I think Linda is correct on this. It boils down to insecurity & low self-esteem. That's the only reason I can think of that would make someone want to make a move on another woman's man. (That and an intense hatred). I could never understand it myself. I can never date a guy that I know has dated a friend. As for female friends, the only female friends I have are strong, independant women with their own sense of who they are. I don't have time for petty, jealous, insecure women, ...and you can smell those a mile away. Working in films, you kind of get a sense for who they are and what they're like, ...always comparing themselves to you or any other woman within 3 feet of them. no thanks. overall, I think women's friendships are much healthier than men's friendships. Although when guys bond, they really bond ...'cause men just aren't use to lettings themselves feel close to another man.
