Just isn't the time or place.</p> <p>But random dude at Whole Foods (who happened to look like Richard Gere)? Bring. It. On. :silly: </p> <p>And my husband doesn't mind one way or the other. he isn't the jealous type but he doesn't particularly get off on other guys liking me, either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-make-you-feel-good-when-you-get-hit-on#post-1678139 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 12:04:50 +0000 mamimami 1678139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it! Mexican guys can be very open about their admiration LOL. I have a few favorites I like to remember... once when I was walking my dog this gas station attendant called out, "Beautiful woman, beautiful dog!" That cracked me up so bad. </p> <p>My husband doesn't mind at all. He thinks it's weird how American guys seem totally unfazed by female beauty. (Although occasionally it manifests itself in really weird and inappropriate ways LOL.)</p> <p>I do feel like it's been awhile since I got a gem like that, but I also don't spend as much time walking around on the street anymore.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-make-you-feel-good-when-you-get-hit-on#post-1678106 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:58:29 +0000 PixieStix 1678106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hells yeah! My hubs and I tell each other when we're hit on, and we can both be a little dull at reading the other gender's queue's and such, so we'll even ask each other "what it means" when so-and-so did/said this to one of us. It's kinda funny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-make-you-feel-good-when-you-get-hit-on#post-1678060 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:45:24 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1678060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally agree with you! Makes me feel good :) And DH doesn't mind one bit - he said he knows he's the lucky one cause he got me and the other guys didn't :silly: I feel the same with him. He's had some of his students make comments that he's heard here and there and finds it funny for the most part, but I think it gives him a little ego boost too ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-make-you-feel-good-when-you-get-hit-on#post-1678037 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:37:29 +0000 Synchronicity 1678037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Total ego boost but I get super awkward and embarrassed haha. It doesn't happen often! I did get asked out recently, and told my SO and he was like like "sooooorry, you're all mine!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-make-you-feel-good-when-you-get-hit-on#post-1678028 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:35:05 +0000 wonderstruck 1678028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Greentea: True! I agree. The random person wouldn't bother me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-make-you-feel-good-when-you-get-hit-on#post-1678020 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:31:36 +0000 sunny 1678020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get all embarrassed and don't know what to say, but I secretly like it. I haven't been hit on in years though! DH doesn't really care either way when I tell him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-make-you-feel-good-when-you-get-hit-on#post-1678010 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:28:26 +0000 Greentea 1678010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a lot of this depends on context- random person shouting out "you're beautiful!" with kindness in the street? Or coworker looking fondly into your eyes saying you are beautiful... (I think the context depends in regard to how a partner could feel about it.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-make-you-feel-good-when-you-get-hit-on#post-1677998 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:25:01 +0000 MsLipGloss 1677998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@alohaorchid: I don't mind my DH being hit on/complimented either . . . you're either secure in your relationship or you're not. (because at that point, it really is all about you--how you feel about yourself--and your relationship!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-make-you-feel-good-when-you-get-hit-on#post-1677983 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:21:50 +0000 Arden 1677983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Indeed. There's a barista at Starbucks that flirts with me and has given me free drinks TWICE. So now DH is like "Ill stay in the car, maybe he'll give you a free drink again." lol</p> <p>Yes, usually I find it flattering (especially if it's something like "You are beautiful). I do get skeezed out when someone hits on me while I'm with LO (Or calls me a MILF. *shudder* Hate that term.). But just general flirting? Meh, harmless. DH doesn't care.</p> <p>Also my DH gets hit on all the time by older women and gay men. I have seen more than one old woman come up and squeeze his arm muscles and tell him he looks like Chris Hemsworth (I've also heard Brad Pitt and Bon Jovi, lol). I find it hysterical. I don't care at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-make-you-feel-good-when-you-get-hit-on#post-1677978 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:20:37 +0000 wonderstruck 1677978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will be honest, it would totally bug me if my DH was pleased to have another woman tell him he's cute! Just...having him be happy about someone flirting with him or hitting on him would totally rub me the wrong way. I think because in my eyes if a woman told him how attractive he is, and he smiled and was pleased by it...it's kind of like he's encouraging her, IMO. That's how I would feel, anyways - I can't see it ever happening though, he would probably just get all flustered haha.</p> <p>It depends on the compliment though. Like, someone telling me that I look nice today or complimenting something specific about my outfit or hair or whatever would flatter me, I don't think that kind of thing directed towards DH would bother me either. But being flat out hit on makes me uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-make-you-feel-good-when-you-get-hit-on#post-1677973 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:19:23 +0000 Fronkinzankinsbride 1677973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would only like it if it were a lady, which never happens because unfortunately I don't read as obviously gay. I don't like my wife being hit on by ladies though...I know she's good lookin, I don't need reminding. It's good for her ego though, so I try not to complain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-make-you-feel-good-when-you-get-hit-on#post-1677954 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:15:42 +0000 sandy 1677954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, especially feels good when pregnant :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-make-you-feel-good-when-you-get-hit-on#post-1677947 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:14:33 +0000 Bookish 1677947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: same lol. But I'm sure I'd love it if it happened! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-make-you-feel-good-when-you-get-hit-on#post-1677936 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:12:25 +0000 LAZB 1677936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It feels great! And my DH loves it, he feels like it's a compliment to him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-make-you-feel-good-when-you-get-hit-on#post-1677927 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:11:07 +0000 mrsjyw 1677927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>of course it's an ego boost!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-make-you-feel-good-when-you-get-hit-on#post-1677924 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:10:01 +0000 lawbee11 1677924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Especially when it involves getting something for free. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-make-you-feel-good-when-you-get-hit-on#post-1677922 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:09:01 +0000 snowjewelz 1677922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sadly I don't recall being hit on, at all... haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-make-you-feel-good-when-you-get-hit-on#post-1677901 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:05:07 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1677901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-make-you-feel-good-when-you-get-hit-on#post-1677896 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:01:20 +0000 LuLu Mom 1677896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It makes me feel good, and I always tell my husband he better watch out ;) And if someone calls him cute/hot I know he likes it. HAHA but for him it's always young girls (our daycare lady's daughter is 14 and gets the giggles when DH picks up LO, she just thinks he's soo cute haha.) He has a baby face so he generally appeals to a younger crowd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-make-you-feel-good-when-you-get-hit-on#post-1677890 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 10:58:15 +0000 Alivoo01 1677890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Agreed!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-make-you-feel-good-when-you-get-hit-on#post-1677880 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 10:56:36 +0000 Caly 1677880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Yes! So long as he isn't creepy, I'm flattered &amp; happy that at this point in life, I've still got it :silly: </p> <p>DH definitelly doesn't mind, it just reminds him how lucky he is :wink: This feeling is mutual. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-make-you-feel-good-when-you-get-hit-on#post-1677868 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 10:53:08 +0000 MsLipGloss 1677868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@alohaorchid: Yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-make-you-feel-good-when-you-get-hit-on#post-1677863 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 10:52:42 +0000 kiddosc 1677863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like this could be a conversation that plays out between my husband and I. Everyone likes to get complimented but he gets weirdly possessive when that is not his normal MO at all. My husband would want to make sure that I told the guy "My husband thinks so too" :-p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-make-you-feel-good-when-you-get-hit-on#post-1677860 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 10:52:02 +0000 snowjewelz 1677860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's not in a creepy way then yes I would be flattered! And I think DH will be happy too knowing his wife's still got it, hahaha. But I would absolutely not enjoy it if it's done in a crass or creepy way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-make-you-feel-good-when-you-get-hit-on#post-1677858 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 10:51:41 +0000 alohaorchid 1677858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Exactly! That's how I would feel if he told me that he got hit on :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-make-you-feel-good-when-you-get-hit-on#post-1677855 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 10:51:09 +0000 Mamaof2 1677855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes of course! </p> <p> I think my DH likes it when guys compliment me because then he is all "Yep and she is MINE" :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-it-make-you-feel-good-when-you-get-hit-on#post-1677847 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 10:49:55 +0000 alohaorchid 1677847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok ladies, I need some opinions on this! My husband and I are clearly on different pages with this one. </p> <p>I was walking to my office this morning and a guy stopped me and told me that I'm beautiful. I just mentioned it to my husband and I said "it was kind of a nice compliment to start my day with" and... he got mad! Actually mad. At me! He said it's weird that I would feel good by that and "reminded" me that I'm married.... um, what?! He said I shouldn't let other guys make me feel good. </p> <p>If some girl told my husband he was hot I would be like, "yeah you are. I'm a lucky woman!" and I would feel happy for him because it's a nice confidence boost when you get noticed! </p>
