How do you let the world know your taken when someones tryin to flirt er hit on you? 2 days, 2 states, 2 BK's... an I've been hit on by a gal in each of em... today.. the gal musta stood there cleanin the same spot for a good five minutes! Boy howdy that cabneit was clean! Le'me tell ya.

Both times, I sit there on my left elbow burger in my left hand, four fingers to one side an thumb on the other that way my ring is wavin jes as proud as can be. But at the same time.... I'm startin to git my ego stroked a bit here ya know. I mean I must "Got it goin on!" er sumthin like that. Who wouldn't want a short scruny lil booger of a feller that hadn't had a shower in four er five days, looks like hell jumped up an beat the snot outta em... I mean c'mon! LOL

It is a bit flatterin to have it happen, espeically so close to each other, yeserday an today.... hadn't told Sarah bout today, jes cause I ain't talked to er yet an I jes got back in the truck but I told er bout yeserday. So how do you let folks know your taken? I don't know if my hints were bein recieved cause she jes kept talkin an kept cleanin LOL

Well, if they strike up a conversation, I usually take the first opening there is to mention my husband.....but if they don't talk to you, I guess all you can do is wave around your wedding band & hope they get the hint!! :lol:

Just say something along the line like, "Yeah, my wife......" See if they get the hint. If not, then just flat out say, "Whatcha lookin' at! I'm married, yanno!" :lol:

Mentioning your spouse in your conversation may not make a difference if the pursuer has already chosen to ignore the fact that you're wearing a ring. :|

:nod: yep...good point...

I'm not sure if this is just an urban myth or not, but I've heard of examples where shady women are more intrigued by married men, than they are of single men. They consider it a bonus if they're sexy enough to lure a man out of a committed relationship and into their arms/bed.

Also, married men have more desirable characteristics, like stability and sense of honor.

Has anyone else heard this?

DWT

Seems like I've heard that also, an in alot of ways it makes sense. But even if I'd wanted to, to have touched either one of em woulda got me 20 years I think LOL

Guys still hit on my at college, and I'll be wearing a massive diamond ring. :unsure: :doh:

Back in my single days I was quite a maroon. I knew about wedding rings, but until I met my wife, I didn't even know which hand they went on. :doh: I would chase women, they'd be waving that hand and finally say, "Hey, ya moron, I'm married!"

Maybe they're stoopid, too!

I've also been given to understand that women will go after married men because there's (supposedly) no commitment involved. Pure sex. He won't leave his wife, so you don't have to worry about playing girlfriend. A sort of everyone gets what they want situation.

Some "sense of honor" if they disregard their vows!

I think that's exactly it, honestly.... I just have to start talking about my husband and baby and then you can SEE a shift in their being, they sort of look awkward for a minute but then they start talking more "respectfully" .... its really an interesting study of human behavior, honestly!

Honestly, all a woman has to do is start talking about her "kid", and you'll see just how quickly a guy wants to make an exit.

Surprisingly not all... I've watched at my college girls with babies on their lap, and a guy nearby obviously flirting.... it depends on the "subculture" let's say.... a baby on lap could mean "loose" and to some that's a quality they're interested in

DWT

Yeah the days of havin a baby detoured guys... now it jes means she puts out, how sad is that?

When I was in the Navy, a friend of mine wouldn't have anything to do with a woman that didn't have one or two kids tagging along. He married into a ready-made family and is perfectly happy.

Well, A2J...only thing I could think of that MIGHT work is to drag your own wife and kid along....have Sarah hang all over you and set Kat on your lap...make it a big FAMILY event. :lol:

Yeah - take 'em to Naples! :whistle: Or that place where they kill people in Ontario - I hear it's close to Lena's house...

We had a problem a little while back where this woman would call my house to see if my husband needed a ride to meetings. It was the stupidest thing I'd ever heard. She doesn't live near us. He drives EVERYONE else to meetings. And he doesn't call her, she calls him.

My DH tried to be nice. But I told him that to some women, being kind was a signal to continue. So I finally got her on the phone and told her to knock it off. She told me she was married (I knew she was separated and filing for divorce but couldn't say so) so I told her that she knew damn well that didn't matter. She finally got it, and moved on. But what a pain in the butt that was!

Wow, that's pretty surprising!!
