When I tell people I'm in a relationship, why do they continue to hit on me even more?

Asked by Draconess25 (4461points) April 15th, 2010

Me & my 2 girlfriends are going out (wow, that was redundant). When I tell people this, it doesn’t seem to get through their thick skulls.

Maybe you are just that attractive.

Some people like a challenge.Guess what? Wedding rings don’t act as a repellent either;)

Figure it out. People want what they cannot have, and they don’t appreciate what they do have.

You’re going out with 2 girls at the same time? Niiiiiice….

This guy approves.

If you are in a relationship with 2 women, anything these guys get would be sex only, no relationship. My God! I see the promised land!

In their minds, if you’re in a relationship with two people, maybe you’re open to dating even more people. Even if you’re very committed to your girlfriends and wouldn’t want to be with anyone else, a lot of people will hear that and think you’re a wild and crazy chick. To the jerks who are hitting on you, having two girlfriends means that you’re still on the market.

Some people think that is a bonus, especially if they are just looking for a 1 nighter.

You being in a relationship means they won’t have to worry about you expecting more from them than they are offering.

Then there are some people that will do it just because you are there, and they have nothing better to do.

Oh, really guys, don’t you think it has to be because she’s just so fine?

Ponderer983's avatar

They want what they can’t have, and some figure if you have someone that means you must be someone worth dating

Wait, dating two people is perfectly acceptable, but dating three people is unacceptable?

That is simple, when your taken it makes people want you even more because you are taken.

I have had guys become more interested in me when I’ve told them that I’m married. Bugs the heck out of me. I actually started wearing rings on both ring fingers on each hand just so guys wouldn’t have to think too hard.

In your case: you are many men’s fantasy…lucky you.

@lucillelucillelucille “Wedding rings don’t act as a repellent either”

I know some people that view wedding rings as a sign of “no hassles” pursuit. They know there will never be any commitment or responsibilities, and they are specifically attracted to that kind of relationship.

maybe the person who’s hitting on you would like to make your treesome into a foursome
