The mystique of married men....

I'm curious. What is it about some married men that make them irresistable to the other sex?

I have quite a number of single guy friends, quite a number of married guy friends as well. But somehow, It seems that the married guys are more likely to be involved with other women (other than their wives) than the single guys.

Do women really go more for married men? I'm not sure if this a trend, a sign of things to come, or just a fad, but I do know what I see, and I definitely see married guys being more popular among the ladies than single guys. Even in the place I work, the pretty girls more often than not have no compunctions about having relationships with married men. Ironically enough, the vast majority of these women also end up heartbroken, since it also seems to be rare for a married man to leave his wife for another woman.

Is it because more women are less into commitment, and prefer their men to be that way too? Or does the fact that these men are already spoken for encourage women into pursuing them? I don't know, help me out guys.

I've been married for quite a number of years, and I have been single for several more since then, but I guess I must be "old school", since to be honest, I really don't get it.

What do women want nowadays? Commitment? Or just a good time? Maybe I oughta just turn this into a poll. Oops. It already is. :-) Cast your vote here.

Memo to potential lewinsky's out there: It ain't worth it ladies. You are much sweeter, charming, and smarter than you and your good for nuthin exBF think. Just sublimate it by viewing desperate housewives or just go to the kick boxing gym and practice those ball breaking jabs and right hooks.

(Psst, ignore what I just said, my wife was watching over my shoulder a moment ago. now that she's out of the room, I'm accepting applicants. just email me)

Women who prefer married men have no values at all. Whether they hate commitment or just want to have fun, they should still go for single men. Oh well...

i used to think that i was always attracted to unavailable men. it must be the responsible and hardworking image of married men that makes them very interesting.

After all the Romeos, Juliet, and Anthony, Cleopatra, lovers are finding the true colors of love. Eventually some will survive the idea of being hurt, some got smarter, and others just become dim-witted.

Some men feel their wives are a bit too monotonous for an appetizing late dinner so he decides to take on younger chicks. Some younger chicks decided that she had enough of men her age who offers nothing but a banging machine. The young lads are fed up with girls who are constantly bitching about not being given enough attention that they desire. Women are exhausted over their husband’s boring routine, unappealing smell, lousy appearance, protruding bellies, wardrobes that suck and of course vice versa.

Single or married, some are going after married men and women, older or younger or of similar sexes. Some things made the once beautiful relationship soured somewhere.

So why are some women (married or single) after married men? Perhaps they admire the comfort and stability in which the married man handles his family affairs. The temptress can’t wait to get their claws on these men while some men are not about to refuse the free chicken.

Why are some married men after married or single women? Perhaps their wives have lost that loving feeling or behind the once flaming bedroom scenes. Overly stress out married men who can’t seem to find that special caring and supportive attributes that their wives once had for them. Perhaps some of these men are simply men with an itching power of 12 horses and able to afford the luxury of Hilton instead of cheap Bates Motel, fine restaurants instead of turo-turo, and concerts instead of matinee movies which often dazzle women who are lazy to independently make a name for them.

Cupid makes no distinction between right and wrong and which hearts to be paired of the arrow. Everyone is looking for that COMFORT ZONE and the love nuts are determined to get it by hook or by crook.

Guy: I often ask myself the same question. :-)

Rain: And what may that be? :-)

TK: hahahaha! :-)

Evi: I used to think that way, but somehow, after seeing what would be otherwise respectable and intelligent women actually go for married men, I now have my doubts. Is it right for me, for anyone to label them as such and such because of that? Hmmm...:-)

Lisa: I get your point. I guess the image of a being a hardworking husband turns a lot of girls on. But then again, not all married men project an image of responsibility. It must something else then in these cases...

CL: A very astute postulation CL. It may very well not be due to any specific reason, other than the fact that men and women, married or not, are always trying to find something that would make them feel comfortable, make them feel happy.

We all know that men (in general, and that includes women) are insatiable by nature. There's always something to complain about. And there are indeed some who have no compunctions about getting whatever it is they want, regardless of the consequences.

Hmmm...

Thanks for all your comments people. :-)

Is aspartame safe?

Image
Do you know what aspartame is? Well, even if you don't, given its ubiquitous nature, its a virtual certainty that you have already crossed paths with it in your life at one time or another. For the uninitiated, aspartame is a low-calorie sugar substitute most often used in carbonated beverages, you know, the diet or lite variety. Here in the Philippines, it is commonly known by the brand names NutraSweet and Equal . The reason why it has significantly fewer calories is because its not carbohydrate based. Its a methyl (methane derivative) ester (organic compound) dipeptide (two amino acids joined by a single peptide bond) consisting of aspartic acid as the first amino acid, and phenylalanine as the second. Its about 180 times sweeter than typical table sugar, and as such, a little goes a long way. A single pellet of Equal (18 mg of aspartame) has about the same sweetening strength as a teaspoon of ordinary white sugar (about 5 ml). Do the math. It was first discovered in 19...

Photos courtesy of Ghosthunter If you drive or are at least into cars, no doubt you've probably heard at one time or another about the Khaos Super Turbo Charger . It's a device that is claimed to drastically reduce the fuel consumption of your gasoline driven vehicle by as much as 50%. It created such a hype when it was introduced in November 2003 after glowing reviews and endorsements from, among others, the Department of Energy (DOE), the Makati Land Transportation Office (LTO) and Taiwan’s Automotive Research and Testing Center. Even Malacañang got into the picture, and presented the inventor, Pablo Planas, with a Presidential Award Medal for Outstanding Invention. All in all, various government agencies and government officials got into the picture, singing the praises of a device that miraculously reduces fuel consumption by a significant margin. As a result, in less than a year, more than 3,500 units were sold and installed to customers who swear by the product's effe...
