The Man Stealer

One of the things I don’t quite get is the assumption by other women that just because I’m single I’m a slut or out to get their man. I can’t stand it! I’ve noticed at dinner parties or wedding receptions that if I’m talking to someone’s husband or boyfriend for longer than five minutes then they come up beside them and stand like a prison guard with a quaint smile on their face or they pull them away with some excuse. Now I don’t honestly care that they are cutting the conversation short but it’s just the assumption that I have ulterior motives or something. And it’s not just me. My other single friends have described feeling this way as well. I just want to say get a freaking grip! You were single once. Everyone has been at some point or another. Why be so territorial? One of my friends said that was an indicator that the woman had a low self esteem thus the reason for her being so overprotective but I don’t know about that. As many of my friends that have experienced this treatment that’s a lot of women with low self esteems. I think it’s just perhaps female internal nature, that maybe all of us have but are able to tune it out.
