I was the lead singer and lead guitarist in a rock band. We played bars and such and had a pretty good following. I wasn't interested in fooling around on my girlfriend and I wasn't interested in fooling around on her when she was my wife. I had a system that was full proof on how to handle the opportunities when they came around. (Or so I THOUGHT).
On breaks, I'd go out and do a bit of mingling with the crowd. If I had a woman who was coming on to me, I'd say something like, "Oh those are nice earrings, my "wife" has a pair just like them". That statement not only told her that I was married but told her that If I was looking for some action on the side, I wouldn't have likely mentioned the fact that I was married. Most of the time, that approach worked like a charm. However, there were a few times when it didn't work. I was like the woman who was coming on to me looked at it as a challenge and she just put the pressure up a notch or two.
I've researched this a bit, talked to some women and here are four reasons I came up with.
He's taking better care of himself.
When he was single, he dressed in sneakers, jeans, and a t-shirt. Not that there is anything wrong with that but now, since he's been married, he's made some changes. He dresses in things like khaki pants, with a black button up shirt and a pair of dress shoes. He may wear a t-shirt and pants when he mows the grass but when he's out, he's putting on the Ritz. A man's got to keep himself looking hot for his wife.
He's stopped trying so hard.
He may be keeping himself looking good but he's not using it. When a guy's single, he gets dressed up to go out for one reason. To make himself more appealing to the ladies. The married guy already has his lady. He's looking good for him and his wife. He's taking more pride in his appearance too. The fact that he's not using all of this to meet women makes it look like he's playing hard to get. Playing hard to get is a big attraction to a lot of women.
He's a better candidate for a no strings kind of fling.
There are women out there who don't want a man who's going to try to move in with them. They don't want a man who is going to fall in love with them after the third date. They don't want a man who gets all possessive. They just want a guy to have some fun with. If could be sex or just nights out on the town or both. A married man isn't likely to get all possessive, he wants to keep a fling a secret as much as possible.
He knows how to handle a woman.
Since he's been married, he's been around his wife more. He's learned a thing or two as well. He's more in touch with his wife's emotional needs and he's more in tune with women. This is the result of the training he's been getting from his wife. This will up the other woman's attraction to him in a big way in most cases.
This information is just some FYI. Don't assume that every single woman out there is after a married man. The percentage of women who scan the area for a married man to get with are relatively small.
