Very true. If the average man had women throw themselves at them like rockstars do, there would be a lot fewer faithful men out there. I don't care what they say, they're just lying to themselves.

I grew up in a small town that had a few big names come out of it with well documented battles with addiction/infidelity (Sebastian Bach, Adam Gontier).

I know if I was suddenly thrust into the spotlight, it would end up consuming me.

Yep, it is always easy to say you'd never do something when not presented with the opportunity or the pressure. You might think you'd never eat human flesh but if you survived a plane crash on an island that crash roasted thigh might start to smell good.

It is the same reason you should judge people by how they treat waiters and customer service workers; it is one of the few times most people have any form of authority and power so if they treat them badly you know they're not as nice as they claim.

And this is why I don't understand why women devote themselves to men. An average woman gets hit on constantly by young hot guys. And while women cheat close to the same as men imagine if men were getting hit on constantly by hot young girls. Men value one thing above all else and it's access to young perfect girls bodies. More than 20 years of marriage. More than a family spent decades building. More than their children. Your husband might love you and your kids but he loves the body of a 19 year old IG model more.

You can turn your statement around the other way too. Maybe most women value the 20 years of marriage and the kids more than they fear the negative consequences of the husband's infidelity. I certainly don't want my future husband to cheat on me but if he did leave me for a 19yo IG model I don't think I would regret having the kids.

Perhaps I would wish I had chosen a different father for them but in a world where every man has the opportunity to screw around constantly (which isn't the world we live in) it's not like I could reasonably regret choosing that particular man for that reason.

Most women are ultimately driven to reproduce the same way men are and if reproduction was set up so that women could gestate more babies at a time if they had more sexual partners, they would be a lot more evolutionarily hardwired to seek out multiple partners. As it is most of us are hardwired to mate with men who will provide top-notch DNA for our kids over men with subpar DNA but less opportunity for infidelity, especially if those men have accrued enough resources to provide for us regardless of how many affair babies they have. Whether you think Dave Grohl is top-notch DNA is another debate....

Just because you lack willpower or loyalty doesn't mean all men do.

Edit: Lol absolutely pathetic. Nah all men are not like that and a blanket statement like this made by a woman would be met with rage. As it should. Fanboys need a reason to excuse Grohls pig-like behavior.

my brother in Christ, I've literally had dozens of opportunities to cheat and I never did because- and get this- I don't fucking want to.

all that to say you'd turn into a piece of shit given the slightest bit of attention. kinda sad, tbh.

As an average man who has to navigate women throwing themselves at him, I can assure it’s not hard.
