I have heard others say that but I'm not sure why. A man has never been more attractive to me because he was taken.

You only want what you can't have

Basically because they weren’t brave enough to shoot their shot when they could’ve also being told something is “forbidden” / “off limits” makes you want it more…. Sadly a lot of people do this regardless of what the reason might be, I’ve seen a lot of men do this to women and not taking no as an answer even after the “I have a boyfriend, sorry”. I’ve seen plenty of women do this too, it is really stupid in my opinion.

I'm reading the answers by some of the guys in here about changing your appearance like grooming or they don't give off needy vibes. First of all, there are plenty of guys who are in shape and have good grooming habits (ex: getting a haircut once every few wks, exercise, take showers, use the right cologne, cutting your nails, trimming or shaving facial hair-whatever works), the needy vibes it depends if he's trying to pursue someone because he's serious and knows what he wants and its not just about sex thats not being needy he just values his time and uses his experience not to have a dumb chick waste his time. A woman who finds it more appealing to go after guys who are married are dumb and immature in my opinion. Those types of women and girls are home wreckers because they want a quick fling, they love the the thrill of drama but her mindset is that he is left miserable, heart broken by her and the wife leaves him and his life is f'd over and any woman or girl who is like this is truly satanic... reminds me of a girl named Arooj Jafri, what a despicable POS of a person.

i dont know. I got hit on three or four times right after I got married. One girl was really hot. She worked at the local gas station. I used to get gas there and would sort of flirt with her. I used to pay with a company credit card. One day somebody calls me at work. It was this girl. She tracked me down with the credit card receipt. She invited me to aa party that she and her roommates were giving. I had to turn her down. I found another gas station to go to after that.

Because many times women based selections in dating men off of other women. Of other women gravitate towards him, then she's gonna be more comfortable with him as opposed to a guy that women don't gravitate to. So if one is taken, they're thinking, "okay he's worthy of being in a relationship, he's not a creep, he's not a criminal more than likely, " Doesn't mean the second guy is a bad option though, or that the first guy is a good option.

Because your taken she wants what you can't have, you must have something someone wants thus your worth having.

It's like that toy everyone had as a kid, because everyone else had it then it must be really fun so you must have it. People view other people in the same way.

Quigly · Answer

Many women would rather be with a Married guy with money rather than a single guy working a regular job just to get by, it's called greed. Marriage has never been about love or physical appearance. Why the institution of Marriage has lost so much Respect around the world.

Easy. Those men suddenly change a few things in their routine like grooming themselves, applying perfume, showering more often and being overall more presentable.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out, that girls do that too.

Because it means he's desirable enough to have successfully gotten through at least one woman's vetting.

Cause if you're taken, that means at least "one" women thinks you're worth being with. So that's sort of a guarantee of your quality that women don't get with single men.

Crazzyyworld · Answer

Because when a man is taken she wants to take it. It’s like when a pie is cooked she wants to eat it but she hates the process of cooking. She just want to eat the pie someone already made.
