Do married women or women in relationships sometimes flirt with other men?

[ale2003]

Im not talking about sex or physical touch, im only talking about a casual flirt with no deep meaning. Is it okay if it’s nothing serious or is it completely wrong?

[Finchie40]

Yes most of them do , it just comes down to her intentions as to why she is flirting in the first place and whether she is going to act on it or not? Flirting can be harmless and flirting can also be disrespectful as well. Just depends on how the person she is flirting with takes it? Or how her partner takes it? Flirting sadly can add fire into a relationship if their partner doesn’t approve of it , why it’s best not to flirt with other people , when you are in a committed relationship with someone , just because she thinks it’s innocent and harmless? It doesn’t mean her partner or the person she is flirting with looks at it that way. I watch a lot of true crime shows and a lot of murder cases that occurred , were because flirting got out of hand and taken the wrong way. Most people assume someone is flirting with them , when really they are just being friendly with them. This usually occurs when a girl is talking to a guy or a guy is talking to a girl , the opposite sex automatically assumes they are flirting with them instead of just being friendly with them. It sadly happens a lot. i experienced a shit ton of times when I am out in public having a couple beers at a bar just enjoying myself and striking up conversations with other people , if I strike up a conversation with a girl on a friendly level , her boyfriend or husband will automatically assume I am hitting on her and get pissed off about it. Sadly girls’ do this as well , when she notices her man talking to another girl. Pretty much everyone of my girlfriends through the years got upset if I talked to another girl , she automatically assumed I wanted to fuck her of I was hitting on her when that wasn t my intentions whatsoever. thinking to myself Damn I must be a pimp just from opening my mouth lol so most people are insecure when it comes down to relationships and just assume the stupidest things

I think, yes and no.
Yes - Some do intentionally, because just as with jobs it's far easier to 'stepstone' and trade than stand strong alone.
But also no - I think naturally when we as people get into relationships we get more confident and relaxed. This might make us more secure in ourselves and since we aren't looking for anything we might be more forward and yet blind to how it may look from the outside. Some women can seem 'easy' for being forward and some men can easily see what they want despite knowing they're taken, the thirst is real.

To some people their friendships either at work or even outside of it or even at school can be playful and sometimes border on flirtatious. A misconstruel of what's being interpreted by one person to another can signal to the other to start flirting and the other person not really recognizeing it as such. Sometimes what tends to happen is that situation gets the two people together and it creates awkward moments. There are times that even myself doesn't recognize when someone is flirting. It's a fine line.

[ale2003]

people in medical line of work have a habit of flirting with each other because work the long hours and are always together or at least that’s what i heard.

[osmanthus]

Suppose the same could apply to any workplace in which the employees get stuck there for a long time and short of not being able to 'horse around' casual (jokingly) flirting may be seen as a way for these people to bond platonically and make the hours pass by easier. I could probably handle a stale ale department but I would understand why some people get bored out of their minds and start talking in such way or how about talking smack? Meh. Management may take the lesser evil in this case and let them have their tootsie rolls if it means they're going to clock in over 8+ hrs.

[osmanthus]

Working in a hospital is oftentimes the most stale of environments, so, there isn't much time or patience for staff to be horsing around. Not that it's professional to 'horse around' on the job, generally, across all sectors but that the more likely opportunity to do so would be in jobs like medical reception work or a doctor's lunch break where patients don't see nor head them. I would know, I've seen and heard some funny crap when they thought I wasn't listening. Oh, well, such is life...

[dustybiker2]

I always went silent when I liked someone. I chatter with everyone.

[ale2003]

hmm interesting, so you don’t flirt?

[dustybiker2]

Oh, yes. There were just a handful of men who took the wind out of my sails when I met them. when I knew they liked me back it was on blast.

[ale2003]

nice, do you still do that or that was in the past?

[dustybiker2]

I have a high drive and a happy man. He knows i still go quiet with people I like too. We are programmed how we are. lol

[ale2003]

im glad you are happy. It’s okay to like someone or at least to me it’s okay.

[dustybiker2]

Thank you. I hope you are too.
I agree. Keeping that spark active is important.

[ale2003]

I am and thank you, it’s what makes us human i guess, really nice and interesting vibe you have there.

[dustybiker2]

Thank ye 😎

[dustybiker2]

Thanks for the MHO

[ale2003]

no problem honey, I enjoyed our conversation.

[ChillNsweet32]

Never because when I'm in love with a man he's the only one I notice, think about romantically and sexually... I'm not even exaggerating either. That's what being in love manages to do to me though 🤷‍♀️ I've had guys flirt or show interest and I'll be friendly but I won't flirt or reciprocate the flirtiness, it could be Brad Pitt for all I care, I just have zero interest in other men.

[IslaTheWitch]

it depends on the boundaries in your relationship... but if my man wanted to forbid me from flirting, we wouldn't be a couple :D

[ale2003]

what kind of flirting do you do? anything specific or?

[IslaTheWitch]

I just have fun, nothing explicit, no touching :D

[ale2003]

oh nice, just good old harmless fun, do u ever text those men u flirt with?

[dudegreat91]

@islathewitch do you like when your guy friends touch you while flirting?

[IslaTheWitch]

@dudegreat91 we don't flirt that way... friendship has different constraints

[IslaTheWitch]

if we know each other enough to exchange contact information, like phone numbers, then yes, why not

[dudegreat91]

@islathewitch yeah its usually harmless flirting in friendship with women who have boyfriend or husband

[dudegreat91]

@islathewitch would you also go clubbing and to bars with a guy friend?

[IslaTheWitch]

@dudegreat91 I do it sometimes, but we usually go in a bigger group

[ale2003]

damn that is very nice, maybe i have a chance to slide in those dm’s 😂😂

[IslaTheWitch]

nope

[dudegreat91]

@islathewitch that is cool

[Kayla45]

I’m married! All of my friends are also (for the most part) married wives as well! XD

The most we ever do is have a friendly conversation with other men, it never goes beyond that. Always wearing our wedding bands on our ring finger, making it pretty apparent that we’re married. Most guys respect that.

[ale2003]

oh yes, im glad you shared your point of view. Wedding bands aren’t really popular in Europe as much as in America so that’s something new…

[Kayla45]

I’m actually from Canada, but we are similar enough I suppose. Haha.

[ale2003]

Well Canada is in the north American continent am I right?😂 jk it’s similar like most european countries are hahaha

[coxoabean]

Yes, I see my married friends do it all the time

[ale2003]

oh really, what do they do?

[coxoabean]

Well, one of them talks all giggly and smiley, and all happy. Then they hug eachother. Smile at eachother. Gentle touches on the arm, things like that

[ale2003]

oh damn, what do you think about it? is it harmless?

[coxoabean]

Honestly I wouldn't do that. I think it's a little interesting and I'm not sure if it's harmless. I think it should be important to people to set boundaries and be careful when it comes to things like that, so as to avoid anything bad happening. It causes jealousy for the wife, or the husband and it's not really fair. But I don't know :)

[ale2003]

glad to hear your opinion, we are both young plenty so there is plenty to learn i guess😂

[dudegreat91]

@coxoabean that's kind of hot. Do your friends also go for clubbing or bars with other guys?

[coxoabean]

@dudegreat91 no, they don't

[coxoabean]

Yaaa

[dudegreat91]

@coxoabean I see, nothing wrong with harmless flirting I suppose. Friendships without flirting can get a bit dull

[coxoabean]

@dudegreat91 well, that's what can lead to people cheating and stuff. I was just saying it's my opinion. I've seen people flirt with other people and their husbands/wives were jealous, but they also never really get the attention that their partner is giving to others.

[dudegreat91]

@coxoabean I find it so hard to not flirt with good looking female friends of mine. Even when they have a husband

[ale2003]

im glad u shared your point of view honey

[itsannalee]

I don’t…
After i have relationship there is no men look better than my boyfriend in my eyes. So i wouldn’t flirt on any other man.


But there were some guy think that i flirt on him just because i answer his question on the chat. Like
“Where are you from?”. Etc
And got upset when i said i have boyfriend.


Sometimes men are delusional, just because a girl is nice and friendly to them, they think she is interested in them.

[SweetJoyGirl]

Personally, I wouldn’t.

People do, tho.

[ale2003]

fair enough

[patrick994]

Yes, a friend of mine told me that many married women were having sex or flirting with other men. These were mostly acquaintances or co-workers.

[Anonymous]

I've had married women flirt with me. I avoid it at all cost now. Flirting is what lights the fire adultery. It is wrong so I do all I can to avoid it now. There was a time where I used to fool myself into thinking it was ok.

[ProbablyClueless]

Lots of women do it. That doesn't mean it's okay in the context of their relationships, but it is something they do.

[jahaims]

Flirting is cheating. Seeking romantic and or sexual attention outside of a relationship is cheating.

[avery58]

If they're cheaters

[ale2003]

you think so?

[Twalli]

If she does it with full transparency that she's not going to do anything with him, I think it's okay. It feels goid when someone you find attractive flirts with you.

[PetiteMisSmooth546]

A aunt of mine like flirting heavily. FLASHING my friends, etc

[dudegreat91]

Your aunt seems to be fun :P

[DrPepper12]

There nothing wrong with flirting in general. Its validating and harmless.

[LiamJHayden]

Yes. As one said to me, "I'm wed, not dead."

[CubaPirate]

Absolutely it's a confidence booster for some

[Avicenna]

Yes, sometimes they do

[Anonymous]

Not good women.
