- No, not always. Some women don't want to commit and with the modern women of today 'some' just want a one night stand like some men. Women are often into careers and don't want a relationship, but need male company. It's safer for an unmarried woman to have an affair with a married man because the statistics are low that he will leave his wife and if he does decide to get a divorce it's doubtful he will want to carry on a relationship (or marry) the other woman and will enjoy the freedom he has and will be long gone. There is a percentage of some unmarried women who are looking for more of a father figure or, they may reach out for the love they aren't getting. Married men are generally more experienced than single men and unmarried women that prefer to cheat with married men feel safer than having an affair with a single man. No commitments.
ANSWER:
It's not low self esteem, some single women prepare married men because they know how to treat this mistress that right, especially if the married man is older than his mistress. When single women choice to pick the married man she is only looking to some passion, esp. if this married man is good in bed. Once in a while we call them " the sugar daddy"
