This is why all the desireable women are always either taken or bitchy.
And here we go.

I think this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard in my life! Many single woman would like to be in a relationship. I know when I was single I did not like being that way.

Wonder which one I am? Oh, I am taken. Because there can be only one option of the four, I take it.

Single, taken, desirable, or bitchy.

I have a hunch you're "taken" and have had a recent streak of male attention, prompting you to post this thread.
But don't worry: it's merely an aberration and not the norm.
You know, I guess half the time I don't know what I'm talking about either. What was I thinking?

Yes, I am taken. The streak isn't recent. It is the norm. Just seems to elevate when I am 'taken.'

I understand I have lost my mind and the goings on around me and in conversations I may or may not be having with people are merely aberrations and are not normal. Maybe I should seek help.

Nah. I think I'm doing just fine.

Well, for the men out there the key is to know that it is not an attention vs. no attention situation; it's a matter of degrees. Do not be overbearing in the attention (like a boss), needy in the attention (like a puppy), or simply weird/perverted/gross in the attention (like a weirdo).

[of course, one's tolerance for such attention will vary]

hmmmm...... I think if they know you are with someone, friendly should be the extent of the type of attention. Not something like... I wanna feed you ice cream etc etc

Why is it that when a woman is taken, in a relationship, all that good stuff it feels like men just want you more, or approach you more?

What is up w that?
Maybe you're glowing now. You can glow all by yourself too. FYI.

Exactly. Any further and it becomes rude attention.

[in other words, he's being disrespectful]
