Research says 50% of women have a backup partner in mind when in a relationship

I didn’t realize it was so prevalent. I don’t think I could do it, it’s hard enough for me to find one man I like enough to be exclusive with. I would only seek a backup maybe if the relationship was on its last legs lol How about you?

Eh. Guys do to.

And I'd wager that about 100% of straight men in mono relationships have other women in mind that they'd like to smash if they found themselves suddenly single.

Off the top of my head. If I were single tomorrow. I have an ex-, a girl at the gym & and a girl I recently met at a client site that I could get with in a day or two. Having a back-up plan is just wise nowadays.

I do not agree with the idea of having a backup plan. It shows me that there is some insecurity somewhere. I would much do a clean breakup and develop myself then go back to some girl that has already failed my selection standards in the past for some pvssy.

Eh. Guys do to.

And if they dont, maybe they should.

But I get the feeling it would be the smart thing to do, not only with women but in general.

It shows me that there is some insecurity somewhere.

Yes, this coould be the case. I think there could be other reasons.

This is totally fair but I dont see using a re-bound and developing yourself as things that are mutually exclusive.

Ya’ll talking about having a couple pocket pusssies and 75% of the guys on this board don’t even have ONE.

 

[BackInTheGame78]

So do most guys

You are her backup plan. When she couldn't get who she wanted she ended up with you, until 1 she finds better or 2 you do. If she can't find better, you may have a (temporarily) stable situation.

 

[zekko]

Eh. Guys do to.

I've got to admit, I try to keep options in mind, just in case. I've been blindsided before, don't care for it to happen again.

Smart people have abundance.

Abundance also means you don't 'cling' to anybody.

If someone breaks up with you, you don't need a 'back-up', because having a partner is not a priority. You have all the time to meet someone new.

@CornbreadFed is right in the assertion that people who need back-ups are insecure; I gather that's because it's hard for many men to find a partner, but it shouldn't be hard for someone who lives in abundance.

I disagree. Attractive people have backup because other people want them and shown they are available for them. It is an organic, spontaneous occurrence that is just part of life. It is not a planned or constructed backup. It just is.

 

[corrector]

Just 50%, I thought it was more like 95%?

I did speed dating at a local Jersey shore bar last month. There were 30 men and 30 women and you talked to each woman for two minutes. 80% of the women were under 30 and 2/3 of that group was attractive.

How many men were sub 5'6"?

I have to think that there are a lot of women that meet "occupied" Chad-tier men tell them, "I'm ready to take your woman's place anytime you want".

 

[Manure Spherian]

people who need back-ups are insecure

I think it’s a form of extreme neediness.

Even if there is no immediate “standby,” is someone gonna die because she or he goes for some time single?

I can go for about a week being totally single. Then :

I have to get a woman.

I’ve only lived in Florida since June. Have a GF here but my back up chicks are all 900 miles away in Illinois. I haven’t built myself a harem here yet. At this point I pretty much expect that women will always have a backup plan. I’m sure my current GF does and that’s fine. So long as she takes care or me I really don’t care. Relationships are more like a business thing now anyway. I don’t take them too seriously anymore.

Everybody's got a backup plan.

Everybody knows that everybody's got a backup plan.
