Jealousy is the muthafucker of all feelings. honestly... it just sucks. and i resent feeling that way. i really have to question why. the thing is... i don't get jealous about many things... but when i do... its like the most extreeme of feelings. and the worst part about it is that i can't even openly admit it... say it outloud. there are many

i'm not saying anyone's no good,
but brutally perhaps he's "just not that into you"

i would have no reason to flirt if i had what i needed, be it:
1) a good ego
2) sense of security
3) the perfect girl

and of coz you'd have the right to be jealous if he had the right to flirt.
time for an ultimatum!

I just want to quickly stick up for the men here and say I know PLENTY of women that flirt for the same reasons...ego boost, and to make themselves still feel wanted even if they are totally dedicated and loyal to their man at home. I don't think it's bad as long as it stops right there. We're all human....

I've had bad experiences with my interest flirting with other girls. If you are single, cool.. but if you are with someone and you want to "harmlessly" flirt with other women, I find that offensive. That energy should be spent on one's girlfriend and not some girl you don't care about. It makes the girlfriend feel insecure because we constantly compare ourselves with other women (damn estrogen).

And how would they like it if we openly flirted with some hot guy at a bar? They wouldn't. But we don't do that as often as men because... well... they just don't think.

This is a hard topic because there are so many reasons that people flirt. I myself have a problem with flirting without even noticing. I used to do it a lot when I was younger... I've got esteem issues so I need that feeling of being wanted. That's really bad when you're in a realtionship.

For the most part I think flirting when you're involved isn't a good idea. It's disrespectful to the person you're involved with. Whether they're around or not. A lot of people would argue that it's harmless as long as it doesn't lead to anything and that if the partner isn't around when it happens then "see no evil...". I don't give a damn! If my man is flirting... anytime... anywhere... unless he's just joking with a friend or something... I'll be pissed.

I feel jealous too. The night we went out, the new guy I'm seeing was suddenly kissed by a girl who I thought knew him, but he later said he didn't. Then she gave and kissed me on the lips. I then wonder what did she say to him in his ears, but I should believe him more than her since I know him longer than the seconds I kissed her. Jealousy depends on how deep your feelings are for that person or that object and time lengthens jealousy and the lack of trust. Or sometimes a married or attached person would flirt with others and it's just a flirtly ego booster for both. However, it's not a condoning behavior if your partner does not like it, I believe, and no one is right, but if you are not feeling well about it, speak up, and tell him to amend his ways. He would care more about you than his ego. :)
