I don't believe in moral absolutes. The fact that "all cultures" have condemned it means little.

That said, lying and cheating are normal behaviours. Some people are being themselves when they lie and cheat.
You still haven't addressed the meat of my post.

IMO lying is wrong. It's fine to have an open relationship if both parties agree to it, but to promise monogamy to someone and know you're deceiving them is wrong.

It isn't wrong because society says so. It is wrong because when you cheat, you lie.

There would be no problem if people--and let's face it, we're mostly talking about men here--would have the guts to admit they'd rather be non-monogamous. Trouble is, men know that if they made that admission, their dating pool would likely dwindle significantly. So, rather then make the extra effort to meet women (or men) who are non-monogamous, they lie. They lead women (or men) to think they are being monogamous, when in fact they aren't. Cheaters are just chickens.

Cite a study, you ****ing dolt.
Elliot Spitzer? He's alive. Thomas Jefferson?

Sorry, I'm not a sociologist. Though I am sure somewhere such a study could be found. Since I wouldn't be paid for it, I'm not interested.

Backing up what? Our opinions? Look - if you want to cheat - go ahead and cheat. You won't be arrested. You just might wake up with half your member cut off.

yes, violence solves all.

As for backing up, he couldn't back up his supposed fact that humans are not monogamous.

Hey - I'm not condoning violence or cheating. Haven't you heard of Lorena Bobbitt? I'm merely warning you of the possible consequences!

Oh - and I also don't condone calling people names. But that's just me.
