Girls, does it make you feel special when you manage to get a guy who's desired by lots of other women?

You know those guys who seem quite popular with women and girls just fawn over him. And yet you manage to be the one to get him. Does this have any bearing on how you feel about him? That you managed to get a guy desired by a lot of women?

here's a study that basically confirms this:

Study: Women find men who are desired by other women to be more desirable

The study of 245 female college students suggests that women use the presence of a romantic partner to infer that a man possesses unobservable, positive traits.

The female participants found men more desirable when they were shown with an attractive partner compared to when the men were shown alone. Men shown with an attractive partner tended to be viewed as more intelligent, trustworthy, humorous, wealthy, romantic, goal driven, adventurous, generous, and attentive to the needs of others.

Yes It makes me feel special

Makes me feel like i got someone truly special

Him being highly desired By other women has no effect on how i feel about him

No, I’m always suspicious of it lol

In the traditional sense, and especially when I was a kid, it did make me feel good. Now, I weigh things for myself.

At one internship, I had a male friend who had nothing but female friends who “needed his support.” Like a therapist. He used that for well, but also to help himself right past the ‘touch barrier,’ and having access to a bunch of girls.. who saw him as a friend and saw him as likable.

I saw it all from the start, and as soon as I saw the fact he had a bunch of female friends, I was completely turned off, but lingered for just the amusement, to watch how he operated with this tactic of his.

He and I were the only ones who didn’t have these “therapy sessions.” I treated him like my kid brother. Obviously he was also the kid brother who didn’t want to be told certain things all the time, but still wanted his older sis to help his character more believable/ credible/ but mostly cool.

I made him look cool while at that place lol gave him some comedic and wild inspiration by challenging his ego. 👀👌😂

so anyways, due to those two facts he wanted me “there,” but to let him do all the smooth talking to my sisters lol or give him that inspiration.

Doesn’t make me feel special. Makes me wonder if I was too easy. I do feel a certain way after I gather some info by him. Couldn’t vote on this one.

"Women find men who are desired by other women to be more desirable." - I've heard about this before and I never understood why.

As for me, well I've never been with a man who was desired a lot by other women. I don't think it would a make a difference on how I would feel about him.

Not really, maybe low key a little but like no... I don't know maybe I'm already used to it

[CubsterShura]

Not really. I realized that it means nothing.
