Harold Reynolds fired!!

[rented mule]

If a married man is flirting with a young hottie and not doing anything more, his wife finds out about it and is angered, then obviously their relationship(the married couple) is not based on very solid footing and trust to begin with.

That's your opinion and it's an ignorant assumption. It's called respect. I'm not going to embarrass my wife when she comes to an office function by having every girl in the office know that i've hit on them and collectively they're snickering at my wife.

My wife doesn't hassle me about placing a bet or two, she doesn't hassle me about playing golf on the weekends, she never hassled me about spending 7 hours on a Sunday playing a baseball doubleheader, she doesn't hassle me about being glued to the TV every Sunday during football season and she's a great mother to my kids.

She insists that I respect our relationship by not engaging in improper behavior outside of the house. More specifically flirting with other women and making a spectacle of myself.

Why would I begrudge her that request with everything else she does for me?

Savage, you dont know how the details about this case, I am 100% sure it was more than a hug.. You seem like you may have gotten into trouble for something like this when you were younger..
Maybe that is why you have to go buy a RENT A WIFE from another country! Yeah, Savage she really loves you, she didnt just want to get into the USA!!!!

God-are women such patsies and paranoid that they have to screaming sexual harassment about everything!!!

Savage I don't think 99% of woman are patsies. It's the other 1% that makes all the noise.

i think alot of you are upset at who was fired and not why which is very very understandable...if you want to turn this thread into a sexual harassment topic thread...none of you..unless you've been sexually harassed in the workplace can make any valid points are far as I'm concerned...and the ones that start whistling are usually the ones that end up touching...and i don't understand how your boss or co-worker constantly making sexual comments towards you (or meaningless words as you call them)...is meaningless

Meg, I can care less who got fired. I rarely watch Baseball Tonight. Personally, I like Orel Hershiser more.

Sexual harrassment can be a problem in the work place. However, I believe as a society regarding harrassment we've gone from one extreme to the other. Men and women think entirely different. It's unfair that as a guy I have to be ultra-concerned about what and how I say something. Something I utter can be construed as harrassment. There's no clear cut guidelines. We have to always be so politically correct. People simply need to get thicker skin and shrug some things off.

Just yesterday my neighbor called animal control on one of my dogs. They issued me a warning. The next time I get a summons. The neighbor that called lied to animal control. He told animal control that my dog charged and bit him. My friend who took the dog out to go to the bathroom told me a completely different story. The dog went over to my neighbor. The dog NEVER acted in a aggressive manner. Never barked. Never growled. Never bit. My neighbor has an axe to grind because my dog shit on his lawn a few months. The moral? A person can do or say anything to get another person in trouble.

All that being said. If Reynolds has a long history of harrassment then he should be fired. There's no excuse for continued violations.

I didn't say trying to have sex with someone other than your wife is ok.
I merely said I see no harm with flirting with somone.
My God heaven forbid if a woman should catch her husband watching some of those "terrible" sex filled movies filled with words with gutter language or maybe sneaking a peek at a pornographic picture on the internet.
Oh no-divorce him, take him to court for all he is worth, go to a psychiatrist and claim cruel and abusive treatment, etc.
Sex pervades this society like it or not, and what people do, say and think is a product of that.
Believe me in most cases if a woman goes ballistic because her husband flirted with someone in the work place(the key word is only), then in my estimation there isn't much trust on the woman's part, and it could even border on paranoia.
Adultery is one thing, but a little harmless fun in the workplace such as in the above instance is something else.

Damn, he made one post and got banned Good one Monte

Whitenation, what is that nazi cult

Take your hatred else where

[CheechB03]

what goes on in israel is irrelevant....when your staring at a girl and telling her she looks hot what are you usually thinking to yourself? Guys dont give "good natured" pinches....its more like a i want to get in your pants pinch....why should that kind of crap be allowed in a workplace? it shouldnt imo.

Jeff, I disagree with you 100% I think age has lots to do with it. When I pay a girl a compliment it doesn't mean I want to fuck her. I'm a touchy-feely kind of guy. It's how I was raised. Relatives and friend were greeted with hugs. I understand times have changed. That's what we are discussing here.
The changes are not in all cases for the betterment of society. Sometime the changes create more problems.

Also, Savage is making the Israeli comparison because in the grand scheme sexual harrassment pales in comparison to what's going on in Iraq and Lebonon. Those are more important issues than 'inappropiate touching'.

If I tell a female co-worker she looks hot is that harrassment? Yes

If I tell the same female co-worker she looks great in that outfit is that harrassment? Probably. But should it. Of course not. Some people are just too fucking uptight.

I am the biggest loser ever. i have no life and need to act cool on the internet.

LOL yep

You would have been the last guy on this site that i would have considered touchy fealy

This is the problem in a nutshell

What constitutes flirting? My ex-GF often accused me of flirting. I wasn't. Should I stifle my outgoing, good sense of humor personality? Of course not. Isn't that what she fell in love with? Of course it is. It's unfair for any person to ask and expect another to change.

All I can say is if I am in fact only "renting" my wife, she represents probably the best value of anything I have ever "rented" before.

I agree. What you see is what you get.
It is generally accepted that if you see something in a person BEFORE you marry him/her, don't expect it to get any better AFTER you marry him/her(and thats being optimistic;it will probably get worse).

[rented mule]

I can't be sure, but i'm going to go out on a limb and say there are a lot of divorced/unmarried guys in this thread.
