Someone's post about "confused signals" reminded me of this study. I forgot about it until I read her thread.

I think this is why men get so frustrated with women. Women complain about the guys that treat them badly....but they seem to gravitate to men for exactly that reason.

STILLWATER, OK – Psychology studies have shown that some women may try to lure a man away from his current partner, a phenomenon known as mate poaching. But a new study shows that most single women actually prefer men who are already in a committed relationship.

I've read it before, too.

That is one thing I just can't do. If I find a man interesting and attractive and find out that he's in a relationship or married, it's game over. However, I will say that I know several women who don't draw this line. They figure if he's looking, he's not happy, so he's fair game. Pretty sad, really.

I prefer not to share my toys and don't want anyone's either.

I've worn my old wedding ring out to a bar a few times for laughs with my buddies and to prove this point with a female friend who goes out with us. It's amazing how fast and frequently I get approached by women in the bars. And yes, some of them were married.

I'm changing my profile status to "in a relationship" as we speak!!

Actually, I think this might be one of those "which came first? the chicken or the egg" dilemmas.

It's been pretty common knowledge for years that men already in a relationship are attractive to women - my friends and I used to joke about it, "women are nowhere to be found when you are single, but get into a relationship (or married) and they are coming out of the woodwork".

The thing here, though, is it because women are actually attracted to men in relationships because they are in relationships ...or is it because men in relationships are more confident talking to women (in their mind, they have nothing to lose, no fear of rejection) and, therefore, more attractive?

There has been a study that showed women are like this also ...if they are in a relationship, they are more flirty and bold.

I'd say that's a better answer than the study posted.

Not sure what the expression is, "flies attract something or is that something attracts flies?"..........just kiddin ya!........
But who in their right mind would want to date someone who is already in a relationship?? (oops. disclaimer again, I am not saying everyone is crazy here, just my opinion!) Oh Yuck........me ain't playing second fiddle to noone!!..........and no else should either!! ( again, just my opinion!!)

I wouldn't do this to anyone else and I wouldn't feel secure in a relationship with a guy that was in a relationship when we got together. What goes around comes around!

LOL! I'm not generous in that way either. Totally selfish in that regard.

I'm not quite sure why some women are into this. This just increases the drama and possibility of violence in your life. Why risk it? Who needs that? I watch tv and movies for all my drama and violence, don't want it showing up at my house in the middle of the night, calling me out of my name...
