Jealousy is an ugly emotion. So I try to trust. But
sometimes I feel many men are showing no respect towards their partners by
openly flirting with me.
When I question their behavior, I am usually
labeled as an uptight killjoy. So I just ask if it's ok when their partners
flirt with other men. And of course they all say it's not cool.
Isn't that funny though? If a woman accuses her
partner of flirting with other women, she is usually considered insanely
jealous. But if it's the other around, we often
feel sorry for the poor man. And when a girl cheats, she is s slut. But when a guy cheats,
he is just being a man and there is nothing wrong about it.
A friend of mine often has business trips. He once
told me that his trips were always only for 2-3 days, so he had no reason to
cheat. I wonder what he thinks if his wife claims she’s got no reason to cheat because he
is away for only a few days. Let’s just pray that he never has to be away too
long.
How unfair can that be? Do we give men such freedom
simply because of the biological differences? Or are there any social/cultural reasons behind? Why is the Scarlet Letter only for women? What has caused this
double standard?
Girls, let's flirt back! Especially if you are in a
relationship! And come to think of it, why don't we make the first move and
initiate the flirting? We can always tell our boyfriends or husbands later,
"Stop being so jealous for crying out loud. I was just having a little
harmless fun!"
Seriously, flirting is healthy. If your
partner doesn’t respect you and flirts with the pretty waitress, why can’t you
smile up to the handsome waiter and sweetly ask his name? It’s going to be the
most exciting meal you’ll ever have, I promise.
Let’s all follow our animal instinct and flirt
away!
