From the telephone pole to the drilling rig.

We all know grocery store chatting is the first step and the second is getting spit roasted in the back of a Camaro. That guy should never take his wife outside again.

see my other post..

It is happening in my area.

Ratio of men to women, guys lonely away from their wives and gf's for months at a time, guys out of town who don't care what they say or do versus being in their hometown-just as people act differently in Vegas versus what they would do at home, pent up sexual energy and frustration

I could go on and on...come to my area and see what is happening and you change your tune.

Married 16 years here never once has a male approached my wife in a store.

Yes, it happens all the time.

16 years of going to stores with her in three different states never once.

Now stop trying to mansplain to me how being female in public works.

..lot different than a married woman being alone and being hit upon versus the husband being right there.

"If he turns his back on her at Walmart, there are guys talking to her when he returns.”

The point lefty mom is these guys are being brazen above the normal male female contact-what we are familiar with. These guy's know the husband is right there and the point is they don't care.

I am very fit(hence my user name).. I have been flirted with, even asked out but my wife was never around. And no never took them up on it. I take my marriage vows very seriously and besides my wife is my best friend in life

of all sorts for years. I haven't been hit on, nor have I ever noticed women getting hit on either. I have also worked in plenty of stores, and waited tables. Again, no woman hit on.

- an actual female

Apparently I was "mansplaining".

Good to have some back up.

I don't know what the deal is. It isn't as if you said something nasty.

I might catch hell but the term "mansplaining" that was directed to you by another poster sounds sexist to me. Kuddos to both you and fitman.

Now to .

my wife is attractive and fit and never once has she been hit upon in a store while I have been with her...and she would have told me if she was..yeah we are that close.

prostitution is rampant.. I don't think drugs so much those guys are constantly tested. Sheriff deputy I know says they are ignoring the prostitution.. women are charging $500-600 and the guys are paying it-hitting up 5-6 guys per day..these guys are working 7 days per week and rolling in $125-150 K per year or more plus they are paid for their housing and food above that

I have spoken with many of the workers-they hit up a local restaurant my wife and I go to near the RV park..most are very sad and lonely and hate the job..one guy had 3 days off total since March when we talked with him in September...again, 7 days per week 12-14 hour days.. Many have lost their wives and gf from being away so long and cheating by these guys is rampant.

Have only met a handful who like the job and what it does to their life..most say they are only going to do it for a few more years then quit.

And people wonder why these jobs remain unfilled..there is co's in my area begging for workers..

Welcome to the oil patch.

No one should be shocked by this at all.

Sounds like an opportunity for entrepreneurs.

Not you, OP. The article
