QUESTION

Hi Kiara,

Among the married men I know, there is one who leans towards me while I am equally attracted to him. Out of curiosity, I was wondering, what makes most married men so attracted to women who aren’t married?

Love,

ANSWER

Hi Nancy,

A married man may be attracted to a single woman for a variety of reasons. Attractions can be complex and multifaceted, depending on psychological and societal factors. It is impossible to find a one-size-fits-all answer to why single women are alluring, but there are a few common reasons.

1. Intrigue and Excitement: Married men may be attracted to single women because they’re exciting and mysterious. New relationships and adventures can spark feelings of attraction and desire.

2. Reinforcement of Masculinity: Some married men may perceive their masculinity as waning due to their marriage. By rekindling their attraction and validation of their masculinity, single women can boost their self-esteem.

3. Renewed Sense of Youthful Energy: Single women can remind married men of their youthful energy and vitality. Engaging in activities or experiencing things that they missed while married can create a sense of rejuvenation and attraction for them.

4. Fantasy and Escape: Some married men fantasize about having an affair with a single woman, as a means of escaping their daily routine and marital problems.

5. Challenging Stereotypes: Single women may attract married men because their expectations and stereotypes are challenged. Secret affairs and illicit romance can make them feel rebellious and empowered.

Though these reasons might make married men want to be with single women, it’s important to realize that their actions can have a serious impact. If you have an affair, you can end up with broken marriages, emotional pain, and heartbreak for everyone involved. Open and honest communication within a marriage helps fix problems.

Love,

Kiara!
