If the "girls" are in the kitchen, that's where I am. I do not call , hang out or joke with any men, other than my DH, dad or brother. I don't want DH calling, hanging out or joking with other women other than his mom (he has no sister). Does that make me insecure? Nope. It makes me respectful. My DH & I have boundaries. If I don't want him to do it, I don't & vice versa.

My DH could think a friend is attractive, but he keeps it to himself. He doesn't gawk or comment. If I see a younger more attractive woman, "holding court", I think "good for her". I know my husband isn't there & doesn't care.

If your husband is gawking or part of the "court", your problem is with him disrespecting you & your marriage. Spend your time /energy to fix that instead of hating a younger, more attractive woman. And guess what? The longer you are married, the more younger, better looking women are around,

BTW As a natural DD, I wear the "matronly" look shirt to AVOID gawking & rude comments. I wear a bikini in my home hot tub now that kids are out of the house - not to the public pool. I wear fitted, sexy clothes for my 6 ft 2, 250 lb weight lifting DH, not with family & friends. I'm not interested in being sexual attractive to other men.

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?

Ideal woman for all men on the planet, actually.

hm.. so when men say they like Asian women, that's a fetish, but a blonde white women is considered "ideal" worldwide? OK.

In most of my circles, as soon as couples get together it splits intro Mom group and dad group. Sometimes that's great, and sometimes I want to talk to the dads, too.

There is a reason for that. Women do not usually trust the woman who insists on talking more to a/the dad/s. Women notice, men notice - it is not a good look.

So it's a better look to be a suspicious cow?

I get this a lot b.c I am a happily married woman who actually likes football. If I start talking to DH's buddies too much...all the wives start freaking out. Pathetic.

You do know women like football too, lol!

What a sad way to live. You can’t talk to other men in group social settings and are suspicious of those who do? Must be exhausting going through life so incredibly insecure.

I am not talking about myself, I am talking about my observations. There is nothing "sad" about how I live, though you might wish otherwise.

I’m confused. So you ARE one of those women who talks to both genders including (gasp!) other people’s husbands at social events, and you also think it’s “not a good look” and men and women should split into separate groups instead? Which is it?

It is not a good look for anyone to throw themselves at someone else's spouse. You are an adult. Act like one.

I work with someone like that - the guys love her! She is not what anyone would call a conventional beauty - she is petite, light eyes (not buggy - some blue eyes look bug eyed to me), light brown hair, well dressed (conservative and business like), natural looking, but striking. I also know a blonde who is thin and authentic looking but pale - honestly, I think the former is much more attractive, but the guys who fawn over the latter don't seem to get out much LOL. In either case, I don't think she does anything to discourage it.
