Through the course of an average woman's love life, she will have been attracted to a
man who is already taken. Despite this, the majority of women respect the fidelity of
the man's existing relationship, and steer clear of luring them away from their wife.
However, a small number of women will actively seek a relationship with that man,
despite the fact that he is already dedicated to someone else.
"Mate poaching" is a phrase that describes the act of trying to steal someone else's
partner. According to a study published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology,
around 90% of women would actively try to poach a man if they believed that he was
their dream mate, regardless of his relationship status.
Websites like AshleyMadison.com
actively encourage women to engage in sexual liaisons with men who are already
married. Such websites feed the fetishes of those who get kicks out of
extramarital liaisons and sleeping with other peoples' partners.
So, why do some women want to poach their sisters' mates? One argument states that the
excitement of an affair lets them experience a life that is a little less ordinary.
Another school of thought is that men who are having affairs tend to bestow their
mistresses with gifts; what woman wouldn't like that?
The majority of women who mate poach do not need a man, but they still seek the comfort
of a committed relationship. Here are three explanations for the behaviour of these women:
Women develop low self-esteem for many reasons. Some may have been in an abusive relationship,
they may have attracted a string of serial cheaters, or they may have had a poor relationship
with their father. These women often do not see themselves as being suitable 'wife material'
and therefore seek a relationship role that could never reach that stage. They may also seek
a man who is already committed, as doing so automatically places them in the position of
someone who cannot get hurt.
Some women simply love to be in control, and entering into a relationship with a married man
can act as the ultimate form of dominance. The idea of being able to take someone else's man
affirms to women that they are prettier than their beau's partner, and it also gives them a
sense of omnipotence due to being able to break something up.
Sex addiction isn't something that is only a characteristic of the Russel Brands of this world.
Women suffer from it too, and the more thrilling the sex, the better. Sleeping with a married
man naturally makes sex quite thrilling, and it is a habit that they will find hard to break
free from. It is often the case that sex addicts require therapy to say goodbye to their
problem.
