Why would single women act insecure and reserved around me, but married and taken women tend to be much bolder, relaxed and sexually forward?

When they're single, sometimes they act insecure and aloof around me, and have a lot of self doubt. When they're married/engaged/living with a guy... they will be much more relaxed and sexually forward. Women that don't hide that they want to be involved or hook up with me tend to me involved with a guy already, which is pretty frustrating.

Some people assume I'm some jacked, uber high testosterone badboy (the type of guy women might want to cheat with, but not stay with), but that really isn't the case. Why would single women act insecure and reserved around me, but married and taken women tend to be much bolder, relaxed and sexually forward?

As a single woman, I do tend to act more insecure around guys, especially those I like. That's because I really want to impress the guy but at the same time I'm afraid of embarrassing myself. And since I'm not in a relationship, I don't really know how to act around guys to make them like me. I may even feel like the guy is way over my league and that he won't ever consider looking at someone like me, much less dating me.

But I do have a married friend who acts more relaxed and confident around guys. And she says she only acts like that BECAUSE she's married. She's comfortable getting close to guys because she don't have to be afraid of labels and teasing from friends because they know she's married. At the same time, since she's living with a guy, she's more used to guys and getting close to them. Though she doesn't try to hook up with other guys. She knows there's a guy waiting for her back home, so even if she gets rejected by a guy she wants to get close to, she knows she has her man.

Showcase your personality more. As my friends used to say to me (i go to gym to stay fit, sexy and healthy), becoz fit, sexy or jacked people are commonly sense as too good to be true.. Majority of married or with other guy have a desire to be wanted and confirmation that their still attractive not just within their relationship. Sort of giving them confidence especially to those body like yours.
