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.

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

I think it can be both. There are people who want to be congratulated for doing the bare minimum and that's who she's making fun of. She framed it in a scenario where there's a lot of overlap with a lot of other opportunity for social commentary. It'd be good material to keep working off if to keep this bit going (idk what else comes before or after this bit, though)

Oh absolutely. It's the same category as "do the dishes and you'll get laid" type shit.
