question for DU guys

[datasuspect]

what goes through your mind if your wife/gf/so/lady/ol' lady/woman has attention paid to her from strange men or if you notice her flirting?

[Schema Thing]

1. You're poll is rather schizo

Those are two very different things.

[datasuspect]

2. schizotypal (as in personality disorder)

or full blown schizophrenic?

they are seemingly related, they both involve attention to or from persons other than the male party in a conventional man/woman relationship.

but what do i know, my "team" just modified my treatment plan.

3. It's a question of who initiated what.

I agree: two very different things.

[Schema Thing]

4. The difference between attention "to" and "from" is huge, to me.

that's all I meant.

[datasuspect]

5. oh, when you use a word like schizo ,i took it to actually mean

something related to a psychological disorder or illness. my bad.

[eyepaddle]

6. I guess it'd depend how serious it looked,

Back in "the day" I'd get really upset and very depressed (yes it was serious, she slept with at least one other woman and two other men that I know of)

I don't fall into self-destructive relationships anymore--at least not THAT dysfunctional, at any rate. My current SO just doesn't play games at all so when she flirts with friends she's known for years longer than she's known me I know it's just goofing around, hell I'll even join in occasionally.


Ah yes, sane relationships....

7. First, anger. Then I put them in a headlock...to ensure

that I understand their motives/intent. I might have misread them. Upon verification that they were, indeed, flirting with flvegan's better half, then the smashing commences.

Just kidding.

[eyepaddle]

8. Yeah sure,

you and what army?
























:P :rofl:

[LeftyMom]

17. Good think nobody ever flirts with your girlfriend, isn't it?

Uh, where is Tav, anyhow? :worried:

[ghostsofgiants]

9. I think "holy shit, I have a girlfriend?!"

[datasuspect]

10. dude, that's funny

you made me giggle. i feel like a little schoolgirl

[ghostsofgiants]

11. Sure, mock my perpetual singlehood...

:P

[datasuspect]

18. i can put on a wig

and be your "girlfriend."

we can play "jail."

[ghostsofgiants]

23. *swoon*

[Deep13]

12. If it is so obvious that I actually notice,...

...a get a bit miffed.

[hfojvt]

13. Other

What is this thing called 'girlfriend'?

[sniffa]

14. i get a camera

[datasuspect]

15. yeah, that's more my speed

better yet, get someone to film.

[bicentennial_baby]

22. ...

:rofl:

[HughBeaumont]

16. I'd probably notice more if she got paid attention to by strange women.

If men looked at her, it's not like either of us would care. She doesn't even care if I look at her with tongue.

[SteppingRazor]

19. Depends on the level of flirtation involved...

I think it's cool if someone buys her a drink or something. But if we're at a club and somebody walks up behind her and starts trying to grind on her behind, he's getting a punch in the nose.

[Pierre.Suave]

20. I think it would be impossible...

for other men to NOT find her attractive, she is Freaken BEAUTIFUL!

[datasuspect]

21. good answer!

[Pierre.Suave]

24. thanks

but its true.
