Sparkly engagement rings use to be the symbol of ultimate security for the single gal. However, a dangerous class of woman is on the rise- those who do not consider a wedding band a hindrance. They crave the excitement of a passionate romance, but they want an added challenge. In other words: they want your man and aren’t the least bit afraid to go after him.
Chasing married men is not a new trend. If the tabloids are correct, it’s also a habit largely formed in Hollywood. Latest being the shamed golfer, Tiger Woods and his countless partners, and the tragic tryst between Sandra Bullock’s soon to be ex with the not so classy tattooed stripper.
In a recent study, bachelorettes were divided into two groups and were shown a photograph of an attractive male. One group was told he was single, the other that he was taken. Then the women were asked how likely they were to pursue him. Only when the women believed he was committed did the interest in him skyrocket.
Research shows that in a society where women are economically powerful, the more sexually and socially aggressive they are. With more men out of work than women nowadays, we are seeing women become bolder in every aspect of their lives.
There is even a chemical explanation for why women pursue men that are in relationships. Any block to romantic love drives up dopamine (a brain chemical associated with love and reward.) That brain rush may be addictive. For women who base their self-esteem on looks and romantic status, that brain rush can be an intoxicating and driving force. She, in turn, views committed men with rose-colored glasses.
But this high doesn’t last very long. That’s because men are often happy to have a little sex on the side, but are rarely willing to leave their wives or girlfriends. Problem being, these female poachers who are expending all of their energy on men in relationships, are overlooking potential guys who could be compatible long-term mates.
Men in relationships have already proven their willingness to commit, which is a major draw to these types of women. What they don’t consider, is the household they may disrupt and the damage it will cause to a marriage.
We all have traits that our man could live without. We know this. Some laugh it off while others play it up. Whether you’re happily involved or just playing the field, there are a few things you should keep in the back of your mind at all times. The descriptions below highlight things that some women do on a daily basis. You know who you are. And these are the things that men hate about you:
It happens to the best of us. We have a guy, or we break up, we see another guy, yadda yadda yadda. You know the story. If you’ve learned from your mistakes like most of us have, you know the grass is not always greener on the other side.
