Other women are an inevitability. They're going to always be there, and how you choose to deal with them is up to you. Men who are in committed relationships or marriages often have a difficult time navigating in this difficult terrain. Many fall victim to their desires, and end up chasing other women in some way or another.
While some guys may stop short of out-and-out sexual infidelity, they do indulge in a number of behaviors that would make their partner bristle.

The problem is when the fantasy goes too far, and starts to manifest as problematic behaviors - in reality.
That's when you get into trouble. The Pursuit and "Capture" Many men like the chase of women. Pure and simple. And many women like the chase.
