Why is it, when you are in a good relationship, that all of a sudden you start meeting lots of interesting people?

I mean in the last few months I have met several women that I would have loved to go out with if I were still single. In turn, they seem interested in me, telling me that it is too bad that I'm unavailable.

Where were they when I was available. Do people in good relationships throw off a positive vibe that other pick up on?
 
I blame pheromones and the fact that you're feeling damn good when you're in a new relationship.
 
I've noticed that too, I've always thought it was just one of God's twisted little jokes.
 
My theory is that when you're *in* a relationship...you stop overthinking things and develop a more carefree attitude which is very attractive.

And not a very funny one, at that.
 
I call it feast or famine. If you can get one, you can get 50!

It is lifes way of testing the relationship you are in.

Turn it around: What if you've been single for a while, ready to get a fresh start, and nobody is available?


Another one of God's cruel jokes.

Damn good answer! I never thought about that, but I bet your right. An interesting Doctoral thesis for you raindancer, or at least a Master's thesis.

Heh. We can bring in ladies and sniff 'um. ;)
 
I find that some of the most interesting and sexy men are "very married". And having integrity can really suck sometimes.
 
I can't say I have this problem myself. Been married too long now to even consider any other people I would want to be with.

However, I think its just the fact that some women want what they can't have (that also applies to some men too). Hence the comments of "too bad you're attached" and such like that.

Just my opinion.

There is a safety factor. You are taken. It is safe to talk and to flirt with you. No repercussions.

I find that I can be much more open when I don't feel like someone is going to hit on me. I find that men are also more open to me since I am an old married woman. They can tell me anything because I am not sexually interested in them. I am interested in them just for the person they are and since they don't have to try to impress me, they can be more comfortable being themselves.
