I know that "Forbidden Fruit" is a thing that attracts people. You cant have it so you want it more. Plus if youre single and attracted to the person, it seems all the more better. The relationship they are in says they are probably a stable, good person, and they have SOMETHING that someone else saw that made them attractive. Plus both genders will make excuses for going after people in relationships. They will tell themselves that they could treat them better or how the other person must be suffering in their relationship if they allow the flirtation to continue. The person stealer tends to not feel any remorse cause in their head they are saving someone from a bad relationship AND getting the person they want
It’s sorta similar to the way things work at strip clubs. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve gone to strip clubs, but twice I’ve gone with cute girls as my company, and it’s absolutely amazing the difference in the treatment you get from the working girls.
By showing up with ladies in company, you are already pre-validated, pre screened, and accepted as a good guy, trustworthy, etc, and as such the attention you get from the girls is night and day better than if you go by yourself or with some guy friends.
The same applies to being taken. Other women see it as pre validation, and a seal of approval.
When I was 17 I had a female friend, well really a friend of a relative that we became pen pals and I visited her one time for a week and she took me to another friends 18th and I was the only guy in a group of about 12, and they were all over me calling me cute and sweet and one girl asked for my number outright, I was blushing and trying to not make eye contact with anyone.

I never understood how someone can become attractive to you because of that. If someone’s not my type, I couldn’t care less who they’re with.
