Actually, no. I'm a mom and I find that I can't really be seen in a public space smiling deeply with a man because of how it can be percieved in my community.

Indeed such an action would diminish your considerable stature as a pillar of the community. You would be just like the Hoi polloi!

OP likely comes from a deeply misogynistic, religious culture. This is probably a better question for someone from your community who can better relate.

Right. Normal behavior but as the wife/mom why does this ever so slightly irratate me?



You are insecure. You have messed-up ideas that you have internalized.

There is a study that says men get a boost in testosterone being around young attractive women. It's a feel good hormone and he can't help it. Just biology

OK. Got it. You’re bringing 200lbs of your own baggage to the situation.

Yes, you should notice. Your DH is clearly banging multiple women on the side.

I've noticed that my DH perks up a bit when speaking to an attractive waitress or recently an attractive title agent. Does this bother anyone? I'm right there, he's not doing anything outrageous but I can see he's sitting up a bit taller and speaking a bit friendlier.

I understand we all can still look, we are not dead.

Do you care, should I care?
