...by another guy?

I have noticed this often enough to think this is not a coincidence: when I am in a public place and oggling some hot guy who is obviously romantically involved with a chick, that chick very often seems to throw herself at the guy immediately with some sort of PDA - whether by embracing him, or grabbing his hand, or kissing him etc. I am wondering if this is conscious or perhaps some unconscious reaction where the "threat" is not even consciously recognised but some sort of defense mechanism instinctively kicks in, to show that the guy is "taken".

Interestingly enough, the guy is almost always completely oblivious to this.

Yes Mart you trigger defense mechanisms in women. You're that awesome.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

The verb is"ogle" not "oggle".

Yes, I tend to date pretty boys who gay guys are attracted to. I usually say, "Ooh look that bloke's eyeing you up" then covertly shove him into the ogler for a laugh the next time I go to power my nose.

What's your reaction when a man or woman ogles your boyfriend, Mart?

I'm jealous. Of course it happens all the fucking time. And he makes sure to point that out.  :mad:

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Didn't he get drafted or something?  Maybe they beat some sense into the kid.  Or maybe he died out in the forest.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
