I always fall for women who are married or who have boyfriends. I don't know why this keep happening, but it does. It seems like all of best women are taken now days, and it feels like i don't have much to pick from. I'm not the type to settle for less. I will never show signs of desperation when it comes to dating. I was even thinking about moving to a larger city to have better chances with women. I live in a small town where most women are taken. what should i do?

Small towns generally do have less single women. Most jobs that pay a decent amount of money for women are in larger towns and cities. You really should move or drive further afield for dates.

Of course I'm attracted to the attractive ones, but of course I don't act on it (it would be contrary to my ethics), even if they hit on me.

I don't think it's that unusual, for a couple of reasons.

Number one, if a woman is in a relationship it gives the single guy an opportunity to see what kind of a girlfriend/wife/mother she is. If the guy is looking for a relationship and the woman is great in those roles it would tend to enhance the appeal.

Secondly, a woman in a relationship is more likely to be herself which is often more attractive than the veneer that a single lady often puts on when trying to find a mate.

When I was single I often found myself attracted to taken ladies for both of these reasons. As someone else stated, I never acted on it because it would just have been wrong.

But if she is taken, and hooks up with you anyway, and then the two of you fall in love and form a new relationship....wouldnt you think that you would be in a exact same spot her ex was, when you first met her? Why would anyone want to be with a proven cheater?

People who chase after people who are with people deep down aren't ready for anyone. Otherwise, they would find single people attractive. You are going after "unavailable" people. Which means that you are "not available", or atleast ready yourself..

Chances are that once one of those people become available, you then would not want them..

"The hooked and booked man is like a forbidden temptation. That’s what makes him irresistibly attractive to a woman."

Nah, I don't think so. Taken men for me is like used cars, second hand cars. They are just other women's men.

I don't steal, I am not a thief. I don't find married or taken men attractive.

I am a girl, hopefully I am still allowed to reply =)

That's just it, I wouldn't hook up with her. And she would be much less attractive if she tried, especially if the reason I found myself attracted to her was that she seemed like a great SO to the person she was with.

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I think it's possible to find someone of the opposite sex attractive without wanting to be with that person. I find Diane Lane incredibly attractive, but I certainly haven't tried to call her. I guess she is single now, though.......

Of course, you can find anyone attractive. But the topic of the thread talks about being attracted to taken women, as if the fact that they're taken is the attractant itself. For me it never has been and Ive had many super attractive taken women, GFs and wives of my friends approach me wanting sex, and I have always refused. But they were attractive to me because of their physical beauty, not because they were taken.
