Does it bother you when your partner checks out other people on the street?
We wouldn’t be human if we didn’t, in men’s case, appreciate beauty, or in women’s case, admire a hunk of flesh fresh from a workout at the gym. Fact is, even if we’re in solid relationships we can’t ignore attractive members of the opposite sex — it’s just not natural.
But even knowing that, does it bother you when your partner takes a peep? Do you feel threatened in any way or are you secure enough in your relationship to know that looking doesn’t mean lusting?
Sandra, 38:
No, it doesn’t bother me at all. He is not going to turn into a robot when he enters a relationship with me. I’m not insecure, I trust my boyfriend. At the end of the day he is still a man, and ladies trust me when I say that men will look. At the end of the day you just have to redirect his attention and energies to you.
Michelle, 29:
No, I have no problem with that. I know that at the end of the day my boyfriend wants me and me alone. Men will look; it’s in their DNA to want women. Just as long as he is not catcalling her, whistling at her or that kind of thing, he can look all he wants but definitely, no touching.
JoHanna 28:
You know, it does bother me and I don’t think he realises. Physically as women, some of us have been well endowed whether it be with wide hips, big breasts, or butt. Men will naturally be attracted to that. For us women though who have none of those things but still manage to hook a man, in the back of your mind there is always that lingering question of why is he with me or would he leave me for a girl with bigger breasts?
Rachael, 33:
Yes it does. But still if a woman looks good she looks good, whether or not you want to admit it. But at the end of the day it hurts your feelings when your partner is blatantly attracted to another female.
Stephanie, 40:
My husband made a decision ten years ago, me. I don’t expect him to live in a bubble; I trust him. He works and so on a daily basis he will interact with numerous women, many of whom are younger and more attractive than I am. But as I said even though he may be attracted to other women I wouldn’t expect him to act out his feelings. He has a wife and children; I would like to think that that would be enough to occupy him.
Sasha, 37:
It does bother me, how can it not? I think it is even worse when she begins to check him out as well. And then the two of them have this ‘moment in time’ with each other. And it’s like you’re not even there! If your man is committing adultery right in front of your face how can you not be jealous or have a problem with that?
Johnathan, 30:
Honestly I’m not the jealous type. My girlfriend is not only pretty, she is also quite friendly and so most men will find that attractive in a woman.
Mark, 34:
Yes it does. I have to be honest. As men we have big egos and so if we find that our women take interest in other men it is as if it is a personal attack on our manhood whether or not it was intentional.
Alton, 40:
No, it doesn’t bother me. I know I’m not the worst looking or the best looking man in Jamaica and so she is free to look. I mean I look at other women as well and she doesn’t say anything. It’s not like she is going to leave me for some random man on the street that she is physically attracted to. We have been together too long and have gone through too much for that.
Tyrone, 36:
Of course! If she’s checking out another man then clearly she is not satisfied with the current package that she has and is trying to upgrade. Women don’t joke you know. They can be very cunning when they want to be.
