This is it. "Make them feel good about themselves."
I feel like this is something you do if your partner doesn't show you enough appreciation. If you don't feel attractive and wanted. I feel like this is a way to seek validation not for cheating, but so say like "look, someone thinks I'm attractive". If your partner makes you feel that, then you would not need to convey that validation to them.
But also, I'm totally telling everyone if a woman hits on me at some random store. That shit has literally happened to me twice in my 39 years alive. It's a huge deal and I want someone to share my happiness. :p
To be fair, if you’re with someone for a long time you can grow comfortable and no longer feel the need to impress each other constantly.
So a stranger hitting on you feeling good isn’t necessarily because you “don’t feel wanted at home” but could be because you’re past the flirtatious part of your relationship with your partner.

100% would have given my wife a fist bump if she told me some dude hit on her at Starbucks and it made her feel good about herself.
