It all depends on the situation.
If my man and I are at a party, I fully expect him to talk to other people (men and women) because that is just being cordial and socializing. I, for one, am totally against having my man as an ornament at public affairs. Just because we go somewhere together does not mean that I expect him to hang on my arm all night long. He is free to move about the room and entertain himself. Of course, he should not ignore me and immerse himself totally in conversation with beautiful women all night.
Now, if every time that he encountered another woman, he began having an in depth conversation, then I would be annoyed.
I don't have a problem with my man speaking and acknowledging other women as long as it is in the right setting. There is a time and place for everything. If he doesn't know better, than he is not bright enough to be with me.
As far as looking at other women, he is more than welcome to
LOOK at whomever he wants. Lord knows, when I see a fine man walking towards me, he'll get the once over (maybe even two or three times depending on how fine he is
) regardless of who's next to me. I am discrete enough that I can look at a man without the whole world knowing that I am checking him out.
What I hate is when a man will break his neck trying to look at some half naked heffa. "You saw her coming a block away. If you couldn't get all of your looking done by the time she passes you, then you need to take a picture. Better yet, you need to follow her because I cannot be bothered."
