@mackenmurphy: Rate his work wife 0-3 😂 I’m reading this year’s Oxford handbook of evolutionary psychology & romantic relationships, here are three research-backed mate-poaching strategies. You’ll wanna be able to recognize these if you’re in a relationship. First, mate-poachers create the illusion of a mate value imbalance. They subtly boost their target up and put down their target’s partner, deluding their target into thinking that they’re out of their own partners league. “She doesn’t appreciate you enough.” You know the vibe. Second, a mate poacher will display desirable traits to their target. This varies but female mate-poachers tend to flaunt youth, beauty and physical accessibility, male mate-poachers tend to advertise emotional accessibility, wealth, dominance and masculinity. Finally, and this is the most insidious and counterintuitive, a mate-poacher will befriend the partner of their target. This grants the poacher more excuse to see their target, more power to destabilize the relationship as they can disrupt both sides, and social cover; after all, if accused, they can claim they wouldn't. #workwife #cheating #relationshipadvice #Love #psychology

Can a mate really be poached i.e. are they powerless & have no agency or do they choose to leave coz they had settled & always wanted to 'upgrade'?

Almost everyone has done one or the other subconsciously. What are the success rates of relationships obtained through “mate poaching”?

Last one hits hard. There's always that one person who tries too hard to be your friend while eyeing your partner.

nah. they don’t work that hard. there’s already a weakness in the relationship. someone in relationship has a minor signal of discontent or attraction
