Constantly remarking on how sexy/ gorgeous they are?

Well, is it? Would you be ok with that ladies?

Depends on the dynamics of your relationship. I wouldn’t like it, but my husband doesn’t do it, and wouldn’t.

This is kind of a question I've had bubbling under for a while. Swinging doesn't seem consistent with that, totally normal, level of jealousy/unease at a partner's behaviour.

Where does the line get drawn?

Context is needed. As with everything.

Whats wrong with paying compliments? Is there a desire to actually be with these woman outside of just looking and saying something nice? Is no attention being paid to his partner? Has there been a set rule/understanding between expressed to him.

It’s really just down to politeness; when you’re with someone you should be really with them.

What you describe is like when people go to the pub and keep messaging someone else on their phone.

No, I wouldn't appreciate if it was all the time and I felt like they had a roving eye. Every so often it's human nature that you spot someone attractive but it's how you point this out that is the important thing. I still remember sitting down for a nice lunch and the person I was with telling me it was a good restaurant choice as all the waitresses were hot. Put me right off my food!

The roving eye is what fab will produce and create. All those fabulous female profiles displaying what can be had if the cards are played right.

OP if it's outside of fab then I'd say you have a good case to cut off his jewels, if in the fab context then it's a very blurred line.

Agreed. If it’s on here and he’s trying to find someone for you both to play with then looking at women and paying them compliments is all part of the game.

If it’s part of your everyday life and he’s paying random women compliments or paying them more attention that you etc. then that’s not on. Maybe he’s getting the lines of swinging and real life a bit skewed and you need to have a chat about what’s acceptable.

Early in dating it'd bug me, but serious relationships I've been in we've both done it. I like it when we get to the point we're secure enough to discuss other people being hot while knowing we're still each others first choice.

However, I've never been cheated on and I imagine that would change my perspective greatly if it happened.

But you said it's disrespectful, which depending on the dynamic and context of the entire situation it is.

In a different form of context it is not disrespectful at all.

The OP didn't provide enough context to come to a solid conclusion, therefore the replies will be based on the individuals choice within the vaccum of critera they decide on in their own mind.

Not limited to but including the first things I said at the top of this quote.

I'm in no way saying it can't be and never is disrespectful. Just that different situations will blur the lines based on what else is going on.

I wouldn't like it. I don't mind him finding other women attractive and a quick glance, that's normal, but it being pointed out to me would hurt me if he did it knowing how it made me feel. I don't see the need for it. It does nothing for me knowing he likes other women.

All men check out other women, if they say they don't they're lying. Difference is being subtle and discreet about it rather than making it obvious.

As a counterpoint. In a committed relationship, where should a lady draw a line when hit on by another man. Where should the boundary be? Is it ok to go for drinks with another guy, spend time alone?

Asking for a friend (and myself).

As HMQL said it all depends on your relationship and the boundaries you both have. I wouldn't be OK with it, but my partner would be more than happy for me to have drinks and fun with a guy who came on to me.

I think a general rule is that if it's something you have to hide from your partner then you shouldn't be doing it.

I believe in relationship anarchy, non monogamy and polyamours lifestyles. I’ll try add to this with points.

Some people have a relationship where it would be ok. But I think they are rare.

If someone kept commenting on other women I'd let him go have them instead. It's rude and disrespectful.

I'm aware of that. The purpose of my question isn't to derail yours but widen the question.

Yes, for what my opinion is worth, it is totally disrespectful to be openly overtly and excessively commenting on other womens appearances when in a relationship. That is a behavioural boundary which is disrepectful to their partner and relationship.

My point is that in a committed relationship, both parties should be mindful of their interactions with the opposite sex. It is possible for either party in a relationship to be disrespectful and undermine the relationship without overtly stepping outside the relationship.

I'm aware of that. The purpose of my question isn't to derail yours but widen the question.

Yes, for what my opinion is worth, it is totally disrespectful to be openly overtly and excessively commenting on other womens appearances when in a relationship. That is a behavioural boundary which is disrepectful to their partner and relationship.

My point is that in a committed relationship, both parties should be mindful of their interactions with the opposite sex. It is possible for either party in a relationship to be disrespectful and undermine the relationship without overtly stepping outside the relationship. "

But thats my point. I wasn't talking about 'interactions'

I was asking about comments

Comments such as " she's got a lovely arse"

And " I'd love to fuck her"

It never bothered me with my ex, but we were swingers - I certainly hope he never played with anyone that he didn't find attractive.

I think it depends on the dynamics of your relationship, and also you as people.

If somebody I was meeting casually now i'm single did it while we were on a meet, they wouldn't see me for dust - not because I'd be jealous (I don't understand jealousy, such a pointless emotion), but because I'd find it disrespectful.

"For a partner in a supposed committed relationship, to constantly be looking at other women?

Well, is it? Would you be ok with that ladies?

As a counterpoint. In a committed relationship, where should a lady draw a line when hit on by another man. Where should the boundary be? Is it ok to go for drinks with another guy, spend time alone?

I’ve personally had such comments as ‘love to her’ drilled in that this could be considered creepy...

jealousy affects so many of us even if we believe it doesn't

"If something makes you feel rubbish and your partner knows and chooses to carry on then that’s not ok. "

Exactly that.

I think with me, now and then yeah no problem, I can appreciate beauty and point it out myself. At a club or whilst browsing together on here then that's fine.

Out and about, or watching telly and it happens regularly then I'd be fucked off no end. Like seriously dude, am I that boring, am I that unflattering? With me it would have a knock on effect to my self esteem, I know that, so that's something I'd not tolerate for my own wellbeing and if another person couldn't understand that.... see ya fresh *waves goodbye*

We are in a swinging relationship, if this happened while we were in a normal situation and he did it constantly I'd be pretty pissed.

In a swinging situation he may comment and say, they were nice, or make a joke about how big their boobs were ( hes a boob man ) but hes never gone over board and made me feel hurt or jealous.

But to be fair I'm usually the one who'll ask him.

Not sure under what conditions/circumstances it's happening and your dynamics but with my husband we'd often comment about a person that caught an eye of one of us. Whether it's a man or a woman, live, on tv or online. We find it as open and honest thing to do. We don't humiliate each other either in comparison to the said person.

Not constantly and not if he knows you don't like it. The odd remarks or comments are fine in my opinion. I think it depends how it's done to be honest.

Exactly this. We do it in a fun, flirty way and like you said we never humiliate each other or make the other feel uncomfortable.

No!!!!

I had a social with a man who kept checking out women at the cashiers desk behind me. He wanted to see me again and I said no. Turned me right off.

It’s incredibly rude.

You're absolutely right.

I've always made sure that if I meet someone or out with someone, I treat them like they are the only person in the room.

It's just basic gentlemanly conduct and common courtesy
