I say this thread with huge numbers of hits and replies and a brand new BS with nothing. It makes me sick seeing ******* get attention at the expense of those who really need it. And all for her infotainment.

Why are married men so attractive to certain women?



Ok... what exactly are you asking here?

Are you meaning the percentage of women who are only attracted to married men?

Are you meaning the woman who are attracted to married men because they are married to them?

Do you mean the married men who are attractive are that way to certain women... meaning they would be attractive regardless of whether they are married or not? Do these certain women know the man is married? Are you suggesting predators that they ONLY go after married men?

Do you have a particular "certain women" in mind?

Can this also include married women who are attractive to certain women?

What about the married man... do they make themselves up to be attractive to certain women or are they just attractive regardless of what they do?

When you say women, plural... do you mean they are attracted as a group towards the attractive married man? or singularly they become attracted?

In what way are they attractive... visually, financially, can't touch meally?

If a married man was alone in the woods, would the certain woman still be attracted to him? Would she hear him if he fell?

I'm married... would I, should I, could I be one of those that are attractive to certain women?

As you can tell... I'm bored tonight. (and I don't have a hairdryer on my head <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />)

bigkahuna, I am not certain why you would bother to respond in a thread that you consider to be a waste of time or why the moderators are going through my responses and deleting all of them.

Good choice on the edit, CS.

I wanted to add my belief that married people are a symbol...to an OP they appear to be able to commitment, support, provide, meet ENs...an OP wants that for themselves. They are responsible, loving and reliable. Very attractive. The shortcut to fixing their own lives...plug and play.

I believe this fantasy mindset is what makes an A no big deal...makes it look like it isn't attempting to take what isn't theirs, rather, get what they need at any cost.

Shortcuts kill off so much.

I believe this is attractive to both male OPs and female OPs...the belief underneath might be...finding the right person...same for MOP...just married the wrong person...

When all the time, it is being the wrong partner...feeling broken and in need of being fixed...fixing from the outside.

BK,

I learn where I learn...My helping goes in two directions...this was for me. Please do not judge others as taking time away from others when what they may be doing is helping themselves, too.

Wow LA, that is deep and I get it. Don't know if anyone said it, but my IC says that it is the "forbidden fruit." It looks good if you can't have it, but what happens when it is freely given? It is not appreciated.

And judging by your sig. There is hope for all.

(I am a walking metaphor.)

Thanks, Thorstein...my sigline is why I post.

And I believe you have a valid point with the forbidden fruit...and want to take it one step more...

What does that phrase remind you of? "It looks good if you can't have it!" From our childhood, perhaps?

To become wayward...single or married...we have to enter an entitlement state of mind...the door, I believe, into it is through our wounded inner child...lots of words like deserving, owed, in my debt...all from kidhood...and gee, that fruit looks better than what I have...that fantasy...different is better...when in reality, we take all that is ourselves with us...recreate the same situation, again and again...

Some of us (ME!!!) learned very slowly...again, and again, and again...until I got it. People are not replaceable. I am the constant. I have power and limits...so does everyone else.

Ahhhh. Big sigh.

Entitlement blocks appreciation, admiration and acceptance. Essentials, don't you think? Entitlement, fueled by resentment and lack of respect...there's the formula for the wayward state of mind. The shortcut mentality...from allowing our inner child to run our adult lives...and what do we really get? A WS who is not any of those things we thought because they live in fantasy, too...and are as addicted to it as we are.

Forbidden fruit...fantasy shortcut.

I knew I could work it back in.

Sorry Stonecold, I am not a joiner or a bandwagoneer.

If you are relying on my participation in a cyber bashing, you'll most definitely end up doing your dirt on the individual tip.
