I am utterly sick of being cracked onto by married men

I'm divorced after my own DH had an affair. I'm still young(ish) and go out regularly to bars/clubs/pubs.

I've lost count of the amount of men openly married (wearing rings) or pretending they're not married who have asked for mine or friends numbers all the way up to looking for a ONS.

I went out last night and there was a group of men on a school reunion 9/11 were married. 3 of them went home with other women, 1 of them was actually of fronted when I said what a fucking cliche he was because he's shagging some young office girl at his work.

I almost want to start a website where women can report these fuckers to their wives. The one I was talking to went into my phone and added held on my snapchat. I got a lovely pic this morning Hmm.

I'm afraid I'm becoming so cynical about men, I honestly can't see myself ever getting married again.

Just develop a steely glare OP. That guy taking your phone was totally out of order though.

The OW seems to get too big a kicking on MN, more than the husbands quite often.

AnyFucker, I wasn't saying it is complicated or rocket science.

I'm saying that I grow ever more cynical at ever believing a man can be truly faithful. I didn't blame the OW in my case. She didn't know DH was married, can't say I like her much but that was all on his head. Just like most of the wankers out last night.

It's not just the men, I've seen some pretty predatory behaviour by married women too. Opportunity plus alcohol makes quite a few marrieds start casting their nets.

Oh for goodness sake, people can behave very badly in some environments under certain intoxications. The OP came on to talk about her experience of married men. Can we not have a thread where there aren't posts saying "What about the womenz? They're just as bad!"

So what? It's no more noteworthy that women behave badly sometimes, just like men. Unless that is you expect women to be paragons of virtue.

OP are you going to pubs/clubs/bars in the hope of meeting single men? It's fair enough if you are of course, but if that's your sole objective then it's probably sensible to widen the pool you're fishing in and do this alongside other activities that single men might enjoy- like interest clubs or FE. If you meet a wider selection of men at a wider selection of activities, you're less likely to keep feeling this jaundiced.

If on the other hand you want a good night out with your women friends and want to talk to them/dance with them without men interrupting your conversations and assuming you're looking for male interaction, you all need to rehearse your 'We want to be left alone' speech. IME it really is men and not women who feel entitled to walk over to a group of women conversing, interrupt the flow of it and demand attention.

I was out at the weekend and we were approached by two married guys. We talked to them, went on to some clubs with them and said goodbye at the end of a fun evening. Are you sure all the married men are wanting to get their leg over? Perhaps they just want to talk, dance, have fun? I think that is still allowed, isn't it?
