The instinct of a huntress.
Since ancient times, a woman has chosen the best man - strong, successful, worthy. If he already belongs to another, this automatically confirms his value. It means that he has already passed the "selection" and proven his worth as a partner. In this sense, competition is just a way to make sure that the choice is correct.
The desire to feel superior.
A woman, seeking the favor of a busy man, experiences not only excitement, but also a sense of triumph. This confirms her attractiveness, strength, power over men's desires. She defeats not only him, but also the one who was with him before.
Forbidden fruit is sweet.
The more obstacles, the higher the interest. Forbidden relationships are always accompanied by vivid emotions, adrenaline and a sense of exclusivity. A man in a relationship seems mysterious, inaccessible, and therefore even more desirable.
Self-affirmation through temptation.
Some women see the conquest of a busy man as confirmation of their feminine power. They feel attractive, special, more valuable than their rivals. This is a way to tell the world (and themselves): "I am the best!"
The illusion of an ideal man.
When a man is already in a relationship, a woman sees him only from the best side. She does not know about his everyday habits, shortcomings, weaknesses. In her eyes, he remains perfect, because inaccessibility gives rise to idealization.
Destruction of illusions.
But what happens next? Victory achieved at the cost of destroying other people's relationships does not always bring happiness. The man who was "conquered" may not be what he seemed at first. And the feeling of triumph gradually gives way to doubts: if he left one, will he ever leave me?
The real victory is to be the only one.
A woman's power is not in winning a man away from another, but in being the one he himself strives for. True victory is not in rivalry, but in creating love based on trust, sincerity and choosing each other without games and manipulation. Nadya.
