Waldo Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I get asked if I'm single more by men than women these days. It is a nice ego boost either way. Huh. I still haven't had that particular event occur. I think it would be quite flattering. Even just to be obviously checked out. Too much as of late I've come across women that don't care that I'm not single. That said, I do occasionally obviously check women out (complete strangers in safe public environments). I know the power of it as an ego boost, and as long as you're respectful about it (you can say a lot with your eyes and a smile), its a quick unspoken compliment and nothing more. Having it done to me was one of the major turning points in how I view myself, the first time was without a doubt one of the single most powerful moments in self-image in my life. I wish I could thank the young lady that did it. 2 Quote currently cutting battle log challenges: 21,20, 19,18,17,16,15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 don't panic! Link to comment
Nubbins McGee Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 ...oh and this is totally biologically cliche' but fighting (boxing, mma, karate etc. I'm guessing you've never actually dated a fighter. My wife would be happy to tell you just exactly how much attention she got when I had a fight coming up. In fact, if I came home and told her I had a fight in six weeks I'd get an extremely sarcastic "Great! I guess I'll see in six weeks. Then maybe you'll spend some time with me while your black eyes heal. IF you're not in the hospital." Three hours a day at the gym, running every day on top of that, strict diet, scheduled sleep, hurt from sparring, complete exhaustion, and "sorry hon, I can't go out tonight, I've got a fight coming up." Yeah... Fighter's wives and girlfriends (and husbands and boyfriends) will tell you fighters are extremely selfish when prepping for a fight. I didn't even like myself when I was like that. Then there is the whole watching someone you care about getting punched in the head thing. It would make her a total wreck. She was not shy about telling me about it either. I watched a newlywed friend of mind catch a hook one night that put him down cold and I immediately turned to his wife a few seats down who had to be held back by his parents. She looked like she was about to have a complete panic attack. There's her new husband, out cold 20 feet away and she can't go see how he is. Or ask my wife about the night when my trainer had to go and find her and he started the sentence with "Don't worry, he's going to be fine." That is not the way to start a sentence to someone who knows what kind of danger her husband puts himself into. (I was fine, just a broken nose. Not the first time, and probably won't be the last.) 1 Quote Did I offer advice in my post?

Silo Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 It is kind of gratifying to realize that somebody is checking you out. We went out to dinner last night and when the table next to up got up to leave, my husband said "I was watching that guy eyeballing you when we walked in. He only stopped when I walked up." I was completely unaware of it until he said something but I will admit it gave me a bit of a boost. 1 Quote 2016 goals: Hit goal weight.

I was completely unaware of it until he said something but I will admit it gave me a bit of a boost. For both partners. I bet your husband got an ego boost as well! I love it when I see other guys checking out my wife. Some guys are pigs (catcalling, seriously?) or creepy about it, but there is definitely a respectable and flattering way to do it.

Did this really happen to you? Somebody sent a woman who you were on a date with a drink? Did you raise it in his direction and say *cheers*? Quote 2016 goals: Hit goal weight.

Did you raise it in his direction and say *cheers*? Yes! To my wife! It was 3 guys at the bar. The server was very apologetic about it, but said that if anyone does that she has to serve it. I stood up, raised my (shot)glass to them and drank it down.Then rifled it back at them. Fuckers. 4 Quote The past is only smoke in a dream.

I think the is one of 2 ways to properly handle this. The other is your wife drinking it and then giving a little PDA to you with you staring them down and her ignoring them. 3 Quote May Br0din bless you with mighty gains, and may your shaker bottle always be full.

I mean yeah if he was hospitalized, I'm going to be worried and then maybe after that I'd at least discuss giving up a hobby that endangered his health, but he's still a big boy and can make his own choices. 2 Quote Druid Assassin Halfling Druid Level 16, Current Quest: Bekah Returns Spoiler Fitbit Facebook Your life does not get better by chance.

Sylvaa Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Okay today, I finally decided to take pictures of myself. I figure I won't have before / after shots if I keep being afraid of taking before pictures. Those are me. I was really looking forward to fun and exciting images on a reverse google search. I got this: I love it, because this is definitely how I see myself being sexy. (In reality, I just had a number of boring shots of either more athletic types than me or pregnant women). 3 Quote Sylvaa's BattleLog Sylvaa's Tracking Spreadsheet Link to comment
