Question for girls

[davywavy]

Why is it, when a girl discovers that her man has been two-timing her, that she is far more likely to attack the other woman than to dump/attack/lay in to the bloke - who is patently the more guilty party having lied to her and cheated on her?

This makes no sense to me.

'Playground'/pack-instinct rules.

It's one of those unspoken things - it's fine for two girls to both be interested in one guy from afar (they'll probably push notes across the desk about him, giggle, and be generally insufferable), but if one gets lucky, the other should be a good sport, back off, and stop being interested - and *definitely* not make a move.

You don't stomp on someone else's territory, it's just Not Done, and anyone who breaks such a simple rule is setting themselves up for hair-pulling, being clawed with vertically-filed nails, slapped, etc in the short-term, and cold-shouldered/bitched about long-term.
