Just as many married women are always looking for the next best thing too. Don't try and play it off like guys are the only ones cheating here. I'd give it 50/50

I have seen this a good number of times. I know married guys with kids who proposition other women they dont even know are interested in them!

I mean it's one thing if a woman is all over you (not that I agree with that), but to go out and seek it. Thats pretty bad IMO...

Lol...

I don't beleive it either. Women are the ones that primarily file for divorce, it's not because she was cheating -- it's because he was. MOST women with their kids are not looking to uproot the whole family for another man that she picked up (where? at the playground, the grocery store?). Usually she have put up with his cheating for a long time in an effort to keep the family together. She either couldn't take it anymore or he ran off. that's why they file more then men.

so what exactly ARE they 'programmed' to do? We know the laundry list of things they aren't 'responsible' for already.

I'm not so sure I buy that. Is it proven there is a specific gene for that?

It is different for women too. With my relevant dating stats, in NYC I am a 6 and in OKC I am a 9.

Actually, there's some evidence that women aren't either. But in strongly patriarchal societies, they're expected to be. There's a male ownership mentality involved.

GET THE HELL OFF THE DAMN ONLINE 'DATING' SITES NOW!

Do it NOW and never ever EVER look back. I swear... online dating has made many men absolutely BITTER and they continue to fail to realize that it is rigged AGAINST them. Period.

Just do it... NOW!
I agree. Thats why advise men to go out in the field and to use online dating as a supplement. You dont have to go out to bars or clubs. Go to restaurants, book stores, malls, apple stores, walmart etc..

There are a alot of pretty single women at those locations.
