The growing needs of her life of luxury sharpened her appetite, and she would clean a man out with one snap of her teeth. She decided that if this was her fate, she would turn the tables and become a weapon against her oppressors. This thought of a man-eater is by no means an original idea. We also have the myth of the Lamia who, in Greek mythology, was originally described as a serpent who eats babies and later evolves into a seductress that enticed and devoured men in female form.
And then of course we get into the modern culture of music. They focus on the bestial aspect of how dangerous the man-eater is. The music video employs an alternative sexual approach that kind of redefines a man-eater into a more feminist icon. The most famous example is the horror-comedy movie Teeth starring Jess Weixler. In the movie, the main character gets raped by a man named Toby. They know how to play mind games with men, knowing it'll hurt them just because they see it as some kind of sport.
READ: 9 things mature women never do in relationships. Man eaters are cocky: They have this mindset of being the best thing any man can ever have. So they think they are doing any man they come across a favour. It doesn't matter whose happiness they are destroying. Man eaters are never satisfied: They'll want the attention of one man to day and another man the next day. They are always on the lookout for something better.

Oh no, these women know exactly how to catch 'em, keep 'em and then toss them aside like a used piece of gum in favour of the next hot bachelor who comes their way. The difference? Many of these women are bona fide man-eaters, who, says one bloke, talk about men as men talk about steak - juicy pieces of meat to be picked, enjoyed and devoured before they move on to the next.
While life coach Alina B pooh-poohs the man-eater theory by claiming that these women just "use men as sport for their own egos", and do so "without consideration of love or the fact that a man is human too and not fodder for her ex-lover revenge", I'm not convinced that they don't actually have the secret to men, love, and life.
They don't need men, men are simply accessories to their already fabulous lives, just like most men view women. And aren't those the types of women men are drawn to anyway? Despite what anyone might say, it seems that man-eaters definitely have more fun that the rest of us, more options, more luck in the man-department and certainly, if nothing else, a darn good sex life.
And if what Newsweek once said albeit in the 80s rings true — that there is more chance of a woman in over the age of 35 getting killed by a terrorist than getting married? Well, then I think many might need to step up with some attitude. But I still wonder: in a world in which competition among women all vying for the last remaining single heterosexual bloke on the block is more fierce than an AFL grand final … is it better to be a man-eater or a timid girl?
Yet women often travel in herds and wonder why no poor guy has started talking to them. Go get a glass of water from the bar alone if you have to! It's simple. To make a man aware of your presence and your potential interest, all you need to do is direct a little attention towards them with a look.
I call it the '3 second rule'. Coyly look over in his general direction without staring directly at him. Once you feel his eyes on you, give him a quick smile and look away.
