Play XPOST

I've posted this on 2 forums.

At the play last night, I went to the restroom. When I turned around I could see a woman tap my man on the shoulder. When I got back, I asked what she wanted. He informed me that she said, "You look good from head to toe.". I was going to say something, but what and bottom line why? I was the 1 with him, and have been for 5 years, he was looking good, and I would like to think of myself as more secure then that, so I sat back and enjoyed the play. Question: Why are so women so low-down? Would you have said something?

You did exactly right soror. You were a lady and a mature woman about that situation. I would have done just as you did. Relish in the fact that my man looks good, I look good, and I'm the one on his arm and lovin every minute of it. There will always be admirers or haters on both sides of the fence but the important thing is, that THEY keep it at that (admiring) and YOU and YOURS keep it at that. Also, it's important to learn how to ignore ignorance, meaning those women who get a kick out of enticing or scheming to get other women's men. The gentlemen a woman's with, should ignore these types of women and show them they have more respect for themselves and their woman to stoop to their level. If that doesn't work than the situation should be handled at your own descretion.

I have a question -- why is it automatically low down if the woman complimented your man? If she was dry-humping him or something tasteless like that, I can see that it might be low down.

That particular woman was low-down, because she specifically waited until Special1920 was gone so that she could talk to her man. If she just had to compliment him, she could have said something like, "You both look really good this evening". or "You two are a very attractive couple." This should have been said in the presence of Special1920. If the woman wasn't trying to be scandalous, she would've said anything that she had to say to him in front of his woman. Anyway, what decent woman would say "You look good from head to toe"! to a man who is out somewhere with a woman? Pulllease!!

Maybe she waited until she was gone because she was worried about reactions like that one.

My soror had the right reaction -- she was a Finer Woman from head to toe, of that I'm certain. Still, I believe in giving people the benefit of the doubt before indicting them. Not everyone in the world has an ulterior motive.

I see where SoTrue is coming from. Maybe she felt that you would throw her major attitude if she gave your man a compliment in front of you (some women are like that) so she just did it while you weren't there. I'm assuming that she didn't try to give him her number or anything, so I don't see it as a big deal. If it were me, I'd be flattered that another woman thought my man was looking on point!

I would too! The bottom line is at the end of the night, he's going home with you, not with anyone else!

Soror Special1920 was in the restroom. She didn't say that she overheard exactly what the woman said to her companion. I'm not trying to say that her man stretched the truth (lawd knows, I know better than to talk about someone else's man)

, but since she didn't hear it first hand, she only has his word to go on. Why get all bent out of shape over hearsay?

Sisters know we give each other attitude. If I saw an attractive couple and I wanted to comment on the couple, I'd have no trouble. However, if I saw a good looking guy with another woman, and I just felt compelled to tell him how good he looked, I'd wait too, cause I'm not about to get into a knock-down, drag out, necks rolling all over the place argument with someone just because she thinks I'm out to take her man.

I'm with SoTrue on this one. I would just revel in the fact that my man looks good, and so do I. Then enjoyed the rest of the play.

Sorry sorors, but I disagree, maybe it's a case of you had to be there....
This woman was out of line, she purposedly waited for me to leave, to compliment my man. IMHO that was the bait, hoping he bite. Yes, I believe it went down just like my guy said, and I'm not one of these young girls who hangs on every word her man, says. I think that was very disrespectful and tacky. But as I said in my original post, we enjoyed the play, and it has not been mentioned again. Thanks sorors for your response, but I disagree with most, but with sisterly love.
