You can believe whatever you want. In addition to those statistics, I can give you tons of anecdotal evidence where the man got screwed and zero times when a woman got screwed (to be fair, many times when its at least fairly neutral though). There is a reason men are marrying less and less now and the MGTOW movement is so big. The only times I’ve EVER seen the man get custody was 1) once when the wife had turned into a drug addict and 2) the wife decides she wants to live a party lifestyle and doesn’t want to take care of the kids. I’ve never seen a case where a woman that wanted custody didn’t get it unless there were major issues (drugs, crime, etc). The alimony statistic is ridiculous. You simply cannot justify 33:1 in modern society.
Lot of reasons 1) apps like Tinder, bumble, etc make it VERY, VERY easy if you are a 9 or 10 man to find someone 2) so many forms of birth control/protection 3) stigma is nearly completely gone 4) ability to remove or treat STDs is up a lot from 20-30 years ago etc
“Women today feel entitled to cheat because they do most of the housework. That’s what this and other articles claim.”
Which only makes sense if it is a way of getting back at the husband. But the article does not mention that.
I think these women just have no respect for their husbands. And because of that they really want to tell them off.. but instead of telling them off they just do the most disrespectful thing possible. Then they can be all polite and nice to him knowing they already did something horrible to get back at him.
Have you ever noticed that the STD’s seem to stay ahead of the treatments for them? Make one treatable, there’s another one soon enough. Such behavior is a disease vector. Always has been, always will be. A loving God didn’t forbid promiscuity because he’s just a big meanie who doesn’t want us to have any fun. He forbids it to protect us.
He’s the most aggregious example I know - most guys I know are either 1) married and not cheating 2) doing the MGTOW thing and not sleeping with anyone 3) 0-2 a year but a handful of “hot” bad boys that are still sleeping around like crazy in their 30s with it appears just about anyone they want from my experience.
Couple hundred guys like that in a decent sized city, I’d imagine. Say, they come down with some “new” fatal sexually transmitted virus or incurable sexually transmitted MRSA. 200 guys, 50 women per year apiece, who go home to their husbands and deign to have sex in order to get something, then half of those husbands cheat on their wives. Do the math. Epidemic in very short order.
Depending on the speed to death and the % of transmission, something like that could get very scary indeed (especially if condoms didn’t work).
Part of it is propinquity. So much of the day, today’s husbands and wives are separated and surrounded by possibly more interesting seeming people. When women were home with kids, there weren’t many opportunities to bond with new men. And the new men seem more interested than the busy husband. I can see how it starts. Same way the men’s affairs do.
Back in the early 20th century, it would have been wrong for a salesman enter a woman’s home when she wasn’t home alone. The appearance of impropriety was huge. Now there is zero care about it, cops being stuck in a car together all day, no one ever thinks that might be a problem. And millions of people in offices are yoked together for lunches, late nights. DUH.
I have one friend who is unfaithful to the husband she claims not to like. But she likes the luxury vacations, the good schools her kids are in, because of his salary. And her husband travels a lot so she doesn’t care what he does on his trips, because she has her other guy. Who is as much of a jerk as her husband if not more. It’s not pleasant to see. And the kids would be devastated if they knew.
Condoms have a very unimpressive track record of preventing conception, so their ability to prevent spread of disease is questionable also. They slow it down, would be the best description.
You nailed it. It’s about lying. For your own selfish gimmes.
I sacrificed for many years to try and save my marriage (cheating was not at all involved). Because my kids are worth it.
I would never ever cheat because I am not a liar. And I won’t be a liar. Period. The right thing to do is to tell your spouse it’s over. And that means your family is over too, all for your selfish orgasms. Really? But you cannot have your family be safe and unhurt, and cheat on your spouse. When you cheat on your spouse, you are also cheating on the kids. And passing down the solution to rough times: be selfish and get your jollies at the expense of others.
At the very least, divorce the spouse.
IMHO, most marriages fall apart because people got married for the wrong reasons. One or more of the partners just does not have what it takes to be in a long term relationship.
The most important quality in a partner is: Sanity.
Alimony needs to be outlawed.
It makes no sense for a man to be ordered to pay the bills of a woman who is no longer his wife.
Big guys tear them, they fall off the little guys, and vigorous sex will cause them to roll up and come off even if properly applied regardless. So, a 2% fail rate right out of the box, plus “operator error” equals what? I’m recalling 20%.
Some men are complicit in a poor dynamic with women, because they refuse to require accountability from the women, instead saying “Yes dear” and “You’re right” to the women regardless of the truth of a situation.
Sounds about right
Men should only marry women who merit wearing white.
That’s a one in five chance of getting infected if using them to prevent disease transmission. So, Mr. Popular in your example is either infected himself or spreading the infection after a little over a month on average with his fifty hookups a year.
