The competitive spirit, damn coloured, you may have hit on it. A definite possibility. Younger days, I, we and others would go on the prowl, looking for girls of course, what else would we do ? My one buddy, I noticed how he operated, he was a master at it. I was respected in the field, being average looking I could walk up to an absolute knockout and strike up a convo as if she were a dude sitting on my couch with a beer. But this guy was the master. We are talking about a lankey looking hillbilly with crooked teeth and a gut sticking out, but he could just about "get" any chick he wanted. One day I told him "You think of this like a football game don't you ?". He thought for a second and said yes, exactly. What indeed impels people to greatness ? The desire of course. My buddy never purposely went after Women who were married or hooked, or seriously shacked with someone. It happened, but it was just by the numbers. As far as the married thing, well ever shoot darts ? I never shoot straight cricket, I always shoot rotation, which means 20s first, then 19s, no luck involved. When I shoot pool it's call your shots, no dumb luck involved. Perhaps it is considered a bigger prize ? Getting a married guy, if you think about it, you might just think "Well this one IS good enough for somebody else". You remember the old derogatory hillbilly joke, about the virgin "well if she ain't good enough for her own family she ain't good enough for our's". Same mentality, just in a different scope. So in a way, this could just be a slightly misdirected form of the desire to excel. I must admit I hadn't considered that. T
