that most 'married' men broadcast a sense of themselves that isn't on the prowl, isn't sexually intimidating (and the same could be said of gay men with regard to women). While men who are available, even eager for female attention can broadcast some fairly uninviting vibes.

Sometimes a woman just wants to have a nice conversation with a guy, but the fear, the baggage of whether this is going to lead to some sort of unwelcome sexual attention can be inhibiting.

In short, people are funny.
