Flirting with other guys?
At times while doing random activities (eg. groceries, running, hanging out in town, drinking in a bar, etc.), it happened that young female strangers flirted with me even though they were in a couple, while the other guy was nearby. This doesn't happen to me all the time of course, but it definitely happened on occasions and I can assure that these girls really were flirting, sometimes even in an overly obvious way.
A lot of times, it seemed like the couple were having an argument or the girl was dissatisfied with her man. One time while running shirtless in my neighborhood during the summer, I saw a couple coming out of a car in the near distance. The girl seemed pissed off at the guy (ie. ignoring him, displaying an upset face), as if the couple just came back from somewhere and the guy hasn't been up to the girl's expectations. As I approached them and eventually passed by them, the girl noticed me and started ogling me in an excessively apparent way, leaning on the car with her hips placed in a provocative way, while smiling at me and turning her head as I passed by her; the guy just observed the scene with a 'what the fuck!?' attitude. I swear, I'm really not making this up and the girl obviously made sure that her flirtatious attitude would be noticed by her man.
Similar experiences occurred in my life where the girl was obviously trying to upset her man, and I've been wondering if most women have a tendency to provoke such jealousy when they're in the middle of an argument. I've talked about this with some of my female friends, but I'd like to read the opinions/experiences from women here.
- Are you guilty of doing this at times?
- Do you do it frequently?
- What's your intent when acting that way?
Personally, the girlfriends I've been with never did that to me, or at least not in such an apparent manner. Some of them provoked 'slight jealousy' at times (intentionally or not), but it wasn't necessarily in the midst of an argument and was only some kind of 'healthy jealousy'.
Anyway, I must admit that being 'the other guy' can be quite amusing in these situations; for some reason I seem to be an easy target for that kind of schemes. The flirtation is generally so obvious that I almost feel in a cheesy Hollywood movie. At times, I did willingly participate in the girl's scheme, although other times it was awkward even for me (for example when her man was much bigger than me).
Thanks for sharing!
