Do you believe that people are more 'likable' as soon as they enter a relationship? As a girl, I find a man more attractive if he's already got a girlfriend...

Maybe it's a sign that they are datable or something, that others want them too.

Guys, are girls hotter when they date others? Vs. a girl whpo has been single for years?

I think, for some women, they sense confidence in a guy who's taken.  For some guys, it's really just a conquest thing.  From experience, when I see a cute girl with another guy I wonder, "How long would it take me to make her mine?"

Most people are too insecure to trust in their own instincts so they need peer approval. I think you could argue that people only want attractive mates just to feel superior to others.

i am actually more attracted to single girls cuz its actually attainable,

I guess it's wanting what you can't have. What's "off-limits" seems more interesting, and enticing :)
I agree..

yes, it's simple evolutionary psychology

most women want the alpha male, the guy that is "superior" to her and can give their possible future offspring the best chance of survival

I guess it's because you like how they are in a relationship and want the same sort of thing?

OmG yes, when i was with my ex- girls who were too shy to talk to me before  , started talking to me and flirting more than ever.


I guess   jealousy makes you act.

i like a girl who has had a few boyfriends before, but not one whos been single for like 8 years. maybe one thats been single for about 3 months?

I find a man more attractive when he's taken, and since i'm taken, right now, i've noticed more guys checking me out then before.

Maybe it's just how it works?
