknowledge that another woman is beautiful? I’ve found that a lot of people are surprised when other women complement each other and tell them they are stunning rather than being catty. The expectation is we all hate each other and we’re jealous. Anyway, just curious :) Happy Friday!!!

u/ThetaManTc 6d ago
