Temptation of the forbidden - Some people perceive married couples as the forbidden temptation since they are already committed and hence unavailable.

Interestingly, there’s an excitement that stems from the fact that such people are already taken, and attracting them gives the “hunter” a sense of power and accomplishment.

Furthermore, the challenge and the risk involved in conquering the prey makes the entire game even more exciting. It is no secret that most single women have an obsession for married men owing to the human trait of wanting what one cannot have.

On the other hand, some hunters go for one’s confidence, experience in intimate matters and authority. And even though it’s utterly unjustifiable and shameless, some people find a sense of accomplishment in bedding someone else’s man or woman.

This has a lot to do with the satisfaction that comes with breaking rules and doing things the wrong way without being caught. In other words, some people seek their sexual highs through cheating because of the excitement that comes with getting away with something taboo.

The need to win — Irrespective of the fact that today’s women are liberated, many still continue to perceive the married man as having a certain type of security. Cynical as it may sound, such women tend to think that married men will cater for their emotional needs better than any single man out there.

On the other hand, some women perceive having an affair with a married man as some sort of triumph over the wife. Although this signifies a lack of self-respect and self-worth, such women get a feeling of accomplishment and triumph over the legitimate woman.

This perception could not be further from the truth as it is obvious that the married man (trophy) is already taken. Unfortunately, such women get a non-existent feeling that they are extra special and better than the man’s legal wife. This again clearly shows that such women are only living in a fantasy world.

Additionally, some women go after the married man because they are dying to get what the legitimate woman has. In most cases, women do this maliciously to try and get back at the married man’s wife for reasons better known to them.

Security reasons — Although not in the least justifiable, some women claim to go for married men saying that they have all the qualities a woman would look for in a man.

On the other hand, many young men turn to married women for security reasons. It’s not surprising to find young men nowadays pursuing married women because they are financially stable.

Therefore, most hunters will pursue such people so that their financial needs may be taken care of. It’s no news that many young men out there are also dating older married women because their financial needs are being catered for by these women.

Sadly, such “gold diggers” prefer being kept by women who already have families as long as their material needs are fulfilled. The same goes for a lot of young women out there. Nowadays, many young girls have no qualms about dating married men as long as their rent is being paid and the cash is flowing.

It’s unfortunate that these are the reasons that contribute to the ruining of many marriages. Such women also need to keep in mind that anything immoral and short of unalloyed commitment between a man and a woman hardly ever lasts.

So next time you decide to date a married man for his money, think hard about whether it’s really worth it.

    This generation has not bred marrying materials as in the men whom I see nowadays ran away from responsibilities while ladies are too independent. The responsible ones are married thus being endangered species.

    I strongly believe that it is wrong for single ladies to snatch people's husband. Those doing this should be prepared for the same when they eventually get married.

    Temptation, sin, AIDS and finally death. Either way all wrong roads/short cuts lead to death eveentually, and there is no turning back. Personally I have lost single and married relatives due to these bad mariages, it is not worth living or dying for illegal love. So many innocent kids get bruised permanently besides early death.
