Personally, I revel in it. I wallow in it. I lay down in it and rub it all over my body. It tickles! It's good for the complexion. I'm in the gym the other day, training with a lady I occasionally date. Several guys are gawking. She's worth gawking at. They're clearly discussing the phenomenon that she is with me and not with them, and one, who thinks he's being quiet enough, grumbles, "What's he got, a gold-plated d___k?" So I sauntered by, leaned over and whispered, "actually, it's heat-treated steel."

Heat-treated steel ... so that is your secret with those pop-tarts

Damn ...

But I really couldn't resist.

Just so there's no ambiguity, I'm a guy, 35, happily married.

I have had women I know real well as friends (!) tell me that I'm good looking and that they notice other women looking at me all the time.

Me? I don't believe a word of it. I think I would notice at least once!

LianaLi, I think you missed the humor/sarcasm in ComestibleVenom's post that just made his point. But that may just be my interpretation.

I have many female friends, quite a few of them are extremely attractive. My wife knows and likes every single one of them...
Liana, it just depends on the guy, but I think you'll find there are plenty of nice (eek) guys out there that really are just interested in being friends....(or maybe we're already married??)

I have always had more female friends than male friends, and I have to admit, that some times it was an initial physical attraction that got things started (don't go there GD). But it was because we had enough common interests/things to argue about that kept us friends for so long.

As far as the whole jealousy thing goes, I don't think there's much you can do to affect other people's reactions, especially when they don't know you. I have to agree with brighid, just be who you are.

Now as far as your SO looking at other attractive people, as long as it's not over the top (like brighid's example) so what?!? My wife points out women to me all the time....just in case I hadn't noticed.

And I do the same for her. We are both very comfortable with who we are and in our relationship. But this may not extend so someone you are just getting to know.

And as for hitting the SO, I have to agree that this is a bad thing, regardless of gender. Unless it's a purely playful act. If it's even a little vengeful or out of anger, then refrain.

As another aside, I think all of us infidels could start quite the Martial arts dojo/dojang/what have you. I got my black belt in Tae Kwon Do about 2 years ago.

Cheers,
Lane

PS: Have you posted your pic in the rogue's galery yet, Lanai?? I'm dying to know now...
