Why are married men so attractive to certain women?

That's a sort of weird question.

I'm a married woman and I'm not attractive to certain men. I'm (reasonably) sure I'm attractive but I've never been approached inappropriately by any (strange or even workmate/friend) man. I've always put up very prickly boundaries which men seem to be able to read from a mile away.

My A was with my old HS b/f.

I feel that in certain cases it's someone who is looking for something that's missing inside themselves, and see it in another person. That's an attractive thing for most. The bond is sealed when one of them steps over the line.

Then again, it could be just about sex.

Come on, CS,,,you know the answer.

If there's no flies around the pot, the honey's probably sour!!! Grandma taught us all that one, right? Some folks think if he's not married, then there's something wrong with him.

Although, I don't see the logic of thinking there's nothing wrong with a married man willing to cheat with you.

I think some are afraid to try a regular committed relationship. With a married person, they have a built in excuse for why it didn't work out.

Some just want things to be strings-free.

And a few go on a power trip over trying to "steal" someone else's mate.

I fail to see how this addresses the question or is even part of this topic...

What is he? a naughty school boy who's answer is not to your liking? Do you have any idea how arrogant you sound?

I only sound "arrogant" to you because that is how you already view me.

And, what makes it worse is that you know I do not care...

Nope, this is the first thread of yours that I've read and you sounded arrogant to me.

I AM arrogant.

But then we all have shortcomings don't we?





So, what's your take on the topic?

CS--
Sometimes you make very keen observations. Other times, ,,,,well,,,

seems like you want to piss people off.

Maybe that's your style, or maybe it depends on your mood that hour. (Heck, I'll share my bi-polar meds with you...oops, I don't have any...contrary to what WH thinks)

Ah, but we digress.

It was a good question. Folks are TRYING to give you their best answer. Maybe it's not the one you wanted to hear, or maybe you want to beat some folks into a hive-collective-group-think-hatefest to prove a point.

I hope that's not the case. I think we all have a lot to learn from each other, but that was probably the last nice thing I can say tonight.

BTW, what is your answer to the posed question?

If you have me on ignore, how did you even SEE THIS THREAD?LOL!

You are a hot mess!

What's your take on the topic-Why do some folks gravitate towards people who are married? ( [color:"blue"] If it helps you to pretend that someone you like has asked this question, please do so [/color] .)

Very interesting...I think I agree with this-let's see if anyone else agrees as well...
