"Genetic Factors Influence Female Infidelity - Study"

Here's an opportunity for a whole new kind of dating service.

Oh, then it's Ok. I was gonna divorce my wife for being a quick out of the pants Ho. The girl can't help it. It's a medical condition.

It seems everyday there's a new gene found that explain something. Religious gene, female infidelity, gay gene...

[Anvilhead]

At times like this I just keep thinking of that one Jack Nicholson line.

Woman:
How do you write women so well?

Jack:
Simple, I just think of a man then take away reason and accountability.

ROFL! Good one.

Female Twins.......infidelity..........

Stop it imagination!

[My2Cents]

Maybe there's a "left-wing gene," and it can be cured by gene therapy.

Exactly! That's what they want us to think. Nobody needs a good family influence. Cheating is hereditary. No one can help it. Give more money. Raise taxes. Forget the "value' influence on voting.

Here's some feel-good, it's-not-your-fault psycho-babble horsehockey from jolly old England.

According to this some women are born sluts.

They better remember to let the Lord know what their findings where, because He is not going to be able to hold people responsible for breaking that seventh commandment of His... right??? Where is a lightening bolt when you need one!

And when they die they become honky tonk angels.

[BenLurkin]

Oooh . . . classic!

[Nosterrex]

I suggest that before one gets married that a genetic test be administered. (I'm being sarcastic)

[lonevoice]

They studied the responses of 1,600 pairs of identical and non-identical twins in a confidential survey to look at the impact of genes on behavior. "We found that around 40 percent of the influence on the number of sexual partners and infidelity were due to genetic factors,"

Unless they say otherwise in the study, I would assume most (maybe all?) of the pairs of twins were raised in the same household. How then can they separate genetic factors versus environmental?

All these studies just seem to be the eugenics movement getting their ducks in a row...
