I've never lived in n France but this sounds ideal. I miss being able to talk to men b.c of jealous wives.

Doubtful they've lived in France, lol. No one thinks you shouldn't talk to married men, that's ridiculous. Flirting and trying to have relationships not work related is what was said.

I want to have non-work related relationships with men outside of work. My DH'S friends specifically. They are fun! But if I try to talk to them...there's drama with the wives

If you're wanting to do stuff without your DH, or their wives isn't that kind of tacky. Of course that's frowned upon. Do couples like most married people - nothing wrong with that.

Geez. Women can have male friends. They might have sexual tension. More likely, there’s something friendly there... and it’s not on the lifetime channel of topics.

They’re just friends. They get a long. They enjoy talking on topics of common interest.

The other moms know if she is a cat in heat, on the prowl, OP.

Even if I go and join the men on the deck at a couple's party, with my DH get mean-mugged and they have to come and hug all over their husbands. I guess I'm supposed to sit with the basic women and talk about the Kardashians

That's not a big deal, but you should let the guys do what they want among themselves. There's a reason guys and women separate at dinner parties. Don't be rude.

Sometimes we see guys that were MY college friends! I've known them since I was 19! And yes I want to rag on them when the Caps lose to the Pens. (DH and I met in college so we have the same friends.)

And the other group of friends were DHs work friends from right out of college and I've known them way before they got married!!

But I shouldn't talk to them????

There’s a reason women make less for the same job. We’re networking. Not trying to bag your dude. And we don’t care about Real Housewives.

We see each other at various school events, pool/swim team, neighborhood get togethers, and scheduled backyard barbecues and date nights. It has become glaringly obvious to me over the last year or so that all the men are attracted to this one woman who is just another mom in the circle. I don’t really get it. I mean, she is pretty and one of the youngest in our group, but I wouldn’t think of her as a bombshell type. She is blonde, very thin and fit, but while she has some shape from working out, her breasts are very small. She is very nice and smiles a lot, but I would not say she is flirty. Meanwhile, I notice all the men practically falling over themselves to talk to her, be close to her, I see their stares, etc. It’s almost embarrassing, considering she is married and our kids all play together. What is the deal? Why would men be so drawn to her?

Your social circle could consider getting times shares in Stepford Connecticut ...

The dude who said he would take 100k pay cut for a fit wife - why stop there? For 100k you could buy a livery life-like Barbie robot who could be programmed to assuage your ego every sleeping moment and would not bother you with complicated emotional needs or challenging conversations.

It would not need to starve herself or run 5km a day to stay fit.

I've had this happening to me within my husband's circle of work couples. WAnd I'm not super skinny or abnormally fit. While husband liked the attention, it made me feel more than uncomfortable. I always go totally cold rock on these guys. Up to being rude. I will concentrate on the kids and befriend the wives only. I'm the girl that retreats to the kitchen or with the breastfeeding wife. Sisterhood. Don't care whether that is attractive or sexy. All I know is that it has gotten me some good female friends and compliments on my looks that I cherish more than cheap midlife crisis attention - by other attractive women. They aren't less attractive just because they are a few years older or didn't have my genetically blessing of boops staying up.

I grew up as the only girl in a very athletic family and I'm now in my late 30's and most of the people I compete with in golf and tennis are men, including my husband. I'm pretty tall and fit and according to my husband, pretty hot for a three time mom. Early on I'd get the evil eye from the other wives, especially if my husband wasn't playing, but over time they realized that I was there for the sport, not for their husbands. If any of the guys crush on me they don't give any indication and no one has yet slapped me on the butt after a good shot except my husband.

She smiles and is nice...

Attitude goes further than most woman think.
