So after reading a few articles like this one apparently women find taken men more attractive because "When a man is chosen as potential partner by someone, it tends to mean he is “higher quality” than all the other dudes who are single. Clearly, he has some endearing qualities that appealed to his girlfriend, which makes other women around take notice and want to be with him as well."

This article quotes from a study: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-19770-8 which finds that men who have girlfriends receive something called an “attractiveness boost” and are suddenly perceived as hotter than they’d normally be.

“Women in our study found men’s faces more attractive if other women had given that face high ratings. But the same goes for pictures of abstract artworks... Women appear to copy the mate preferences of other women, but this might simply be because humans have a general tendency to be influenced by the opinions of others.”

So in any case, girls have you found taken men more attractive than single men? And guys have you noticed women noticing you more when you are taken?

I gotta say that in my last relationship i definitely noticed women being friendlier with me. i don't know if thats attraction or maybe im 'safer' to talk to now? i dunno man lol. human behavior is interesting and confusing at the same time.

Keep in mind im just talking about attraction. im not talking about if you'd actually do anything about the attraction such as cheating or something. JUST attraction.

What do you think of this statement?

As you mature in a relationship, you learn to spend more Quality Time together, and more Quantity Time on your own.

Basically, women who are beautiful and have the world at their finger tips, with unlimited dating options, ending up single and childless due to not lowering their standard and/or being more practical to holding out for some perfect, guy that will never come.

EXAMPLE

Kelly Hu was 34 years old in 2002 when the scorpion king dropped

She could easily have gotten a very decent man for a husband and possibly have kids. Now she is 55 years old, single and childless.

Sure, she can still find a guy now to commit to her, but I guarantee you that it's not a man she would have wanted in her physical prime and most likely is not her best option aka. she would have to settle. And with kids out the picture, not a lot of high, quality guys will take her seriously for long, term relationship.

And we see examples like this all the time, even with average and below average women. Whereby, they hold out for some perfect guy, turning down decent male partners, or raise their standards so high that the only guys who qualify are men who don't want them.
