irc333 Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 I was wondering about this, I hear this more often with women than men (but I could be wrong, men might do it just as much, but I think are more likley to be UNattached for a while between women, while women tend to start relationships with other men, before ending the initial one) The reason I ask this, is because I've talked to women that sometimes admit to it (either by accident or somehow give themselves away). For one, I was at a social event with some people. I started talking to this woman, and she was pretty open and forward about her intentions, she said she attends speed dating events and other singles mixers, and she has a boyfriend, he just won't marry her, and thus her reason for sniffing around. Apparently, she's as of yet to find anyone, so is keeping around because he does her yard work and is "good in the sack" Hve to appreciate her honesty I suppose. Then one evening, there was this female friend that is attending a singles cruise without her boyfriend. This is an event that's a few months down the road though. She even started attending our singles events because her boyfriend is on the nightshift now, so now she can get out more. I've similar such instances where women start "sniffin' around, claiming they are socializing, but they're intentions are something completely different. That being said, have you found your friends both male or female giving indicators of behavior that seem to be questionable when they start sniffing around for NEW prospects when they're already seriously involved?
Darren Taylor Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Women monkey branch more than men. They're too cowardly to end the relationship they're currently in, so they wait for the next branch to come and they swing to it.
vsmini Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 People who do this - men and women - that swing from relationship to relationship are insecure and afraid to be on their own. It's very common and I think it might be more common with women. I personally feel there needs to be a grace period between relationships so you can take the time to reflect on what went wrong and learn from it. As with getting ready to break up or cheating is concerned - the first red flag is distance. When they start to distance themselves from you and are not open about why....it could mean they're busy "shopping"
Rinnix Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 I notice that some women fear being alone, so they hold on until something better comes along. I have had numerous friends who have done this. Just stick around to keep occupied till they can "upgrade". If I was unhappy, Id just leave. I don't believe in sneaking around. Id rather be single then stuck in an unhappy relationship.
