Your date is an exceptionally hawt woman and you two are magnetic together. The flirtatious girls are all thinking you must be all that to get such a desireable woman generating all that good energy.

What do you consider to be "flirting"? Just because they were looking at you does NOT mean they were flirting. Sounds like you have an overinflated ego. Also like another poster already stated, why were you noticing other women while on a date? Maybe you shouldn't be dating anyone if you can't control yourself.

Being with an attractive woman makes a man appear more attractive to other women, and safer. Since you won’t leave your mate and approach them, they can look at you a little more openly, without consequences, whereas otherwise they might be more discreet.

Even being in the company of other men makes a man more attractive if he carries himself well. It sends a message that he is known, familiar and accepted.

Seeing a person interacting in a social context provides crucial background information about his personality and character, notably absent from most internet dating encounters.

Very much in agreement with this.

A man who can carry himself well amongst other men gives the same aura as a man who is in the company of a beautiful woman. There is a lot of truth in “a man is judged by the company he keeps”.

I’ve also noticed that when I was out with my ex-gf, who was a stunningly beautiful woman, I got much more admiring glances from the ladies too. It’s all part of normal human psychology, part of being judged favorably when your social value has risen.

I suggest that you the OP eats it all up. Because if you ever find yourself single again, you'll no longer enjoy such favorable judgment.

I notice the same trend when dating someone. Sort of my fault though. Enjoying someone's company my mood gets lighter & the one liners just pour out to whoever. Not really my intention but I'm guessing other women read it as my being flirtatious & responding in kind. I take it with a grain of salt though & stay focused on the one I'm with.

I reread his post and don't see any mention or indication "truely interested" he went on a date, he didn't get married

Ok, I can see maybe a few women sending you flirtatious glances, but almost every woman in the downtown area?
C'mon!
Like others have said, people are attracted to other people who look happy and are having a good time. Did these women approach you? Or were they just looking at you? Maybe your confidence was out of whack being on a date (2nd in 5 yrs?) and you *thought* every woman wanted you.

thank you flueron, you admited its allabout the looks, so what if a not so attractive man has a great personality like all the women onhere say thats all they want is personality, it sall about the looks period!


Oh FFS…..he was walking around with his date. He didn’t MEET or KNOW these women! How the heck would any of the masses of women flirting with him possibly have any idea what his ‘personality’ is like??? Give me a freakin break.

Please don’t put words in my mouth. I don’t like it.

You want some cheese with that screechy whine? Jeezus.

"Hi,

Today, I went out with a really nice girl. We went out to a community event.
Almost every female, even ones out of my league, tried to flirt with me.
Normally those females, if I were by myself wouldn't even glance at me and would just simply stick their noses at me.

Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Best regards,
WhatsNew11"

Basically, they see another woman with you and it ups your status in their eyes.

IE, ugly dorky guy with hot girl hanging all over him = there must be something else there that they can't see. It makes them curious/interested.

Not saying you're ugly and dorky but that is how it is.

Most women are not interested in single men.

"No this has never ever happened to me or any of my friends or any of their friends friends.."

I've had this happen to me a lot actually (I am 30 girlfriend is 25)

I can count the number of times I've been hit on in public by women (while out alone shopping or whatever) on one hand. Three times in my whole life. Doesn't matter how I dress, act, what I'm doing or where I am the fact is that I am just not good looking in the eyes of women. Just another schmuck.

I go out with my girlfriend and girls are looking, giggling, laughing. Girl behind a cash register flirting with me, telling me that I look great in front of my girlfriend (oh - you both do! you guys going out?) sort of thing. At a bar, I go to get drinks and this girl tries to hand me a napkin with her number on it. Waitress told me she wished that she could get a guy like me. And that was just one day!

Just how a lot of women are especially younger ones. They want a guy who is attached because they figure he's a known quantity - they see another girl with him and automatically figure that he's good to go. A single guy is more of a gamble. Why is he single? Is he not social? A loser? No confidence? That sort of thing.

I concur !

Just like that Seinfeld episode where George brought that pic of the hot chick to that secret bar for models.


In my experience , the more attractive the girl is that I've been with the more attention I seem to have gotten .

I guess the women denying this don't realize how obvious it is ?

Conversely, whenever I'm alone in public it's like I'm Mr. Invisible.

Why are you glancing round at other women in order to notice they are flirting with you, whilst you are on a date with someone else ?

If you want to live your life with your head in the clouds, you'll never see the attack before it happens. I'm always in a 'relaxed awareness' of my surroundings. I can go from that relaxed state to full alert in a blink of an eye. A mugger will pick the person shuffling along staring at the ground, over one who's head is up, walking with a purpose, and aware of their surroundings.

It's simple. Women will see you as a cool/interesting guy if you're walking into an event with a nice/good-looking woman. Why else would a quality woman be with you? The opposite end of the spectrum would be the loner with his hands in his pockets in the corner. It communicates the fact that you're comfortable around women and vice versa.

I can't believe people in this thread are bashing the OP for noticing a change in social behaviour. He never said he was disrespecting his date in any way.

It may be the competitive thing and once you are seen with a nice woman you are more desirable I guess. It is like the married man who suddenly become popular. Or they feel relaxed enough to be friendly to you as you are safe and with another girl It may not be actual flirting.

It's not just when you are on a date, it happens when you're out with friends too.

Just being out with an attractive woman, even if it's platonic makes you more attractive in other women's eyes. Part of it is the "he's not a psycho" vibe -- IE, you've been pre-screened. Part of it is that you must be interesting for an attractive woman to spend time with you.

And if that friend has a matchmaker bent, before you know it she's off chatting you up and you're become popular very quickly.

Attractive women = Best. Wingmen. Ever.

As for dating a very attractive woman, if women notice that you have been dating very attractive women, once you are single they are nearly always more receptive. The idea that is that if you can keep such women interested, there is likely something beneath the surface worth exploring.

The OP caused me to reflect on my past dating life. When I have been with really hot women I too have had other women come onto me. A few times I think it was just to anger my date, which it did! Women can be competitive with one another and catty. I have both experienced and observed some remarkable exchanges, even physical fights, between women over a particular man. One thing I learned long ago is that if a man dates good looking women other good looking women will want him. Was your date very pretty and dressed to look hot OP? That would have upped the ante.

It's mainly women bashing him and it's because they don't want to admit that it's true.

in my experience, i've noticed that i'm usually treated nicer and better when i'm with a man. a few times when i went somewhere with my ex, i seemed to get more respect from both men and women. not sure why this is but it is. when i'm alone, usually i get no attention.

This is 100% true. Especially if they are outgoing women who actually get along well with other women. (which seems to be rare these days) One of my best female friends likes to go out with me and the guys once in a while, and she has no problem getting women to come sit at our table within minutes. She usually strikes up conversation over something small like what they're wearing. "Oh my God, I love your shirt! Where did you get it?...blah, blah, blah. Hey, do you and your friends want to come sit at our table?"

It doesn't matter if they want to admit it's true, the fact of the matter is, it IS true. There are aggressive women out there today who will go after what they want no matter what the circumstances, and they don't "flirt", they flat out come on to men they see with another woman. I've seen it and been a part of it countless times.

Must be that raw animal magnetism you undoubtedly possess?


Normally those females, if I were by myself wouldn't even glance at me and would just simply stick their noses at me.

Sticked their noses at you? Like when dogs poke their noses in your crotch sometimes? I've never seen a woman do that, but I'd pay a dollar to see it!


Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Umm... not that I recall, I guess I was too busy paying attention to my dates and showing them the respect and common decency they were entitled to.

Relationship researchers have been calling this the "halo effect" since the twenties (from Thorndike, who figures large in undergrad texts), and one thing nobody's mentioned is that it is cruelly gender-specific in the relationship field.

Researchers found that people rated men as more attractive or desirable when they were accompanied by attractive women; the predominant reason they isolated was that the presence of attracted hot females was pretty much a marker of attractiveness.

On the other hand, women with much more attractive men were not held in increased esteem: they garnered nasty comments about how they must be slus or have gotten pregnant to nab a man.

If things have changed since I graduated from University and started reading fewer psychology books, I'd be very cheered to hear about it.

It's sort of like taunting a dangerous animal who they know is chained to a stake in the ground.
