It doesn't necessarily make them bad husbands or fathers. It's how the species survives. I understand the desire for women to cling fiercely to the notion that this is not some sort of DNA-based urge. I can say nothing to disabuse them of that notion. For those of us who understand reality, however, we become increasingly vigilant to protect against predatory females, we work hard to cut off opportunity, and we . . . give great head.
It really pisses me off when men say there is an urge for men and don't acknowledge women. Come on, your wife thinks about other men all the time and she's pretty much just as likely to cheat. Women tend to think of the kids more but otherwise, it's fair game.
Women do not have the same DNA-embedded desire to stray. Just the opposite, actually. That's why so many women on this board refuse to believe the entire premise of this thread. Men are programmed to cheat. It may not have happened to you . . . yet. If you make it through a lifetime of marriage without him cheating, you are one of the lucky ones.
This is absolutely not true. There are studies that show "romantic love" for both partners fades within a time frame of a few years because that is about how long it takes to get together, bond, mate, and for the woman to recover.
However, women do have hormones that compel them to be attached to the "provider" man longer, and try to hold the family together, but the fact is these systems are primative and designed for humans that had a much,much shorter life expectancy. These hormones fade as childrearing winds down and the little kid phase is over.
Most divorces are initiated by women in this country, and because most infidelity is not detected or is forgiven by the wife, the wives aren't always leaving cheaters. They are leaving because they want to leave.
Highly recommend reading "The Female Brain." Very fascinating.
