Over the few years of being an adult man I have noticed that women who are engaged in romantic relationships with men, regardless they are married, dating, or FWB tend not to care so much if the man sees other women so as long as he treats her as the queen or the highest female of his stable. It's almost as if the female is fighting for a "rank."
I know it's not ALL women but I'm speaking in general terms and I know many women get upset/frustrated but it's never at the point where he gets dumped on the spot.
The only women who are different regarding this issue are the ones with religious training as they uphold monogamous, marriage values to the fullest extent; well, at least the ones who actually practice what they preach.
So getting to the point, I have been thinking about how in other cultures men have multiple wives or here in the states wealthy/prominent men usually have multiple mistresses and so forth. So ladies, what do you really think about a man who has a stable of females around him?
Seriously, do you like a man MORE if you see that all these women want him? Do you like to compete with other women over a standout male?

I even avoid men who are TOO wealthy, or have aspirations for public office, because they seek power - not love.
I do like a guy to have a good mix of male and female friends.
But it REALLY bugs me when ALL of his female friends are exes/people he's slept with. That says to me he's incapable of liking a woman for anything other than one thing.

That's very interesting. I don't consider myself religious at all, and wouldn't tolerate being "one of many" (or one of two) in any sort of serious relationship, and I can't think off the top of my head of any people I know who would.
*shrug* Maybe it was how and where I was raised?

If it works for all parties involved, then cool. Who am I to judge how other people want to live their lives?

There's a difference here between wanting a man that a lot of women want, and being one of many women *with* that man, no?
To answer the questions though, I like whom I like, and his having a horde of women "after him" doesn't up his attractiveness quotient with me. And, no, I don't like to compete with others for someone's affection. It seems like an awful waste of energy to me.

So its all his fault? The women had no say in this? And how do you know its only one thing they liked each other for?
BTW, what are YOUR interests in him? Honorable, I hope.
Where's Redisca when I have new batteries in my hypocrisy meter?
