Okay, I just want to address the ‘hypothesis’ that mean aren’t faithful or monogamous creatures by ‘nature’ - what a crock! I have found that excuse used often by men to support and justify their philandering ways. Monogamy/poly/cheating is genderless. And no - there is no ‘one size fits all’. Some people are poly ‘naturally’, some are monogamous. Both men and women have the ability to be faithful and the ability to cheat. It is this kind of nonsense that has some vulnerable women (and men) believing that they have to put up with this kind of behaviour, because some dudes (and dudettes) use highly flawed and biased pop psych as an excuse for not being able to keep their zips shut. There are men who have great skills of attraction and are monogamous/poly and faithful. I have seen plenty of “best” men practice faithful monogamy. Using the same kind of narrow logic, I could say that women are not naturally monogamous creatures either, as they are continually approached by these glorified ‘hunters’, and after several approaches she is bound to get plenty of better offers than the current/previous one. Considering in this logic she gets more approaches of attraction than men do, she should be less faithful, and have more suitors on the go - and more ’naturally’ akin to poly, so she can play her odds. So there we have it, all women are not naturally monogamous. For women, selection is a skill, and if a man wants a women who is not using her skills of selection, he will have to give up a lot of things that excite him also (oh my, like stop exercising his glorified ‘hunting’ skills maybe, unless he gets really, REALLY lucky, and finds prey stupid enough to put up with it). It is an all encompassing ‘rule’, that women will still be approached whilst current ’prey‘, by other hunters - as she has proved her skills of attraction and selection by simply being attached. The current hunter will have to work incredibly hard to keep her away from other hunters, and stay extremely focused if he wishes to keep his current prey away from other hunters (as they are all looming upon the Serengeti horizon). A general rule of thumb is monogamy and faithfullness is attractive, thus he will have to be that to keep his prey happy. So this passive prey item has it made really, doesn’t she? So, with all the time spent trying to keep prey happy, and away from other hunters, said hunter will have little time to exercise his own hunting skills once he has caught prey. But it’s all fine and dandy, as she is woman, a passive vessel being dictated to by evolution - it is fine to cuckold him without his permission. You men, are, after all, are simply selectees of women - a mere choice. 'Tis a horrible 'fact', but it's undeniable. *all said with tongue firmly placed in cheek* Seriously though, do you not see where these kind of narrow ‘arguments’ are flawed? I will address the OP in another post.
