Do women like it when married men make advances on them?

Found it pathetic when I was single, find it pathetic now that I'm married. The ONLY exception is if the man (or woman) is in a polyamorous relationship with his/her spouse and openly and respectfully states that and then respectfully inquires if *I* am available for dating. There are people who have consensual open marriages and in that case, it's not offensive if they are polite to me and *ask* about my availability.

The thing is, when I've been approached by married men who have vowed monogamy to their spouses and they suggest that we have an affair even after I've said, "I'm married," it's the same as saying, "I have no personal ethics and hey...you look like you just might be a scumbag too!" So. Not. Hot.

Equally "unhot" are the douches who think women don't know their own minds well enough see the "I'll approach you as a platonic friend and because you're so stupid I'll lure you into the sack" strategy. Yeah. I'm such a confused little creature that you can sneak up on me like that with your superior brain power. Newsflash: I have had platonic male friends (REAL friends) all my life, dork.

Not suggesting this is *you,* questioner. You sound sane and intelligent. Let's get some pizza.

No, the majority of women do NOT like it when married men make advanced on them. Especially if the woman is in a relationship themselves, married or otherwise and/or may be in a alternative lifestyle and/or so on. Kristin earlier responded here with "The ONLY exception is if the man (or woman) is in a poly-amorous relationship with his/her spouse and openly and respectfully states that and then respectfully inquires if *I* am available for dating. There are people who have consensual open marriages and in that case, it's not offensive if they are polite to me and *ask* about my availability".

That is true, Kristin, (you can throw in swingers in that group) having seen it myself, but that doesn't make it right (for most folk) from a moral stance. Still, in some ways, a woman (or a man) will like the extra attention, especially if she (or he), the recipient, is not getting the attention she or he wants/deserves at home for whatever reason(s) AND if such goes no further than that.

Married men like it at times too (it is not all about the looks...but it helps...sometimes), but either way, it is not right. There is nothing wrong with looking at others, and having private thoughts, even when you are married, for it may help you appreciate what YOU have at home (who supposedly loves YOU for YOU!), but going beyond such, verbally or otherwise, is asking for trouble for you and/or the other person. Just don't do it!

Nice troll bait! Phrong actually provided the simplest answer. I think its funny how other have implied these relationships were entered into for only sexual reasons. Their understanding of the LDS doctrines are perverted and misguided. Where is the evidence that this was the reasoning for those marriages? I think a couple aspects need to be taken into consideration before anyone passes judgment. One is that of plural marriage mentioned in the bible. All to often those against the LDS faith condemn the act without recognizing that polygamy existed anciently among the early patriarchs. If you want to accuse the LDS for being unbiblical...think again. Another aspect is that of the Abrahamic covenant. Abraham was promised that his prosperity would be like the grains of sand or stars of the sky. It was his lineage that would bless all nations. Those outside his lineage were adopted in and considered of the covenant as well through ordinances of the gospel. (baptism to the gentiles, they were reborn into covenant) The concept of an eternal family is evident in the scriptures. The act of being sealed to another person is one of the ordinances that enables this eternal family to exist. Covenants are not only made between the participants, but by the authority of God, are bound to Him as well. Now what does that have to do with your question. Everything! Antagonists love to muddy the waters of perception to cause confusion and deceit. At the same time they have no claim, nor understanding of such sacred covenants and doctrines. It is no doubt that such blessings exist, "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." (1 Cor 2:14) I doubt that those who make the claim that carnal pleasure was the reasoning behind Joseph's actions could even explain the concept of "being sealed" together as a family. Adding polygamy to that explanation is fuitile beyond that. The verse provided above said it best. To those who do not understand it is considered foolishness. This doesn't mean it's not true...it just means that to find out the truth you are going to have to search ponder and pray. True faith has always had its critics.

Deep down I am a bit flattered someone finds me attractive.

But honestly who wants to be the other women? Or have a man feel I am "other woman" material. Guys who are married and hit up on others are scumbags.

Yes some do or don't it depends but most women like guys to do that if there married or not

When I was single, no. Perhaps yes it's flattering deep down to know you got *it* but it isn't something I'm going to pursue or want for myself (I.e a taken man..)

I like it, if he's attractive.

And I'll sleep with him and I refuse to feel guilty about it, because I'm not the one who made vows and promises, he did, and besides, I'm doing his wife a favour, if he is cheating on her, their marriage is long over anyway.

Absolutely not! It's very gross and sad when someone doesn't respect their vows and family.

I do not like it especially when they are co workers.

NO! NO! NO! NO! NOOO! AND MORE NOOO!!! My only thought is, "Get outta here!"
