If you search through the backstreets of YouTube, you will see video evidence of men who make horrible mistakes, some funny and some less so. One of the most common of these horrible mistakes is getting involved with a woman who has a man.

This is dangerous ground that you should never tread. As much of an ego boost as it can give a man, once you get beyond the euphoria and adrenaline, you are left with many reasons to leave that woman alone. So if you are a philandrous man in a clandestine operation with an equally morally defunct woman, you might want to consider this:

How do you know there aren’t others?

It’s no secret that men think with their crotch and not their head. So when they see boobs, healthy hindsides, and a million dollar smile, little thought is eve given to the consequences that lay ahead. So what if she has a man? That’s not your problem, right? The only thing is that you can’t assume that you’re the only side joint. You can’t even assume that she only has one boyfriend. Consider a guy named Steve. Steve was involved in an extra-marital affair with a woman who told him that she was involved with someone but “they were done.” You know he didn’t care. But one day Steve got curious and had to ask about what “done” meant. She proceeded to tell him that she was technically married but they didn’t have the money for a divorce! Needless to say, there ended his foray into foreign waters.

Bodily harm

Many guys never think about the apparent dangers they are putting themselves in by being in conduits with taken women. Never mind the threat of an STD or a pregnancy with a one-night stand. Often, in such instances the man’s biggest fear is being interrupted during his love-making by some Bouncer looking dude who wants to know why you are defiling his woman. Seriously though, the “hey man I didn’t even know she had a boyfriend” excuse doesn’t always work with an enraged man, especially if it’s in his house! You can imagine the types of complications that can arise. Being badly hurt or worse by a scorned lover is not my idea of a Saturday night.

She may catch feelings

What if after all of her adulterous ways, she actually starts liking you? She may become obsessed, or do her best to convince you that this was an isolated incident and she truly loves you. What if you catch feelings too? Are you able to overlook how you two are in this situation? What happens then? You are in a situation that cannot be extended or legalized or given any sort of logical or legal justification. It is doomed from the get go!
