Some jerk tried to groped my fiance at a concert while she walked back to the seats through the crowd. He put his hand on her belly and started to move it up, while saying something distinctly rated "R". That kind of behavior is intolerable. She has quick reflexes and self-defense training though, I wonder if the guy woke up the next day with a hang-over and a broken thumb?

It is funny how a ring on the finger is seen as a challenge to some. I feel sorry for those kind of guys and gals. They remind me of predators, trying to capitalize on potential weaknesses in a persons current relationship. One woman tried to convince me I really wasn't happy, and she barely knew me and knew nothing of my relationship with my fiance. A former mutual friend tried to convince my sweetie he could fill "a void" he imagined existed in our relationship. Boy was he wrong. He was wise enough to keep his hands to himself and his mouth clean, to his credit.

Those people don't threaten me, they make me feel sorry for them. They have weak characters and low self esteem, typically, and aren't mature or responsible enough to handle a "real" relationship. The bigger the head to harder the fall, or is it the harder the head the bigger the fall? hmmm....

Hmm...let's look at the issue from a different angle. Maybe instead of trying to reason this out we'd help more by devising new strategies to hit on Memnoch's girlfriend, so that he could learn to better defend against them.

Your girlfriend's a pretty girl, Memnoch; men are bound to hit on her. If I were in a bar with you guys though, I think I'd try a two-pronged attack. I'd send in Tom, a good sport and flaming homosexual whom I count a good friend, to aggressively chat you up. THEN, in your moment of distraction I'd make my move.

Are you ready to defend against a strategy like that???

Some will see that as a challenge. It's a sport, see ? [/QUOTE]ahh, different culture see things differently. overhere where we are still very very " bao shou ". a taken girl would probably mean the girl has been touch, has been touch mean she is unclean. unclean means she will bring bad luck to other people who try to tackle her ( except her own bf ). which in turn is very very soi ( sorry I don't know the english word ) for the person (who try to tackle her) for the rest of his life. see?

Hmm, but what if you were just being nice and not INTENDING to flirt but the girl took it that way? That's what my fiance says happens to him alot of the time.

I guess I have got to the point where I trust him enough to know he isn't going to run off with some other woman who flirts with him, but I can understand your gf's attitude, Rikard! It makes us mucho uncomfortable if we see our guys flirting BACK with someone who hits on them, even if we know it's not serious.

Heck, I met my guy by flirting! LOL

I'm the jealous type. Definitely my hands would be with my girlfriend to let the dogs know she's with me. And if they do make a move I would first see how she would handle it. If she's too nice then I know it's time to end the relationship. That's just me. I would like the same from her since I am a one woman man. Very committed.

Don't think it strange if you take your nice GF/BF to a very crowded place, where drinking is going on, and either person won't be flirted with and hit on.. (you can see my vote Mem! ) Many have tried with my gf and if it gets out of hand I will smoothly put my arm around her,which instictively she does the same to me. That works 99% of the time when people have the better judgement about them. God luck! Remember you can't stop them from trying but you can break them of the habit real quick!

I'd lead your bloke on and get his hopes up, then I'd tell him that I didn't find him sexually attractive, and tell him that I found YOU sexually attractive. Then I'd start hitting on YOU. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

[/QUOTE]I think I can trust T more than that. I won't lie, a part of me gets pissed off when she does it, but by the same token I don't want to end up as some kind of paranoid control freak. Besides, she's a natural flirt anyway. As long as she doesn't give him her phone number I'm cool with it.
