I simply don't get it. And to think I thought I was smart enough to understand the basic truth of life. But this is DEFINITELY something that I couldn't seem to comprehend: WHY ARE THERE WOMEN WHO GOES AFTER ANOTHER WOMAN'S MAN? Maybe I simply couldn't understand because I don't know what it's like to be one. I mean, come on, I am a woman and I have deepest respect for my fellow women that's why I wouldn't do such a thing. It's disgraceful, humiliating, disrespectful, and above all, PATHETIC! Why can't other women find their own man? Why is this woman ALWAYS running after my boyfriend? You know what? I am really about to go out of my way and tell to this woman's face that she can have my boyfriend if she wants to. After all, it seemed like she can't find any man on her own that I feel sorry for her. Well, if you ask me I can always find myself a man. And I don't have to go to various lengths or heights just to get one. And with my ever-sincere respect for all women, I will never, ever, run after somebody else's man. Most of all, I wouldn't want to be called "DESPERATE".

I think it is selfishness in a way and maybe even extra excitement for some the thought of getting something forbidden even for a short time, and maybe sometimes it might be just an overwhelming feeling of love that a woman can't resist...but i think it all comes down to self...

I'd say she was ballsy coming after my man lol. In all seriousness, I'm not sure why women find the need to come after another's man. It doesn't make sense, other than they can't get one of their own. Of course if that ever occured in my relationship I'd be the type of woman to go and have a chat with this other woman. If you have a good man though I wouldn't worry about it. I don't worry about the flirts myself. They can look all they want, I know where my husband will be at the end of the night. Namaste-Anora

Exactly! But then again, I think if I talk to the woman I might just give her the benefit of satisfaction. Because I know she is really trying to annoy me. Oh well, I've told my man I'd give him to her. The things she does is just so irritating!! LOL!!!

I have had that happen to me twice in my life. Both were friends of mine who took away my boyfriend. A man cannot help it, he gets extra attention and there is a beautiful women with open legs, it is normal he will jump at it. But, I don't understand women, who take away an other women s boyfriend. Especially when women are friends of each other. I will never say never, but I don't suspect I would purposely take away someone else s man. I think when a women does that, she will never be able to trust this man. He has left a women before, for something better, he will do it again. This time she will be the victim! Her own fault. Take care, have a nice day!

I went through this years ago with my ex husband. He was a quite an attractive man and he appealed to women quite a bit. There was one who was the daughter of his mother's friend and she blatantly went after my man and told me to my face she was going to have him. We weren't married then and I was young and insecure and I always made sure I was wherever she was going to be. Sometimes he would call me to let me know she was there and would I please come over! What did stupid me do? I would run right over there!As you can imagine, because we all have our limits I got fed up with checking up on him and one day I threw m hands up and told her, "Fine you can have him, if you are pathetic enough to want to steal someone else's boyfriend and if he is lousy enough to allow you to do it, hope you will be very happy together!" He did eventually tell her to go away because although he had been enjoying two women’s' attention he decided that he might just lose me if this went on for much longer. I don't know why some women do this. For some it’s a continuous pattern. Perhaps it's to prove they can steal a man or they may just be afraid of commitment with a 'safe' man or, as you say they are just desperate. Good on you for not putting up with it!

I think they have a low self esteem. I think they think if they can take a man away from there love then that means that they are better or important or something. Of course that is dumb but I think that is why. It makes them feel important about themselves when they should feel low. I don't understand why women would do this to other women also. I think it is just shady.
