Why men cheat

Quest for true romance fills him with a sense of adventure. After he finds the girl, and has sex, he knows she's there, and there's no excitement anymore.
He wants to go on another quest, since security is boring. His thirst for danger must be satisfied.
'tis naught but an evil, immoral lust for adventure. |

When bloodfow to the penis increases, there isn't enough blood going to the brain. As a reslt, men tend to make stupid decisions. <BR> 2) Sometimes men may not be looking to cheat. They may be looking for someone to understand them and empathize with them. This could be because there is some sort of problem in the relationship. The problem is that, for men, the process of connecting emotionally with a woman tends to invlove sex. |

There's a pretty good ev psych explanation of this double standard. There's also a good ev psych explanation of why women put up with men who cheat.
On edit: but it also makes evolutionary sense for a man to bond emotionally with at least one women and invest in their offspring. |

If the the male strays but maintains a high level of parental investment, the female's chances of passing her genes on aren't any worse than they would otherwise be. But if it appears that the male is not only pursuing illicit sex, but is a good bet to bolt out of the relationship, the female might be better off looking for another male.
Supposedly, psychological studies have shown that men worry more about their partner straying sexually, and women worry more about their partner straying emotionally. |

Not as many and not to the same degree. Take a look at the relationships gay males tend to have vs. the relationships gay females tend to have.

|
Date: October 9th, 2004 5:36 PM Author: up-to-no-good location Men are biologically programmed to want to have sex with lots of women.
Ideally, I suppose each man would have a harem of women with whom he could have sex, so that he had enough variety not to become bored with any single woman.
In our society, men are expected to have sex with one and only one woman. For a while, he is okay with doing this, but eventually the monogamous sex gets boring and he wants to find a "fresh" woman to have sex with. |

Due to millions of years of evolution, almost all men produce enough cum to impregnate fertile women. HTH.
"now i have some ammo next time some dopey guy tries the bs evolutionary justification."
Dopey I'm not. Anyway, women do have evolutionary reason to cheat: if their parenter is fugly, it might pay to screw a hunk to produce a "sexy son" (evolutionary psychologists actually call this explanation the "sexy son" hypothesis). Or if she finds another man who could invest more in her children, she might be better off forming a relationship with him. It's just that the evolutionary considerations all told (i.e. when weighed against the countervailing considerations against) in favor of cheating were generally less strong in the EEA (environment of evolutionary adaptation) for women than they were for men. |

|
Date: October 9th, 2004 5:55 PM Author: up-to-no-good location That doesn't make any sense. A woman could have sex with one man repeatedly and be just as succesful at getting pregnant as she could if she had sex with several men, since men are *always* able to fertilize an egg.
Men are programmed to want to have sex with one woman for only a limited period of time because a pregnancy lasts nine months and it is (biologically) useless to have sex with a woman who has already been impregnated and won't be able to become impregnated again until nine months later. |
|
Date: October 9th, 2004 5:58 PM Author: Slimy Spot A man may not be as adpet at getting his sperm to reach the egg as other men. He could have a low sperm count, for instance. One would never know this. <BR> Also, there is the second part where a second man could begin delivering the sperm as soon as the first man is finished. Perhaps this is why men are naturally quick to finish. (Think of your first time) and then have to train themselves to delay ejaculation. If a harem of men were available, we would not have to do that. |

|
Date: October 9th, 2004 6:07 PM Author: Submissive ruby gay wizard idiot Any woman can get pregnant, if that's the goal. However, if you want evolutionary progress, you'd want to have the strongest male be the father, not just ANY male.

|
Date: October 9th, 2004 6:13 PM Author: Submissive ruby gay wizard idiot WTF are you arguing then? That women should be able to have sex with others for fun? Fine. But that's not what we were talking about when this argument started.
If you're talking about "father" as in a "father" figure, that's bullshit because she wants the best genes, from an evolutionary perpective. |

And one might even know that a hot woman is infertile yet still want to have sex with her. Though evolutionary psychologists talk in terms of costs and benefits, they don't think creatures are necessarily consciously weighing them.
|
|
Date: October 9th, 2004 6:04 PM Author: Slimy Spot But perhaps this is exactly why women would want the highest number of men. That reduces chances of their intertility. Makjes perfect evolutionary sense to me. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=92180&forum_id=2#1462432) |
|
Date: October 9th, 2004 6:10 PM Author: Comical jewess volcanic crater As I said in a post below, evolution often doesn't plan for contingencies that almost never arise. And men are reluctant to invest in children when they have reason to be unsure of paternity; there's a fairly large body of literature on the subject. Why do you think babies resemble their fathers at birth? It's not a cosmic coincidence. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=92180&forum_id=2#1462461) |

|
Date: October 9th, 2004 6:14 PM Author: up-to-no-good location You're forgetting something. A woman doesn't just want to get pregnant, she also wants a powerful man to take care of her and her offspring. If she has sex with several men, one after the other, none of the men will know whether the offspring is his (or one of the other men's) and therefore none will have incentive to care for her and the baby. So, she will have a baby, and have no way of feeding it and herself, or protecting it as it matures. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=92180&forum_id=2#1462481) |

|
Date: October 9th, 2004 6:03 PM Author: up-to-no-good location If the man is not succesful at impregnating the woman, she will leave the man and find a man who can impregnate her. Once she has found a man who can though, she doesn't need to have sex with multiple partners.
Even if a woman is fertile, however, she can only get pregnant every nine months, and so a man who isn't having sex with other women in between is not producing as many offspring as he could.
I don't see why it matters how long it takes for a man to ejaculate. Once he ejaculates, the sperm is there. Also, men generally would not want to be in a harem and have sex with one woman who has had sex with other men, because they would never know whether any offspring belonged to them or one of the other men. Then, they would have no reason to take care of the woman and her children since they have no assurance that she has had their child (and no one wants to care for the child of another man, who is a competitor, biolgically). |
|
Date: October 9th, 2004 6:07 PM Author: Comical jewess volcanic crater "If the man is not succesful at impregnating the woman, she will leave the man and find a man who can impregnate her."
I haven't seen any evidence to suggest this is true. Evolution has programmed us to consciously pursue sex and romance; not babies.
It's worth noting that very, very few males are infertile. Evolution often doesn't plan for contingincies that almost never arise. |
|
Date: October 9th, 2004 6:08 PM Author: Slimy Spot A man ejaculates quickly and delives the sperm. That sperm has let's say 1/100 chance of making a baby. Then another man can come in and deliver his sperm. The more sperm, the more chances of pregnancy. Thus it makes sense that there should be a large haerm of men who ejaculate quickly. The fact that men are naturally programmed to do so, backs up this theory. Because of nonogamy, ment train themselves to delay ejaculation. <BR> Neither men no woman would want to live in a harem. The fact that women have, only comes from the fact that men were able to force them to. |
