It sure IS a great insight!

In a nutshell, the desire to be desired is not exclusive or owned by women.

Of course not. Only that more men than women are fine being desired by different women on single occasions...

There have been many threads about infidelity since I started posting here, and I remember some where men who had cheated and women who had slept with married men had posted. Many of them said that the wife was cold or derisive, while the "other woman" was warm, welcoming, flattering. He was lonely and she made him feel manly and desirable. Cheating is not a good thing, but I think it's very important to keep the home fires burning. Keep that light in your eyes for one another.

While some women may be like the wife by nature, most are not. They turn this way because of the problems and the lack of romance in the marriage. Most men don't realize the new woman will become exactly the same later should they not get their act together. Garbage in; garbage out... If you expect to put no effort into something and only reap rewards, it ain't gonna happen, no matter who the person is.

Yeah. What Julia said. Honestly idk why some men cheat. It's like what was the point of signing the marriage vows if you were gonna violate them to go for the newer model?

Women cheat too. It goes both ways.

That's true. Both have to work on keeping the love alive.

Of course, that only applies to those who plan to replace the wife. The smart ones just have something exciting on the side.
