YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Mate poaching is mating strategy in societies or periods when there is gender imbalance or asymmetrical eligibility criteria in mate selection (“hypergamy”).

Examples: active flirting and courting, sexting and camming (cybersex), trying to stop the couple from spending time together, and pointing out negative qualities of the romantic rival.
