My husband and I play in a pool league, and this session some changes took place that resulted in us being on different teams. A couple weeks ago his team got a new member - the kind of woman I call a "poacher." She is young and attractive, wears short shorts with wedges, barely interacts with women but follows the men around and hangs on their every word. At the same time, she makes it a point to "prove" that she doesn't need a man and blah blah blah - the feminist stuff.
So tonight, my husband's team and mine were on opposite sides of the pool hall - too far to really see each other. This gal asked him to practice with her, and he did.
When we were driving home, he told me he'd felt uncomfortable about playing pool with her because past women he's known would have gotten all over his case about it.
So women... at what point would you feel threatened by another woman's presence or behavior? For me, there was only once and it was when a woman he knew in high school came up and started stroking his face and head and offering him free meals if he came to visit her at her workplace - all in my presence and after she was introduced. It made me mad because she was all but ignoring me as she did these things.
