    I’m in an open marriage with a slightly bi woman, and these boomer-tier memes are always so funny to me. We look at women together, and when she asks if I want to sleep with them it feels more like coaxing than a trap.

      I’m monogamous but it doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate looking at hot people. How conceited would you have to be to think you’re better looking than everyone else your partner sees.

      You do realize 95% of the population can recognize themselves in this situation, right?

        Not really? As lightnsfw said, even if you’re monogamous you should be able to notice attractive people without it turning into a fight.

          And yet here we are. The joke wouldn’t work if literally every man couldn’t recognize this situation. Or are they all just mass deluded and you alone have seen the light? Just… Stop.

            I know this situation only from people in unhealthy relationships. Repressed emotions like this can lead to cheating or mistrust

            It doesn’t! That explains it-- literally every man must not recognize this situation :)

        Appeal to majority? I’ve never found the argument that “most people think this way” to be very compelling.
