Eyeing Up Other Women

Now this isn't a huge problem, but a very annoying one.

When were out shopping, DP will blatantly look at other women. I know the type he likes and if I see them coming I watch him to see his reaction. (Which is too unashamedly look at them)

Which he then denies!!!!!!!!!!!

This has lead to rows as at the time it makes me feel like shit when I'm dressed like a tramp with no make up.

Iknow that everyone looks etc but a little discreetness wouldn't go ammiss here. (and respect)

Does this wind anyone else up?

(Or am I an insecure wreck )

I'm torn between the feeling sleazy but also thinking 'yep, i've still got it'

two negatives do make a positive ( in maths so i am told)
with that in mind - i would start mentioning nice looking guys.

"oh them jeans look nice....on HIM"
" oh i this HIS hair is nice"

you cant do the look thing - he wont notice.

nova, its not true that everyone looks. I didnt when I was married.
Its not the looking so much, its the fact that he isnt even bothering to hide it. Thats what I would find disrespectful. At least he could be a bit subtle about it.

tbh doesn't bother me at all, as I know DH wouldn't do anything he's only looking, and he knows I do it, we just don't make a huge thing of it.

however as it's an issue for u it needs ot be addressed.

Not only do I know that dh likes looking at good looking women - but I point them out for him! .

he does the same for a particualrly good looking bloke for me .

He doesn't lear though, he just "notices" someone (don't think they woould even realise) and might comment afterwards to me - but I know his taste and would normally have noticed her myself.

Have to say it doesn't bother me, as he is always telling me how much he loves my body and how he thinks I am the best looking woman he knows!

We also both "notice" the not so nice ones (I'll probably get shot down in flames for this!), eg the really fat mutton-dressed-as-lamb woman with extremely low slung hipster trousers and rolls of white flash dangling over and a thong visible.......

I remember reading somewhere that it's like looking at cars: the man might be perfectly happy with his current car, but it doesn't stop him looking at a Rolls Royce, even though he would never buy one!

PB - oooh DH pulled a woman like that when we went out once - I was sat tehre (big group of friends) she wouldn't leave him alone even thou he'd said in not so nice terms 'pee off' I thought it was hysterical thou as not his cup of tea at all. (he's not lived it down since). not sure i'd like it so much if she was young and model like thou.

I think myself and Dh are weird, we both eye up other people all the time but then again we talk about it to each other e.g.
'Wow, he is gorgeous!'
or
'Now there's a good looking lass'
It is that tame though! I'd think we were weirder if he mentioned the size of the other 'lasses' boobs to me!!!
I enjoy looking but that's all it is, as he's my best friend I tell him
If you have voiced displeasure in his gazes though then it is a bit off for him to continue regardless and so obviously!

.... I wish I were young and like a model....!
