Women who like married men
Why Do Women Fall for Married Men?
Many women uncover themselves in the emotionally complex situation of falling for a married man. This is a dilemma that is not only romantic but deeply psychological. At first glance, the attraction to a married man may seem logical: he is already proven to be capable of commitment, someone else's warmth confirms his qualities, and he appears to be a man of tall character. But the truths of this situation often brings disappointment, frustration, and emotional turmoil.

When many single women observe a moderately attractive male, they are more interested in him if they believe he is already in a relationship.

Take Lisa, a young, attractive, intelligent, successful woman from a major metropolitan area. She professed to want marriage and kids, desperately. So why did she waste precious time with Adam, a married father of two who never had any real intention of leaving his wife? And when they first met, was she really scanning the room for tall, dark, and handsome, or was she actually looking for married with romance sans responsibility?
