She will destroy male-female romantic relationships so as to accumulate a second man in her ‘portmanteau’. Another name for this behavior is ‘The Cheerleader’ … a woman who lords it over other women, and towards whom they feel envy because the men they love fall head over heels for her. This behavior is typical of alpha females. –Alice B. Clagett
