Mixed Bag: You Give Love a Bad Name – the Conniving Females Edition Part 2

(continuing the saga of women who make us all look bad...) 

Opportunity Cost

Some girls in committed relationships eliminate their opportunity cost – by not losing any opportunities! While they’re with someone, they’re constantly scanning the field, putting feelers out, going on dates, even sleeping around.

Accrual-Based Accounting

Tell the nice boys she’d rather “save it” for marriage (perfect excuse to string them along without sex), then giving it all away with the bad boys. This method of deferred gratification works especially well with boys of heavy religious background. If you put a woman on a pedestal, she might just stay there and play with the other statues.

Economy of Scales

The intimate adventures of a little black dress as its owner rub up against different men. Guys: check for sweat stains – cavemen used their noses to stiff out promiscuity, and you might still have those senses in sleeper mode. That’s why men sometimes “just got a feeling she’s cheating” – their subconscious was picking up signs their civilized self couldn’t.

Signalling

Girls could create the illusion of having many options, thus encouraging the guys to compete and outbid each other. That’s why some men find out their dream girl is not so dreamy after he takes her home.
