Would you ever try to steal someone else's man or woman?

[09-19-19]

Ever? Sure. There needs to be some reason it's not a terrible idea. If they can be stolen what's the point in stealing?

I wouldn't try pURsue a relationship with someone who was already in one. I've barely felt like I wasn't pestering folks and screwing up their lives by begging for their luv n attention when they're single.

Psh, like I would have to do any work. I'm the whole package, y'all literally cannot compete with me

Haha, this 18th century lyrics! You cannot steal a person from another. A person is not the possession of another person not is a person the property of a thief post factum. The whole idea is sad. The culture of simply owning a person as a slave, be it spouse or servant, crofter or warrior, comes through. How close you might feel any sort of attachment doesn't make you an owner. It might make you rather feel obsessed than owning.

I don't believe in 'stealing', that makes a person like an object with no agency - if my girlfriend met another guy and liked him better and she wises up and leaves me, that guy didn't steal her. that was her choice

The first time you asked this question and said "still" someone else's, it reminded me of this song: https://youtu.be/tSRYvYN1ayw?t=31

Normally when I find out that a girl has a boyfriend I immediately lose all interest in her, I don't know why, I just consider her as unavailable as if she had three arms and greased her hair with raw sewage or something. But if I were less insecure, and had a job, and reaaally wanted a girl badly enough, I'd probably try to steal her. Her man's probably a worthless thug anyway. =P
