Why do you think that most women like attached (unavailable) men?

Just so you will know that I'm not making this up:

"...When researchers showed a picture to female participants, 59% said they would go after him after they heard he was single. But, when the same photo was shown to a different group with the explanation he was attached, 90% of the women would go for him..."

Update:

"Holly", the same study was reported in the New York Times

    I have a friend that finds unavailable men more attractive. For her though I think it's an ego thing. She likes to know she could have your man if she wanted him. She told me my marriage would never last. She hit on my husband, right in front of me even lol and he was not interested. Later he told me she had no respect for me to do that. So... she had to let me know since she couldn't have him... he was not the one for me... haha... some women like the challenge of knowing she can steal a man... though I don't know how much of a prize that would be... considering the next chick that goes for him would make him leave you...

    1 - They like the challenge

    2 - They think if another chick has something, then it must be good

    3 - 80% of the women are shooting for the top 20% of men. The math don't add up so the guys at the top have all kinds of sexual opportunities

    I study someplace that that ladies folk think of related adult adult males are greater efficient and greater alluring with the aid of fact some female needs them. and actually, if a guy has greater women folk around him different women folk perceive him as greater efficient capture.

    American Women are delusional hypocritical bit*ches that think the earth turns around them and they want drama to center around them. Drama that affects and destroy others is what gives them a sexual rise out of. American women are f*(king trash!

    Yeah "Yahoo Shine" is such a good place to get scientific facts. Ive seen "studies" that say exactly the opposite before. I know if I see that ring I lose all interest immediately.
