There is another possibility: People who are already married are the most desirable (and have found mates faster), and so these are also likely to be the most desirable people. A great book was written about this called "The Third Chimpanzee." It detailed a lot of the patterns of extramarital sex. |
Thats assuming of course that everyone wants to get marrried as soon as they can. We're a little different to chimps, in that our lives are longer and the rush to reproduce is not so urgent.
In my exp., many of the most attractive people stay single longer than average. Attractive women can wait for that perfect partner to appear for a long time, because they know attracting someone any time they want will not be a problem. They also tend to have more career opportunities and often like to concentrate on having a life than making babies and changing nappies.
Its an interesting topic...of course. no definite answers I think. |

hahahha. I'm surprised someone made a thread about this.
I teach a class 4 days a week that uses Teen Times as its source of conversation.
The author "Joseph Chan" is a pain in the "behind". In last week's Teen Times, he had the same article but about women. If you trace back the past 5 Teen Times, he talks about relationships and depressing crap. Check out the first one and you will find out that his lady dumped him (yes, he does say it). See a pattern here? His lady dumps him, he writes and article in the Teen Times about it, a week later he writes about how angry he is, two weeks later he writes an aritcle about women cheating in a relationship, etc. LOL. This guy is comical. Even my students picked up on it. |
Mr Chan should seek some counselling and not use a newspaper for teenagers to advertise his emotional problems.
Or he can just "suck it up" and get on with it.

Relationships...be they marriages, BF/GF, business, gay, whatever will always break up for one of two reasons; sex or money. Cheaters...obviously...sex. Someone is not happy sexually....so find someone who will turn me on.
If a person is 100% happy sex wise...I don't think they would cheat.
It's about making your partner pleased and vice versa. |

I think that's a simplification. You're saying that a financially well off couple that has good sex will never break up? What about growing apart, developing majorly different interests or values? Stopping liking each other. Dissagreeing over politics, childrearing, leasure time. What about if one has alcoholism or some other debilitating bad habit? What if the man becomes violent or abusive, or if he stops listening?
I can't see breaks up only coming down to those two things... |

| And it's not rare that you will see one guy who has six or seven kids and that a lot of women will pass over lots of other guys just to find him. To me, there is more about hormones/ raw biological instinct going on than logic there. |
I think is a reason for that though.
That guy with a fairly rampant sexual life.. knows what to say and how to manipulate a woman.
The other guys don't.. those guys get passed over. Sadly those guys miss out.
Same with the women.. they have to be smart enough to read through that. Many of them aren't. It also doesn't help out that the socially inept men are so inept.. and the socially skilled are so skilled at it. Once the socially inept does become skilled at it.. they'll be able to meet so many women that then they aren't the 'relationship' type anymore either. |
