I dont think he is blaming the man, but rather expressing disgust that he took advantage of a married woman's advance. Fair response given the circumstance.
Here is a quote (although maybe slightly out of context) from
today's blog post by roissy

Here’s a clue, chipmunk-cheeked conservatives: If you wish to change the behavior of men, you first must change the behavior of women. The penis parades to the ***** tune, not the other way around. Your chivalry and paeans to honor and duty do nothing but fuel the decline. Guys like me laugh at your sacrifice.
Honor and duty have no place in the mating game. It is dog eat dog. Honor and duty amongst FRIENDS is an entirely different story.
When I have sex with a married woman, I am simply playing a part in the natural order of things. I accept that this might carry SLIGHT risks, but I do not have even the slightest moral qualms with sexing a married woman.
Men espouse the importance of honor while perched on their high-horse, but most of this is out of FEAR that someone like me doesn't have a problem with giving a married woman what she is already asking for. Lowering the bar is wishful thinking, but it doesn't stop a lot of men from doing just that.
As roissy pointed out- it has nothing to do with men and EVERYTHING to do with women.
This is where your fatalism starts to reek. You imply that his wife was, essentially, a ticking time bomb of infidelity that was waiting for the right moment to go off, to the complete ignorance of her husband. I venture to say he knew his wife as well as you could know a woman after 24 years, but things transpired in a way that fostered her cheating. In the end, she still made the choice. But, had his frame been managed differently, her infidelity may not have come to pass.
Yea, usually the things that transpire to foster the cheating are:
- woman loses attraction for husband due to multiple reasons
- woman begins to take more care in her appearance
- woman gets attention from men
- woman accepts attention from men
- woman goes out and has a few drinks with friends/coworkers
- woman is attracted to a friend of a friend or a coworker, and proceeds to seduce him
Dude, I've watched this play out many times, and it's always the same. The married woman hunts for c0ck. Married chicks are the MOST aggressive and easiest to fukk, not the other way around.
That man has the same accountabilty for what happed as Tictac's ex-wife.
Accountable to who? God?
The difference is the consequences for the ex wife and for mr. bad boy are radically different.
Consequences?
What? The 1% chance that the husband does track you down and try to beat your ass?
I would venture to say that you are just as likely to get punched hitting on a random chick in a bar.
This is nothing but a rationalization.
Your view is that they all can, and the vast majority of them will, so you may as well never get married or just mentally prepare yourself for the impending debauchery your wife will engage in.
No, my view is to never get married, but if you do get married for whatever reason, you remain cognizant of the possibility and you MAINTAIN FRAME to minimize the chances of it happening. If it does, then you DUMP THE B!TCH and don't look back.
Are you at 7000 posts yet?
Why? Can't handle stuff that makes you uneasy?

If a person feels it's wrong to sleep with the buddy's wife than it's just as wrong to sleep with some other guy's wife.
Apples to oranges.
In the context of social dynamics in the mating game, morals and ethics are virtually useless. In the context of society in general, they are very useful. If I sleep with a buddy's girl, I stand to lose a lot. If I sleep with the wife of a stranger, I have little to lose.
And the truth is most of the guys would sleep with their buddy's wife in the right circumstances.
I agree. But THAT is treading dangerous waters.
If a married woman came on to me, I wouldn't say I'd neevr sleep with her, but I probably wouldn't. But if I did I sure wouldn't say what I did was the right move.
C'mon man. there is no right and wrong when it comes to this stuff. Society has brainwashed you into thinking there is so the game can be played ON you but not BY you. Think back to how many times you have been cheated on, lied to, etc. Who came out ahead? It wasn't you, aside from the fact that you learned who you were dealing with and were then able to act accordingly.
