50% of women have a backup man
Updated | By Bronwyn Hardick

It was found that out of the 1000 women used in the surveyed, the majority had a “Plan B” waiting on the side line. The “Plan B” guy is usually an old friend that has always had feelings for the female in question, while others added to the so-call back-up list include an ex, a colleague or someone they met while out (gym, grocery, club).
OnePoll.com says: ”For our research to establish that 50 per cent of women in relationships have a ‘Plan B’ is a worrying sign.
“This news may cause a few men in relationships to think twice about not taking the trash out or choosing a night down at the bar instead of a cozy night in with his partner.
“This could spark fear in men across the country and be great news for women looking for that extra bit of love and care so that their attentions aren’t swayed.”
The Plan B guy is more than likely to be someone she has known for more or less 7 years.
Some more stats from this survey include:
- 10% of these men have already let the female know how they feel and how they want to be with her.
- 40% say that she has gotten to know “Plan B” while she has been with her current man.
- Another 40% say that the “back-up” has been before her relationship started.
- 25% of these women say that they also have feelings for their “Plan B”
- 12% say that their feelings for “Plan B” is stronger than the ones for her current situation. WOW!
- 70% stay in constant contact with their back-up boo.
- 25% of the men have met their potential replacement.
