Why You Should Lie About Being Married

[drscott]

I can remember some controversy here about partnered men claiming to be single to pick up strangers. But in my experience (and here's the research backing me up) you're better off claiming to be partnered, which influences strangers to believe you are more reliable and desirable. And you most likely are!

So if you're single, lie and claim you are married. Win! It also makes detaching yourself from your admirers ever so much easier.

I dunno. It's true people appearing to have a good time with others look more attractive, but OTOH, I usually feel like I would be intruding to try to break into a group conversation, so I tend to go try to talk to someone by themselves looking a bit lost.

you also seem to have a drive to shelter and protect "lost little boys" (aka. men who are still emotionally lost/young/hurting)

at least, that's what I get from what I've read of your journal thus far.
