There was a discussion on here once upon a time about this particular subject. I was surprised to read so many different responses. Thought this would be interesting. For me, depends on my mood. I don't mind a long hard stare, turning heads, but I HATE anyone making animal like noises at me and I will never be anyone's "BABY". NEVER.

I agree, that was tough. I selected "turn heads" because it's nice to be noticed. But having somebody say "HI" or look a little longer than normal is nice too. I definitely do not like to be treated like a "piece of meat", though! Looking forward to seeing what others have to say.

Fun poll!

I selected turn of heads as well. But like others have said a polite, "hi" is kind of nice too. But they still will hear about the dh and ds if we end of having more of a conversation after the "hi".
Back in the day the most annoying thing was when the girls and I would all go out to a club and dance and some guy would come up behind me, or another girl and start trying to dance with us. I don't go out to clubs any longer, they aren't my cup of tea. But I used to and it was very annoying when that would happen.
Here would be another intersting poll, I think. If you are married what do you think is acceptable?
1.) Saying Hi back
2.) Ignoring them
3.) Having a polite conversation, but bringing up the dh and letting that person know, this is only a friendly conversation.
4.) Allowing that person to buy you a drink.
5.) Allowing that person to buy you and drink and dancing with them.

Personally, obviously, I think 3 is as far as it can go. But others might feel differently. I'm curious.. I wonder if I should start a thread about that? Ok, now I'm thinking out load, and typing. Sorry.

Kathy,

I would have to pick "ignore them" as I don't like taking chances that it could go further and find myself in a weird situation. Nothing wrong with #3 though, but some men now don't care if your married or not and will still pursue you. Just my own personal experience.

Well the other day I walked into a pet store and got such a great feeling when I heard a "Hi" and then a whistle. It's nice to get an ego boost. And if my husband would have let me, I would have bought that parrot right then and there.

I voted none of the above, definately don't like to be stared at and don't notice any head turns but then again I don't pay any attention.
 
Kathy:
1 or 3 is about as far as I think I would go .... out of respect for my DH and our marriage I would not even "go there" regarding drinks etc.... thats how things "just happen"..... I laugh when I hear people say that "It just happened".... no it didnt, you made a choice that allowed it to potentially happen!
Hope I dont get lashes for that one!
 
WOW Debbie, Nice avatar! Heads will SPIN over that one!:) Your arms are AWESOME!

As for the original poll question - where is ALL OF THE ABOVE?!?!?! I, ahem, really like men and attention . . . :p
 
I voted "Turn Heads". I like the "hello" but, that always causes some kind of uneasiness if I'm alone. But, if I'm with my Husband, I don't mind. :)
 
I really don't like to be bothered. I am usually in a hurry and am way too impatient to notice anyone noticing me, and when I do I get SO annoyed because I have way better things to do than to be eye candy - but my husband LOVES when other guys notice me and his chest puffs out lol!!! :p

I completely agree with you on that one Charlotte. I just wish I wasn't so damn nice. I feel bad ignoring a person, even if I don't know them. So, I end up talking, but make sure that the person knows that's as far as it will go. But there have been times that they don't get the hint and I have to just walk away. But I'm never alone talking, there is always a friend close by, like right next to me.

I'll be 44 next month and I love it when I turn heads. I am married, and I see nothing wrong with a little wave or saying hello. Nothing more than that, of course. I watched Oprah, I think was last week, and they were talking about aging. Anyway one lady, I think she is a writer and in her 50s, she said she loves to get noticed and maybe even flirted with a little. She said it always gives her a little boost and can even make things more interesting when she gets home to her husband. I totally agree with her.
 
I was once whistled at, very quietly as I got off an elevator, where only he and I had been and was surprised at how flattering it was...normally I hate the loud public whistles but this was a really great compliment.
