Why you look more attractive when you're in a relationship

You may have unwittingly noticed that as soon as you start dating a girl, the interest of other women in your person increases dramatically. And this is a common phenomenon, so you shouldn't be surprised. There are several reasons why you seem more attractive when you're in a relationship.

Because of the coping effect of your partner's choices

Both men and women compete with each other when it comes to choosing a partner and building a relationship. Every man wants to find a worthy mate with whom he will be stable, comfortable and good.

It is the competitive environment that makes women look out for other men and perceive them as more attractive and desirable. This is the effect of copying the choice of partner.

A girl may think: “This guy is good-looking, but he has a girlfriend. He's got something for her, so he's a worthy candidate for a relationship.”

Of course, not in all cases such conclusions are correct, because no one can look into someone else's family and find out what is really going on there. Still, it is because of this effect that you might have noticed that when you walk with your girlfriend, many women look at you with interest and some envy in their gaze.

Because of the fact that you look happy

Loneliness can bring a lot of unpleasant emotions that are reflected in your outlook on life, facial expressions and gestures. It can make you look less attractive, especially if you're trying to cope with intense sadness or insecurity on the back of your latest breakup.

But when you get a girlfriend, you look strong, happy and content with life. And who doesn't like smiling and positive people who seem to always be in a great mood?

Maybe that's the reason why other women start paying attention to you when you're in a relationship. By the way, you can achieve the same effect even if you don't have a girlfriend - you need to work on developing a positive outlook on life.

Because you seem inaccessible

As a rule, people consider more valuable what they cannot possess. And this effect applies not only to real estate, cars and valuable things, but also to potential partners.

Girls who rejected you or did not pay any attention to you may suddenly find you more attractive and desirable after you have found the one. After all, you are now the “forbidden fruit” for them, which is known to be sweet.

The funny thing is that in case you break up with your girlfriend, from their interest may not remain a trace. As absurd as it may sound, this is how it works.

In addition, many girls specifically “hunt” for busy guys, because only in them see a set of qualities that they find attractive: responsibility, ability to take care and so on. But, when they get what they want, their rose-colored glasses break the glass inside and they realize that the unavailable and desirable guy is not as cool and perfect as they imagined in their head.

Because you're taking better care of yourself

When you meet a girl you like, you want to make a good impression on her and also win her heart. And this is reflected in the way you take care of yourself and look.

You put on your best shirts when you go on a date to a restaurant, you watch your hair and facial hair, you don't forget to wear perfume. And you also become the most gallant gentleman in the world, who will open the door, and pull up a chair, and a compliment extra time will say.

Of course, your behavior won't go unnoticed by other women. They might think, “Here he is - the best man on earth, and unfortunately, he's dating someone else.” But that won't stop them from either staring at you intently all evening, jealous of your girlfriend, or texting you to see if your intentions are serious enough to steal you away from the one you're spending time with.

It's worth noting that being in a long relationship also makes you look better. The girl now and then may casually suggest that you buy new clothes or try a new style that will transform you. You give in to the entreaties, agree to the change and actually look better than before, which increases your attractiveness in the eyes of the women around you.

Because self-awareness improves, you grow as a person

Falling in love can lead to increased self-awareness, that is, an understanding of oneself, one's needs and role in life. This is reflected in self-esteem and self-confidence, which cannot go unnoticed by the people around you.

You become more relaxed and determined, as well as comfortable in various social situations. It is worth noting that this happens only if you are in a healthy relationship where there is love and support. So, it is your behavior and inner attitude from the improved level of self-awareness and make you more attractive in the eyes of other women.

Plus, the girl you date can influence your personal growth. You develop positive qualities, strive for more, set goals and achieve them - many women find a special charm in such behavior, so they think you deserve their attention.

Because you seem “safe”

Most girls are afraid of meeting narcissists, abusers, manipulators and other toxic characters who can ruin their lives.

Noticing some hottie walking under your arm and glowing with happiness, they unwittingly feel that you are not only attractive in appearance, but also “safe” when it comes to relationship behavior. Your girlfriend seems content with her life, which means that in many ways, you are the one contributing to this.

Of course, many women are misguided when they reason in this way. It's not uncommon for victims of toxic guys to look happy at first, and then cry bitterly when they get out of an unhealthy relationship. You can never guess who the person next to you will turn out to be until you get to know them better.
