People believe that they wouldn’t pursue someone who is already married.
A study shows that even the most saintly of us can be temped if it is right.
Research showed that high-quality partners are more attractive to people who believe they can’t find them. This was in contrast to the case when they think there is plenty of fish.
People believe that they wouldn’t pursue someone who is already married. Even the most devoted of us can be attracted to someone who is already in a relationship, according to a study.
Academics pointed out that prior studies focused solely on those characteristics which make someone more likely to “mate pokeach”.
However, this study shows that the environment can influence someone’s propensity of stealing their partner.
According to the study, those who felt there were no suitable partners started worrying more about being single.
The study, published in Journal of Sex Research, revealed that they felt more rivalry with their own sex and were therefore open to the possibility of taking someone else’s partner.
According to Nipissing University of Canada, the researchers concluded that poaching is a common mate strategy when ecological conditions are not favorable.
