Why Men Cheat

"It is better to make love to same woman a thousand times than to make love with a thousand women" - Anonymous

OK, I did some research on this before actually writing this entry and just for the record I neither condone cheating nor will I try to defend it. This entry is merely my view of it. I may get some heat from quite a few people especially from the XX community ( and maybe the gay ones too ).

Cheating. Ah what a crime, to abuse the trust of someone who worships the ground you walk on. Why do men cheat? Do they have something to prove by flirting (or sleeping) with every girl they see even though he has that special someone is thinking of him 24/7.

In my humble opinion (damn I love that intro) we have to look at this in a scientific approach. Around 250,000 thousand years ago, nasty little apes who we now refer to as homo sapiens came about. After the migration out of Africa, these apes started forming groups. These populations started to grow and some sort of social hierarchy, each individual is given certain tasks according to their physical attributes. The males being relatively larger, stronger and faster than the females started to hunt for wild animals, fish and collect whatever edible plants the forest had to offer depending on the geographical location and of course passing down his genes to his offspring. The females being smaller and had to rely on their minds rather than their body in order to survive had duties as well. They are more suited to giving birth, tending to their children and husband preparing the food and a little agriculture.

Lets fast forward to the present. Many a great nation has risen and fallen, countless of great events have come to past and the WWF has changed its name to WWE (sorry I just had to add it). We have come a long way from being those nasty apes that think they can control the weather by sacrificing small animals. Oh no my friends, now we have the Green House effect to finish the job once and for all.

Women and men's roles in society have drastically changed since then. In developed and most developing countries, women are highly educated and hold high positions in various establishments. Somehow despite the hectic work load and a busy social life, most women find the time to settle down and have children, and to raise the them up to be the generation of the future. Due to major strides in the field of science, men's role in reproduction is decreased. Single ladies who are not looking into a relationship or lesbians who would love to experience the joys of childbirth and raising one of the most precious gift available can go for artificial insemination. They only need to pick the kind of genes they wish their child to have and bada-bing-bada-boom, life.

Men on the other hand, does not have to hunt for food in most developed countries. But his most important task is to pass down his genetic information to his offspring to ensure that part of him lives on forever.

You could say that it is in his genes to cheat or his instincts in that matter. A shark swims, eats and makes baby sharks, instincts. Men want to sire a progeny of their massive numbers (fancy words to replace screwing around), instincts.

Sneer all you want but deep down in your guts, you know its true. Monogamy is totally against nature, seriously have you ever seen a male lion mating with one specific lioness? That dirty bastard mates with ALL the lionesses and that is after he murders all the cubs of his predecessor.

Back to point here, it doesn't matter what you wanna call it, men of modern times have lost one important role in life and do you think for one solitary second that he wishes to loose the other one? The ratio of males to females is almost equal and by the look of things is going to decrease further.

Listen, I told you earlier that I won't condone cheating in any form. A man, a 'real man' doesn't prove his manhood by the number of girlfriends he has or the 'countless' women he sleeps with. He proves himself by treating all women regardless of how they look with respect. He proves his worth by controlling his urges when seeing a hot looking chick in a night club if he is in a relationship. A man can rightfully call himself so by trying his best to make a relationship work or if worst comes to worst try to be cordial even after the relationship ends depending on the situation. Lastly a true man must always cherish his relationship with his wife or girlfriend and protect her from harm. Remember, no matter how gender roles are reversed, one thing always remains the same. A woman is allowed to make mistakes but a man can afford none.

Happy Valentines Day!
