Are the good ones all taken?
Posted by: zeebees on: April 28, 2010
Or is it because the taken ones appear to be good?
In a study, when single women are presented a photo of a man:
- 59% women are interested in a relationship when the man is labeled single.
- 90% women are interested in a relationship when the man is labeled in a relationship.
The same study also found that whether a woman is in a relationship does not affect men’s judgment on the attractiveness of the women.
Possible Explanation:
- Men are more subjective than women (or they are just so superficial that nothing else matters.)
- Women are more attracted to an attached man because he is pre-screened by other women, and that he may have less commitment issues (think Sienfeld episode).

The good ones are rarely noticed while the bad ones are more to the womans likeing. Don’t know why that is but I got friend whos never dated even though he studied dateing just to learn how to make a woman happy and hes ignored like hes diseased or something. Just the mention of his name or the showing of picture gets woman to turn tale run. Good ones are there its just women don’t want them.

I feel all the good ones live to far. When oyu finally meet someone that matches everything you want and get to know them. Its like they live so far away you can’t get to them. I wish I can find that special someon that lives near me.

Men in a relationship don’t appear to be as anxious or frustrated.

I sure don’t think all the good ones are taken. It’s a new and different world out there and very few places to meet a good woman,or man. It is not easy to be a social butterfly. Were out here with the same frustration that you have. I’m here and available so go for it.
