Do women find men who already have a girlfriend more attractive? Do men find taken women more attractive?

Question

Do women find men who already have a girlfriend more attractive? Do men find taken women more attractive?

Answer 1

I don't think so. I think as humans, we kind of subconsciously put the vibe out there that we're available or not, and that vibe is what people find attractive. Of course, if you're REALLY into the chase, you might find someone who is taken more attractive.

Answer 2

no. I prefer the single men, not the ones that are takin.

Answer 3

I've noticed that too over the years. Some women will flirt with a man known to already be in a relationship. I don't know why - other than this is a situation where the woman can test her attraction abilities in a real world setting. Yet, can do so with a relatively safe subject, for the test. I think this is mostly a subconscious act. She can parade herself to evaluate her attraction to a man, while his responses are verbal only, due to the constraints of his current obligation. Good question.

Answer 4

Some do, it's part of human nature beginning with Adam and Eve...They could not resist the "Forbidden Fruit"... I think a big part of it is the challenge...I've known women for instance who would do anything and everything to take a guy from his girlfriend or wife only to dump him once she succeeded...

Answer 5

I don't.  That's always seemed illogical to me, but it also seems true.  I have known a lot of people who have developed an attraction to another person based on the treatment that person recieves by their significant other.

Answer 6

That's a tough question. As a woman, i would have to say that i'm looking for more of the loser type of guy... only because i know that i'm safer with him, he'd probably be more loyal ... and pay more attention to me. But he would have to be more sexually experienced than me. And i don't even bother getting close to men who are taken, because if they start flirting with me  it just shows me how much of an a*****e he is.

Answer 7

Many men play games; they want a challenge. This makes women an object.  Its sort of an alpha male thing. the dark side of humans.

Answer 8

I think so. It is the thought that you can not have them like the forbidden fruit and it tempts you. I think women are attractive more to men then men are to women that are already taken. We as women tend to lay no borders down for other women as men will give props to the other guy if you turned his girl away from him as he sees she was not into him in the first place.
