Study: Nearly Half of Women in Relationships Have 'Plan B' Man

A study found many keep another man waiting patiently in the wings should they end up single - and married women are even more likely to.

Half of all women have a ‘Plan B’ - in the shape of a man whose arms they can run into if their current relationship turns sour.
A study carried out among 1,000 women found a substantial percentage have managed to keep another man waiting patiently in the wings should they end up single. And, worryingly, married women are more likely have a Plan B in the background than those who are merely in a relationship. It also emerged the Plan B is likely to be an ‘old friend’ who has always had feelings for the woman in question.
But other candidates are an ex-boyfriend or ex-husband, a colleague or someone who they have met at the gym.
