A recent study indicates that single women are significantly more attracted to married men than to those who are single. Here’s Petulia Larkin, a 48-year-old lecturer from Bexley, Kent, sharing her reasons for never pursuing an unmarried man.
Just days before Christmas, I went out on a date with my partner Peter, a 52-year-old businessman who is truly lovely, kind, and generous.
Over a bottle of wine, we savored a romantic dinner while discussing our Christmas plans. I was overjoyed when Peter surprised me with a present: a stunning pair of diamond earrings.
That night, we cozied up together in bed like any happy couple would. However, the next morning, I awoke to find the bed empty, as Peter had quietly left in the early hours to drive two hours back home to assist his wife in wrapping gifts for their children and preparing stockings.
In the meantime, I made myself comfortable and watched a film, quite happy to spend Christmas alone.
Naturally, many women might question how I can feel content playing second fiddle to a wife and children during such a momentous day…or even on any day of the year.
However, from my perspective, being a mistress allows me to enjoy the benefits of a relationship without the complications or stress that come with being a complaining wife…which, let’s be honest, can happen to anyone.
I take great pleasure in being a mistress, and as long as the wives remain unaware, I plan to continue this way for as long as it brings me joy. In fact, I believe more women should consider it.
So, it didn’t come as a shock to me to hear last week about new findings regarding ‘mate-poaching’ that suggest our perceptions of attractiveness are influenced by others. The research revealed that single women find married men appealing because their marital status serves as a ‘stamp of approval’ from another woman.
Personally, I have always found married men to be more attractive than those who are single. They tend to be better lovers, more attentive, more mature, and they have a clear understanding of what they want from a relationship.
Having been happily married for 25 years, Peter must be doing something right. He clearly adores his children, and his face lights up when he mentions them. While he doesn’t speak much about his wife when he’s with me, I see a caring, loving man who provides for his family, and really, what’s not to appreciate about that?
