Very different, due to a few thousand years of historic difference in males propositioning females vs. females propositioning males, and historically an extreme imbalance in the power ratio between the genders in such situations.
Therefore, if it had been a male doing the propositioning, it would have been a simple case of obnoxious sexual harassment and wouldn't trigger or justify any of the humor which we find in this thread. In the current situation the male pax in F had no reason to feel threatened, nor did the FA's.
With that serious point concluded, I now return this thread to its regularly scheduled humor...

Good enough for the offer from the female "blonde up from Y" to not be considered obvious sexual harassment, then good enough for the offer from a male "blonde up from Y" to not be considered obvious sexual harassment either.

edit: Thanks, thesaints. I didn't have the balls to say it.
Although the man-with-wife is only saying he's feeling harassed.

Does the sex/gender-related double standard have something to do with male insecurity? It would seem to have to do with that -- whether that insecurity complex be about homosexuality or be it about heterosexual female partners "upgrading" to a better "services" provider.

If your first paragraph were to be generally representative of the prevailing male sentiment, then why is it that prostitution has remained against the law in so many places for so long and that prostitutes are pursued more vigorously by law enforcement for arrest and prosecution than clients of female prostitutes? The history of government's/society's approach against prostitutes/prostitution is a creation of female empowerment? There's a lot to be doubted about that.

I want any attractive woman to be able to proposition me whenever she may so desire, and I want to be able to do the same.

Of course not. They're exactly where they're supposed to be - At home, cleaning the house, taking care of the kids, and slaving over a hot stove in the kitchen to prepare a good meal for her man when he returns from his incredibly complex, important job that requires him to spend inordinate amounts of time in the air with cheerleaders wearing too much lip gloss

So you want any such man to be able to proposition you whenever he may so desire, and you want to be able to do the same too? No double standard then, otherwise it's just that.
