What does it mean when people say I carry myself like a married woman?

And I'm not. But some guys think I'm taken which is why my ex at the time was afraid to approach me

To me this indicates you are not open with your body language and perhaps don’t flirt much. If that is true, it implies to interested men that you are taken and makes some of them wary of approaching you. And if you wear a ring on your left ring finger that straight up implies you are married (added that just in case you, for whatever reason, we’re oblivious to that).


If none of this is true, I’d have to have more specifics to give any sorta help.

I think you're right about me not being flirty I don't know how to flirt

Look up flirtation techniques women use to get the best understanding.

I can give some basic tips, things that I’ve seen psychologists and relationship experts have said. According to these people, women are much better on picking up flirtatious signals then men. In fact it’s stated that men tend to be so dense that they will only pick up on about a third of signals sent. So first you are gonna have to make an effort to show more interest than you typically do because a lot of guys won’t take the hint the first two times.

Eye contact is a key way women flirt and “invite” men to approach them. Typically a woman meets eyes with a man and holds the gaze for just a second or two longer than you normally do before looking away. That delay before averting your eyes indicates attraction. I’ve read that because of what I stated above a woman needs to do this at least three times with a guy she is interested in before he starts to catch on.

Open body language is also important. Having your hands visible is a big thing as showing them is linked to availability (and I am not sure on the exact reasons why). Displaying your wrists is a sign of submission and women often do this when trying to attract men. This means placing your hand on a table, etc. with your wrists in view. This is also why women in movies or shows are often shown doing that weird two finger smoking thing where there wrists are facing away from the body.

Displaying your neck is also a sign of attraction as it is an area that is supposed to release pheromones. Women will often fuss with their hair and move it away from the throat area so it’s more visible when flirting. This is also why some women kinda tilt their head if interested in a guy.

Other things that typically indicate attraction from women is exaggerated hip sway as they walk (men cannot do this as their frames and hips don’t allow such mobility; therefore it’s a clear display of femininity). Lip licking and hair twirling are also signs.

I have been told I have a "wifey" vibe.

I think when people say you seem married, they mean you have your shit put together and have your relationships prioritized. I was told I seem wifey or momish because I try to care for people and I'm very kind.

How is that not clear?

I don't know what that means. How does a married person carry themselves
