“Researcher from the University of Texas in Austin tried to answer the question so many people pose: Why do men cheat more than woman when they know that this behavior is self-destructive and will cause the people they love suffer? The conclusion was that men and woman have exactly the same desire to cheat as their partner. It just happens that woman have more self-control.”*
“Brief encounters without any emotional involvements the part of man,and with the sole aim of satisfying sexual urges,enable the preservation and proliferation of the species. Intelligent woman should not blame men for this. They try to resist,but they are biologically inclined to do it…”*
“Have you noticed how human beings are more frightened by spiders and snakes than by automobiles despite the fact that deaths from traffic accidents are more frequent? This occurs because our minds are still living in caveman times,when snakes and spiders were lethal. The same thing happens with a man’s need to have multiple woman. In those times he went hunting,and nature taught him that preservation of the species is a priority;you must get as many woman pregnant as possible.”*
“…But while man’s commitment to the species lasts,at most,eleven minutes,for the woman,each child means at least nine months of pregnancy. Not to mention having to take care of the offspring,feed it,and protect it from danger like spiders and snakes. So your instincts were developed differently. Affection and self-control become more important.”*
I originally thought it’s a story about adultery;however at the end of it I surprisingly found it more related to love.
Like what is said in the Bible:
“Love is patient,love is kind.
It does not envy,it does not boast,it is not proud.
It does not dishonor others,it is not self-seeking,it is not easily angered,it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects,always trusts,always hopes,always perseveres.
Corinthians 13:4-7 New International Version (NIV)”**
“愛是恆久忍耐，又有恩慈；
愛是不嫉妒；
愛是不自誇，不張狂，
不作不合宜的事，不求自己的益處，不輕易發怒，不計算人的惡，
不因不義而歡樂，卻與真理同歡樂；
凡事包容，凡事相信，凡事盼望，凡事忍耐。
～哥林多前書十三章”***
“…man’s commitment to the species lasts,at most,eleven minutes,…”
What does it really mean? Is it true? For many,it might be even much shorter,right?
We should be full of gratitude that our mothers had made right decisions to let us have a chance to taste the good and bad of this world.
As a man we need to know at the end of the day it’s woman that make the call. We men are only vehicles for the delivery. Adultery? Then as vehicles suppose should not be blame too much…
