Hey, longtime lurker. I'm in my mid-30s and dating a few different women (MLTRs). Wanted to run something by folks here to see if it's just me or their experience too.
Seems to me that women have a fundamental inability to understand the male sex drive and its overpowering need for sexual variety. They don't--and can't--understand at a gut level the desire that men have to bang tons and tons of beautiful women.
The reason I say this is because of all discussions I have with women, whether I'm dating them or not, about Tiger Woods and Jesse James and all the dudes in the news who have been caught cheating on their wives and girlfriends.
Every single woman I know, to the very last one, says something like "He has such a smart, beautiful wife, why would he be interested in screwing other women?"
Now I'm not here to discuss whether it's moral or not to screw around on one's wife/girlfriend, but I think as men we can all agree that the temptation is always there. Men have a drive to spread their seed far and wide, no matter how "smart and pretty" their wives are.
I just think it's fascinating how women are completely unable to fundamentally understand this drive. I realize that women are looking to find the "best" and convince him to stick around, but I would think that they could at least put themselves in men's shoes and see the world to some extent the same way. But they can't. They can't "grok" the male sex drive. They just don't understand.
I guess OTOH I don't understand what it's like to want to give birth to a kid, so I'm in the same boat, but it's still interesting to me. I don't even have those discussions with women anymore, because they can never get it. They just keep yammering on: "But he had such a great life, why would he jeopardize it all?" These days I just say, "Honey, there's no way you could understand," and leave it at that.
I used to say, "Honey, no matter how happy men are, they still want to screw everything that moves. It's nothing personal, it's testosterone." They'd just scratch their heads and go, "But his wife is so great."
