Dear Sam~
What do men think about a married woman who flirts with other men?
My opinion has changed over the years. Like men, I believe women have a right to have fun, as long as they don’t hurt anyone in the process. What you’ve got to understand is that men and women don’t stop finding other people attractive when they are married. It is simply that they have decided to reserve themselves for each other. Therefore if flirting is done under the knowledge that the woman knows it’s just fun and the man knows it’s just fun, then I have no problem with it.
Where flirting becomes a problem is when the man wants an affair and the woman wants an affair too. Marriages are very precious and if a man doesn't want to be married then he should be honest with his wife and get divorced and the same applied to women. In my opinion if he or she considers having an affair, then he or she can't be too dedicated to their marriage. From the woman's perspective, she should also realise the flirting is just for fun and realise there's little chance of convincing a guy to split with his wife, even if they do have an affair. So overwhelming I believe both people should realise that the flirting is just for fun and should not be taken to another level.
I wouldn’t say I find married women particularly attractive, in fact I would go as far as saying that I find married women less attractive, simply because they are married. Actually watching a married woman flirting with another guy seems a bit creepy to me and also a bit sinister, but I think that's just a perception I keep to myself.
I usually have to step back and judge what their ulterior motive is with flirting. I don’t particularly want to have sex or threaten the marriage of a married woman. I also don’t want to lead her on and leave her hurt when I reject her. I would try and judge why she flirting, is she flirting for fun, is she flirting because she really likes me, is she flirting because her relationship is boring, is flirting because she’s unhappy with her husband, is she flirting for her ego, so I would try and work that out. So there is a lot of things for me to judge.
Depending on what answer I come up with on her intentions, depends on whether I’d flirt back. |
