Why why why why why....

[foxy]

Alright I have a bone to pick... and its with men.

You say women are insane, and I can understand that point of view. I know for the record many occaisions where I have "lost it".

I say you are JUST as bad.

Today over the course of three hours I was hit on by two guys and checked out by one bus driver and a car of golfers.

When I wasn't with Scram, this never happened. I dated people but it was NEVER as blantant as this. This is stupid, do you guys have a thing that makes taken women attractive!?!?! WHY DO YOU DO IT! Especially when I'm SO happy with the man I have.

This is crazy...

explain to me why, why does this Y chromosome create such problems!?!?

Why why why why?

[scram]

Because men are idiots?

[Gin&Tonic]

I'm dating Des and no-one's hit on me recently

/cries

Edit: take it as a compliment you beeeaaauuutiful laydee :) just be happy you're happy with Scram and you have men falling at your feet (not literally, ew). Take pride in telling them to bugger off! :D

I didn't know I said those things. Thanks for telling me, I'll remember that....

Don't generalise people! It only leads to trouble!

It's only some men who are like that, just like not all girls are whores...

[Flack]

I Agree with scram.

And my i be the first to say, in reply to your title.. "Delilah".

And good luck. If you get hit on by that many at a golf course, I'd be amazed if you didnt get hit on otherwise....

[killsteel]

Because men are idiots?

Well, excuse me!

I'm certainly not an idiot!

not much anyway

[RobW]

It's a dirty problem we men have. I don't really want to do it but my head will go down a bit lower than looking at a woman's face. I'm stared at a bit and I give you sympathy.

[killsteel]

It's a dirty problem we men have.

Ahhh!

Can you lot stop being sexist for one minuite?

Edit: I know Foxy wasn't really being serious, but If I went around saying bad stuff about women, everyone would be annoyed at me....

[scram]

Take pride in telling them to bugger off! :D

Amen to that.

See how many ways you can find to break their puny hearts.

Killsteel - if you're making this argument then you clearly are an idiot. True fact. Go read another thread

[killsteel]

???

How am I an idiot?

Because I am arguing against sexism?

[Gin&Tonic]

Killsteel, seriously, shhh.

Foxy isn't a sexist in any way, shape or form and she clearly wasn't trying to start a row with her lighthearted, truthful and humourous observation. Hey, maybe you need to be a female to understand what she's talking about.

If you feel so hard done by; make an intelligent debate about it, stop complaining here.

That's all :)

[killsteel]

Truthful? :mad: /jk

But seriously, I was offended, okay? I certainly don't do that stuff, and I don't like people telling me what I do, when they don't even know me.

I suppose quite a lot of guys do that, but don't accuse me of doing stuff like that, okay?

You should be happy that men find you attractive. Hey, you could always just make yourself extremely ugly, that would work....

[Shave]

maybe you've only noticed it since you've been with scram, it's probably gone on for a while and you just haven't realised?

[labmonkey]

Its common phenomenon, they can sense that your a good looking, happy, confident lady who wants nothing from any man except the one your with. Self confidence seems to be a very attractive trait to men. They can also sense when a woman is out to get herself a man and run a mile. The old joke is sadly true, men are like buses you wait for ages for one to come along and when he does another 3 appear! :D

[renatzu]

Well first thing, this means men think you're attrictive. Second, it's been happening for a long time, it's just that either you didn't notice it, or it was by guys who are good enough to not be seen doing it. Only idiots blatently stare, however the eyes just tend to creep in that direction. It's a nasty habit most of us have.

Then again this does give you the opportunity to think up scathing remarks to reject them.

[bionic sheep]

y halo thar butsecks???!!!!!!



Apologies, but it had to be done. Recently I had the problem that I've been single and lonely (:() for a year and a half, and then suddenly three women come along at once. Le floof.

[PoofBird]

It's a proven fact that women who are in love, are more attractive to other men.

some ancient tribal thing, probably. Instincts and evolution.
A likely explanation would be that women who are happy in a relationship are more likely to be fertile and a 'good catch' than women who aren't.

Cursed be our male hormones :)

[Magpie]

page two and no-one has pointed out it works the same way for men in relationships?

you people scare me.

(ofl)

oh yeah, that's true too

i'm a much better puller when I'm in love. They just flock around me and check me out, girls do!

[scram]

I'll be expecting to be fighting off hordes of young freshers then next week shall I?

*rolleyes*

[Magpie]

confidence and happiness are attractive.

bloody angst-bags.

I'm sure someone was talking about this on #weebl last night.

whoever you were come and post and make me not look stupid!

[PJ]

Women who are attractive, get noticed.
Women don't notice until they have a reason to say go away.

[Ant2oo4]

omg peej made coherant sentances, and they are actually pretty truthful.

[Zweee]

I'm dating Des and no-one's hit on me recently

Hey good lookin' .. how you doin? :p


Its all down to sods law, Anything that can happen WILL happen.

Your single... nobody gives you a second glance, you find someone and suddenly the whole world wants to date you.. its just the way it goes.

Its the same for men too ya know!

[Littleshore]

It is? Man, i need a woman :p

[Lionel]

My friend actually was just telling me this the other day. He said that he never had any offers when he was single, but now he's got a girlfriend, he gets "propositioned" on a fairly regular basis.

Still, having a girlfriend/boyfriend isn't the be-all and end-all, and yeah, men are insane, but so are women. That's why I like people so much :D

[bigmother]

foxy just flash a bit of ankle and they'll be running away holding their crotches.

[scram]

Yes. Ankles always make me need a wee.

I think this is the best summary so far. For some reason, even though I've never had a girlfriend, I do tend to get freaked out when someone is so desperate as to like me (at least if I dont like them, otherwise I'm fine with it :D ) 0_o

And the one time that the girl who I liked did actually like me too *gasp* , I found it much easier to get on with the chicks, because I knew that I liked her and could just interact without girls without thinking how much they liked me or were flirting or whatever.

It's so true that you're more attractive/confident with the opposite sex when you know that you love someone and they love you... *sniff*

[flyingmonkey]

I have expierenced this phenomena first hand. And I've fallen prey to it too. It think it's just the fact that people want what they can't have. I had been good friends with a guy for years. I had never, EVER, felt anything for him other than friendship. He gets a girlfriend, and BAM!, it hits me like a load of bricks right in the face. I decide that I really like him, but luckily I had enough sense not to say anything and mess up his current relationship. I'm not a jealous person but I think it's just basic human nature to want what you can't have.

On the other end, I had been dating the same guy for for a little over a year. I had only been asked out twice before that in my entire life. During that one year, I was hit on more times than I can count and I was asked out by 8 different men. We break up, I haven't had one offer since.

So I think it's safe to say that it's just basic human nature for people to want what they can't have. Also, there's the fact that if a person is in a long-term relationship, then there must be something decent about them. They might seem like a fat ugly slob to you at first but obviously they have to have SOME good qualities in order to keep a significant other for any length of time.

So yeah, my that's my thoughts on the subject.

[Scribbly]

Actually... isn't the "fact" that women try to take guys who already have a girlfriend, not vice versa? I know that if I find out that a girl already has a boyfriend, I back off. Unless the girl is really hot. Or the boyfriend is some nerd. Or not around for a week. Or.... well, you get my point. We know where to stop.

[Tik]

Maybe they didn't know you were taken. Its all a coincidence.







Or a conspiracy :ninja: .


Men see attractive woman = men attracted to said woman. Dont bother about it and be glad people actually like you. They're not going to get anywhere are they? You've already got who you want so......*shrugs*

[mittens]

everything's more attractive when you see someone else with it, relationships included.

in a way, the attraction to someone else’s boy- or girlfriend works in much the same way as basic consumer instinct. consider how attractive a product appears to consumers if they don't feel that any one else desires it? with this in mind, think on which are you more drawn to, a girl who is evidently on her own or a girl who another man obviously finds attractive?

it may seem foolish, but the heightened feeling of attraction to “taken” men or women seems to be an instinctive response, albeit encouraged by today's competitive and possessive society.

I wish this would happen to me...

[Flamable Brick]

i blame the bus driver. lets hunt him down

[xanthateto]

I think maybe the way people feel when they're with somone (happy, confident etc) has some impact on how they're perceived by members of the opposite sex. In the last year I've met four different girls who I was interested in and who I felt were interested in me, and I didn't find out until later that all of them were taken. So I think there must be some kind of subconciess air about people when they're no longer single.
