[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Man here, My 20-60-20 is your guide:

20% of men are absolute dirtbags and are cheating at every turn.
60% of men are generally faithful but if the perfect opportunity presented or if drinking with an old girlfriend will take the plunge.
20% of men are boyscouts and would turn down naked Kate Upton.

Despite that most men have or would cheat doesn't mean they aren't content in their marriage.  Monogamy is a charade.[/quote]

This is interesting. I think my husband is a boy scout. I don't think he'd cheat, not because he's so in love with me or that I'm so special (believe me, I know I'm not) but just because he's not wired that way and he wouldn't want to have to think badly of himself. He was raised Catholic and he is a lot more ethical/moral than I am. I wouldn't cheat because I know I have a good thing going with him. But I'm not super ethical like he is.[/quote]

And, frankly, I think the 20% who are boy scouts have low testosterone or low self-esteem or no swagger or little interest in sex, which doesn't exactly make them ideal husbands either.  My husband would never, ever cheat.  Unfortunately that means he also never really desires me either.[/quote]

PP here, not my experience. My husband wants sex way more often than I do. He's a 2-3 times a week guy. I'm more of a 1x a week girl, if that.[/quote]
Another boy scout wife. I think my DH does have a lower drive than normal but he desires me plenty and we actually match up perfectly![/quote]

+1 same here. [/quote]
But the cynic in me says he's probably in the 60% camp then.[/quote]

I honestly would be more surprised than angry if he cheated. Honestly I'd ask him if he thought he needed an MRI or something it would be so incredibly surprising.[/quote]
