You are correct about being in a relationship seems to make a man more attractive.
A man playing with his children seems more attractive too.
A man with female friends - seems more attractive.
As does a man who has a pet and seems to enjoy it.
I think women find men attractive when they are demonstrating an ability to have a connection with other humans or animals. There are SO many men who seem to have little interaction with anything other than other single men who sometimes (not all) seem like a pack of guys just looking to find a girl for regular sex.
Seeing a man having a more personal social connection - he looks attractive to women who are seeking a man for something more than this weeks hookup. The pack of single guys a Ruby Tuesdays grading the waitresses? Hmm, not so much.
