Are women more attracted to men if...

the man is going out with a woman.

I always noticed this. If I'm single, they're all attention seeking and so forth. However, if I'm going out with someone, they are all throwing those seductive eyes and smiles. Possibly a case of wanting what you can't have.

It's a confidence thing. When you're getting a regular dosage, you don't appear as desperate for the clunge. B*itches don't like desperate. We like a Rico Suave motherlover.

Science.

Them. All the single ladies, all the single ladies.

Women are the devil

Think it says more about you op!:D You probably don't even notice those glances when you aren't "tied down"!
The answer is no, if you attract us, you attract us whether you are single or otherwise engaged!

For that brief moment you are going out with someone you are washed clean of the smell of "Want".
Women run from "Want".

This is also true. Men with girlfriends generally dress better and smell less like cigarettes, self love and body odor.

That's because they don't shower themselves with Lynx!

It's the challenge pal, no matter if you are packing a thick 9.5 incher with five bars of power, once you are with somebody, they rise to the challenge.

human nature...i say, human nature

Wolfe Tone

A few women seem suspicious of single men, why is he single? They see a couple, the gf looks happy, she wants him now

minidazzler

It's not really a wanting what you can't have thing. It's social proof...he's good enough for someone, he is probably good enough for me.

Its social approval, if someone else picked you, then you must have acceptable qualities. Therefore you are more likely to be chosen at first glance without having to prove yourself elseways

I generally find myself slightly less attracted to men if they are going out with a man.

Generally, not always.

In fact sometimes it even helps.

starbelgrade

It's because single people are single because there is something wrong with them.

Simples.

A couple of studies have shown that an attached man all things being equal is more attractive to women. Mate preselection and all that. He's passed one woman's tests so likely to be OK and safer too. Filters out the weirdos I'd reckon. http://www.synergy-pr.com/press/MelissaBurkley,PhD/51/800/0

Guys with girlfriends no longer give out that reek of insecure desperation.

That and the lack of beer goggles usually required to do any chatting up probably aids the ability to see who's fluttering eye-lashes at whom...

Cupcake_Crisis

For me it's wanting what i cant have, even if i could have had it before and didnt want it then. Im a complex creature!

Nah...it's that bitches love a harem.

I thought it's just they want someone else to have house-broken him...no?

I think this is the real reason to be honest. I don't act any differently when I'm single or not so I don't know if I was giving off this reek of desperation that apparently we do!

Sums it up pretty well i'd say

Idbatterim

This social approval thing is bit questionable. I bet everyone here has been in and out of relationships, the fact that you are now out of one, also shows good qualities. No one is going to stay in a crap relationship because of " social proof"!

Awww, I'm sure you smell lovely.

The point being it's unlikely to be the fact there is a woman standing next to him or a wedding ring on the finger in itself that is the attraction - the attraction is the challenge of "getting" a guy who isn't (or shouldn't be) interested...ergo those who are actively looking for a hook up must be/appear/seem less attractive.

I dunno, I'm not into sloppy seconds so I tend to avoid peeps that are taken. :cool:

like others here said its proof, a bit like an nct cert.

now excuse me ladies i must answer my girlfriends telephone call from a distant country.

I just came up with a new chat-up line:

"Hi. I have a girlfriend and I'm not interested in you".

The Agogo

It's like the fact that's it is easier to get a job if you already have one.

It's a confidence thing.

Single women are more attracted to men in relationships because they have a woman's stamp of approval.

However, women in relationships are more attracted to single guys, because they seem more independent, less crushed by nagging etc.

In other words women are never happy?

Some are. I didn't mean that all women in relationships actually want single guys. Only that if a woman in a relationship fancies someone else, it will probably be a single guy.

A male friend tested this theory one night and wore a ring on his wedding finger. He was excited cuz he got the offer of lots more poontang than usuals... I tried to explain that's cuz he went to Coppers but he wouldn't listen.

Second week of trials coming soon, I'll let yas know!

You reckon? I'd say a load do. Though many more women than men I'd reckon. Sad to say there are a lot of women out there either not that pushed about the guy they're with or even in really crappy relationships that are afraid to leave and god forbid be single :eek:.

grungepants

I wouldnt feel more attracted to a taken guy, but I would say that a lot of girls would. Tbh i think its the thrill of the chase and seeing how far they can get really.

women just want drama, the whole reproduction thing is second place, men are just accessories.

Idbatterim

even if the "social proof" thing is true. Men that some or all of the following qualities i.e good looking, wealthy, have nice car, good education, GSH are going to have higher social proof anyway.

I think there is definitely an element of wanting what you can't have

It could also be that they are more comfortable and relaxed around a lad in a relationship.

Kimono-Girl

Along with "the grass is always greener on the other side"

my partner fully admits before he met me a girl wouldn't have looked twice at him, but then i felt no guy would hav looked twice at me before i met him, in fact he felt most of them ignored him, after he got with me he said suddenly women got much friendlier chatting away,

perhaps he was more relaxed now he is with someone...

or maybe because he is taken makes him more appealling?

we choose to believe the first one
