Why me?

I might also add two things to this conversations:

First, it has been my understanding that the ‘wife’ tends to be associated with the negative aspects of relationships in our discourse. Example – the old ball and chain. We can all think of lots more. Further, ‘wife’ is often associated with domestic affairs such as children, house management, and nagging (an odd list I know). Unfortunately, ‘wife’ is not often associated with intimacy unless it is tied to the creation of family, children, and so on. Now, I will say that this is not how I view a wife and that this is likely not the view that many of you share. However, I think that we can agree that there is this view of the ‘wife’ out there (wherever there is). Therefore, I think that a part (notice I didn’t say all) of the reason that married men are attracted to you is because you do not represent the WIFE. That is, you represent someone who is the complete opposite as you provide a (safe) place where they can safely explore intimate sexual and emotional needs/desires. Unfortunately, this is only good for them, but I think you already know this.


Second, about the vibe thing. I read a wonderful article about sexual attraction when I was in university. It explored how men respond to friendliness from women. I forget the exact stats, but it was interesting to note that men were very likely to misunderstand friendship from a woman for sexual interest. I don’t mention this to tell you to stop being friendly, but to merely highlight why some men might be attracted to you.

Cheers

Thank you for your comments. And yes I do realize that there is the image of the wife out there. I also realize that this conversation could easily be turned toward the females as opposed to the males. As cheating can be done by the female as well as the male.
 
Everyone I'm off for the day. I'll check back in in the morning. Thanks for all the love and support!!!
 
And you think that's wrong? Is it wrong for me to ask the questions I am? Is it wrong to try and understand something that has been bothering me for weeks?

No, nothing wrong with it. I like to think I have morals myself. Clearly there are good people in the world ... but I don't know that I think that the preponderance of people have a moral code that guides them more than self interest does.

I used to think the balance was the other way ... but empirival evidence suggests I was wrong. And I find it interesting to think you would be looking for an explanation to support the theory against the evidence that suggests it is wrong, rather than look to revise your theory. Just curious, do you have a lot of past reason to think your current run is just an aberration?

Nothing other than the fact that it has happened with more frequency than before I turned 30.
