The phrase "all men are pigs" is the same as "all women are desperate for attention." It's a sweeping generalization that reduces people to stereotypes. Before making assumptions like that, it’s only fair to listen to what they have to say.
There’s a discussion on Threads where married men have been opening up about how they react to finding other women attractive. Their candid responses kept things grounded and sparked a wider conversation about commitment, honesty, and self-control in long-term relationships.

I go, "oh, she's attractive." Then I get on with my life. I'm married, not blind.

Me: “Oh she’s hot!” *shows wife*
Her: “D**n she is hot..”
Believe it or not, I am emotionally intelligent enough to find women attractive and still obsess over my wife.

There is nothing wrong with attraction. You simply don’t disrespect yourself or your partner.

An attractive woman may brighten a moment, but my wife brightens my life.

That's easy. There are a lot attractive women. BUT
A combination of attractive, sensual, clever independent, humble and positive. That would be difficult.

In 39 years, I haven’t seen anyone in the wild as hot as my wife. If I happen to see one on tv, I’ll say to her “she’s almost as hot as you.”

Women are gonna be attractive, that’s normal. Realizing you got more than just attraction at home is the flex though.

Women are beautiful and attractive. You can find someone attractive and still be a loyal husband. We are married, not blind. I can see an attractive woman, admire her beauty, and go on with my day knowing I have the best girl at home.

My wife of 30 years was my dream girl the first time I saw her. Confident, tough, drop-dead GORGEOUS. She was walking across our production floor at work, with her cover-alls open, sleeves tied around her waist. Gawd- i was lost. From that day to this, she's been the only girl I think about. I've made sure every day that she knows it. She knows what she means to me. I'm always proving it to her. Over & over.

Once you’ve given a woman a pebble and she accepts it, that means you’re mates for life. We flap our flippers and squawk to keep other women away.

I can acknowledge that other women are attractive, but I don’t entertain the idea or stare. My eyes and my heart for my wife and my wife only.

Why some childish people think that men can only find their wife attractive ? Im married and I sometimes see other men that I find them attractive / hot. I then move on with my life LOL. Finding someone attractive just means you can see beauty and thats it. Doesnt have anything to do with being unfaithful or not lol.

It’s really simple. We chose each other.
ofc there are attractive people everywhere. Hell, I hope I seem attractive.
The difference is love. Sedimentary layers of bedrock that are as hard as I am for my wife / my love.

There's nothing wrong with finding someone attractive, hell my wife and I are both queer and can find the same person attractive. But there is nobody in this universe that I am MORE attracted to than my wife. The sun rises and sets on her and her alone.

When I was married, it was always about being committed to my wife, no one else had a place.

I'm not sure what you mean by "deal with". I'm not a eunuch, of course I appreciate the sight of an attractive lady, but I don't ogle. And my wife is abundantly all the woman I need.

The same way I deal with passing by Krispy Kreme when the HOT sign is on:
KEEP GOING.
Because I’ve got “ALL YOU CAN EAT” hot donuts at home

It’s perfectly OK to recognize that other women are attractive, chances are they put work into it just as men care about their appearance. Appreciating that in someone doesn’t have to be sexual, it can be simple respect. It has nothing to do with your marriage or your love for your spouse.
