If it isn't already hard enough for us single guys, we have to put up with married men.... grrrrrrr.

There are a couple of new women here at work and I have already seen several instances of married men openly flirting with them. This bothers me -- not only should they *not* be doing this for obvious reasons, it also makes more competition for us single guys.

Then again, maybe I should look at it this way -- if any of these women are open to their advances then they are probably not the kind of women I would want anyway.

That is my biggest pet peeve of the last two years. If you're married and unhappy, get divorced and then date. Why is that concept so hard to grasp? But no - they gotta have side action or worse, murder their wife to get out. I despise married men (and women) who don't really want to be but have no balls (or guts) to get out.

Now I feel like choking something.....lol.

Yeah , I agree. But sometimes flirting is just flirting. No expectations of anything more. Don't you think?

Absolutely. Sometimes guys just flirt; the women like it because they feel like they are getting attention, and the men like it because it lets them think that even though they're married, they could still score if they wanted/needed to.

The funny thing is that these same women will often not respond as well to a SINGLE guy flirting with them, because he's not "safe"- he is an actual possibility, and therefore if they flirt it is more likely to leading to complications.
