It’s Human Nature, Really?
There is nothing more distracting to a good weekend of football then breaking gossip news reports about a high profile sports figure having an affair. I take that back, there is one thing more distracting, when said prominent sports figure allegedly argues with his wife and wrecks his SUV about having an affair.
While Tiger Woods is making all attempts at damage control, a lot of people are speculating about the entire situation. As always, a lot of people subscribe to the school of thought that anyone who is wealthy and powerful will never remain faithful. Then others think that monogamy is simply not natural. This argument always perplexes me because I have yet to see it this way.
What does it mean that it’s human nature to cheat? Is that logic simply based on biology?
I remember telling a guy that I wanted to be like the penguins and mate for life. He argued back that they ALL look alike, so of course it is easier for them to mate for life. GREAT. So much for my envy of penguin love!
Why do you think our society today views infidelity as a “natural” thing? It no longer shocks or awes us, does it?
Do you think our generation is learning a different perspective about fidelity? Ladies, were you told outright or indirectly that all men cheat? Is it something you were conditioned to prepare for and deal with when it happened?
Guys how do you think your views on fidelity were shaped? What is your position on monogamy being unnatural?

People who lack self control cheat. People who don’t value monogamy cheat. Today’s view on monogamy is based upon the idea of instant gratification without concern for the resulting consequences.

I was just told women can’t do what men do and women who cheat espcially first and get caught are doomed to hell….A natural doudble standard to me that can’t be argued…It is what it is…I just feel some men (women) really master this act while others fall short and get caught up….Then again it’s many women (men) who tolerate and turn their heads to the act and hold together the business partnership….Cheating goes way back and when I discovered by folk in the church I may have to go with it’s human nature bc he it a real act that occurs more often than we speak of….just my thoughts…..lol

Good morning All! Hope everyone enjoyed the holiday with family & friends or just your bottle of Holiday Spirits.
Was speaking with my dad this weekend about this topic. He states he doesn’t feel that all men cheat. He said he feels there is a small percentage of men who are faithful that wouldn’t cheat but of THAT percent…if given the opportunity of knowing the secret would never be found out…that they would do it. So go figure!
I wasn’t necessarily taught that all people cheat growing up, but I have heard it more often as an adult. I do believe as our society has grown technology wise (from pagers, to cell phones to laptops to internet, etc) as well as more media-fed/aware that it shapes for more distracting atmosphere. Access and distraction are a result of these advances. Our fast food world has bred an environment where folks are driven by instant gratification. As time goes on, values & moral foundations seem to wain. JMO

To put in terms evryone can relate to: for some men, the appeal of eroticism is the same as a “sale” sign is for some women. It’s an instinct. Not everyone acts on it but the natural, split second, instinctive response is the same. Men are shamed for having that impulse and women are encouraged to act on the “sale” sign impulse. Hence black friday. Nice circle back there, eh?

I do not believe that all men cheat. Some do actually value committment when they make one.
Do you think our generation is learning a different perspective about fidelity?
Now, this is a loaded question in itself. It could be its’ own blog topic IMO. This generation is very different. I will just say that some of the kids that I have come in contact with are very loose sexually, take too many risks and seem to have no standards. Fidelity is not high on the priority list. Instant gratification is the main priority and some of them will get from whomever is offering (male or female or both). When my friends 18 year old daughter said that she was meeting her girls down for a night out at the strip club so that she could try to find a good man, I pretty much threw up my hands. It truly is a different time.

First of all, I hope that everyone enjoyed turkey day and was able to eat, rest and relax.
Now, is cheating human nature? I think it depends on what type of animal you relate to the most.
Are you a rat? Mate frequently like there is no tomorrow.
Are you a swan? Mate for life.
Maybe you are a dog? Running around the community providing your services to anything in heat.

Cheating is an act of convenience and pride.
If one has an overvalued (or under in some cases) sense of self and the opportunity to cheat, it’ll happen.

Now,some here are going to tell yu that,”oh,my man has neva cheated as far as I know”..see,thats the thing…the opportunity has not presented itslef and it may neva..but thats beside the point.
Every woman,if it were me,should view every man as such and then take steps to mitigate against that happening..If u do that,u gangsta coz u know whats up and u doing whats required to protect ur relationship.
The pple who believe in the purity of men…I pity them coz they hurt the most when the reality sets it…..

Good morning everyone. Hope all of you enjoyed your Thanksgiving with friends, family and loved ones. Out of all things to be thankful for, I must admit the best time I had was with lil leggs helping me clean the greens all the while this off-tune rugrat is singing in my ear everything from Cold Play, Green Day, Maroon 5 to Taylor Swift. I stood there amused wondering why she wasn’t belting out any hip hop tunes. Just having her by my side helping made me feel really good! Dinner was FAB!
I do not believe all men cheat. I feel those that cheat due so because they lack self-control, respect for their mate and are very selfish. All can turn off their sexual proclivities if they so chose to. I have never understood the strong desire to fulfill a sexual encounter with someone other than your mate all the while throwing caution, respect and honor to the wind!

Yes. Maybe Steve will keep THIS woman.
I think it’s great that he has had such great business opportunities. However, sometimes I think the man is full of it from a relationship “expert” perspective. Next month Hill Harper will probably be on the cover talking about sustaining Black love. But, when you ask him about his own love life you hear crickets.
and with that I’m outta here!

How in the world can you take steps to ‘mitigate against’ cheating happening in your relationship??? There, i’m sure, are women or men who are GREAT partners in their relationship who try their best not to have their partner lack for anything but yet still get cheated on. Unless you strap your spouse/partner to your back, take them everywhere they need to go and wipe their hiney’s when they take a poop I don’t believe there is anyway to CHEAT PROOF your relationship because if a person has that want or desire in their spirit it will happen. It’s called Free Will…
My uncle told one of his friends to just dabble gasoline on your hands or wrists after a night of cheating so it can drown out any signs/smells from the other women & your spouse will never know…try that on for size. lol

I have been told by some very trusted men that all men do not cheat. It like everything else is a choice you make.
Because they don’t cheat does not mean the temptations aren’t there. It just means they choose to withstand those temptations.
Some people not only take their marriage and vows to heart, some also know that it’s not worth losing what you have for something that can turn out to be far less.

But to answer ur point,at any company u have ever wrked for…however sophisticated they may be in their risk mitigation efforts,pple still steal.But they cannot let down,they take all reasonable precautions.
Its the same way..there is no way u can control somebody who wants to just do it..but there is way u can reduce that happening to a good man or woman without leaving them to too much temptation.
For example,there are woman on this blog who have said they wont want to date nor marry a proff athelete.Pudsy here,pudsy there..u see my point.
U get it…?? U can stop it if smebody is bend on doing it openly and sissing u..but if ur guy came to u and said hes going out with some single chics to a party while u at wrk….how do u view that…??

I was pleased with how dinner turned out – for the most part. I wasn’t crazy about how the mac-n-cheese or the sweet potato pies turned out. But TheDude loved EVERYthing and so did his buddy that came and had dinner with us. So, I’d call it a success.
Since this was the first time not being a part of a ‘cooking committee’ and actually cooking of all that damn food by myself – that was some bllsht. I am really glad I planned it out over three days. If I’d waited until Thursday morning to do all of that, we would have ended up at Legg’s house or McDonald’s.
I am a fairly good cook, but I don’t cook because I love to/like to or even enjoy it. I cook because I need to eat and that’s how you keep a man.
(Leggs didn’t use your mac-n-cheese recipe because I wanted a smaller dish.)

I agree that cheating just takes too much energy. That energy that can be used trying to right what is wrong in your relationship. If you try to make it right and it doesn’t work maybe it’s time to get out instead of doing all the sneaking and hiding to be with someone for only minutes of carnal pleasure. It ain’t worth it.
And if it’s an emotional bond that you are seeking outside of your relationship that is definitely a sign to get out.

Elaborate? Christopher Columbus’s theories about the nature of the planet, at a time when over half of it was unknown to the civilization he lived in, was a burning passion that consumed him for years until he was able to persuade anyone to finance his exploration, and then due to the extreme financial windfall to be realized if a more direct trade route to the orient was reached. Now, everyone knows that — elementary school children know that. To characterize it as an example of male disregard for consequences is just stupid!
Einstein didn’t directly participate in A-bomb development.
Just sayin. It’s all for entertainment, sure, but even jokes need to be funny, else they ain’t jokes — just that stupid thing you said. Get it? Not to diss you too badly. It’s all in fun, really, even when the fun is in making fun of someone else.

Chick 1: Ohhhh hayo naw..how are you going to call 6 kids a ’situation’? That’s funny.
Chick 2: And they are different baby mama’s too. Not sure how many though
Chick 1: Well I sure as hayo hope he’s not looking for someone to have the next kid with. I need to make sure he doesn’t even breathe on me.

The lady was mad saying she cannot deal with all this upfront talking and stuff.
Now, that was funny because I think she may have been offended that he called her out. She may have been thinking “engineer w/$$$ (so what he’s married)” and he’s knowing all he has to offer was sex, no $$$.
@SlimOne, that about sums up Mariah’s character. So what she turned away to wipe a tear from that one eye when Mo’nique was telling her story. If you want to show some range of emotion do it so the camera/audience can see it. Hell, I can cock my head to the side, turn away and wipe a tear away. Don’t need any acting coaches to show me how to do that!
Off topic ~ I stopped at a neighboring waterhole after the movie yesterday with a girlfriend. I was casual with sneakers, jeans, sweatshirt and cap on my head. She was in boots, tight jeans and sweater with a long arse horse’s hairpiece clipped to the middle of her head. It was nice, but very long. Anyway, we’re sitting there with our beer and wings. This guy walks up to us and asks me my name. I told him and introduced him to my friend. He asked if he could sit with us for a moment. Just then her phone rang and it was from a dude she’s been waiting to hear back from for the past 7 days. She eagerly steps outside and the man sits down next to me. A few idle chatter and she comes back in. She sees him give me his number and he walks away. This heifer had the nerve to say: Here I am dressed in a nice outfit and you’re sitting here with cap and sweatshirt on getting someone’s number. I told her plain and simple, some men like the naturalness of a woman and kept it moving….

I would say it probably is human nature to cheat, but that’s not a justification for doing so. Fidelity is a conscious choice to defy those carnal temptations for the sake of your relationship — and that’s what makes it a special thing. If it were human nature to be monogamous, then doing so would be no big deal.
As for Melo’s hypothesis of the air-tight, no-chance-of-getting-caught situation… I can only answer for myself in saying that I honestly don’t know what I would do in that situation. I would like to say that I wouldn’t, but the truth is, I can’t say that for certain.
What I can say, and what I make a point to do always, is that I try to handle my business in such a way so as to never put myself in that situation. Aside from the obvious situations to avoid, I also make sure that Mrs. Swiss has access to all of my financial information, knows all of my computer passwords, phone passwords, etc. — so that I have no easy way of keeping secrets from her. Temptation is part of life, but it can be mitigated if your SO means enough to you to do so.

I think cheating is the same today as it was any other time period in history. Long time ago people swept things under the rug and gave an illusion of a happy family not to mention most men back then could do as pleased because they were the provider…no child support laws and divorce was an abomination so people just accepted more and got away with more back in the day.

Only an idiot is promiscuous. Rather than realize up front the extreme hassles of having to deal with more than one chick at a time — and/or thinking that they won’t have to deal with them — idiot-boys go for easy scores and fill up entire baggage trains. Newsflash, it ain’t worth it, and everyone already knew that. To be married and promiscuous is even more idiotic. There are no situations in which there’s no way you can get caught — that would require both parties to not be idiots, and promiscuity already demonstrates that both are idiots!
Don’t bother asking a promiscuous chick their real ‘number’, because they’ll never tell you the truth about it — nope, never. Don’t bother. In fact, just don’t ask, anyway. Chances are you don’t really want to know.

I thought the new blog was suppose to STOP being a greedy machine and not eat our posts!!!
“The lady was mad saying she cannot deal with all this upfront talking and stuff.”
I think she may have gotten mad because he called her out. She saw an “engineer w/$$$”, and he saw a woman willing to take his number after being told he was married for a sexual encounter.
Off topic ~ I met a gf at the movie casually dressed. I had on sneakers, jeans, sweatshirt and cap on my head. She had on boots, tight jeans tucked inside and a tight sweater with a long horse tail hair piece stuck to the middle of her head. After leaving the movies yesterday, my gf and I stopped at a neighboring waterhole for beer and wings. A little into our time there, this man stops my our table and introduces himself to me. I introduce the both of us to him. Her phone rings and it’s the guy she’s been waiting to hear back from for the past 6 days…6 days and he hadn’t returned any of her calls or texts. She jumps up and eagerly exits to the parking lot. When she returns she see him writing his number down for me. When he says bye to the both of us the h e i f e r says she surprised anyone approached me with me so casually dressed. I looked at her and said as politely as I could muster “you know, a lot of men like to see the naturalness of a woman, and not all that beauty hype and hair accessories.” That shet her up for a few!

Hi, SlimOne…
The way I see it, if I wanted to continue being a man-wh@re, I would have stayed single. I’ve had my share of (risky) fun, but I’m older now & past all that foolishness. I wouldn’t have gotten married if I didn’t want it to last, so I’m going to do everything I can to make sure it does. And, of course, it helps that I’ve got the finest lil’ mama I’ve ever laid eyes on waiting for me at home…

Nah, I ain’t mad at chicks! That’s an easy one, though — you can double the number a chick will tell you, and cut the number in half a man will tell you, or something like that.

Dang Leggs~ even if she thought that she should not have said that mess. We were talking about the same thing this weekend. About how everyone dresses up in Atlanta and you do not see blue jeans and sneakers instead you see nice stilletos with premium jeans and the LV or Gucci bag. Well I am happy to know that it is still appreciated. Have you spoken to dude yet? Keep us posted on the connection.

@Swiss (I wouldn’t have gotten married if I didn’t want it to last, so I’m going to do everything I can to make sure it does)
Well, you are one who walked into the marriage with what it was intended for. Many folks get married these days to shut the nagging gf/baby mama up…or just to keep the chick from going elsewhere so they get married but continue to live life of a single person. Or some chicks get married for sake of money, living the life, etc…folks to it all for different reasons.

Immature men tend to cheat, for sure. I’m a firm believer in the “sowing your wild oats” theory for both men and women. Try the book Act Like a Gentleman, Think Like a Woman for an unusual but true take on this stuff.

@Professor ~ I know, right! Oh well. She kept running her hands through that hair distracting me. Listening to her last night reaffirmed what a lot of us talk about on this blog. He has verbablly told her what he want and what he doesn’t want, but she’s not hearing him. I had to take her by her shoulders and repeat what he said thinking if she heard those same honest words from my mouth she might get a chance to really hear. Here it goes:
Dude: I’m sorry I haven’t been returning your calls but I’ve been thinking.
Her: Thinking about what?
Dude: Thinking about us and that although I really like you, we aren’t going to work out. I don’t want to to date a parent on the team. I want to keep my dates out of my business being a coach. But you can come over tonight and we can talk.
Her: Ok, I’ll come over so we can talk.
ME: If you go over there you will be talking on your back because he already told you the two of you won’t work. He’s doesn’t want to date any parents on the team.
Her: No, he wants to talk so when he calls I’m going over.
Her call to me this morning: Whining…he didn’t call me back.
ME to her: Well, listen to what he said by not calling back. Keep it moving and don’t push up on someone who doesn’t want to be pushed up on!!! The scent of eagerness/desperation on any woman stinks!

Cheating is cool when its not happening to you.. See its no fun when the Rabbit got the gun.. Once you have gone thru a situation where you have been cheated on by the one YOU love.. It Sucks Donkey Ballz.. The random thoughts of your babe being plowed by another dude should be enough to wake you up to cheating.. Its way easier to be honest.. Tell people what you want and expect so when its not there you bounce without the guilty conscience.. I used to be a big cheater but now I tell it upfront as to what it is so the chick can say whether or not she wants to get with this PIMPIN..
