Stories where Donald hits on women

[Hector]

There are stories, created by Barks or other creators, where Donald
gets attracted to a woman (usually duck formed) and tries to date
her. So, what about Daisy? I have three explanations...
1. Those stories take place before Donald met Daisy. The nephews
are usually part of the plot in such stories, so maybe we can deduce
Donald met Daisy after he took custody of Hewey/Lewey/Dewey.
2. Donald and Daisy were currently on a break.
3. Donald is the typical male. Even though he's in love with his
girlfriend, he easily gets carried away by other good looking females.

You're forgetting #4: it was a staple of humor at the time that men would hit on attractive women, and get clobbered for it.

The Donald-Daisy relationship has never struck me, in animation or in the comics, as as solid or durable as the Mickey-Minnie one. Donald's somewhat flawed personality seems to have made it acceptable for him to have a wandering eye, in a way Mickey has never been allowed to. The panels where Gottfredson's "middle-aged" Mickey is shown ogling attractive women always struck me as out-of-character. Donald and Daisy have both genuinely played the field, whereas any outside dating that Mickey or Minnie have done has been simply to make the other one jealous. Mickey and Minnie are practically married; the same can't really be said about Donald and Daisy.

That's typical for a male?

The wandering eyes and innocent flirting certainly is. Sneak-dating less so, and cheating having sexual relations, even less common, but still reasonably common.

[Monkey_Feyerabend]

Yes, I was referring to "sneaky-dating" of course, not to "looking and talking to other women". It is not typical at all to try to date other people when you are in a relation, if by typical one means 'common'.

Then ok. I must be the only idiot who does not work on asynchronous concurrent processors.

What did your friends "cheating" on their ladyfriends do to your own ability to trust them?

[iggy]

Nothing, I accepted the way people are long ago, even those we do trust are far from perfect

Well, the right answer to your question is in deb's post. What else can we do for you?

It was a few posts that evolved naturally from discussion. If it got going further on and on, I'd move them to a thread on the appropriate place.

I didn't mean i've got a problem with that. I could tell you a lot
about how i view intersexual relationships, if i was allowed to do
so at the Lounge. But i had a feeling that, if i opened such
discussions, i'd be punished again, like that time i asked about
afterlife.
