Maybe the 5-6 has a better iPhone than your 8-9 sister?

It's stupid to rate people with numbers. You sound like you're trying to work out an algebra problem.

People get with whoever they want to get with, and the "math" will not always make sense to you. If people only are as faithful as their options, even the lesser numbers are also options.

People still do that? They marry the maid? I've come across that in history books, but not IRL in my lifetime. Hitler's dad married the maid. Der Fuhrer was the product of that marriage.

This happens because people are not set in stone, they are very wishy washy, what they want one day may be different the next. Feelings change, relationships are not always constant, and people change significantly everyday. Although, you want to make sense of this, there is no way you can. You were not in that relationship, you are not your sister, her ex, or the other girl. No matter how perfect someone appears to be, it guarantees nothing. ALL relationships carry some type of risk. People are imperfect and they do stupid inconsiderate things. Human nature has taught us this time and time again.

One person's "10" may be another person's "-10." I just wish people could get a grasp on this instead of just asking why, why, why? All the time when the answer is RIGHT there.

Alpha complex...you get two types of guys who fall under that category: Type 1 - the guy who runs around pissing on everything and banging every woman that he can in a display of power, and Type 2 - the protector who has to take care of everybody and everything that he can just because. There's sort of a yin and yang type of relationship between the two, and Type 2 is a unicorn of sorts but does exist.

Moral of the story, most guys kind of suck.

That's an old Chris Rock joke. It is meant to suggest that the guy is only as faithful as his options, meaning that if he is attractive, charismatic or successful in some way, the more women will be willing to sleep with him. Therefore, he is more likely to be faithful if he doesn't have that many options. No doubt there are some that buy into that theory, but certainly not all men.

What your example clearly illustrates is that her attractiveness has nothing to do with it. It has everything to do with his character. Look at the way he treated and used her. His lack of respect and entitled attitude is a clear indicator of the type of person who would cheat.

I agree which is why I told her to not be down about him being engaged. She called me and you can hear in her vocie how she badly wanted to ask what was wrong with her and what she did wrong that she couldn’t be the one he proposed to and she May not see it now but his new fiancé is not in for a dream come true marriage or life with him. And no she isn’t better than my sister. The same thing he did to my sister it’s likely he’s Gonna do it to her he proved that by still messaging my sister while with her. just this time it’s gonna involve a divorce and possibly kids so she’s lucky it didn’t get to that point with her and she got out of it with no extra baggage.

It's not about hotter.
It's about novelty/variety.

It's been studied and is the only independent variable that can predict a man's cheating: Opportunity

Does that mean every guy would? Hell, no. Men are not some giant group that shares the same brain and all acts alike.

But it is the only independent variable.

Why are you analyzing your sister love life or discuss it on a public forum? Its not nice, you know? Does she knows what you're doing? Don't you have your own life?
