She can be pumping gas or buying groceries and if she's hot, she's going to get hit on. This is a non-poker issue!
Would you rather have a girlfriend that other guys aren't into? Or cover her in caution tape?
c'mon pez :-).
there's a big difference b/w getting hit on for a second in the grocery store, or pumping gas, or whatever, and being hit on consistently for long periods of time at a poker table. especially if she's a dealer.
of course there's a sense of pride that comes with it but it's also just annoying after a while. the dealer i dated sent me a text on her break (i gave her my #) and said "this is my #. don't give it out. i NEVER give my # to poker players...but i dunno, i guess you're lucky ;-)"
but while i was playing it was kinda annoying to look over and always see all sorts of guys hitting on her literally all the time. i'm not the jealous type either. i trusted her but there's only so much of the constant guy attention that i 'feel' is ok (obv everybody has diff limits or whatever so this is just me).
in any case, i am fine w/ gfs getting hit on as that's expected...like i said...men gunna be men. just that a casino and an enclosed environment's a bit different imo.
i'd bet that if this bothers me even remotely, then most guys would be going bat**** crazy b/c i'm about as laid back as one can be about this stuff.
one ex of mine from RI had an exbf that was so consumed w/ jealousy that one time she told him a funny story about some guy who balled up a piece of paper with his # on it and threw it through her open passenger side window giving her the "call me" sign with his hand on the ear. she told her ex this story and his response was "oh great. wtf...did you suck him off?!?!"
mine woulda been to laugh and share in the funny story.
given that you're a girl poker player (again, sorry about the initial confusion on that point LOLL), you have to kinda at least see what i'm talking about right? there's a difference b/w casino hitting on and random pumping gas/grocery store hitting on...
...or am i just as crazy as i feel typing this long rambling post?
PS --> love the visual image of covering her in caution tape. that's pretty good. i may use that.
