Okay, so here's the realization...
I figured it doesn't really matter if I tell people... especially in a very generic sort of way. So here goes:
Whilst down in Valdosta, I met a friend of a friend. After meeting said friend (need I say the friend was female?) I decided that she would be someone I would be interested in. So, later, I asked about her. The response was, "she has a boyfriend". Okay, so with that touch of back-story, here we go. My friend pointed out that I always seem to go for ones who are (for all intents and purposes) taken.
Later, I mentioned this phenomenon to another friend, and they totally agreed. Now here's the kicker, we realized that I do this even before finding out if she has a boyfriend.
Now... Committee... I present this to you. Why do I do this? What would cause me to do this? Also, any other comments or remarks will be eagerly received.

Well, I have no more wisdom to add to what I said the other night, which come to think of it, wasn't wise at all.
It's just a coincidence. Unless you think you might have some sort of esp that tells your subconcious when a girl is involved. And that seems unlikely. And if it is true I'm gonna be pissed because I've been screwing around with toxic waste for years trying to get super-powers and it's never worked - and then you just kinda fall into them? That's crap.
Anyway... back to the issue at hand. I don't think you probably have any sort of emotional issues that draw you to involved women. Some douche-bag armchair psychologist might say that you're purposefully setting yourself up for failure, but I don't believe that.
It's possible that involved girls are more secure, and therefore more flirty, and therefore tend to attract your attention more easily. Most likely, it's just the luck of the draw, though. There's a lot of involved girls out there. But I know of at least three girls that you've liked, or at least been drawn to that weren't involved. So I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about the pattern you think you're seeing.
But that's just me. And I'm kind of stupid.
People who are 'taken' - men, women, doesn't matter - are always more attractive. Its human nature, not 'Scott Glascock' nature.
Probably has something to do with their being more settled.
Thanks all!
I guess I was worried too much about the armchair psychologists out there. I really just didn't understand it.
M.B.G. - yeah... you are pretty useless.
Patch - I can only think of one girl since I've known you. And that one was obvious since I posted all about it practically every other hour.
jeff - bummer, dude. I know how you feel (obviously).
scott - thanks, man. At least I'm normal in one way. ;)
1 - The one you're thinking of
2 - One that you might not have ever said out loud to me but was pretty obvious.
3 - That friend of Jennifer's that got your attention. I know you didn't "fall for her" or anything like that but I was counting her because you were attracted to her and she didn't have a boyfriend.
Wow. Y'know, I really can't think of the other two you're talking about. :( If you get a chance, send me a quick email with the details.
3 was the friend of Jennifer's that you talked to at one of those Fuel things. Remember? We talked about it in your comment section. I'll email you about number 2. It's my mom and I don't want to make her feel weird if she reads it here.
Oops.
Brain hurting... remembering... vagueness. I recall that happening, but nothing more than that it happened. I can't remember her name, or what she looked like or anything.
Oh, tell your mom I'm sorry I haven't called... I figured it'd be better this way... a clean break.
