Comment on The Hot Girl Effect and Networkingparent

Comments

I hear guys talk about the marriage effect all the time but I suspect the increased attention they get from women isn't what you think it is.

As a married man, you're now domesticated. Imagine going to the park and seeing a golden retriever. You might pat this dog on the head, or play with him, because you know he's been trained well and sociable. But if you go camping and see a wolf, you'd do well to steer clear.

In a lot of cases, the woman flirts with a married guy b/c exactly BECAUSE she knew you wouldn't react. Same theory for why some women are great friends with gay guys.
