MARRIAGE is the death of hope," Woody Allen once said. But not for everyone. In New York, where eligible men are few and far between, single women who endure long stretches of unwilled celibacy may resort to cheating with someone else's husband because it seems like the only hope - consequences be damned.
In December, I slept with a married man - late 50s, attractive, smart and successful. He's been with his wife forever, a lifestyle to which he is completely wedded, one that I had no intention of jeopardizing. Any guilt I might have felt was further assuaged by the fact that the man already had a roguish reputation. Since it had been two months that I'd gone without any skin-to-skin contact and I was too impatient to go through another round of dating rigmarole - the dinners, the chitchat, the sizing each other up - I reached out to him.
It was mid-afternoon when we met for a late lunch at a forgettable sushi place near 42nd Street. Since we weren't on a traditional "date," there was no need to conceal our vulnerabilities in order to make a good first impression. I was relaxed, and enjoyed being open with and appreciated by a man without even having to try.
Afterward, he put his arm around me and steered me to West 45th Street to Hotel QT, a sense of furtiveness lending a sexy dangerousness to our imminent entwinement. Entering the room, we anxiously pulled off our clothes, tearing back the bedcovers.
Last spring, a Time-CNN poll determined that while 90 percent of Americans say adultery is wrong, some type of infidelity occurs within half of all marriages. The reasons why seem obvious enough: boredom, loneliness, anger and, in cases when bedroom activities have simply died out,

Would you cover the Mona Lisa with a tarp? Would you bury Beethoven's 5th Symphony? NO, I tell you, NO!
The LazamaJohnson remains free.
Im more of a country music fan and personally i think the mona lisa's a bit of a double bagger if you ask me. :-p
Then I recommend you do not stare directly at the genitalia.
It'll damage your retinas.

"Why Married Men Are Hot"
I'm a busy man, and thus didn't have time to read whatever this article, but I know a few things on this topic.
As a handsome, witty and charming married guy, I know that women are always checking me out. Frankly it's getting tiresome. Ladies, I'm taken. I know that's difficult for you shikzas to come to terms with, but it's so. Now all you Exile craving ladies, just go home, eat a pint of Hagendaz and forget about my studliness. It's for your own good.
How much ya got?
Me and a married friend of mine did an experiment one day at a club on base in Germany.
For two hours at a club, he wore his wedding ring. He isn't what anyone would call "HOT", but a decent looking guy. He had 8 women come up and "talk" to him.
For two hours after that, he took the wedding ring off. No women came up to talk to him.
Makes you wonder what single women are looking for huh?
Enough to make ya cry.
"He's been with his wife forever, a lifestyle to which he is completely wedded, one that I had no intention of jeopardizing."
She had sex with him why then? People are sick..
I'm just amazed anyone could spend four hours in a club. In all my thirty years on this planet, I've never even been in one, nor wanted to.
I have eaten club sandwiches though, so I know of which I speak.
She had sex with him because she is a tramp and he is weak.
.....he said, busily typing away....
That small?
That's just a demonstration of the concept of "social proof". The ring demonstrates to any woman watching that the man is likely to be stable, reliable, probably at least a respectable earner, and experienced at sex and relationships. And women are always attracted to men they perceive to be experienced leaders.
There are, of course, ways for single men to demonstrate social proof without wearing a fake ring, but they are beyond the scope of this topic. The popularity of your ring-wearing friend, though, is testimony to how few single men have any idea what they are. ;)
All things considered, I recommend you grow zuchinis.
What, on my body?
