I've read that the reason so many women stay with cheating spouses is because of the potential to lose everything they have. Not just monetarily, but socially. Even amongst their own friends. Amongst social circles where everybody has at least a boyfriend, a single female can be seen as a threat to the others. This leads to that group of girlfriends being colder to the new single, because 'now she's gonna come after one of our husbands!'. The ones who you refer to I believe do it to reassure themselves of their own sexuality. If they demonstrate to themselves that they're still 'dangerously sexy', that keeps their confidence in attracting a mate at healthy levels. I think this could be a survival technique to ward off anxiety.
Thats the way it is though, singles don't usually hang out with couples, it's a third wheel. I was talking about this to my mother and sister (NTs) the other day.
The ones who I refer to are just flirts and attention seekers, end of story.
I am single and I do not feel comfortable hanging out with couples. And I don't know how to flirt, but I'm telling you now if I was a ditzy flirt I would have a lot less female friends.
