...Beeeeeecause you had a partner and thus they would've gotten upset that some guy was hitting on their boyfriend and then I would've been in the shit pile?

Like, not many people are down with that kinda thing going on near them. I'd know. One time I tried to hit on some chick who had a boyfriend. Woke up the next morning in a river with one of my worst enemies going 'Oh, me thought you were dead.' Then I had to kick his ass to get my wallet back.
