Imagine opening the ‘wedding announcements’ section of the newspaper and reading this:
“The happy couple met through the bride’s boyfriend at the time, who is the groom’s former best friend. It took him 4 months to lure her away.â€
You’ll probably never see something like that, but chances are - it’s close to the truth.
According to Psychology Today, about 20 percent of long-term relationships begin when one or both partners are involved with someone else. Psychologists call this “mate poaching†– and it happens among all age groups.
And not only that...researchers polled 16,000 people in 53 different countries and found that it happens across cultures and continents, too.
In North America, 62 percent of men and 40 percent of women say they’ve tried to steal someone else’s sweetheart. And 47 percent of men and 32 percent of women say they’ve been stolen themselves. And among married couples, here’s how it breaks down:
* 5% say they BOTH left previous partners to be with their current spouse.
* 18% of married men lured their spouse away from another man.
* And 11% of married women lured their husband away from someone else.
Experts say certain personality traits are common among poachers and poachees, no matter which part of the world they live in. Most describe themselves as open to new experiences, attractive and willing to talk frankly about intimacy. They also have a high self-esteem, but aren’t usually trustworthy. So now the question – can these relationships last a lifetime? According to psychologist Arlene Goldberg, they’re usually unstable. The odds are high that a cheater will cheat again.
And also....
So why do women cheat? Dr. Barash calls it the “dark side of feminismâ€. Women today are raised to believe they can have everything men can have. They also behave just as badly as men do.
So just some things to consider when you guys are going for all of the pussy that you can get and having fuck buddies. You shouldn't be at all surprised when all the girls that you know are acting like skanks and hoes. Not all guys and girls behave like this, but for those of us that don't... we can easily spot a man-slut from a mile away. Have your cheap thrills now, but no decent girl will want you later on. And enough with YOUR double standards of it being cool for the guys to be the playas, but not for the girls. It's really uncool for both sexes to be such sluts and enough with perpetuating your local dramas. Keep it in your pants more often!
