We're going to have to look to Mr. Turner for a ruling on the "age split" exception.

Reading this thread (besides give me a good belly laugh) makes me realize just how lucky I am... Trust is just the default in our relationship, Do I think she looks at other men, absolutely! And why shouldn't she? Does she think I "size" other women, especially when I ride? Yup! Do I trust her to be faithful, and she me? Yup... Does not matter where you get your appetite from as long as you eat at home

Some people need to chill, are all cyclists this sexually repressed? Or just the ones that chat on the internet?

Funny thing is now on my next group ride I am going to wonder who is there on the prowl

I guess thats true. Both Heff and 10 Wheels can publish their photos...

Hey Machoman ...

it's Tuner. Not Turner. I'm a piano tuner.

Lots of money can make any man attractive to some women.

To address the original question, I think only you can know the answer to this. If your riding partner started showing romantic interest in you, would that be tempting?

I never worry about my girl cheating it's other men I don't trust. She's hot, I hear it from friends all the time, on top of that she's cool as hell! Poor me! But that said, she tells me when guys cross the line, vice versa. If I trusted her to ride with a friend (which I would) and she told me he said something inappropriate, you could guarantee there'd be a confrontation. (I have Alpha male syndrome). Guys are guys, when were single and a guy has a hot girl/wife we envy that. It's natural. I'd tryst the married person, not the single person. I let her read this thread last night and she agrees. Our group ride is tonight and I usually leave her to ride with the fast group. She's been actively asking in the group to rude with other women at her level so she can be competitive as well instead of getting dropped by her man.

That's why I ask...how slow the OP is. Me and my girl both wondered why he'd be cruising with her, I'm positive I'd drope all the hot chicks in our group...cuz I do!

My best cycling friend is a gal.

My wife refers to her as my "bicycle girlfriend."

Some of the arguments on here for why it can't/shouldn't be done are not too philosophically removed from segregating sexes, dressing women in burkas, and only interacting with chaperones for fear that one thing might lead to another, or a man might not be able to control his lascivious thinking, or there may be the appearance of impropriety, or trust issues will go into meltdown.

If you know yourself well enough to know that you can't interact with the opposite sex on a peer - nonsexual basis, then keep yourself out of those situations. Should probably take a good hard look at your workplace too since you may end up working one-on-one with a person of the opposite sex.

However, I like to live with the happy illusion that men and women can be cycling partners and friends, and that as rational human beings everyone can be okay with that.

X-act-ly

Age? And on a scale of 1-10 how hot are you two? I would think a pair of 57 year old 4's could hang whereas 34 year old 7's might be an issue over a long period. Not saying youre old or ugly. But it might give more depth to the statement....reply with pics only lol

I am surprised PCad hasn't chimed in yet.

Okay, mature people get out. There is no need for that in this thread...

A rare display of good sense on his part.

Followed this thread for a bit, find it pretty funny! As a retired sailor and a happily married man after 22 years I can tell you most men are dogs! I understand the whole trust thing but women can get pretty jealous and us men too. My take on it is if there is a group not an issue if you have a female riding partner and you find yourself even the slightest bit attracted then your best bet is to not ride with her. Don't set yourself up for failure! Just don't put yourself in a situation where there is the slightest chance of things going south. Don't let the ego get in the way and think it is cool to be riding around with a hot chick. If that is the case get your wife out there riding! Anywho you tread potentially deadly ground setting yourself up! Ride with the hot chica on the group rides!

so people should avoid actions that may be perceived as evil.

interesting, especially if you are a christian.

the bible has stories of jesus talking with women, even a woman by a well...from a different click, yo.

then again, the story of king david starts with a dude that is getting off by peeping at a married woman as she bathes, then he has her husband killed, and then he pumps her. all he had to do was apologize to the god he believed in.

living in fear of perception is ridiculous.

i have an ass-wetting/mind-blowing statement.

as a young man i am still able to prevent myself from trying to inseminate (i.e., skeet skeet skeet)
all attractive women i have contact with.

do any of you work with women?

also: sexuality is not bad. having "it" is not bad either.

if having sex requires that you break a contract, an act of deception, or if it involves non-consent, or if it is done with the intent to cause harm, then it is wrong.

now i know a lot of you 6' 130lb studs, and 5'6" 190lb hunk-muffins are just absolutely pleasing to the female eye, there is also a chance that the hot collegiate in the group ride is actually not attracted to your old man funk that permeates the peloton of soccer dads with 33% body fat.

its crazy. i know.

sometimes people can share a common form of enjoyment.

another thing: men are not dogs or pigs if they want to have a lot of sex or orgasms. such men are actually just men.

maybe sex is natural. but then again, producing billions of baby-makers which actually become more defective the longer they stay inside, and attack each other viciously if they travel inside the egg-zone, and also producing lemmeskeet hormones during a significant portion of their lives, just maybe it may indicate that just about every living thing has some innate burning desire for the propagation of the species. the method of propagation might play tricks on us, but it might just be not such a bad thing.

....and this thread goes into the toilet in 3............2........

An Angel I'd ride with anytime:



Just the female touch this thread needs.

Definitely not a zombie. Just give it time.

Sigh.

go ask your wife.. or her husband.

I heard the flush.

You (or anyone else for that matter) can choose to live any way you want, and take whatever consequences result. It's up to you, but I'm not on that road myself.

It's not like you say above, but I'm not going to get into all this in this forum. I believe there is a politics and religion forum for that.

Interesting discussion. Everything from Heff to Heyzuse.

I like women. I like everything about them. I am physically attracted to them. I enjoy their company. In 28 years of marriage, I have had plenty of opportunity to stray, at work, on the road, cycling, shopping, dining, wherever.

Do I have and recognize genetic instinct? Of course. I would be lying if I said I didn't. Do I act on it? No. I like my life and love my wife and have enough self-control to squash acting on an instinct.

In riding with several women athletes, sure there are some that initially spark that instinct but that is where it stops. That simple. I certainly don't ride with them hoping I can tap one and don't avoid them in fear of them or myself. I like where I am at and govern myself accordingly.

I thought I did.. until post 167.

I think were missing the fact that the OP had to ask which means he has issues with the situation himself. Or the other party does

Correct

I guess we might as well totally derail this thing.

Now I'd ride with any of these girls!
