I had a random thought.
See in the olden days, a lot of.. lot of women died in childbirth.
Could that be why men needed to have multiple partners.. to increase the chances of having an offspring.
And women did not need multiple partners.

And thats why men still rove.
More than women.. people will say that its a myth.. but its largely true.. you can attribute it to social conditioning or whatever.

We draw our conclusions backwards.. and they can seem to fit and make sense.. but that does not mean that they were the cause.
Which means that we might not know many things.

  1. thats an established fact, males of a species are modeled so that they try to spread their genes as much as possible . .. but the poor guys of our species have been restricted to just one partner . . .our hormones must be fuming . . .

  2. Well you know no one's stopping anyone.
    I suppose men seem to have done a cost benefit analysis which has concluded in monogamy.

    Still you can accept age old wisdom or conduct the experiment again.

  3. thats not the result of a cost benefit analysis you know . . . its what separates us from animals, i cant think of anything else that does . . .

    i think dogs are better at everything else, they're more loyal, fitter and generally seem to be enjoying life more. . .noticed how they're always ready to play? no mood swings there . . .
