Head turned

[BeMauveOrca]

I have a need for a female perspective on a situation I find myself in.

for context, I have been with DW for 20 years, but over the past couple of years it has been purely platonic.
here’s what’s started to do my head in. A mum at one of my son’s sports clubs has taken a beeline to me. It started with a friendly smile and hello, but has progressed to her insisting on walking back to the car park with me and our respective children in tow. This happened again yesterday and I couldn’t get her out of my head last night. Am I reading too much into this?

You what?! 😳

Op must think hes gods gift or something

It’s because you’re special. You’re so handsome and clever and wonderful that after a couple of conversations this woman has decided to blow up her own life to start an illicit affair with a married man. That’s how amazing you are.

Or she’s just having a chat.

Another creepy man risking his dw’s health.

I don't understand the point of the thread. You want us to tell you whether the reason she's talking to you more is that she's attracted to you? Maybe. How would we know? But so what if she is? Unless you are planning to have an affair (don't), why would it matter what this woman's motives for talking to you are?

The OP quoted by a PP in saying he is sleeping around a lot despite being in a relationship and there is no suggestion knows and agrees with the situation. It’s the cheating which is grim.

I feel silly for even pointing this out, but I hope nobody thinks this is just another example of how all men are. 'Creep mode' is an individual setting for a chosen few, I promise.

When I worked in a shop company policy was to say hello to each customer as soon as practicable, the AMOUNT of men who you could see thinking “wow this young girl wants my body” was insane.

Luckily at 48 I go under the radar, it’s bliss. Utter bliss.

Oh really, so the sex in their marriage is 'boring' and they've drifted back to ons. How pathetic.Now they're hoping that a mum is coming onto them 🙄.

Fix your marriage or end it 1st before thinking about other women

FFS, we don’t need men to tell us anything. 🙄

Men on mumsnet explaining to women how men are, is the definition of creep.

And you’re another man who hangs around the sex board I see. 🤢

That's perfectly fine. No need to get so combative over something so trivial. If you scroll back, there is the occasional "Is this what all men are like?" type of comments, it was just a little remark to something like that. If you don't think that, great. But I would ask you not to put me in the same "creep" box as OP just for daring to post a throwaway comment on a thread.

You’re firmly in that box. 🤢

Agree.

This thread did not need a man telling us not all men are like that. In fact, no thread does.

Just read his posts. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

It’s very odd that these blokes hang around mumsnet sex and relationship boards. And tell us that they’re good men. Ick

@StartMiddleEnd
Oh no. A random person on the internet decided - without knowing anything about me that yup, I am firmly in the creep box. Well, I guess it's final, then, not much to do about it.
While we are at the subject of creepy - I am not the one between the two of us who went out of their way to check the other person's user name to find anything to weaponise in a dead argument. But hey, good for you.

"And you’re another man who hangs around the sex board I see". You got me. I guess sex is something to be embarrassed about. Oh no, wait. I do hope you are inclusive enough to think that all the women over there are creepy, too. Or is it just the men? Again, I guess, you got me.

@Weareeee
Ok, jesus, I get it. Why make it sound like I went "sit down ladies, let me tell you how the world works?" It is a free to use forum for anyone, if you don't think something is relevant to you, I thought nothing is simpler than to just, scroll past, ignore it? You know that annoying ad that pops up when you are trying to watch a movie and it is not relevant to you? same deal.

@10YearsAgo
Assuming much. I like healthy conversations and exchanging thoughts. But thanks

Yikes, the man is angry.

far from it. surprised, rather.

So many men who are creeps on mumsnet and the mask always slips. They realised that the sex board is mostly men wanking so they invade the relationships board.

Well said.

and that would be me, based on me saying that not all men think like OP. is that correct?

Urgh go away. The utter male entitlement to come on a message board called MUMSNET and tell women that NAMALT. You should be ashamed of yourself but alas, I know that the concept of shame is practically nonexistent in your sex.

FFS - this is why it’s not a good idea to even look at any random man - they all thing women who even acknowledge their existence are gagging to shag them.

@exhaustDAD I don't think you sound like a creep based on anything here or the simple fact you've posted on the sex board (although I've not looked at what youve posted there)

Man 1 thinks a woman wants to shag him because she’s slightly friendly towards him. Dismisses any posts talking about improving his relationship with his wife.

Man 2 feels the need to tell us namalt and is immediately angry and surprised when people aren’t grateful for his input.
