    I ran into an old college friend last night, and the first thing she did was throw her arms around me and give me a big hug. We stood chatting for about five minutes, hugged again and parted company. The entire time this random guy is staring at us getting angrier and angrier looking, sizing me up in ultra aggressive mode. Clearly her other half, and clearly not pleased she was talking to a far better looking bloke. Even as I was walking away he made some derogatory comment I didn't quiet catch. Sorry mate, I'll remember to get yer permission next time before talking to your property.

    It's the superior genetics which make me so modest and better then other people.

    Anyway, originally I was going to ask why some men act like this, but I guess all the various reasons boil down to insecurity.

    Yeah more or less, feeling threatened by a potential imposter, not trusting his girlfriend enough etc etc

    i'm pretty sure you've hit the nail on the head Boston, with insecurity being the main reason. It appears there are plenty of emotionally stunted blokes out there. They see a threat to their "manliness" in pretty much every innnocent encounter. tbh, its bollocks.

    I actuallly take it as a compliement if another man was to start chatting to Mrs Monkey. I trust her totally, so why should I have an issue? If he were to get lairy and grabby, then I'd step in (and have) but other than that, no big deal. In actual fact, I find it does Mrs Monkey the world of good, a little confidence booster if you will. We all need to feel like other people fancy us from time to time.

    It was probably Portland looking for a fight.

    Could never see the logic in this at all. IME and simply put if someone is going to leave you or cheat, you can't stop them. This kind of behaviour actually makes it more likely as you're wearing a big neon sign above you're head saying "I'm woefully insecure".

    Boston's neon sign says "I am a god". :D

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    If only it was that easy.

    Read the relationship issues in PI. Or see what happened to Boston.

    Happened to me before as well. I was in a club. Bumped into a guy I used to go to school with. chatting for about 15 mins. Que girlfriend coming over roaring at him for chatting up "some tart", I just walked away nothing to do with me. I was just making small talk. Getting evils from her all night then.

    Some people's relationships are really scary.

    Anyway Boston - are you interested in her and will you be contacting her.

    If the subject of her boyfriend came up would you tell her that he is a bit odd?

    Men...I saw Brothers the other day. Tobey Maguire's character spends a few months held captive by terrorists over in Iraq. While he was gone Jake Gyllenhaal's character (the brother) looks after his presumed dead brother's family. When Maguire's character come back, he doesn't say thank you to his brother for looking after his family, instead the first thing he asks is "Did you **** her (the wife)?" Don't mention it at all brother!

    But did he? :) Some guy trying it on with a woman I was with wouldnt really register with me tbh. Some guy spending lots of time with her and she with him would though.

    Nope, they shared a brief kiss but instantly regretted it.
    I do agree though, in a normal setting with no Hollywood dramatics, that would make me uncomfortable.
