Anyone can be "untaken"
 
Me and a female friend were having a discussion about women and the dating scene, when i was saying, "Sometimes, you really don't want to home wreck yet you kind of do. "

She replies with this:

"any girl can be untaken." that was kinda interesting comment.

Any girls want to chime or someone that has experience or just general discussion.

Same goes for men. Any guy can suddenly become "untaken" if he finds something better. I think it all depends on the person and whether they're happy in their current relationship or not. If they're not happy, there's a higher chance they'll become "untaken" for the right person.

something containing the word douchebag is a good response.

anyone can be a "douchebag"

How about, "Douchebags don't have morals."

Or the phenomenon called: Trading Up.

Grandmaster TSE 11-17-2009 12:35 PM

well untaken could mean they break up
doesn't necessary mean that someone has to come in and break the couple up

seriously, if i was ever in a relatinoship, i wouldn't trade up, cause by the time i'm dating a girl to be calling my gf, she's the only one that i want.

Sigh, lets try this again...

There is that. Or maybe they think they can't do any better. Low self-esteem could also play a part, and then when that hottie comes up to them, suddenly there's something better on their plate and they don't want to stick around with what they have.

Also some people stay with their SO even if they don't want to because of certain circumstances.

Or you can not over analyze and consider something called break up. Bam untaken

Ding ding ding! We have a winner! :D See that with assloads of girls (mostly Asian, go figure :rolleyes:). It's seriously lame, but the ones with really low self-esteem generally suck and/or are boring as hell anyways, so why would you want that? :thumbsup:

My buddy always had a philosophy: anyone without a ring is fair game. :D It's true, if they like you more than their current SO, they WILL break it off and jump ship, or "trade up." I must admit, his words have definitely held true as I started noticing the actions of people around me over the years. All's fair in love and war. Personally I would never wreck an engaged couple though, that's just wrong in my books.

Ever heard the saying "If there's no ring on the finger..."

Like slammer's buddy said.

+1

Depends on the person though. Some get into relationships and are constantly looking for somebody to "upgrade" to and they just use the current relationship as a way of having something in the present time. Some will look to relationships as a commitment thing and the thought of trading up will never even come up.
