Looking over his shoulder...

It puzzles me at times when some people who seem to be content in a relationship, yet still pursue others. As if they're in a race to conquers as many as they can.

I keep seeing these issues happening just about everywhere I turn my head. What drove me to write about it is that I see it growing at an alarming levels. It feels like people in relationships appear to be continuously in an attempt to prove that they're better than other people.

Sure, they would justify as, "when push comes to shove, they won't do anything" but why even get there? Why even open the window to such ideas and opportunities?

In the past, I remember how some older women used to sit around and talk about how a guy was picking on a girl. And the first thing they would say, "She must have given him an eye (or a face)" as an indication to someone giving the approval "nudge" that they're "approachable"

Just like animals in heat produce an odor, a look, a color, a behavior to attract possible mates. So do human beings. They are attracted to gestures, movements, smiles or behavior. These gestures might easily be misinterpreted.

It's the job of everyone to make sure that others are completely aware that they don't have the least amount interest in finding additional mates. Sometimes, even people who make it very clear, they get misunderstood at times.

But there are those who're extremely professional in playing around the edges. They enjoy the game, the interest, the temptation and sometimes feeling that they've risen above the temptation. I don't know what kind of satisfaction does that hold, but it's one sick unfair game...
