We have all heard the theories that men cheat because they are biologically driven to do so - i.e. - spread their seeds, can't resist a beautiful woman, monogamy is unnatural, etc.
If men are driven to cheat and monogamy impossible to maintain - why should a woman bother to fall in love with a man? Or more specifically, why should I bother? It seems like asking for heartache and unhappiness. It's like buying a house you know is going to burn down or petting a dog you know will attack you. What is the point .
BTW - I am not asking this to bash men. I know plenty of women cheat too but I am not dating a woman so my question isn't about them. I am a single woman who has never cheated but am surrounded by men (friends and family) who have. They all claim to love their wives but need sexual variety.
So please tell me why I should go down same painful road that other women before me have already gone down? I would rather be alone than be brokenhearted.
Biology isn't destiny, not for men any more than it is for women. (Women are also biologically "programmed" to cheat. They're also programmed to have kids. But some choose not to.) Humans have evolved higher functions of the brain that can over-ride the more primitive part of the brain. Some humans routinely use those higher functions. Others, haha, don't as much. The latter types are the ones you want to avoid.

I also heard the economy is bad, Crime is on the rise, unemployment is getting worse....and yet I still get up every day. If you don't want to date, that's your choice, but let it be based off things that YOU have experienced, not what other people are saying

How can you be brokenhearted if you don't date?
If you do not want to have a relationship because someone "could/might" cheat on you then don't.
Please refrain from complaing about being alone and lonely though because you allowed "what if" to control the way you live your life.
Anyone's home can burn down at any moment. Any dog can bite you at any time. Any cat can scratch you at any time. Any Mother can become upset at something that never upset her before. Any one can be different about the same thing at any moment.

Ive never cheated on a woman ..never!

So true so true, sad but true.
