Opportunism is the conscious policy and practice of taking selfish advantage of circumstances – with little regard for principles, or with what the consequences are for others. Opportunist actions are expedient actions guided primarily by self-interested motives. The term can be applied to individual humans and living organisms, groups, organizations, styles, behaviors, and trends.
The opportunist is always lurking in the winds and if your not careful you will be used by one and not even know it. If your familiar with the reality show real housewives of Atlanta you have heard the term opportunist. It has come up quite often this season in relation to Todd. This type of person purposely seeks out a mate that is already established and well off so they (the opportunist) do not have to work for anything. They seek out these individuals because they desire to live the life of a esteemed person but they are not capable of doing it on their own so they selfishly use people and situations to gain them the status that they are not capable of obtaining on their own merits. This person can be very dangerous to your heart strings if trying to pursue a loving relationship with them because you will never know if this person loves you for who you are or for what they can get from you.
In most cases it's for what they can get from you which means you will never get what your heart desires because your going to be too busy satisfying them.
The opportunist wants instant gratification. They will never chose a mate that's working on gaining success because this will force them to have to plan and wait for something to happen and that's not their ideal plan. The perfect mate for the opportunist is someone who is way above them in social, financial and mental status .Pay attention to the red flags. Are you the main financial source in your relationship? Do you find yourself giving way more than your getting back? are they taking more than they are giving? If this describes your relationship chances are your dealing with a opportunist. these relationships are usually one sided and there is no real fulfillment in it for the victim. If you chose to remain in this situation you will never receive your full worth's potential. When the opportunist comes knocking shut the door and lock it.
