Do married men become attracted to other women?

Question

Do you find yourself crushing on another woman whilst married? How common is it?

MrOracle · Accepted Answer

When in a serious relationship, I certainly find other women attractive - I just choose not to take any action in pursuit of that attraction, because I've committed to the woman I'm with. My eyes still work, as does my brain, and I know what an attractive woman is - and it's not like they disappear when you get into a relationship. But you simply don't allow yourself even the OPTION of pursuing those women, and you avoid being in situations where you are likely to be tempted.

Yes, sometimes this means you have to give up something you'd prefer to do - but those are the sacrifices that we make to maintain our relationships.

Being in love with one person does not prevent you from being attracted to others. If you havr that experience -- loss of attraction to anyone else -- what you are experiencing is limerance.

While its not incompatible with coming to trully love someone limerance is not love, it activates an entirely different set of neurotransmitters and makes one highly prone to flights-of-fancy. Combined with certsin drugs or latent disposition brief bouts of full blown psychosis are not uncommon and almost never reported. We only know bc people who are already in therapy unwittingly reveal the break to there therapists.

Human beings are always attracted to other human beings. Doesn't matter about your marital situation. Doesn't have to be marital. Could be partnered, dating, friends.

Unless you're DEAD, you're attracted to others. It's how families, friends, lovers, communities exist. We are social beings. It's part of being that way.

There is ACTING on attraction in a negative way. That's what you don't do.

People can still admire or crush on someone regardless their status.. it’s a human thing. As long as they don’t act on it, it’s fine.

Yes it happens , especially if he is unhappily married and his wants and needs aren’t being met where his wife treats him like shit and with holds intimacy and affection from him , When he feels unvalued or unwanted by his wife , he is more than likely Going to be drawn to another girl that he finds attractive and giving him the attention that he isn’t getting at home , Most girls’ don’t realize how important intimacy and affection is to a man , when he feels like he has to beg his wife or he feels like he has to earn it from her he will start to be open to meeting someone else , Married women do this as well if her Husband treats her like shit and doesn’t make her a priority and she feels he doesn’t appreciate her , she will be drawn to a guy that gives her attention

Lionman95 · Answer

I would say yes. Married guys are still men. That means they still get the same turn-ons when they see an attractive women as a single guy. I´ve met women in the past that were pretty open that they prefer a friends with benefits or an ONS with a married or taken guy rather than with a single guy.
So the level of attraction a woman has stays the same it just gets more complicated than being a single guy.

richardcory · Answer

Yes - but I'm also fully aware its not real. Its easy to for life with your spouse to feel like its work and chores - because a lot of life is. Then you meet someone else and they seem happy and free - but of course you are only seeing them a tiny bit of the time.

Of course you don't go blind. Most people are going to lie and say never so take it with a grain of salt. If they lie about this what else are they lying about? Just because most are attracted to symmetry it also good to know that symmetry, attraction, or even lust does not equal love. It's also important to know your self well enough not to put yourself in situations where you can't over come that lust with logic and realization of the damage you would cause if you slip.

Rizwan_khan · Answer

Being married doesn't mean that someone is not attracted to anyone attraction is natural and that's why people are having extra marital affair but we can control it or you can say we should loyal to each other after married. But many men or women go to affair because something which they are missing or not get it from their partner is get from some other person so they will go to that person. And most of times male and females are having affair at some point after married it is very common.

Married men can still be attracted to other women for the same reason a married woman can still get attracted to other men. It's not the thought that matter but it's avting on it. If you have a favorite food, that doesn't mean you're not going to enjoy the other food.

AmeerX · Answer

Actually, sharing some of my friends experience. When they became married a lot of girls started to hit on them. This was so bizarre that I think it is reallyaabout not just teasing a married man but the fact the girls think they can actually steal a man or be with someone married as he had something that they don't

Red_Arrow · Answer

I have found other women attractive, but that has never made me want to step outside my relationship in any way!

NostalgiaSenpi · Answer

Everyone becomes attracted to other people. It's their actions that speak far more than simple likes or dislikes. If someone is that close to someone to develop that kind of feeling, they need to get their priorities straight.

clampfan101 · Answer

It’s certainly possible, but that doesn’t mean they love their wife any less. I think it’s ok to have crushes so long as you don’t persue them.
