Why do men get mad at their women if another guy hits on them?
My husband told me he is pissed off at me for showing my face on sites or games I actively use (Y!A, Facebook [though he can't really say much about that..] etc..) because of the risk of *gasp* somebody else finding me attractive and saying so. If he feels that way, why wouldn't he expect me to cover my face in public or just be reclusive and not go anywhere, since, as a female, I'm bound to get male attention anyways? Seriously though, I've always had unwanted male attention, I've had to verbally assault guys for saying anything out of line, because I've never cared for superficial attention from people I don't know, so it actually kind of hurts me that he would be mad at ME for something I can't exactly control. Sure, I could take the pictures down, and things would be hunky dory, but I honestly don't see the point if I'm not posting inappropriate pictures, or pictures I wouldn't want my grandmother to see. With all that being said, I'll revert to my question: Why do men get mad at their wives/girlfriends if they are being hit on by someone else?
Why SHOULD I hide myself? I'm not always with him when I'm in public, so you think I should wear a facial vail to hide myself because by stepping out without him I'm an open target? You make me sick.
Comment above was directed @ J. Jerk.
@Sandhog why would I get mad at HIM over something HE didn't do. If some girl is checking him out, sure I'd be annoyed with the situation, but never ever would I blame him for it,especially if he wasn't doing anything to invite the attention. I try to see the logic and be fair when approaching him about something bothering me, and it is NOT logical or fair to be mad at someone for what someone else has done. Understand now?

I dont think it is about you, it is about him, he might be feeling that some guy is going to hit on you and you might respond, this does not mean he thinks you are a cheater he might just be suffering from low self esteem, and knows that he loves you and thinks you are beautiful and doesn't want other men hitting on you because he knows what guys are like. I think he is behaving normally about something he cares about. Hope this helps.

In certain cultures (including my own), it's a compliment to be upset when a man hits on you. In others, it's not a big deal. It all depends on what race you and you're honey are from. Where I come from, it's a compliment for a man to be a bit jealous, but not entirely jealous. From my White friends, it's no bit deal to have a man to hit on them. It's all about not only the background of your significant other, but also about what you're willing to deal with.

Look at the other side of the coin.
Be honest, if only with yourself: Are you saying that you wouldn't tear him a new one if some cookie was coming on to him?
Didn't think so.

Men are naturally jealous and territorial. Just keep calmly explaining to him that although they may hit on you, doesn't mean you do it back or are into them. Remind him that you married and love him and no one else, and eventually he should somewhat get it lol

Why would you have pics of only YOU on any site? You are practically just showing that you are single, which you are not, but other men dont know that, do they?. Anyways, that pic you have on there looks pretty trampy and just looks like you are ready to reply to any dirty messages that any guy would send you. (not saying that you will, but your husband would really love seeing your inbox full of those type of messages right?) I have a facebook but i have a pic where im kissing my girlfriend, not where im alone and showing my sixpack.
Lol, i didnt say hide yourself did i? *sigh* you wont get it nevermind, you are just another dumb broad. Go ahead and keep posting single pics of yourself.
