    Feh. If people just had the stones to admit they want (and in fact deserve) more than one relationship–and worked on their jealousy–cheating wouldn’t exist. Monogamy ruins more relationships than anything else. More people should explore polyamory…but Dr. Susan Block says Americans would rather cheat and lie, since it’s perceived as ‘more normal’.

    Ross, you just described me to a “T”. Although I’ve been with many women since the bitch cheated on me…with my best friend…that I worked with and had to see on a daily basis, and couldn’t strangle the lifr out of, I never commit to the new girl and eventually she leaves. Oddly enough when this happens I feel….relief! I’ve escaped being hurt again and I can now concentrate on finding someone who is worth my time. The problem is, when does it stop? Any advice from the crew would be appeciated.

    I’m a woman who reads your posts. I have to agree wholeheartedly with KK. Monogamy is not a natural human condition. It’s almost impossible to achieve. Look at the reality of the statistics, not the Hollywood dream.I’ve been married for 30 years, we’ve both strayed at different times, we’re still very much in love and together, we’re human!I think the choice is to be tolerant and understanding of one another through the years, or change partners every few years. The choice is yours.

    Hey Ross,

    good to see this recent article kind of apt for me at the moment.. I was cheated on but in the back of my mind as she said, I made her doit, I was neglecting her for the last 2 months.. we’ve wiped the slate clean so to speak.. She did it with a neighbour, i kicked them both out my front room, she invited him in just to chat and wasnt expecting my response. It turned out to be a self-prophesing act of jealousy… She left afterward to go and chat with him in his place.. with a bottle of rose. It turned out later he took advantage, and it was a 10 minute quickie.. I’m now just playing a long.. we’ll see. I told her if she does it again I’m off. She now hardly see’s anyone, cos she knows my feelings.. oh by the way shes an escort.. but the man involved did’nt pay.. he just payed with his ears.. “he listened to me that night” she said.. I’m still pretty cut up about it tbh.. But you should see her when shes drunk. What was it it Regardie once said, something along the lines of “we’re all monkeys down here”.

    I was married for a long time, the marriage was a constant battle with a woman who always looked for things to go wrong, and was not disappointed in that regard. You’ve heard the song Love is a Battlefield, my marriage was not only a battlefield, but a mine field. I was tempted several times but never gave into the temptation to step out on my wife. At the end she would say anything to hurt me, including threatening to have sex with someone else. The hurtful shit was demoralizing to say the least. I now enjoy the speed seduction life, and do not regret finding it. I am healed now, and do not forsee a time in the near future when I could return to a monogamous lifestyle.

    Ross this is really important topic, thank you for bringing it up. Although most guys are lost in pick lines yet!

    Recently I was talking to a well-known PUA and he said “Insecure women are the most loyal ones”.
    Although that totally matches with my experience with my women, but I’m curios to find out if there are mature women out there who would still keep the commitment if the guy stops presenting value for a few days…. and we know all men do from time to time…

    I’m a married man, I’m 36, and I completely agree with KK and Claire !!!! My wife “started” first to see someone else. I was completely devastated. It took me 3 years to pass through and start living again. I did not divorce, and I do not regrete it. Today, I had myself a “second” affair, I had a lot lot lot of fun with her.

    This is how it goes. Human is not programmed to be monogam, and society is counter-human nature. Tolerance is the key.

    Pardon me for leaving emotional arguments aside, but sexologists know, as stated in “Sperm Wars” by Robin Baker, that around 8% of humanity is fathered/sired by a man other than the one regarded as the child’s father. The official “father” may know but you shouldn’t bet on it.

    Only 1% of a man’s sperm are the elite egg getters. The rest of the Millions of sperm are entirely for blocking or destroying another man’s sperm, or rather his opposing sperm army. This is the case with every human male alive on the planet today. Let that sink in. Personally, when I did it blew my mind.

    Why would such an extremely developed trait exist if it didn’t confer a (genetic) survival advantage? Our bodies, both men’s and women’s, go around shopping for the mate with the best genes they can get while our minds think they’re calling all the shots. Why is it peopel say they want one thing in a mate but respond to something else?.

    When the reptile brain sees a chance to better the odds of sending the genes into the future with better prospects, things “just happen”. There are risks involved but that’s all part of the UNCONSCIOUS calculation.I’m not going to argue Right or Wrong, just lay out the proven scientific facts and let the hysterical screaming begin.

    I really like the [scientific/evolutionary/game theory] perspective for making sense of the world. Much more effective than most of the models impressed on us at the age when it’s easiest to learn, especially for those of us subjected to an isolated religious education.

    For change-work, I think their effectiveness varies. Understanding is one thing, maybe it removes a barrier to change, but to actually make changes requires working with the deeper levels of the mind and body. That’s were Ross’ more recent work is so genius.

      Lots of problems with evolutionary psychology. It is very circular and there are no experiments you can do that would falsify it, since the proponents explain it all away with, “it has to be true since it has to have survival/replication value”.

      And as you point out, it’s quite useless for change-work.

    Hey Ross

    I’m dating a woman who I like alot, but I’m concerned about her past, mainly cheating on a couple of exes (and they never found out). I mean past behaviour = present / future behaviour right? Unless something changes in them.
