YES!!!!

You see, this is why we are superior to animals. Humans don't just run on instinct. This theory is absurd. Men cheat because they are selfish and our society allows it. Could you imagine what would happen if all women banded together and refused to put out with a cheater? Men would tow the line pretty darn quick I think.

The ideas aren't mine. However, I agree with them. I think people are mostly dominated by instincts. I think our genetic programming is really in control and we're little more than robots used to make DNA copies.

Absurd? Pretty strong word.

Why are men selfish?

Why does society allow it?

Why don't women ban together?

How are they going to band together to stop you and others from cheating and trying to justify it?

How is women's problem.

Crossing the divide: Women finally out-earning men?
Jenna Charlton| Jun 14, 2012 11:50 AM


It's taken awhile, but slowly and surely women are closing the gender earnings gap. Compensation is finally catching up to workforce composition. Studies show that the workforce is almost equally comprised of men and women. With the labour force evening out, paycheques have had some catching up to do. Women are demanding and are finally receiving higher salaries, at times out-earning men.

It’s about time, right? It’s only taken….forever. But as generations of women have increasingly placed greater importance on post-secondary education and careers, equal pay for equal qualifications and work is finally happening. We’re not entirely there yet - on average women who work in comparable roles to men may still earn less - but we’re moving in the right direction.

According to a Pew Research Center study, “young women now surpass young men in the importance they place on having a high-paying career or profession.” Women entering similar roles to men should have always been paid the same, but now as more women than men are increasingly entering high-paying careers we’re starting to see a shift.

I have a couple of friends who out-earn their male partners, and are considered the household breadwinner. This is a huge reversal from those 1950s images of the so-called picture perfect nuclear family. The topic of women earning more than men has been making headlines for the past couple of years. In a 2011 article for The Atlantic, writer Kate Bolick describes male economic dominance as "passing into extinction."

The recent economic collapse didn’t help matters for men. It’s been reported that more men have lost their jobs over the ensuing years than women. A recent Maclean’s article states that, “job losses during the last recession (and the two before it) were mostly incurred by men, who dominate the hardest hit sectors such as construction and manufacturing.” Women are starting to make greater gains in fields such as “medicine, law, upper management and high finance,” and in doing so out earning men and holding on to their jobs during difficult economic times.

This economic shift is also causing societal changes. Women are not getting married as early as they were 50 years ago. Bolick writes that, “women don’t need husbands in the way they used to,” which could account for why “the number of single adults rose to 50% in 2010, compared to 33% in 1950.”

Times are changing. Women are movin’ on up and everyone is adjusting. There are a more stay at home Dads now than there were 10 years ago, and if the studies are any indication of economic, societal and household trends we could see a lot more role reversals in the future. We all still have a ways to go in regard to complete equal pay for equal work but progress is forging ahead. As the workforce evens out, paycheques have no choice but to follow.

It's the fault of women that you can't stop cheating?

No, it's women's fault for putting up with it. Men can only get away with what women allow.

Ah. Yeah, I wouldn't put up with it.

People get into relationships because it supplies them with something they want.

They get out of them because their wants are not being met.

Men and women "cheat" in relationships because they perceive something in the relationship is lacking.

True sometimes. But this leads to the whole societal problem of "me first" and "new, better, gotta have it". We are a materialistic and selfish society. Our relationships reflect that societal ill.

This is a good point. When men are more dependent upon women to survive, it will definitely change the dynamic between the sexes. However, our natural differences won't change. Women are genetically different than men. We are simply more emotional, nurturing and multifunctional than men. Whereas men are more practical and solution oriented.

What it all comes down to is that we (men and women) don't really need each other anymore. That's why I'm starting to think love and long term committed relationships are outdated concepts.

What if we just decided to be happy on our own and didn't put any expectations on each other? What if we stopped caring about what each other did? We could spend time together doing what we do and then leave each other alone to do whatever.

My mother and father were married for 60 years, until my mother died. I don't know why or how they stayed together other than force of will. They both decided to commit to each other and stuck to their word.

I also know a few happy couples today. But, it doesn't seem to be working for a lot of us. I've recently come to understand that I'm really happiest on my own. I don't like the chaos that relationships seem to bring.

we are superior to animals because we have aposable thumbs

And what about the men who marry/partner and stay faithful with women who can't have children? Or who are with women who they know there is a high chance of their children being born with a birth defect?

What about younger men (20's & 30's) who fall in love with older women (latter 40's and above)? They know these women will not be looking to have more (or any) children and yet that is who they choose to stay with.

According to your theory/belief/reasoning, why would TheCaptain choose me, a woman who is three years older than him, instead of a 20 year old?

Maybe it is because some men think with the big head and only use the smaller one to please the partner that they are committed to/in love with unlike animals who are only capable of choosing partners for the propagation of the species.

As I have said a number of times THESE ARE NOT MY THEORIES. This is evolutionary psychology 101.

I answered your question about young men and older women in the post you quoted. Obviously you didn't read it.

Everything else has already been covered sense that post.

But it is your belief or your reasoning that is why I wrote it as "theory/belief/reasoning", is it not? So using that as a guideline, why would he choose me and not a younger woman as that theory states?

I did read what you wrote, so I don't appreciate that you claim I didn't. I asked a question about why would a younger man be with an older woman in a COMMITTED relationship if that theory was true.

Also what about the first part of my questions, I haven't seen any other post about a man who was with a woman who didn't want or couldn't have children and his staying faithful to her. According to what you have typed, those men should be out screwing around with younger women just because their partner is not capable, but yet they stay together and monogamous.

Since.....
