Dear UrbanGirl; The married men that do flirt with single women do so for a variety of reasons: Some are bored, and looking for a little 'harmless' excitment; (Harmless is a relative term here; they can always convince themselves they aren't serious if the woman responds in a positive way) Some may genuinely be looking for an opportunity to cheat on their spouses, but would deny it if cornered. Others, more secure in their relationships (and a steady relationship does give a man a huge measure of self-confidence) probably see it as a way to start and carry on a conversation with a good-looking lady with little fear of rejection. I'm sure that from your perspective this is somewhat annoying, and might be perceived as borderline 'cheating'; of the men who do it though, most have no intention of cheating on their spouses; they merely do it because they can get away with it. I hope that helps. Kind Regards, --Malachi

because it is exciting.....the whole premise of secrecy and getting into something that makes one feel good inside, but moreso feeling wanted and needed by someone other than your spouse>>>>>>>>>>from a married woman who flirts with both single and married men..............

Men usually realize that their life is officially over once they get married, so they need to get the flirting out of their system. Flirting with a woman who doesn't repond well to it is a man's way of getting the flirting out of his system, without the worry of being tempted. Either that, or men just like a challenge! -SHOOTME

Some and not all married men do flirt with single women basically to see if the 'still have it'. It's just an ego thing. No different than a married woman letting someone flirt with them a little too much and brushing it off if her husband questions it.

For the same reason married women flirt with single men - it's nice to know you've still 'got it'. Married flirting isn't just a guy thing, you know. It's really that simple, I think. Hope this helps :) Ron

Maybe they do it for the challenge? Maybe some guys even feel that it is safe to flirt with an uninterested woman because they will never call his bluff and flirt back. I do not have the answer to this. I myself would only flirt if it was encouraged and/or returned.
