I think it is way out of line. If the woman works for a hospital and a man is in charge giving out gifts during a holiday season, he needs to address them to her husband and her. A married woman should not be receiving gifts from unrelated men because that is a form of flirting and trying to steal another man's wife by flattery. I don't care if it is an egg and cheese biscuit, a man has no business giving a married woman anything unless it was something she dropped or lost. Agreed?

I think anyone can give anyone else a gift without any underlying reason.

Disagreed. You are simple too jealous judging by this question. I think that a man giving a married woman a gift is fine if it's a friend of hers. If theres no reason behind it, like it's not her birthday or a holiday, if the man DOES flirt with her and try to flatter her then there is a problem with it. But other wise no. Married woman can have male/guy friends, there is nothing wrong with that

I think it's a nice gesture if a man gives a women a gift regardless of them being related or not. It is not always a form of flirting, just a way of saying Thank you and a way of the person presenting the gift appreciating what the person receiving the gift has done.

No, I don't agree. If it is a gift out of friendship or professionalism where the guy ONLY knows the married woman through a professional environment, then why should he address it to both, if it is intended only for employees or a group of friends that are colleagues? I was married and the male music teacher was the nicest guy I ever met. We don't have many male teachers in our building, so of course it was only natural for him to befriend the female teachers as well in our building. He gave out gifts for Christmas, samples of his band's cd, and small tokens of friendship to remember him by as he was transferred to another grade/school--to select teachers who were more good friends than just the teacher who brought students to his class. And yes, there were about 5 female teachers in that situation. We all hugged him and he kissed us all on the cheeks. We will really miss him and his loving, gentle ways with the children. And, yes, he is married, too. Some people are just more thoughtful and affectionate than others, without hidden agendas or detrimental intentions.

Why does a gift have to be flirting? Why can't it be what it is - a gift? She has male friends, male colleagues that may give her a gift from time to time. As long as the intent is pure and she is open about the gift to her husband, it should be fine.

The woman probably also shouldn't be working outside the home where she might come in contact with gentlemen who may have impure thoughts about her and try to persuade her into an adulterous extra-marital relationship.
Too bad we live in 2007 and it's not the gosh darned 1950's.

I disagree. A non-personal girft in a safe environment is acceptable. I understand if some guy at work gave just her a flower and box of candy, but this is her boss and it was a mutual gift to everyone.

No..sorry, I don't agree. My husband gets gifts during holiday seasons from the receptionist at work...big deal. Don't be so insecure.

If the gift can be brought home without any hint of impropriety, then under the circumstances, I see no issue with it.
Now, if the guy is giving lingerie.....
That's a problem. BIG problem.

I think it's sweet and called something being thoughtful. They could be friends or co-workers.
Of course that answer is assuming that you're being serious about all your questions.
