Why do taken men flirt with other women?

[Priv9696]

I’m single and I seem to come across a lot of guys with girlfriends or wives chatting me up

ill send them a sexy pic of me and they don’t say “wait I’ve got a wife. Don’t send me”

Since I get rejected by guys a lot and rarely get complimented.. I crave the attention I get from guys (even taken guys)

I would never sleep with a taken guy though. But it’s just flirting via text it can be an ego boost for my low self esteem

but just curious why a man would sext/flirt with a girl when he has a wife and kids at home?
why stay with the girlfriend/wife if you’re unhappy?

Also would you consider sexting cheating? Or is cheating only a physical thing?

It varies, flirting can be harmless and as you say can help build self esteem. Some do it as it come natural. I wish I could flirt better but I enjoy what little I have and get. As for photos that does surprise me as your photos are always awesome. Like your profile photo is now.

Why do women flirt most with taken men? I've been married for four years and when I wear my ring I get WAYYYYYY more attention form women. Why is that?

It’s a challenge

According to the research, men flirt for many reasons: to get sex, to explore what it would be like to be in a relationship, to strengthen a relationship, to try to get something, to increase self-esteem, and, well, to have fun.

We are NOT monogamous creatures! We are Polyamorous by "DEFAULT".

Most are incapable of going against their "Nature", especially men. That's why the divorce rate and infidelity rates are over 50%. Read the book "SEX AT DAWN" by Cacilda Jetha and Christopher Ryan. Everything will make sense to you after you read that book!

If a hunter is not going to hunt.. That doesn't means that he will not sharpen his tools every once in a while...

Like you said
" Since I get rejected by guys a lot and rarely get complimented.. I crave the attention I get from guys"

Men in relationship get emasculated by women so much that... They flirt to make sure that still got it...

"They flirt to check if they still have masculinity."

Not all taken men flirt around with other girls , the thing is they can't leave their wife or girlfriend they think gotta have somebody whom they can settle in life, but yea flirsting or sexting with other girl being committed is cheating according to me

No idea, I don't have kids, but have never messaged other girls when I was on a long-term relationship.

[SilverRain92]

Because they getting bored with their girlfriends/wives. But honestly some taken girls do it too. So your question should sound "why do taken people flirt with others?".
Believe me there are a lot of single guys who would like to flirt with you. So please don't spend your time on taken guys. You tell that you get rejected by guys and that guys stop messaging you, but I am sure that a lot of guys would pm you if you change your settings (though I am not sure whether you want it).

Cheating is betraying the expectations of your significant other, those expectations are different in every relationship and before you sext someone, you should make sure you won't violate those expectations by doing so.

(More relevant to the dudes you are sexting)

That's like a joke. Fact is women try to get along with married men and men in relationships I always see how women react when I walk alone and when I walk with my girlfriend hence they want to fight her and get along with me ! . I see this with every man walk with his women out there. Facts women like men who have options and sleeping around and not catching feelings

[chriscdi]

Some guys just can't be happy with one girl and it's sad, either ways tho, I don't see the point of wanting someone's attention if that attention can't go to the full extend, pretty pointless don't you think.

That is also cheating. I think guys in general are jerks. Which is a great reason why girls are being very careful when choosing to be with someone. It’s awful how frequently it happens.

[I_am_a_smart_human]

Coz those men are cheaters. Yes even sexting is considered cheating for married men. Maybe they couldn’t hold back since they find you very hot.

Looking at your pic, you got a sexy body!! 😉

[Priv9696]

[Bklynbadboy12]

You get rejected are they blind you fuckin gorgeous!😍

[Ironic_Method]

Because we like to flirt.

Though my wife is fully encouraging of anything that becomes of it.

[Avgbrisbaneguy]

Some men need more than 1 girl, would love to chat more with you if possible

[EstevanMadrid898]

Am not sure, but you are cute 😊

[Anonymous]

You look sexy.

[Priv9696]

If I was so sexy I would be taken. No one wants me long term 😞

Personality attracts long term. Sexiness attracts short term.
