I can only speak from my experience.
My wife have been faithfully married for34 years; no cheating. ( probably no one else would have either of us)

Um. Yeah... you said it very well. Based on my last two years of dating (was in an LTR that just got boring prior to that) I have come to the conclusion that the main reason I can't get a girlfriend is that I'm just not enough of a *****head.

Sounds arrogant, and i mean it in jest (mostly). But really- taken objectively, shouldn't a fella with a decent paying job he enjoys,a bachelor's degree, a house in the historic district, and a Benz be occasionally be seen as the wiser choice than some biker/tweaker/gangsta/just plain slacker?

I guess I'm attracted to the wrong kind of girl, but I used to fare pretty well back when I didn't have much going for me... now I'm beginning to think that in the battle of the sexes, the biggest idiot wins. Granted, according to the theory of evolution, this means we're going to go extinct, but hey...

BTw I figure that about 40% of women cheat and I've personally only had to deal with 1 when seriously involved.

(Oh, and that one? She hooked up with a washed up ex-pro athlete, now unemployed, who shot himself in the head successfully after getting her pregnant. See what I mean?)

I can certainly relate. I can add all of the above and, additionally add the profession of "engineer". I also wear glasses. You should see 'em run in the other direction. Not interested in serious meaningful conversation by a "stable" individual.........need the excitement of the spontaneous, cocky, funny man, who just happens to be unemployed..........again. Women need to be entertained.........I'm not in that profession.

Sometimes a nice Humvee can make all the difference.

I suppose that they belive that there is be a relationship between the size of the man and the size of the $hitbox.

But, personally, I honestly believe it's an inverse relationship.

I think they are actually more interested in the *****box and would be completely happy as widows... as long as the *****box itself was in good working order.
But alas as we all know, when pulling out past a line of parked vehicles, 'size' does madder.

In my opinion,

I have seen enough evidence to conclude that there is no shortage of stupid women in this world. As far as stupid men, I'll leave that one to you.

I have seen women who were clearly abused (your choice as to how) and still cling to the guy for various idiot reasons. The two best I've heard were..."he'll change...." and "if he goes, i won't find another man..." . Both of these point to low self esteem.

As far as their inclination to cheat, I don't think most stupid women actively seek out a man to cheat with but rather they exhibit actions that make them seem willing and vulnerable to a man 'on the hunt' for the vulnerable low self esteem types. All the guy has to do is shower her with attention and compliments and she usually goes along with the show.

Personally, I've had a guy cheat on me. I'll leave the details out but the bottom line was, he did it because he thought he could get away with it. The reason is irrelevant, and since we weren't married, it was actually a blessing that his true colors came out before things in the relationship progressed further.

As far as going forward, I sometimes feel the biological clock ticking (you really can guys) especially since i started a new decade in age and a new line of work. Although this is a concern, I'm excited about the future and I plan to live life as fully as I can.

My advice to you guys when 'selecting' a mate or partner...look and see how her mother lives her life. most of the time, history is often a good indicator. take the advice with a grain of salt, good luck.

As far as the future,

Howdy Ara T,
Depends on how big of a hot tub you put on it and that is limited by how much Ciallis you think you can handle ;-)
