Poll: Would you ever pursue someone who is taken?

[Robby Foxfur]

No but I would chase them if they were kidnapped which is what i thought of when you said taken.

 

[Todd Ralph]

Yes yes yes and oh yes yes

If yournot gOodenough to keep her then you don't deserve her. Man is greedy and it's a constant fight for resources.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

No, never, not under any circumstances. Why? Because I'm not a douchebag that's why. I don't care if the other guy is a douchebag, I'm not going to sink to that level. If that's the only way a girl'd notice me than she's not my type anyway.

EDIT:

No, mostly because it's the honourable, polite, and generally right thing to do. I see people saying they would because they're no reason not to and think "why whould anyone do that to their fellow man?" If a girl is in a relationship she's out of bounds.
As always there are exceptional cases where it is acceptable but in general I have nothing but comtempt for men that actively seek to steal another man's partner.

I like the way you think. I cannot imagine what any of those exceptional cases would be, but generally I like what you said. Too bad Honour is such a rare thing these days.

If 2 and a half men has taught me anything, which it probably hasn't, it's that honorable men yank it like monkeys in mago trees.

Generally speaking.

And we're taking our social standards from half-baked sit coms, are we?

I think in some cases they need to be shown what they're missing. If they're happy with their partner, they won't be looking elsewhere. I know I have a bad habit of staying with people just because I don't want to hurt them or cause any trouble. At the moment someone else has come along and I couldn't stop myself from falling for him. I think it just goes to show the other person isn't happy if they return your feelings.

If they don't like you back or not enough to leave their partner for you then you just shrug and leave it.

 

[cahtush]

No never i have standards! How would you feel if someone did it to you?
And if it worked... too much heartbreak. I would feel like an asshole.

 

[Crazy]

I pursue everyone on a daily basis sexually, I have no idea what you're going to do with this knowledge however.

After 6-7 years of dating experience under my belt, I can safely say that most of the attractive women I've met had a boyfriend, fiance, husband, or at least someone they were sleeping with or otherwise seeing at the time I met them. In the past, I've always respected the fact that these women were in relationships and did not pursue them. I used to put myself in the shoes of the other guy, and thought that I would be very upset if someone was trying to get with my girlfriend.

However, lately I've rethought my position on this. The attractive women I meet are rarely single, and it's been my experience and the experience of my friends that most women wait until they've found another man they like before they ditch the guy they're currently dating. So I feel that by being respectful of these relationships, I'm only screwing myself out of a lot of opportunities, especially when the girl I like is also showing signs of interest in me. I wouldn't try to get with the girlfriend of one of my friends, but some random guy I don't know? May the best man win. I will still draw the line at getting involved with engaged and married women.

What are your views on the subject?

You should re-re-think your views on this. Your new girlfriend that was unfaithful to her previous guy, or basically guy-hunting while still in a relationship is likely to be just as unfaithful and dishonest to you... you are picking a bad apple knowingly and have no one but yourself to blame when you catch her cheating. Not to mention, she may never cheat on YOU, but knowing her past would make you paranoid for the rest of your relationship.

You don't have to sacrifice integrity and settle for less.

Well it was supposed to be a joke. I phrased it with as much light hardheartedness as possible.

Oh sorry. I should've realized you were joking.

 

[puncturedrectum]

Yes.Yes if they're in a casual relationship,yes if they're married,yes if they just had their 20th anniversary(MILF check!). Because pussy feels just great,it's the best thing on this planet next to heroin and Breaking Bad.

 

[Zack Alklazaris]

I am going to say never, but mostly because I did it once... well twice. And both times ended in disaster. Now keep in mind both women said they were in bad relationships and said I was the most amazing man they ever met. One meant it the other one wanted my virginity.

Both ended up cutting me off. The one that actually like me for more than my "innocence" started to fall in love with me got cold feet. She ended up staying with her husband. The other one took my virginity, took me for a ride, then eventually we broke it off. Especially after I discovered I wasn't the only one she was cheating with.

Upon retrospect I was very naive for my age (I was 22) and some women took advantage of it. I am not completely without fault my moral system should of been better than that. For the most part I did it because I felt a great girl was being taking for granted and deserved better, but a part of me did it because I was tired of never finding as girl I liked that was single. It angered me that women I would love and cherish were "being treated so unfairly".

Now I see it as selfish, I should never of tried to break up a relationship. No matter how bad it may appear. So no, I will never, ever, do it again.

 

[cahtush]

I wouldn't say that makes you "True Neutral" so much as "a self-centered d-bag." At the risk of a flame warning, but seriously, we're talking about breaking up a relationship based on what you want. How else does a halfway decent person describe it *without* coming off as flaming?

I dunno. I just don't care. Neutral Evil, maybe. Maybe.

Simply not caring about what other people feel when you possibly break their heart for some sofish reason? Thats evil if i've ever seen it.

 

[BloatedGuppy]

Under most circumstances, no, I wouldn't.

But I'm not going to LIE to myself. If I REALLY LIKED someone, and I thought there was a chance she could be won away, I could see it happening. It would be a stupid thing to do, but I'm certainly not above doing stupid things once emotions/hormones get involved. In fact, I'd say history firmly demonstrates I do almost nothing BUT stupid things once hormones/emotions are involved.

 

[davros3000]

Generally I avoid people in relationships. If they cheat on their current partner whats gonna stop with you all of a sudden?

Amusingly enough, however, most of the time I've got with a girl after several hours together she'll pop up with 'I should get back to my boyfriend, he'll be wondering where I am' or a variation on this theme. This is a score, you don't have to worry where its going between you and you know you've done well if they say that and still give you their number. Or crack on to you in front of people they know will tell their boyfriend. So far I'm lucky enough to have been bigger/stronger than the current beau. Boxing training helps.
