Would you consider a man who has a mate more or less (or neither more nor less) attractive than that same man, were he single?

If so, why?
I don't know. You'd have to ask Angelina Jollie. She's a pro at this.

This seems to be a normal phenomenon w/ the opposite sexes. When you're with someone and you radiate contentment and happiness, it seems to be a pull for the opposite sex. They're attracted to the fact that someone else finds you attractive enough to want to be with you. Plus this anomaly of wanting something you can't have.

Logically or biologically? Logically, no. Biologically, I think we're programmed to compete to spread our genes and look for the best possible partner to pair up with and that means eliminating the competition. Fortunately, I think logic wins.

The same person is responsible for most of the old threads popping up. New topics are getting lost in the crowd of the oldies but not goodies.

The ol wear a wedding ring trick...

A. you're in a bar, venue, alone and flirting. So obviously even though you're married, you're approachable.

B. You're safe, it'll be most likely a one nighter, no hassle, no strings.

C. in case of women who try to "steal one" they see you're stable, theirs wasn't and they want what she has. Why is this so common? Because woman are a catty backstabbing lot, mostly. Of course, none the goddesses who post on here!
