in all seriousness

its in our instinct, and the instincts of those closest to our species to be polygamous. Consider apes. Consider the many polygamous civilizations before our time. I seriously doubt cavemen paired up with one cavewoman and stuck it out for their whole life.

can we control our urges --> sure (go go "sophitication")

but the truth is clear

possibly

simple solutions

for all the men that do cheat or want multiple women in their lives


think about this

thats more estrogen , periods, possible pregancy hormones , more women needing u to go pick up the evil items that women need one week out of the month or during pregnancy needing u to go and get breast pads, breast pumps maternity bra's amongst the many other womens products that we require

more money flying out of ur wallets


now do ya still wanna cheat lol

and no i dont think all men are that way

boys on the other hand

I've been in a few committed relationships in my life and have NEVER 1:cheated on my girl 2:left one for another 3:broke up with her and went straight to another 4:got with one of her friends, no matter the temptation or offer.

ALL men are not pigs and more than just myself like to have ONE woman.

Conversely, most women that I know never left anyone until they had another.

It goes both ways and while I can't say that men are better than women, most sure are not worse.

?

this isn't about cheating...
the thread's about human nature

=o.

okay fine in human nature would you want you want to stick to ur animalistic or human nature
to have to deal with all that estrogen

I certainly dont want to live with more than one woman

OK, then it's not in my nature to want more than one woman.

((mirror))

personally?

i've dated more than one person...but never pursued a serious relationship with more than one...
(ugh - i couldn't imagine)

on that note - i've never cheated, jumped from girl to girl, or anything of the sort.

i love my instincts - i rely on them. I try to incorporate them into my life as much as i can....

but admittedly - there comes a time when you have to draw the line. for example - i'm not going to lay out traps for the neighbor's dog or anything. lol =oD

(((Fallin)))

I believe that both men and women are polygamous/promiscuous by nature. It is natural to want to reproduce as often and with as many different members of your species as you can. It ensures survival and increases genetic deviation. However, the one thing that separates us from other animals is free will. With that, we can choose not to "give in", if that's what you want to call it, to those animal urges. Haha... that being said, there are some other animals that are monogamous by nature, such as penguins and swans....

good point

Although I prefer one woman at a time myself (keeps the disease factor down and away), but I believe men were designed to breed like animals by nature. Call it primitive, call selfish, call it what you like. Millions of years of evolution haven’t changed that a bit no matter how modern and civilized people think we all are. Some men choose to use their Neanderthal (thought to be extinct) mindset and some try to use their Homo Sapien brain (the race that killed off the Neanderthals because they were smarter).

Life is all about choices.

this one's not...

I can barely walk and chew gum at the same time, let alone play more than one gamous at the same time...

You make a valid point however, the question was "Are MEN polygamous by nature?" It said nothing of people in general but, a direct reference to one gender. Thus, implying men are unable to be faithful. Granted this was done in a comical matter & should not have been taken at face value.

I believe that both men & women are capable of being faithful. I also believe that there are some women & men that incapable of any long term relationships.

I do agree that people can grow apart but, we fail to realize that we grow apart by the choices we make. Far to often we simply accept that the relationship is over without ever trying to work at it. All relationships require work. It is simply a matter of how much we are willing to dedicate. At the same time, the kindest thing we can do in a relationship sometimes is to end it.

I suggest that we ask ourselves what we want out of a relationship truly. Society should not tells us what we need. Marriage, kids, or forever after may not be for some. There is nothing wrong with that so, long as we are honest with ourselves & others. When we are honest with ourselves, we can then choose relationships that are right for us and the other person.

Sorry for being so long winded. I did truly appreciate your feedback. Thank goodness that we all do not think alike otherwise it would be very very dull!
