Why every single woman wants to date a married man: Jana Hocking

Something caught my attention this week that revealed a deep, dark and shameful secret about single women.Many of us – okay, let me clarify, not me (for once) – seem to be like a bull to a red rag when it comes to married men.It appears that a wedding ring is seen as a challenge by many.Shame, shame, shameful behavior.Don’t believe me?
