Nice post Cas!casavant said:You hit the nail on the head concerning the disrespect issue. If someone is blatantly hitting on your girl with the full knowledge that the two of you are together, it's time to put them in check. No, I wouldn't have beaten the shit out of the coffee boy- I would have to be in the situation myself and see the exact dynamics of the interaction in order to make a call on that one.
The ones that really piss me off are the guys that have a hard-on for your girl but masquerade as "just friends". If you tell them to stay the fuck away, you risk being seen as a controlling bastard, which only helps the little fucker. I usually have a rational talk with these guys at first, but make it clear there will be consequences if I find out they're trying to move in. Some people say, "If you were secure with yourself it wouldn't bother you.". But that's not it. Even if it's some goofy little guy that wouldn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of getting anywhere with her, it's the fact that he is disrespecting YOU. And you know what? Some people like to fool themselves into thinking that humans are "civilized", that our capability for rational thought allows us to transcend the animal world, but believe me, we ARE still animals. When it comes down to it, you are still controlled by the more primal parts of your brain. What gets respect in the animal world? Physical dominance, pure and simple. If a guy is really going over the line- really stepping on my toes- he's going to get a little taste of it. I'm not saying I'm even going to do any kind of real damage to him, but he'll get some idea of what I could do. That's usually enough.

Not bad dude, I'm off to London workin' in a couple of days so I'm going to enjoy myself this weekend starting of course by chillin [I hope] with the bro's here at my favourite board!casavant said:Thanks, G. How ya doin', anyway?
diezel said:ummmm....yes thats true. becuz sometimes when you act like a tough guy and beat up a coffee shop clerk, you become a single guy.![]()
You just made a lot of sense there Ercole! Good post Bro!Ercole said:Hm ... what exactly did you think the coffee shop clerk was going to do, bone her right in front of you?
An attitude adjustment can really help here. Say you're out with your girl and another guy smiles and flirts with her. You can either become outraged at being DISRESPECTED -- or you can just realize your chick is hot and take it as a compliment.
I feel pride when other guys notice my girl and how beautiful and attractive she is. Makes me feel good because I know she's mine, not theirs.
Of course if it crosses the line -- phone numbers are exchanged or he gets pushy -- THAT'S disrespectful and not to be tolerated. But a little flirtation can be good for a relationship. It reassures your girl that she's still attractive to other guys, not just you. Allowing her to flirt a little makes it so she doesn't need to cheat to build up her self-esteem. I think in as healthy relationship a little flirtation on both sides should be tolerated -- it's a way of blowing off sexual steam so it won't build up and tempt someone to actually cheat.
Now turn it around -- if a gorgeous babe came up to you in a coffee shop and smiled and flirted a little, would you think your girl was right to blow up and smack her to the floor? Of course not! You'd tell her it means nothing, you don't even know the babe. If you want that freedom, you'd better be prepared to give it to your girl as well. Fair is fair.
A really desirable girl won't stay in prison forever. If you relax and let her flirt a little, it shows her you respect her and trust her not to go over the line.
It's fun to flirt with strangers from time to time! Enjoy it,and let your girl enjoy it, too. It can make yur relationship stronger and mroe trusting in the long run.
My two cents!
becuz than it looks like you think youre better than everyone else cuz youre bigger than them
