Being a wedding guest doesn't guarantee you'll have suitors falling over you left and right, a la Kristen Bell in When in Rome. But there's a reason wedding hookups are a common movie plot: they are a prime place to get real-life action.

As if single women were not stigmatized enough, researchers at Oklahoma State University, likening single women to certain species of "mate-poaching" birds and fish, claim that a study they conducted reveals that single women are more likely to pursue men who are taken than single.
Melissa Burkley, who conducted the study with her colleague Jessica Parker, told 184 heterosexual university student participants they would be involved in a study on sexual attraction.
