Not Wired for One, Perhaps?

My friend Dave posted something about there being a cheating gene and asked for people’s opinions. Ok, so, as I suspected when I first saw his posting, most of the subsequent opinions were from females, who, no surprise, used Dave’s invitation to shake a “shame on you” finger in the face of all males who ever dared stray or even thought about it.

I’m amazed sometimes at how obtuse we can be. I’m going to piss off some folks here, but I don’t care. Why is it that women are so susceptible to being caught in a double standard, self-righteous way of thinking? Men and women both cheat. I use the word “cheat” begrudgingly, because I feel, well, nevermind *why*.  Some of you understand. It doesn’t mean that “cheaters” are *bad*. Women, how many of you have *knowingly* been a married man’s mistress? I’m not one to throw stones in a glass house kids. I’ve been on both sides of the glass. I’ve learned a lot, too.

When we’re the other woman, it’s ok, but when “our” man has found another woman then he AND she are the bad ones??? Makes no sense to me.

We tend to forget that humans are mammals. (Geez, look it up.) Mammals were not meant to have just one partner. Look at evolution in nature. Human mammals are the only ones trying work around the natural selection process, but failing miserably because we aren’t “wired for one”.  Just my opinion.

Some of you will, no doubt, feel the need to bring up vows and promises of commitment. I say to you that given what we know about nature, ourselves, and the divorce rate, we can learn a thing or two from our unmarried ancestors. If you know you cannot remain faithful, then don’t make the commitment to anyone to do so.

Hey!  So there is my take on that item of recent interest. Agree? Agree to disagree? Regardless, I remain committed to telling it like it is…
