Why is it that some women fall so easily to grooming

Whichever word you use, the original post seemed to infer that you think the person involved is either gullible, hasn't got a mind of their own or can easily be led - does it not?

Using the word "grooming" makes it sound even worse!

As adults we are all responsible for our own actions I thought.
:confused:
 
Good point.
But I did say some women, not all. I was only really thinking of one. I suppose one does tend to think the worst of the whole situation. I would not be surprised if she had not even been groomed at all maybe she just got sick of the sight of me and decided to legged it. lol
 
I thought grooming only referred to an adult who chatted up a young person on the internet in a way which miseld them into thinking they were talking with another young person until they totally trusted them enough to agree to meet them in real life. Children can be more easily misled than an adult and more trusting.

When it comes to flirting between two adults it depends where the line is drawn. If someone worked for a long time at leading someone away from their spouse it goes deeper than just flirting. It almost sounds as if the woman had no control over what happened.

Sadly relationships don't always last and people do move on. When you are the one left behind it must hurt.

hehehehehe thats good to hear :) But we where reffering to the choice of words.. Not really an important issue.. just a side issue if you will :)
 
Well your mates fault there.He should ask the other guy to leave and if he does not do it under his own steam then he gets helped.End of story.
 
Wish I could answer your question Len, but to be honest I really don't know why people do it. I have never responded to grooming, but mild flirtation can be fun as long as it's just taken as flattery and nothing more comes of it. I am a totally useless flirt, have never been good at it really. My best mate is a brilliant flirt and uses her talents to get what she wants eg. discounts in shops, good service in bars and restaurants etc. She has never had a long term flirtation which involvers her running off with another fella though.
I do know someone who ran off with another fella, and her excuse after 25 years of being married was that she was simply bored and looking for a bit of excitement. All I can say is that the grass is never greener on the other side, and this kind of thing has happened to plenty of us. Wish I could give you an answer, but it stumps me does this one. :confused:

The menfolk will be queing up to teach you how to flirt on saturday after that post hehe :)
 
:rofl38: I could do with the lessons Kipax, but have a feeling that their time and effort would be wasted. Old dogs, new tricks and all that.. :D
 
Ya, I figured it was going to be a difficult one, How does one explain human behaviour it probably still baffles the experts.
 
Flirting:
I’m not very good at it but I have had my moments usually between 6 and 7 pints.
When I’m with friends I usually know when to back of a bit especially when I’m been glared at.
 
Flirting is part of everyday life - babies actually flirt with adults to get what they want - no one has ever taught them how. So long as it's just a bit of fun it's quite harmless and a bit of a confidence boast.

On the other hand if you felt your partner was being chatted up in front of you - you would feel threatened and it would be natural to be defense.

Why we do it is down to our nature - humans have moved on alot in a short space of time but our brains haven't developed as quickly and our animal instincts are still with us!!!
 
You could equally well ask why we feel flattered by someone's attention instead of immediately wondering what they are after.
