[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those of you who are saying "we don't allow" this, just know that you aren't actually accomplishing anything. [b]When I worked in corporate America and then the government, every single day, a different co-worker whose wife "didn't allow" him to have friends of the opposite sex took me out to lunch.[/b] Mind you, I wasn't looking to do anything with these co-workers, and these were just friendly lunches, but I could not for the life of me believe how many of them had wives who "didn't allow" friendly relationships with single people of the opposite sex. In a sense, it made these guys seek out those friendships even more, even though it never went anywhere past friendship. If you all trusted your spouses more and didn't restrict them, maybe they wouldn't actively seek out such friendships - not that I personally think there's anything wrong with single and married folks being friends.

These men were all very sweet, always respectful, kind, and I always told them they could do so much better than their controlling spouses, because they really could. Even when you are married, you do not own another person. You cannot police their lives and tell them they can't f'ing have friends. That's out of control. The sooner you learn this, the better off your marriages will be.

But wouldn't your time be better spent with eligible men?  Why the constant luncheons with married men?  M[/quote]

Corporate America job, for whatever reason, my employer never hired single straight men. Ever. They actually actively avoided it. And in the government, it was an all female office, neighboring offices mainly had married men who I got to know at the gym and coffee shop, so we'd grab lunch. Evenings and weekends are always reserved for dates with eligible men.

For those who called me single forever, single by choice is also a very real thing. I exited the dating market when I left my government job to start a small biz and I'm only just now re-entering it. I wanted zero distractions so I could build and grow my biz, so I basically took a vow of celibacy. This December will be 3 years of no dating and no sex, but now that my company is where I want it to be, I'm opening the door to dating again. Not everyone's goal is marriage and kids.[/quote]
