So I notice, when I travel, men who are traveling, have a wandering eye. It doesn't matter how I look or what I am wearing, but you guys are still looking, wedding rings and all. So I have this theory, I get it. You're on travel. You're like a kid in a candy store. How do you act? Are you testing the waters or do you lay low? Is this your opportunity to pretend or fantasize or perhaps make fantasy a reality?

In my exp growing up and into my early 30s. I would have been completely intimidated by a good looking woman. Since I started this hobby, the looks no longer intimidate. The attitude I have towards Civie  women  is that i have been with way hotter, smarter and better in bed than you so you aint all that.  

what a clever post! love it

Too many hot women out there  
but not enough time or money to chase them all.  
A guy only has 1 dick and can't stick em as much as he'd like to.  

I eyes never wander, man or woman alike. I can't bring myself to do it but, based on your observation that the eye-wanderers are traveling men, I can imagine that if a stranger just walked into your room, you would take a closer look, perhaps for weapons or even LE badges.

When travelingwoman will always catch my attention but that is about all it is. I have no interest in "civies". But I definitely have plenty of entertainment scheduled when I travel.

and now that I am in the hobby, I don't worry about civies. Too much drama and emotional roller-coaster. Part of my wandering eye is looking for that glance back from the lady that in a quick moment communicates "I could be interested in you". Doesn't happen in DC where there is no casual eye contact, but it does in most other cities.
Now, my wandering eye in airports is looking to see if I can spot you wonderful ladies while traveling. Have spotted several, even though you may be dressed conservatively. Have even spotted several traveling with clients.

I see that Megan is staying up late again, coming up with good questions.   I tease, but I really like it.

Most definitely

Makes perfect sense to me. MD

I dont act much differently when in or out of town however, Im pretty sure I act differently around women in general.
There was a time I would, on occasion, be approached by women in clubs and asked something like  
"What is with you..You dont dance or talk with women in here."  
That was because I was absolutely clueless as to what to say to avoid sounding as lame as I thought I was. So I rarely initiated conversation. Now Im comfortable talking to anyone..pretty sure she will turn out not to be all that anyway, so it dosent matter..And there is always the chance she is, so might as well go for it..  
Like others here though, Im not particulary interested in "civies"..
Never would have thought that when I started.
 

for a familiar favorite. With women being so heavily outnumbered by men in business travel, I think most women get much more attention than they would when they are traveling, so I try not to be too blatant.

I'm at a different point in the process than most who have answered.  After a long and (at least to my mind) happy marriage, I had the pleasure of two DDG SO's half my age or less.  One lived with me for 5 years before cancer took her from me.  Both were so attractive that when out with my friends and one would point out some particularly attractive woman, I could, with all honesty, use a familiar put down response, "I have better than that at home!"

Actually, I prefer strip clubs or bars on travel- especially if I don't know the lay of the land, and I'm in an area not really served by TER (like Hampton Roads or Indiana); but I do agree with you, that it's hard to be intimidated by any civvie, when you're getting the attention of some of the most beautiful, fascinating women in the world!

Sounds like a nice life.

...I wonder if you think women on travel have just as much of a wandering eye as men.  I have found this to be the case in Vegas, but I don't travel much for work or solo.

everyone looks (even women)... I was told by a friend "I'm Married, not Buried"
- it does matter what you are wearing, sometimes its the shoes, or its the way the clothes are cut
- If I get eye contact with a little return wow factor (i.e interest back) then I begin the quest (not laying low)
- Pretend? Fantasize? why waste the time when you can get what you want with a little effort
