Someone may have already said it, but often when a guy is taken, it's almost as if there is a huge APPROVED stamped on his forehead. If other women find him desirable, then there must be something about him worthy to be desired. Makes sense? It's sort of like a verification thing. In addition, some women may simply like the challenge. Is my feminine prowess powerful enough to lure a man away from another girl?

I agree. I also believe that for certain women there may be an element of safety that these men are unavailable for a serious emotional commitment because they do not want one themselves or because they can't, IOW they are married.
It's about competition. I talked to a girl recently who said it's "safer" and better because they aren't desperate and talk less since they already have a relationship, it's mutual that they both just want sex.
I don't belive her at all. I think she feels better than the other (original) woman. But she did admit she likes the challenge of winning them over. She said she took a long time to seduce them and she liked it because it wasn't easy. I think she thinks she's sexy and an alpha female but I think it's pathetic. *shrug*

Women who describe themselves as "alpha females" tend to be skanks.
"Fifty-nine per cent of women offered a single man were interested in pursuing a relationship. When the man was attached, 90 per cent said they were up for the chase."
"Burkley and Parker speculate that single women may be more drawn to attached men because they've been "pre-screened" by other women and found to be satisfactory as a mate"
This is old news on this site. It hasn't always been well received!
I've certainly seen a lot of "the best ones are taken" behavior over the years. Men only seen to fall into these sort of situations when the woman is dissatisfied with her marriage. This contrasts with married men who, if they are quite desirable, never really lose the desire for "variety" they developed during their ribald single days and will accept any "reasonable" offer.
I'm a guy, but let me take a crack at this--they see the guy as a "success" in terms of having a relationship. Whereas a guy who's single, and not seeing anyone, they start to wonder what's wrong with him.
Some women and men like the idea of "winning" or being able to take something from another person. It makes them feel better about themselves. But the "prize" usually isn't worth it.

Same with looking for a job when you have one vs. being unemployed.
