    its a proven fact that women find men in committed relationships more attractive than men not in committed relationships because they view those men as more relationship material than other men who only want sex. The opposite is true in men, we view women in relationships as off limits or the kind of girl who would require major emotional tending to before we can get what we want from them, in other words hard work, with low reward probability. However men are more likely to cheat statistics show, but more often than not, do not go back to the women they cheated with. Its YOU girls that are more likely to cheat and CONTINUE TO GO BACK to that person and even switch over to dating that person and leaving your current spouse. It is much easier for a girl to get sex than it is for a guy, guys want it more but get it less, girls want it less but can easily get it more if they want.

    hard to say. You can argue it both ways.

    Men like attractive women regardless of their marital status.

    However, some women find men in relationships attractive because it means they must have something going for them (otherwise they would be single). It's bad logic (since said man was single at some point) but what can you do.

    Well men are usually the ones who think their wives aren't attractive after several years of marriage and it makes the women very lonely and more likely to cheat cuz they know there are some men out there that would love to be with em. But a man could cheat in that situation too. Most likely with a random young attractive woman.

    It takes one woman to cheat with one man. The numbers must be very nearly equal, by default. Personal experience, indicates that more women have affairs, than men, but only by a small margin.

    In my experience, more women are attracted to men who are already in relationships.

    Not me, though! I'm not evil and heartless...

    I think men are more likely to have extramarital affairs but women also like to compete with other women. It's a draw.

    It takes two. I've been hit on loads of times, even though I was/am married.

    I think statistics show that men are more likely to cheat. So it naturally follows that women would be the ones more likely to pursue men already in relationships when they themselves are not in one.
