"Brilliant men always betray their wives" And only foolish men believe that.

PERFECT.

Oh boy, somehow I don't think sex addiction is either a necessary or sufficient condition for greatness. The world is full of both dull sex addicts and brilliant gentleman.

To give just one example, Teddy Roosevelt was as brilliant, risk-taking, high energy (if not manic) a man as was ever elected president, but I've never read of any rumors that he ever committed adultery.

Intelligence trumps morality.

Our arboreal relatives, the monkeys, simply fled up into the high branches when danger threatened and, while feeding, all they had to confront was a fruit or a berry. But when our early ancestors came down to live on the ground, they had to give up scampering aloft to escape and also had to face dangerous competitors and prey when turning to meat-eating as a new way of life.

To become successful hunters required a new personality trait - bravery. If the primeval hunters were to survive as carnivores they had to be courageous and take serious risks. The females of the tribe were too important to expose to these dangers - their vital reproductive role ruled them out. But the males were expendable. If, inevitably, a few of them were killed, the others could easily maintain the reproductive rate of the still very small tribes. So it was the males who evolved into the pack-hunters who would become genetically programmed as risk-takers and whose job it was to bring home the bacon.

So, according to his theory, society evolved into men becoming risk-takers (from the berry picking to meat eating).

As society continues to evolve and women have started to become more self-sufficient, are they now finding a thrill in risk-taking (in this context, cheating), too?

Hitlary rehabilitation?

anytime a story comes out of english press which benefits the clintons you have to wonder about them. Remember all the pro clinton spin from the national enquirers editorial (friends of bill) staff?

This looks like it was written to try and excuse Bill Clinton who is mentioned in the last paragraph.

Genius does not inevitably require an utter lack of self-control or moral turpitude.

I agree with you.

I just thought the article was interesting.
