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 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?

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?

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.

No.

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

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

Yeah I hate when I'm in a relationship and then a bunch of guys wanna come and take me away they find me more attractive I've been single four years before I met my bf now a sworm of guys are out to get me and shit like wtf if you wanted me you should have taken me when I was fucking single

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

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

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 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?"
