Why do all you guys think that "attached" women get asked out a lot.  I don't
think that this is true.  If a women is "attached" then when she is in
situations where she might be asked out (social situations) she will probably
be with her partner (or what ever you call them).  I think this will tend
to lessen her chances of being asked out.

A question to all the women out there:  Do you get asked out a lot when you
are serious involved with someone?  (maybe I'm wrong)
