Men are inherent escape artists, yes? no?

I was going to rebut this point by point and then I thought “What’s the point?”

Some dogs can’t be housebroken. Most can. Some men can’t be faithful. Most can. There are situations where any of us may succumb to temptation, but if we know it’s going to be a problem, we can ensure we don’t go places where opportunity is high and likelihood of getting caught is low. Guys who don’t are dogs, and not in the good sense.

If you haven’t got a mate (and children), go have fun. When you have responsibilities, “nobody will ever know” isn’t a good excuse. Especially when you’re finally found out. As Mark Twain is rumored to have said: “If you don’t lie you don’t have to remember what you said.”

Just for the record, I’m single and housebroken. :wink:

Heheheheh… “staff member.” Heheheheheh.

He can’t be bargained with. He can’t be reasoned with. He doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And he absolutely will not stop, ever, until he gets laid.

Am sorry. Can you rephrase, please, as I am confused.
Thank you.

I will just apply to one of your points, and note:

most marriages fail today, and have always failed (in secret, at least)
because the male wanders. The wife of old took it on the chin, often as not.

Today? It’s a toss. “Most can.”

MOST ARE NOT.

((fact, check statistics))


I recall a neighbor of thirty five years ago.

Great guy, stable marriage.

His across the street neighbor, a work-at-home jeweler, a gay guy,
a buddy of mine, excitedly dished to me, "Reid, guess what?

I had him for sex and it was a wonderful work-out."

The guy was ‘straight’ and an FBI agent.

He’s not atypical. Most men can be had for a song by women,

and, often by guys. But they are not gay; they are free-range sex machines

if they think they won’t get caught.
No?

Yes he can.

“Free-range Sex Machine” - can’t decide if that’s a better band name than “Vortex of Fuckery.” Hmmmmm.

Yes, we can all be perfect and moral and faithful to our women.

More men screw around than the women who’d keep them faithful.

Why? Programmed to sew oats. I know that’s not deep, it’s just obvious.
We should never lie or cheat or steal hearts.

Men fail by design. Women love bold men.

They get bold, and then the wandering of the men gets old on them real fast.

Are you a moron or a poet? Or more of a free-range moron-poet?

Yeah, right. Who exactly do you think those men are cheating with?

I somehow managed to be able to not be unfaithful, and I can confirm (as of this morning’s shower) that I’m a man.

Well, I myself have had about four hundred of the best in my time.

thirty years gone wrong

I guess that’s a little kinky, but will it really save a marriage?

You…use English words, but not in a way that works for me. I can’t figure out if you are trying to put across a point or are just giving us a steady stream of your musings? Maybe I need to be high when reading yours posts?

As for the ‘eternal conflict of the sexes’…imho, it’s not that women or men who are more likely to cheat. I think that people with money/power are more likely to cheat because they can. (But that is not to say that people with money/power WILL cheat, just that the ability to cheat increases.) I mean, we’ve now got middle aged European women going to Africa to have sex with 20 year olds because they have money/power and therefore can.

I wonder what techchick’s up to these days.

Bite me. You check statistics. Then cite them. Not my job to do your research.

Depends on whether she opens her mouth wide enough:D

I guess not all women are beds of roses.
Some lose their petals and keep their thorns.

The famous rose song:

(Groucho Marx)

This is the heart of it, I think. Although men have the advantage of the fact that women naturally find rich/famous/powerful men sexy, so a guy at the level of Schwarzenegger, regardless of what he looks like, will have his pick of the best looking women - not just gold diggers, but women who are genuinely turned on by his social standing.

Lucky guy. If he wanted to take advantage of that, he probably shouldn’t have entered into a monogamous marriage with a woman of equally high standing. Hmm… could her political connnections have had something to do with it?

I am a yam: sweet and stupid.

I am, ergo, like most men on the make: mushy when tender,
hard when fried.
