Who's Chasing Whom?

Women: do you have a man? If you do, better beware. Chances are that some lone female has her eye on him. A new study provides evidence for what many have long suspected: that single women are much keener on pursuing a man who's already taken than a singleton.

The single women really liked the guy when he was taken,' says Melissa Burkley of Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, who conducted the 'mate-poaching' study with her colleague Jessica Parker. The most striking result was in the responses of single women. Offered a single man, 59 per cent were interested in pursuing a relationship. But when he was attached, 90 per cent said they were up for the chase.
