Do you find that if you are single, men (clients too) assume you’re in love with them? We have standards and it’s not Clark from audit. What are some comments to let them know you’re not into them?

Wow...maybe you should read a little better. I didn’t accuse her of actively flirting and trying to get this attention. Delivery/how you say something is actually more important and impactful than what you say.

Any chance you are a little flirtatious and that is why they think that?

OP - the reality is that there are some women who are naturally more flirtatious in the way they interact with men. Not condemning for it, just saying that it exists. Men respond to that and jump to stupid conclusions, so getting some encouragement from a flirtatious personality... 🤷🏻‍♀️

I avoided this by taking my brother’s discarded wedding ring (post-divorce), resizing it and wearing it when I didn’t want to be bothered 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ugh people know I’m married and they still act like I am a free agent. I’m not sure if it’s bc I don’t wear my ring (I don’t cause I’m afraid of losing it while traveling) but they constantly bring it up as if I don’t have any loyalty. Like please, if ur wife ain’t missing u, trust me, no ladies want you.

Hi ladies! Need your opinion and advice on a slightly awkward topic
I recently started dating this guy. He is really good in bed (well endowed, good stamina, great foreplay, etc). But he doesn’t cum after sex. Our sex routine normally ends at either of us getting tired after a long run but not him cuming. We’ve been together for the last 4-5 days and have done it many times (early phases of a relationship). And he came only once.
Is this something I should be worried about? Does this mean
