Why does a married man fix his hair and straighten his shirt when he sees a girl?

[Anonymous]

I mean he is already taken then why he does that.

You know, contrary to popular belief us married men still react (gasp) in the same way as single men when there's a pretty girl around. We want to look good. We still want to compete with the peers. Whos more popular or cooler? Its human nature. Who doesn't?

From my experience, 9 times out of 10 the women are more drawn to the married man. Now that, is a whole 'nother subject altogether.

Could just be subconscious response to seeing an attractive woman to automatically make sure you look your best..

Is this happening to you? is it the same person doing it?

[Asker]

Married to someone else but did this infront of me.

[David4358]

was it just a one time thing or does he keep doing it?

[D_Bone_Steak]

It's just the salesman's tactic to make a great first impression. I just do everything in the morning just to go into public... but other guys are more lazy than that for sure. It's like why bother until they start to feel they should look presentable?

This could go for a girlfriend's/wife's friend as well... who will be talking in her ear about you later... her? Trust me... when your girls friend doesn't like you... she will talk shit about you and try to split you up. The woman's friends are one of the biggest dangers to any relationship. Most cheating by females is caused because of her friends. That's my life experience 101.

Same reason women wear make-up and get all dressed up even though they're already married. They want to look good.

[Asker]

They are not doing around a particular man

[Uzi777]

Yes, we do it for all the men. Plus he never said particular man and even so, some of us do.

[RavVid]

Maybe for the same reason women adjust their tops? I'm a scruff now so I don't. But yeah I did automatically do that a while back. I think a good looking girl prompts a look good response like straightening/tightening your tie. Before I transitioned to a scruff I was quite particular wrt the knot.

It is not as if we think a girl will want our babies if we have a straight tie.

[Asker]

So men do this around a good looking girl?

[RavVid]

I did, can't speak for all.

[Jamie05rhs]

Because he's trying to represent and look good for his woman. It's an image thing. He just wants to make the team proud.

[TotallyAlmost]

Just because he's married doesn't mean he dead. He wants to see if he's "still got it."

[Buttajah]

I would like to believe it isn't for any person, just proper grooming and
awareness. Same as a woman checking
herself in the women's room.

[DermalPunch]

Woman I'd an attractive female. What good do you hope to gain by earning a married man's affection?

[Daniela1982]

Because that is what guys did in the old movies, liker Cary Grant.

[Aairs]

Not to look sloppy.
Why do married females (women) ever wear sexy clothes? When they could just wear sexy underwear for their husband's eyes only in her bedroom.

[DellBell]

he still likes to look good

[Asker]

For that girl?

[DellBell]

maybe even if he's married he can still find other women attractive looking or have a crush on someone its normal but once he doesn't do anything about it

[Asker]

Such men are stupid.

[Uzi777]

That's like saying we are stupid for wearing makeup when we are married already... be more honest with yourself... women do it all the time...

[DellBell]

agree, we do just the way it is :)

It’s a habit. Depending on the guy, it’s not necessarily that he wants to impress a random girl so that he can cheat on his wife. It’s most likely that he doesn’t want to be ridiculed for looking frumpy in front of another girl.

[Usernamestinks]

Nothing wrong with looking presentable. And you should take it as a compliment

[spartan55]

He does this every single time he sees 'a girl'?

[Asker]

Yes.

[spartan55]

I doubt that.

[Minahh]

There's a possibility he finds her attractive

[shades777]

to see if he still got it
