Hello all, just curious, are there guys out there who despite knowing that a lady is attached, still goes all the way out to ask her out on dates because he is interested in her? And if so, why would they do that when there are many ladies who are available?

I want to say that men and women do this all the time. It's been going on for centuries so I don't think it will stop anytime soon.

My own explanation I came up with, is that people who are taken appear to be at their best. People in a happy relationship, are genuinely happy and are not afraid to show this in their own way. I assume these qualities are very attractive to others and the temptation to resist is tough.

Sageoldguy1465 agony auntWhen we (guys) find a lady who is blisterin' hot... and we think that we can get her to put out... there is NO DETERRENT to our pursuing her until/unless we find that there is no future in it....

Does that help explain things?????

P.S. You can "cut to the quick" in such a situation by saying: "Hey, A-hole, in case you don't notice, I have a B/F and have NO INTENTION of putting out for you..... so back off before I have to ask my REAL B/F to rip your

@$&^*%-ing head off."

Honeypie agony auntBecause the idea that NO means maybe or yes if you are JUST persistent enough.

Unfortunately it's not just men who has that notion in their heads. Some women are JUST as disrespectful.

These ARE the kind of people you shut down and NOT talk to. If you haven't figured it out yet, these people are ALL about themselves and what THEY want.

I get that people say, GO for what you want. UP to a point WE all should. But what SOME people forget are the social rules and morals. There IS such a thing to accept that WHAT (or whom) you want isn't available and that you (general you) needs to respect that.

This guy "THINKS" he comes off as some CUTE labradoodle that just KEEPS dropping the ball at your feet hoping you will play fetch, but he actually comes across as a person who thinks YOU are easy swayed, that YOUR relationship doesn't matter, neither does what YOU want. Hence why you ignore people like that.

Because they are cocks and like the other person said they know no boundaries .

But also in the same context they know that there are also girls out there who are with men , who still like attention from other men and there are women who would still go off with him.

Guys that persist when you explicitly tell them you're in a relationship have no respect for boundaries and will probably cheat when they're in a relationship themselves. I'm actually glad people like this are so blatant about it; makes it easy to avoid them in the future.
