Men: do you want other men to check out your wife?

Asked by JLeslie (65452points) March 6th, 2012

When you realize other men think your wife is attractive, does it make you feel good? Do you feel proud? Or, are you pissed, maybe jealous? Or, possessive of her, and want the attention given to her to stop immediately? I am not talking about another man trying to pick up your wife, just a man admiring her, or complimenting her, or even telling you directly what a “lucky guy” you are.

Creepin’ on this thread. Great question.

I don’t actively desire it, but it’s cool to know it happens. Knowing some guy desires what I’m smashin’ every night. I don’t get angry at stuff like that. I’ve had guys hit on a girlfriend when I simply went to the bathroom, then I come back and I’m just like “Giggity….”.

Man, I could care less if another guy wants to check out my wife. Honestly.

Admire all you want. Don’t make her uncomfortable and I’m absolutely fine with it.

It’s not really pride. She is beautiful and I am lucky, so I don’t mind someone saying that. She’s heard it so many times from me, sometimes it’s good for her to have it confirmed by someone else.

Men are perpetually checking out women. I have no problem or concern at all with it. My wife is extremely easy on the eyes, so I wouldn’t blame anyone for taking an extra gaze or two. I’m not possessive either. What I am supposed to fear? That she will fall in love with some guy for complimenting her? If that’s going to happen, there’s nothing I can do about it. I hope my wife is with me because she wants to be – not because I have the ability to fight off attractive men with compliments.

I’m fine with it if you don’t bother my lady. She’s very shy, so as long as she’s ok with it no problem. She’s with me because she wants to be. Someone appreciating her isn’t going to change that.

My pseudo-psychoanalytical observation would be this:

A guy who is bothered by someone else checking out his wife is:

a) immature
b) insecure in his relationship

or both.

In either case, he has bigger issues than someone checking out his wife.

Men are going to check out my special lady whether I want them to or not, so I just take it with a silent smile.

This has been a point of contention in our household for some time.

Granted, there is a point at which it’s no longer appealing, but for her to dress up, perhaps show some skin… it’s nice. I like being the one taking home the babe others wish they were taking home.

I enjoy watching my wife as she receives the gaze of other guys. She casually pretends not to notice, but it is the perfect time for a compliment like: “Those guys were checking you out…I agree with them…you are hot!!”

I have no problem with harmless flirts.
