Is it wrong for married women to flirt?
|
Working as a police officer, I get a lot of flirting from the married ladies. Admittedly, I look younger, and am quite good-looking and I'm sure the uniform gives me that air of authority that "bad girls" crave.
Is their behavior wrong? Some have gone as far as to outright proposition me. How should I respond to them so as not to offend? Many of their husbands are prominent in this small town...

I don't think it is wrong to flirt some but do they flirt with their husbands also? If someone is doing something with someone outside the relationship that they won't or don't do with their spouse than that is a problem. |

yep. thats wrong.
just straight up: pause for a second, look at them, and go "aren't you married?" if you know their husbands name, say "aren't you married to so-and-so?" and watched their stunned expressions 8) itll be funny =) |

Of course it's wrong. And excuse me for saying, you sound a bit stuck on yourself. Tell them you're taken. |

Be professional about it. They might just be looking for a way to stay out of trouble. Its wrong for them to do that. |

Flirting is okay, so long as it is done tactfully and in a classy manner.
Just do not take it beyond that. If some proposition you, then that is going beyond that. Tell them they have crossed the line. Trust me, they will like you more and you look like one classy cop AND you will make hubby happy. |

You know your Boundaries!!!!..You got briefed in the Academy....
When you are in that uniform you represent the Police department........When you are off duty..at least last time i checked you are STILL a police officer on call at a moments notice when needed.....
Don't cross the line or your will be sorry... |

Just say you're flattered, but you're not going to risk ruining your reputation and a promising career for 15 minutes in bed with them. It just isn't worth it. |

I feel it is wrong, for they are offering something that really cannot be acted upon |

yes, it's wrong for married women to flirt
as for you, just ignore their "flirting" unless they start grabbing you, or touching you, then say it's innappropriate conduct, keep their hands to themselves...! |

Married people - men or women - should NOT be flirting, but some people just can't seem to stop. Their behavior is wrong - especially if they think it will influence you in your official position, such as persuade you not to issue a ticket, for example. If that's the case, you should be polite,firm, and business-like, simply doing what your job requires. However, if the wman has committed no offense other than flirting, maybe because she likes a man in uniform, especially one who looks young & attractive, then you need to treat her as you would treat any married woman who flirts with you. Again, be polite but firm. Simply let tham kno that you are aware they're married, that you know their husbands, & couldn't possibly be interested, maybe that you "know" they're just being nice,etc. You need to do this in a way that doesn't mislead them, especially if you misread their intentions. You're walking a fine line here. Just be polite & stick to police business ( even excuse yourself from the conversation saying you have another matter to attend to to end a conversation). It's tough but you can handle it, I'm sure! |

harmless flirting is ok as long as they don't go too far.
be polite and thank them for their compliments and make sure you don't say anything that may encourage them to go that little further. if they make you feel a little uncomfortable let them know that you have a job to do and that's where you're focus is above everything else when you're on the job. |

They are either trying to get out of a ticket or they really have no moral character and could care less about their husbands.
I would be professional and just ignore their behavior. You might even go so far as to tell them that they are being in appropriate and that you are not that type of officer. |

do you really have to ask?
if you wanted to flirt back to go further would you be able to do it in front of them prominent husbands? |

yes it is wrong to flirt with other ladies. and if other ladies flirt with u, be honest, YOU'RE MARRIED! |

Stop asking questions, that you should have been trained to respond to those type of comments. Don't let them tamper with your integrity and act professional at all times. Don't respond to their obvious methods of persuasion to not get the ticket. Why worry about the moral issues here, when it's your job you are suppose to be doing. I think you are too sheltered in this small town and losing focus on how to perform it......... |

Of course it's wrong for a married woman to flirt! I can see why you would be bothered by this. I wouldn't be worried about not offending them, if a guy was flirting with me and I knew he was married, that would offend me! |

Being a married woman myself =) I think a bit of flirting doesn't hurt anyone. But if these women are straight up disrespectful and shameless then it's wrong.
Sometimes we just like to feel that we're attractive to other people too and not just our husbands. When a woman looks at my husband or subtly flirts with him it makes ME feel good because I know he's hot and other women think so too! It's gives us a little self steem boost! |

Yes it is wrong for married women to flirt. If I were you I would just tell them to go home and flirt with there husbands and that you do not fool around with married ladies. If you do you are just asking for trouble. |
