"Men are more likely to be devoted and loyal husbands when they lack a particular variant of a gene that influences brain activity, researchers announced yesterday -- the first time that science has shown a direct link between a man's genes and his aptitude for monogamy. The finding is striking because it not only links the gene variant -- which is present in two of every five men -- with the risk of marital discord and divorce, but also appears to predict whether women involved with these men are likely to say their partners are emotionally close and available, or distant and disagreeable. The presence of the gene variant, or allele, also seems predictive of whether men get married or live with women without getting married."

duh everyone knows this but you're still gonna get blamed... deal with it.

i've always thought that men were more likely to cheat because that's how we developed - mating with every woman possible is the best way to spread your genes...this argument doesn't hold true for women, though, since they spend 75% of the time pregnant

i don't condone cheating in the first place, but i've always believed there was a genetic base for the urge

good luck actually using this as an excuse

BUT IF HE'S CHEATING, IT'S NOT IN HIS JEANS, AMIRITE

9/3/2008 11:28:03 AM

HES RIGHT

9/3/2008 11:35:45 AM

so who's fault is it when a woman cheats?

9/3/2008 11:49:20 AM

yeah yeah yeah

men are genetically programmed to "spread their seed"

and women are genetically programmed to "trade up"

so guys use their genes as an excuse to want to fuck other women

and i just use my genes as an excuse to get with someone better. its better for my offspring anyway

see how men will just hit whatever they can get their hands on. women are more selective and want the best possible mate to have the most awesomest offspring in the land.

i myself prefer quality over quantity anyway

I still think the outcome of a situation where you have a choice is your fault

Genes are a weak excuse in this case

9/3/2008 11:56:20 AM

like 500 pound people waddling around, the choice to eat that big mac and large fry with a diet coke

9/3/2008 12:03:50 PM

HEY MAN ITS JUST FOR THE TASTE OF IT

9/3/2008 12:14:14 PM

9/3/2008 12:14:31 PM

9/3/2008 12:15:44 PM

What about women?

My husband doesn't have it in him to cheat, but OMG, I do!

9/3/2008 1:05:24 PM
