Do some women prey on married men?

Question

Does anyone out there think that some women prey on men that ar married? Such as men working out of town away from their families or soeone they see out that is obvioulsy having difficult times with their spouse. Do you think they manipulate them into believing that they deserve better than their wife, by building up their ego and making them think that thier wife does not love or respect them the way that they should, and of course she will be everything that he will ever need from that point on? What makes women do this? Do they really think that there is commitment i their future. Don't get me wrong, I KNOW THE MAN IS ALSO AT FAULT!!!!! Just want to know why someone would choose to sleep with a married man. Is there no respect for fellow women. Do they not stop to think how they would feel? Just crious if anyone else knows women like this.

Answer 1

yes i absolutely do believe some women prey on married men. think they see something in the man that they would like to have, for financial emotional, sexual reasons. i believe they start out with being friends and if the man feels comfortable enough he may share bits and pieces of his life, and if he is having trouble in his marriage, that is when she sees her chance to get him to see she can give him more, be it more love, more understanding. than when she has tempted him and slept with him she works on him emotionally, doing everything right, stroking his ego with flattery, and pure adoration, so he thinks he doesn't love his wife anymore, and the other woman is pressing him hard to leave his wife, telling him she needs a commitment too, so he will leave his wife with no thought whatsoever about her feelings. she preys on him because she doesn't have the relationship or the financial help she wants, she sees a man who may be in a long term marriage, that has a few problems with his wife, and knows this man would treat her right, so she makes her move giving the husband all the sex and love he may not have been getting from the wife. so wives take heed and don't deny your husbands love, even if u are upset with them, as this is the way it happened in my marriage. not to blame this woman completely as he could have just said no to her, but she had alot to do with it, made him promises, and flattered him.

Answer 2

I think the other women are, in general, NOT after nor "preying" on married men. Sure, there are a few out there who do this, but in general no I do not believe single women are after married men.

Many ladies get lied to (I'm single), and then discover the truth later. Then feelings get in the way of better judgment. Still others get a different lie (We are in the middle of a divorce. She cheated on me.) and then discover that in fact they are happily married. Some men don't even bother to lie. (I'm out of town and want to have some fun.)

Many women who knowingly have sex with a married man, do not care about the wife. They are a distant concept and not a real person. Also, there is a good chance that these women have been cheated on themselves and can no longer see or feel a difference if it should matter anymore. Most are young, confused, and have a poor idea of what love and trust really entail.

In my youth, I had been on every side of the triangle. I've been cheated on, I've cheated, and I've been the other woman. To be honest, no side is easy and no side is guiltless.

Answer 3

Yes, some women do "prey" on married men. One reason is that some women are afraid to commit, so a married man is safe. Also, some women see themselves as the "savior" like you described--they make the man think that he deserves better. Also, some women see it as a competition, like if they get the man then the man has chosen her over his wife. Finally, I am convinced that some women believe a married man is a good catch because the woman knows that this man has the "ability" to commit and to get married. It's sort of the opposite of the first reason I gave. Other than that, I don't really know why some women do this.

Answer 4

YES, some women do prey on married men. The more successful or attractive women like to show their power over other men/women. There is no commitment on their part except dominating their partner and harrassing his wife. A vulnerable man is the soft target.

The psychology of such women is that they prefer to be in a partial relationship with a very successful or desirable man than have an exclusive relationship with an average man.

I think some men also do that to some women. It is mostly power politics of a different kind. See the movie "Disclosure". It is less about sex and more about power.

Answer 5

Ok ... I'm going to be completely honest here and say ... yes I've slept with a few married men ... it had nothing to do with stealing the men away from their wives ... falling in love with them ... boosting my ego ... or making myself feel superior ... it was mostly about the sex, the excitement, the whole no strings attached ... I was young 18, in the military - never experienced anything like it - was a virgin coming in ... thinking these were the days to enjoy life - everything about pleasure ... I got what I wanted & they got what they needed ... I didn't think about the other women or thier wives too much ... !

I figured if the guy was cheating on them to began with then he doesn't deserve to be married ... the few that I knew were married were either going through hard times or in a shitty relationship ... sounds horrible now ... and I've learned from my past ... and I can honestly put myself in their shoes now and say ... yeah it sucks to be on the other side ... I would die if I found out my love, my husband, my everything cheated on me ... it would break my heart ... I've matured so much and know what I did was wrong ... but I can't change the past ... only learn from it ... !

Answer 6

I think some women like the challenge of a married man, Its like Eve with the apple.. Although the man has to be weak to go for it. But that isn't what exactly your question was about. I do not feel there will be a long lasting commitment in the future with a man and a mistress. Eventually it will happen again or the women will get bored and move on to her next challenge.

Answer 7

I wouldn't say we prey on them! Anyway there are different reasons.The reason I done it when I was younger is ,I loved the fact that he had to go home everyday and he couldn't keep up with me.It has nothing to do with the wife personally.I never talked down on the wife, because nine times out of ten, you don't know the wife,and even so, why would you belittle the wife to impress the man?That's not player at all!!Some insane woman may think that one day he could really belong to her,but in all honesty; How ever you get your man that's how you lose him!!

Answer 8

Some women have no self-respect and therefore have to step all over other women to prove they are better. Sometimes it's about the man but sometimes it just about showing someone else up. What they don't realize is that they will get just as boring as the wife when they get married and pop out a couple of kids.

Also, some men are just creeps and need to see how many women they can have. For them it's a game. Frankly, it's sick, but the wives usually know about it and put up with it for money or whatever.

Answer 9

I'm sure there are some like that. My wife used to complain when I would leave the house without my ring because she thought I was looking for another woman, then I explained to her that if I was looking, I'd wear my ring, because I get hit on three times more and get three times as many responses from woman when I'm wearing the ring than when I'm not. I asked a girl why she's like that once, and she told me it's because I'm "safe." In other words, she likes to build me up knowing there's nothing I can do about it. It makes her feel good to get a raise out of a man, but she doesn't want to have to do anything about it. But if I did respond, she said she would feel resonsible and like she had to act on it.

Answer 10

Not all of us personally know a woman like this, but, come on, we ALL know they are out there. At the end of the day, of course, a full-grown man who isn't a halfwit, knows what his responsibilities are to whomever he has committed himself.. in marriage, or other serious relationship, and he has to share the blame for responding to a woman he clearly knows is deliberately seducing him. I don 't have one good thing to say about those "harpies" to seem to get their jollies trying to steal other women's men, but that seems to be how they're wired. You may as well ask what compels some people to climb mountains - just seems to be the way their brains are wired.
But I think there has to be some satisfaction in knowing that they really don't win in the end. My bet is most of them end up lonely and miserable - because once their seductive capabilities are gone (with age) all they are is an empty shell.
