So you're talking to a woman. You're not pushing the "Hey, baby" vibe AT ALL. Maybe it's a business setting and there's no hint of intimacy on your part. And then it happens.

She inexplicably inserts the "I have a husband" thing into the conversation at a moment where it feels completely out of place. What the hell? It's like she's saying "I'm sorry but I'm married."

I'm a married guy, happy with my lot these days. Maybe, just maybe, my ego is affected by these little disclosures somehow. Maybe I'm just trying to build up the idea in my head that they're all attracted to me or something. But I don't think so. I really think about 50% of the time they're just dropping the bomb to ensure that I am certain they're faithful.

Anyone ever get that feeling?
Do you want forgiveness or respect?

Yes, some of the women I talked to would do that. Maybe it was the sparkle in my eye that threatened them. I'm joking. But maybe it was. The thing is some of these women get hit on so much that they start to think any guy who talks to them is interested in them. I have that "sparkle" in my eye because I'm interested in what they're saying, even when I'm talking to a guy! Geez! Just my 2 cents.

I know what you mean. I was just going over that with my 3 wives and 44 children in our commune.

As said in my speech class (this is backed up) -- women hear things differently then men.

It has to do with women trying to associate observations to things and make sense of them where men tend to just take the observations as just that...

If you tell a man "I like your cologne", they think -- cologne smells nice... and that's about it..

if you tell a woman "I like your perfume", they think -- "he said my perfume smells nice... hrm... that's a compliment so he must like me"

..... It's really asinine when it gets down to it.
Aloha
