Hey Ratti

I am your typical oblivious male, so even if I was being hit on, I wouldn't notice unless said person was using a brick. Other than that I wear a wedding ring. So any conversation with me from the fairer sex is just that. A conversation. Unfortunately the wedding ring doesn't stop me saying stupid things. That is hardwired!

I do mention my wife and kids from time to time. They are the biggest part of my life. So they feature heavily in what I do and say. They are part of who I am. I love them to bits. I am proud of my wife and my kids and that comes through in conversations with me.

The date comment was a little odd though. If he was my mate - he would have been getting shit about that comment for AGES. Would become a running joke.

Whoever first put an electric start on a motorbike has a lot to answer for :devil2:

Don't take too much notice of what any bloke says on a ride, until they come out with,
"My wife doesn't understand me."

The mating call of a loser :whistle:

Errrmmmm..where does one find such a ride then, eh?

It does happen. And it is hard not to be a smart arse. 1/2 dozen of us girls were waiting for a ferry south one day and a bloke turned up... had to say "it's nice to see there are still some blokes riding" :-)

Its not just you chic.
I went on a run on the weekend & saw a dude I went out with in highschool, I'm 41 now, so it was a while ago now
He came over to talk to me and one of the first things he said ti me was "My wife rides a Ducati"
WTF??

Ha ha, probably just trying to pretend he did alright for himself! Like boasting about the porsche...

Anyway, plenty women out riding, WIMA, and there's a group down south of biker girls. Check out the websites and facebook! I ride most the time with girls, sometimes with just guys, sometimes mixed group. Sometimes odd comments, usually not from me but hell I can suffer from foot in mouth too. And if they wanna boast that they have someone good on them. It's the ones who forget to mention the family I worry about.

Of course family is important. In the normal course of a convo I talk about my kids and all as well, it was just the 'this is not a date' thing that was way wierd. WHy would i even think it was?

I must reiterate, most of the time its not an issue, I assume the folk who turn up on a ride are there to ride. Marital status does not enter the arena at all. Why would it? Family stuff appears naturally in subsequent conversations and its just people talking. Comparing notes on how vile our teenage sons are,how pleased we are to have the time to ride, how much we love the folk who are holding the fort while we are out riding. That's natural flow of conversation.

Has it occured to anyone that they may be refering to their spouse to make it plain that THEY are not there for a hook up and put things on a less predatory, more cordial basis?

I talk about my husband all the time, I guess it is because he is an important part of my life :yes:
(poor buggar, between me and his kids, he never gets a moments peace)

Wasn't a criticism mate. Only the mad or bored would bother reading whole threads! I think anyone talking positively about their families should be supported.

They might be complimenting you (in a back handed way)... "I'd definitely be keen to get to know you 'better' if I wasn't taken", or contemplating their own misery... "Man I wish I wasn't taken, fancy meeting such a great gal after getting married :doh:"

Ala Peter Davis after shagging uncle 'Ellen and having to live with her.Seriously flirting is ok (more so if you are good friends),and know the boundaries,I believe nothing wrong as long as your partner is ok with the flirting,if not don't do it.And flirting in front of your partner shows all in fun,behind their back is dodgy,imho.

Of course people talk about their partners and family...but from what I understand (and I have been following this thread with some interest cos its been highly entertaining!) the lady asking the question had ridden with the same group of people before, she was not interested in "preying on" ANYONE, had made NO moves on anyone or suggested a hookup so the comment that she should know that the ride wasn't a date ride was a bit out of left field and not surprisingly left her wondering WTF?

Ratti

10th May 2010, 13:37

You got it Sis!

Still none the wiser as to WTF. But have decided it is best put in the CBF file.
It has been an interesting thread though. Lots of opinions, what a wonderfully diverse bunch of folk we are.

I wish I knew how to multi quote on one post.

Let me see if I have distilled the basic thoughts from y'all.
- It's all in my head Yes
- it's not in my head, there is something going on with these guys No its all in your head
- they fancy me and are trying to attract my attention Either that or just making conversation
- they don't fancy me and want to set boundaries Why does a comment about a partner have to mean any of this?
- they think I'm a player Your call
- they are players and want to let me know WTF??
- they treasure their partners and just want to talk about how wonderful s/he is Most sensible answer yet
- it's just what men do
.

FFS mentioning a partner or wife doesn´t mean they are hitting on you - it IS all in your head, some people mention their kids in every conversation they have what does that mean Sigmund Freud?? Possibly that they feature heavily in their thoughts or a conversation starter, if you mention your partner in a conversation are you making conversation or giving out some encrypted dating signal???

you two have both missed my original point.

I turn up to scope out a potential ride for some learners, the other party doesnt even say Hello, just fires in with ' This is not a date" wtf is that about guys?

Missing the point is a KB trademark... :yes:

"I turn up to scope out a potential ride for some learners, the other party doesnt even say Hello, just fires in with ' This is not a date" wtf is that about guys?"

Well not really - I don´t see this line of text anywhere in the first post. My girlfriend would be happy if she knew she was the first in the topic of conversations I had when meeting new people- especially women wouldn´t you be happy if your boyfriends did the same??

I went for a haircut a few weeks ago, the hairdresser mentioned both her husband and her two kids within the first 5 minutes what do you think the secret meaning behind this was??
