It’s no secret that singledoms look at a person’s left ring finger in search of a signal outlining their relationship status.
No ring means fair game, right?
However, a study published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology proves that, in fact, no ring
means no fun.
According to the experiment, single women were more interested in pursuing a married man, as being married proves that they are good guys. Plus, women crave the chase involved with pursuing a married man.
Meanwhile, single men were more concerned with the package as a whole, regardless if the woman was married or not.
“Our results showed an interesting mate poaching pattern,” the report says. “Although men were more interested in the target than women, this was because men were more interested in the target in general, regardless of whether she was attached or single. However, as predicted, single women were more interested in poaching an attached man rather than pursuing a single man. Interestingly, this indicates that single women are more interested in pursuing a man that is less available to them. As predicted, this gender difference in interest was not evident when the participants were in a committed relationship themselves.”
