Why Are Single Women Attracted to Married Men?

July 10th 2009 08:03
Single Women
Here’s the scenario:

You've been single longer than a cheese slice and no matter how good the pick-up lines, you come away looking or like loser.

Then, having decided that no matter how many bicep curls you do at the gym during the week or how much David Beckom aftershave you wear - when it comes down to it all you really have left is your dignity.


That's when you notice the bar a guy - who really isn't trying too hard. Well dressed but hardly another Fabio in designer demin, whose getting an abnormally high amount of attention and knee-slapping laughs from attractive women.

The same women who didn't even pay you a ounce of attention.

What's more he's wearing a wedding band.

So what gives?

Like a moth to a flame, it seems some single women are drawn to a man in a relationship.

Coincidence- or is there reasoning behind this phenomenon?

My theory is this:

1) I once read that attached men give off a stronger pheromone as they are already sexually active and this drives sexually hungry people into a frenzy (so to speak). This is why if you are single for ages and ages and then you get lucky and start dating someone - as soon as this happens you are more attractive to others and opportunity keeps slapping you in the face. Of which you have the mental dillemna of guilt coupled with the "One in the hand is worth two in the bush" syndrome.

2) Some women enjoy the challenge

3) Other women (or gay gents) feel more comfortable around an attached person as they feel safe and that there is no sexual energy there - problem with this one is that they then relax and let down there guard and then point 1 comes into effect.

I think all three of Jason's, plus:

4) he's been given a seal of approval by another woman.

Nice theories.

I think point 2. is more prevalent than many people realise - or so I'm led to believe . . .

Good onya champion

It's funny how the men (in the main) can't, or choose not to, see the proverbial prowler - whereas women see them a mile off.

Is this evolutionary?

women would much rather nab a fully trained guy than put the hard-yards in with a newbie

think about it, is it harder to steal another womans husband, already broken of all his bad habits, or is it harder to start fresh with an inexperienced recruit?

its all about time management

Morgan makes a good point.... it's the same thing as with horses - a wild, unbroken one is far less valuable than one that has been through years of training and refinement. And we are all running short on time these days.

MNG, you mean the female prowler? Yeah we can spot her for sure, but most are clever enough to avoid detection by the 'owning' female. As for whether it's evolutionary.... I could only speculate. What do you reckon?

Maybe I live under a rock or something, because I've never been interested in anyone who's married. It's like they deveop repultion powers or something- they just don't feature on my radar.

I can't say that I've ever really noticed the phenomena. If I know a man is married or attached, no matter how attractive he is, it's just a switch that goes on and that person is a no-go zone.

On the other hand, I'm single and have been for quite some time and most of the men who flirt or proposition me are married. What gives with that?

Broken of all bad habits or sometimes just broken

I would've thought the single girl would have been more interested in the adventure of a brazen colt than simply a trail ride . . .

As for the prowler - they certainly make an art form of hijacking that's for sure.

Stay well

But do you feel more comfortable in the company of these guys knowing that all they really have to offer is good humour, conversation and a safe (well relatively) outlook?

I guess they're the tyre kicking types with no intention of ever buying.

It's the old check out the menu but eat at home mentality I assume.

Call their bluff one day and watch them squirm . . .

And I'm guessing you're one of the untouchables?

I like Morgan's line of thinking! However, I myself have never been interested in a married man. I could never be the "other woman." That would just suck.

My father had a similar experience. Once my mom became pregnant with me, he became more attractive to her friends, and two of them even seriously came on to him.

I suppose he had proven himself to be a fertile male, or maybe it was just jealousy?

Mr. Nice Guy, I'm now in relationship and I realized that my girlfriend have the same characteristic as you've mentioned above! Is this meant that I'm now in serious danger? Alert....

Wilson-

I'm not Mr. Nice Guy, but I understand you're thinking. After I got together with my girlfriend, more guys were leaving her wall posts on her Facebook and it flowing through the grapevine that the ex before me wasn't over her and trying to get her back.

All I can say is, if she really loves you and is worth the love between the two of you, she'll stay where she is.

Wow...ok getting off romantic soapbox now....
