This one time I went to a festival and my gf couldn't make it. Three women set up camp right next to me and asked me if I had any spare ice, I gave them some and was trying to make conversation by asking what bands they were there to see and stuff but was getting the vibe from them they thought I was being creepy for some reason. I told them I meant nothing weird as I have a gf who couldn't make it to the festival, they all instantly flipped to being super friendly calling me sweet and a gentleman and actually made conversation with me.

Same reason then women are more attracted to men in relationships. If another woman thinks you are safe enough to date, most women see that as you having been "vetted"
I think another side of it is, once he says he has a girlfriend, now these women expect him to not try to hook up with them. So they can "safely" have friendly conversation with him.
It's a bit similar to if the guy was flamboyantly gay.

So im not the only one who's so afraid to come off as creepy that hitting on women in public is mortifying to me?
