If some jealousy (in mild form) isn't demonstrated occasionally, it can too easily be interpretted as indifference.
Then what?

I have to agree that a look - brief - is written off as normal and forgiven, a prolonged jaw-dropped stare, though, is insulting to both women present. Be discreet guys. We know you look, but be discreet.

Yep, after 10 years of marriage I finally got caught looking at another women. I thought I had it down to a science, but nope not this time, I got cold busted. Believe it or not before that the subject had never came up.
Thats the main reason I like wearing shades. That way I can look at these women in my own privacy.

I agree w/most women wanting their men (and vice versa) to know that they're with someone who's attractive to the opposite sex. Both sexes I think thrive on "competition", whether conscious or sub-conscious.
But, if a casual look at a member of the opposite sex is enough to send a partner tripping - something's wrong. Either the person has self-esteem issues or the relationship has some security ones.
I think if it's a healthy/happy relationship - and the individuals in it are healthy/happy, there's not going to be an issue. Your partner will automatically know that with you they are #1 - and won't feel threatened by you noticing beauty in ANY form.

I'm lucky I guess. My wife appreciates a nice body, too. I've seen her get a little 'shiver' when a 'hunk' goes by, I say, "W-w-hat? "Whew, she says, that guys butt gave me goosebumps."
And at one of the ApostaFests...a lot of guys got pinched as they walked by her!
So-o, I get to look, too!

My hubby and I have an agreement.
He gets to look and comment just as long as I get to too!
We are both people watchers, so we always see the same people.

Not until they come up with a victors secret one for ladies ! lol

In situations like those, my husband looks at me and says "She almost looks as good as you" and proceeds to kiss me. I know he's lying and sucking up, but I don't care. He loves me!
