Do you believe in "taken" vibes?

Question

If a girl or guy is in a relationship and other people never attempt to approach them, is it that most people in general do not find them attractive? Or could it be that they give off a "taken" vibe in how they behave and relate to other people, which discourages others from approaching them for romantic purposes? What do you think?

I kind of believe in them. What I believe in more is single vibes. And I think taken vibes are just a lack of single vibes. There might be some things that indicate a person is taken, but I can't really think of anything right now.

I am living proof that single vibes exist. I didn't really notice them at all until a couple of months ago when I started to get into the single lifestyle and started to get interested in girls again for the first time after a 6 year relationship. I'd say that single vibes are just basic flirting. I wasn't aware until a few weeks ago that I was being really flirty with a lot of girls. Things like chatting to them a lot, smiling, complimenting them, making eye contact with random girls, trying to impress girls sometimes, even "checking girls out" (I used to think this was such a disgusting man thing, but recently I've started to check girls out almost as a compliment to them or a way of saying that I find them attractive - in a club or something, it's kind of the equivalent of saying "wow, you're hot"). I think someone who's not doing any of these things, seems reserved and not at all interested in girls, or someone who seems not to notice if you're a boy or a girl (they treat everyone exactly the same) are all "taken vibes".

i wouldn't know personally, I tend to follow my brain and logic and estimation even when it comes to females. I look at hooking up or establishing a connection with a girl like chess, gotta always think 3 steps ahead and prepare for each possible outcome/situation.

When it comes to girls I don't know, I always try to be friendly but not too friendly, that way it states I'm here and I'm an option for you. I never sound cocky so it won't scare her away, and I don't seem like I have no confidence so I don't get friend zoned. I do sometimes get a vibe from girls that they aren't interested in me or taken, but even if they are taken I just remain friends just in case something doesn't work out with them.

I feel vibes with people and yes I have felt this. The thing with taken vibes is a lot of people are in relationships and cheat or have cheated and are willing to cheat. If the person is not committed to their girlfriend/boyfriend these vibes are a lot harder to feel because the person isn't really "taken" per say.

So I voted B. because although I can feel them a lot and I believe in them I don't think a lot of people feel them so I don't think it would make someone who is taken unapproachable that's why I didn't choose A.

I definitely think there's such a thing as a "taken vibe." But I think it only happens with people who are happy in their relationship or who are very faithful by nature. Because in situations like those they aren't going to be flirting with other people or giving off any impression that they're not off the market. But people who are single. skeezy, or aren't happy in their relationship might act more like they're available around people.

I don't believe in "taken" vibes, but I do believe in "not looking for anything" vibes, whether the person is in a relationship or not. Some people aren't interested in pursuing anything romantic or sexual with others, even when they're single. So if I got a "taken" vibe from someone, I wouldn't assume they're actually in a relationship, just that they're not interested.

I can't say one way or the other about "vibes"., But I participated in a psychology experiment for a friend and got my mind blown.

Part of the experiment involved a group of subjects (one of which was me) going into social environments - clubs, malls, churches, etc. to record data on behavior towards married/single people.

In the same clubs, stores, etc. Where interest evidenced in the subjects by members of the opposite gender was nil to moderate without a wedding ring, the attention towards the guys from strange girls/women went waaaaay up! And way down towards girls/women wearing a wedding ring.

What the H*** is up with that!

It's all in non-verbal clues. Items someone is wearing, their body-language, responses to situations.

Anytime someone can "feel" something about a person it's that our subconscious is picking up on those signals, not some kind of sixth sense.

I can generally tell if a guy is taken. Not vibes, just general psychology. You can tell if a guy wants to be approached, if he doesn't he's either not interested or taken.

i certainly believe in that. if you're in a relationship (and actually are committed) then you sort of  unintentionally give off a vibe like you're taken.

I believe in those vibes..in fact, I think I give them off...lol but, this is good!

sweet_18 · Answer

I don't believe in it at all. I'm not taken but some people have told me that they thought I was taken. So no I don't believe in them at all.

It's often the other way 'round: if someone is 'taken' lots o' people discover 'that person must be interesting after all.' ;-)

I find the opposite- when I have a boyfriend that's when I seem to attract more attention!
