Yeah, I gotta beat 'em off with a stick.
'specially around their meal time.
If you’re attached she figures that at least one woman thought you were OK. If you’re not attached, she wonders why.
Yes, men that are 'attached' to huge bank accounts.
I didn’t read beyond the excerpt posted here. Does the word “marriage” figure into it at all? Or is “committed relationship” as strong as it gets when they were asking the questions? Just curious.

Noting that single women often complain that “all the good men are taken,” the psychologists wondered if “this perception is really based on the fact that taken men are perceived as good.”
As our industrial base further diminishes and our increasingly impoverished nation begins to buckle under the weight of unsustainable burdens, the contribution one of our publicly-supported research universities is making to our country is to investigate the question, "are all the good men really taken?"
Thanks, ladies, for your important work.
I should show this article to my wife. She’s always pressuring me to get a wedding ring and wear it. I’m one of those people who absolutely hates wearing any kind of jewelry, including rings. The only thing I’ll wear is a watch.
This means stead, not necessarily married. When a man is in that state, he is almost married (marriageable material). Then it is easy to come along and pick off the fruit from someone who has labored long and hard.
Taking a married man, is a loosing proposition, because he soon learns that he can get another interested woman just the same.
The article said — But single women showed a distinct preference for mate poaching. When the man was described as unattached, 59 percent of the single women were interested in pursuing him. When that same man was described as being in a committed relationship, 90 percent were interested.

Ummm..., I’ve seen that principle in operation, in real life... :-)

It’s neurotic women seeking to prove they’re “good enough” to ruin someone else’s marriage. If they actually pull off an affair, they lose interest and move on to assault another family.
Ok, as a single woman, I’ll explain this:
First, says my very Catholic mother, a man is not taken until the wedding ring is on his finger, and I agree with that. Once a man is married, he’s totally off limits, but if a man is just in a relationship with someone, and I’m interested in him, that relationship is not a deterrent to getting to know him (meaning: NOTHING physical, no hugging, no kissing, just talking to someone), because there is no indicia of permanence. It’s just a relationship, and relationships break up - often because people find someone else whom they think is better suited to them. So I’d talk to the guy, get to know him, etc. and then he gets to make his own decision - stay in the relationship he’s in because it’s working out or not.
Second, it’s an indication that a man is not a total horndog. He’s not yet really taken, but he’s interested in something stable and perhaps lasting. And that’s attractive to nearly all women and, from what I can tell from my skewed NYC perspective, not very attractive to a whole lot of men.
Women generally have a hard time thinking for themselves, in as far as choosing a man.
Not Lorena Bobbitt.
They can't resist the urge to take another woman's man.
it is just a coo coo (sp?) bird behavior.
Humans do MANY differnet things. To say this is a set behavior in such a large population is dubious at best.
Star Trek was cancelled in the 1960’s but the small fan base kept the franchise alive. Does this mean EVERYONE in the USA is a latent fan of the series? don’t think so.
