From the Unpopular Opinions subreddit, a rather ingenious explanation as to why it’s much, much worse for men (well, cis men) to cheat on (cis) women than it is for women to cheat on men:
This was an unpopular opinion even for Reddit, with everyone in the comments arguing against this unique insight from OpinionManVIP, who not only seems to have never had sex but also to have never watched any porn. Seriously, dude, if you believe this you are Very Bad at Sex.

He’s never heard of Laurell K Hamilton either 😛
we are not all “ladies” here.
secondly you are simply a moron if you believe hearts of men and women are so different. you quote Chekhov, but I doubt you have any insight to understand him.
Ah, but I have read her work, especially the infamous Mary-Sue Amelia Blake series, and It’s basically a straight-er version of Anne Rice crossed with the World of Darkness/Vampire the Masquerade/ Werewolf the Apocalypse; in fact I daresay its the spiritual predecessor to Twilight
And of course male and female hearts are not that different, physiologically speaking, but to be psychologically speaking, they are yin-and-yang
I got hammered on Vodka several times in my own youth , Chekhov among them , does that count? Hehehe
I think, no.
you originally talk of metaphorical hearts, and you change now to physical hearts only to joke and only because you can’t defend your position. there is no such thing as male/female brain. if you believe people that way you will never experience meaningful connection with another.
Oh , really ?

And Hell is Other People, after all. Now, Hell may be entertaining enough for the occassional vacation every now and then, interesting scenery and all, but who would be masochistic enough to live there all the time 24-7-52 eh? Not me!
congratulations on your first source)) but you didn’t listen what Scjild said? you can Google but it can say exactly what you want, if you don’t have any judgement to see what is reasonable or unreasonable.
second if you are happy to live alone that is fine. people like different things. people have different brains))
it is strange that you think that “meaningful connecton” means you must to stay every moment with people you love. I never stayed longer than 3 months with my girlfriend, and often we are apart for 4 months, sometimes even 7, because of my job. connection is not about you must always stay together physically. it is steange actually you believe that there is any relationship where people stay together 24h 7d 52w ?
But the moment a Male mate leaves the Female mate alone, much more often than not , she’s going to stray tsk tsk tsk so there is just no sense for a Male to seriously committing himself anymore to a female , if there ever was a time when it made sense , it sure isn’t that way nowadays for the average Male because of the way the average female is tsk tsk tsk …
@ JDSM
Or catch up on Coronation Street. YMMV of course.
generally my girlfriend just increase her rank on World Of Warships. Maybe there are some things in this world better than sex?
Huh? But I thought that women were the ones that only had sex after falling in love, and that men were the ones that could have sex indiscriminately without developing any feelings. And that men were the ones who were biologically designed to screw multiple people at once, since cis men can “perfectly” impregnate multiple cis women, but “females” can only be impregnated by one cis man at a time? Isn’t that what you said?
What is the basis for your hypothesis that women are the ones that will immediately stray?
So what?
How does it hurt me if one of my partners has fun sexytimes with other men? If anything, it makes her happier, which in turn makes me happier.
(It can also be a good way of making other male friends. If she likes them, I’ll probably like them too.)
@JDSM
So nothing. Totally full of shit. No ability to do more than assert a bunch of things about other people.
And also typically you want us to look up your arguments. Lazy fuck.
No. I refuse to do your work incompetent. If think people are a certain way it’s your job to show it. You play being amused merely for face saving at this point.
Edited to add: finally a link, but now all they do is link drop. Like I have accept a link they don’t actually quote any data from.
“These people say X!”
Now point to a specific thing in the paper that they say is different because I don’t believe you understand what you have.
@Victorious Parasol
No, I haven’t! Now I have something to watch! 😀
@JDSM
Uh, dude, there’s an entire subgenre of paranormal erotic fiction that is specifically about one woman entering a polyamorous relationship with two or three vampire/werewolf men.
They’re actually quite steamy.
Okay, I’ve read JDSM’s link. There are a couple of interesting things in there, but it mostly discusses animal studies and then hypothesizes that they’d carry over to humans. Animal studies can point to something we might want to look out, but you can’t assume animal studies automatically apply to us. Especially when it’s animals that aren’t all that similar to us. Like mice.
Then there’s paragraphs that miss out on really obvious counters that go completely unacknowledged. Like this
Well no, monkeys don’t encourage boys to play with trucks and girls with dolls. But humans do and it’s human researchers that give the toys to the monkeys and as much as they might try to remain neutral when offering monkeys toys to play with, they might be subtly encouraging female monkeys to play with plush toys and male monkeys with wheels.
Then there’s this. Okay, differences appear early. So what? You know what else happens immediately upon birth? Boy and girl babies are treated very differently. Babies pick up on environmental cues.
There’s a lot of this kind of thing in that link. A lot of listing of behavioral differences and saying there must be a biological component. Not a lot of acknowledgement that humans, many of whom are really heavily invested in gender roles being set can interpret data in a way to make it say what they want it to say.
Whatever the flaws and strengths of the article however, there’s one thing it definitely didn’t do. And that’s confirm any of troll’s claims. There is nothing in there about healthy women needing to fall in love to have sex. There’s nothing in there about men needing to be promiscuous. Nobody is really saying that there are absolutely no differences between male and female brains. What we are saying is that you can’t make a sweeping generalization about male and female behavior and call it science and you can’t claim culture has zero factor in how different sexes behave. Even the neuroscientists who believe that a lot of behavioral differences between sexes is biological don’t claim that 100% of behavior is biological. That includes this article
Anyway, I doubt trolly will heed my recommendation, but I’ll always take any opportunity to suggest reading Delusions of Gender by Cordelia Fine which gets into a detailed analysis of the issues with neuoroscience trying to prove biological sex differences.
Oh your god, that study again?
Human females are addicted to the feeling of being in Love , which gradually faded away after around four years at most , on average , which is partly why in present-day USA (bellweather for the test of the Developed World) , half of all heterosexual marriages end in divorce and 80% of divorces are unilaterally initiated by the wives and of those that remain married, half of the wives in them are adulterous or wish that they were tsk tsk tsk Modern Marriage is just not worth it for a heterosexual male if you have any self-respect at all.
EJ, I Will quote what Buzz Armstrong said to Woody and leave it at that. Tsk tsk tsk
And that genre is , as I said relatively rare , compared to its opposites I.e. niche. You see any mainstream successful fictional series , of any medium , with a genuine reverse-harem set-up (polyamory, not cuckoldry like that Outlander tv series) anywhere in the world today eh?
Buzz Armstrong? Do you mean Buzz Lightyear?
I swear, fake geek boys…
Ah, sorry, typo obviously, tsk tsk tsk
But my point still stands , and I will say no more on this topic with you .
@ JDSM
Robert Palmer is not a real doctor.
Ban the kid. He’s boring.
Getting triggered now, are we? Hits too close to home, maybe? Tsk tsk tsk
Nah, more bored than anything. I mean, punch it up a little. Sell me these biotruths!
cracks knuckles
Your link didn’t back this up.
And you didn’t even respond to my breakdown of your link.
Please try again.
Tusk tusk tusk
Oh, clarification, an average healthy female cannot have sex and not fall in love. That is why there is no such thing as casual adultery with them, and again, as I said, they generally can only love one male at a time, and what is new is always fresh and sweet and what is old is always rotten and bitter, so they will always (or at least much more often than not) Love their mistral much more than their husband* , as best shown in that 90’s Unfaithful movie with Richard Gere and Diane Lane or that Outlander series or Japanese NTR porn. This is why we have the (usually married) Female schoolteacher / Male student sex epidemic in the USA and other Western countries. As depressing as it is to realize, it is a harsh truth, as a general rule, human females have sex in order to fall in love , as their default reason , if they’re freely doing it and not forced to do so by violence or trauma or poverty , and they want to be in love all the time , so once the honeymoon phase is over and the “magic” is gone out of the marriage, even a blushing virgin bride will become the proverbial Wife of Bath , as Chaucer noted in the Canterbury Takes tsk tsk tsk
*or worse, never get over the One True Love in their Youth , goddamnit
And by popular demand, viola
