A little info from some lonely scientists

The rule of 4

It take 4 seconds of unbroken eye contact to know if your attracted to someone

On average you can only be attracted to some one for 4 years.

In this thread
-guys who are bitter about past relationships will bitch about them
-guys who want to act like macho studs will pretend they couldn't possibly be monogamous
-a few guys with good relationships will talk about how awesome they are

I feel like we've had this thread before.
Hahaha! Totally.

(says the guy in a good relationship who thinks it's awesome)

I assumed there would be one or two guys who would chime in with high horse emotional/morality comments. Tell me though, how emotional do you feel in that 20 mins span AFTER you sleep with a chick? Funny that men don't need women right after the sex is over. Women aren't evil at all, they are essential to the survival of men, and vice versa. My point is that monogamy is just not very realistic, the appearance of monogamy is far more realistic and often times, doable.
In all fairness I've never just 'slept' with a chick, my closest thing to a one night stand was hooking back up with an ex. I've never needed shit from them 20 minutes later, I'm usually KO'd. I wasn't trying to get on a 'high horse' I'm just saying some of us like that romantic emotional crap, just as much as we like rough animal sex. Who says you can't have both? Granted my longest relationship was 2.5 years; but in any of my relationships I've never felt any sort of desire to ever be polygomous. That's not to say I haven't thought "I'd love to destroy that, in a alternate universe". You can keep your primal sexuality and be monogomous, I'm just saying.

A one night stand is the definition of "just sleeping" with a chick. Of course you never need anything from a woman after sex, because you just got what you needed. Now you can go to sleep and don't have to listen to them talk about their cat anymore. Polygomy is based on multiple relationships, my previous point was that long term relationships are becoming a thing of the past. Guys like Raptor are old and from a previous generation, which partly explains his long marriage. His generation will likely will the last where true monogamy is actually commonplace.

I wouldn't dare disagree with that. It's rather disheartening really :[ Although I'm curious is this a worldwide phenomenon? Is this problem more or less common in America?

I believe that theres still alot of people out there that would want a long life relationship with that specail someone. But ofcourse theres alot of work involve, a whole lot of work. Basically is about finding someone that you can tollerate for the longest time. haha.

Cause there will be arguements , there will be fights , all couples goes through. Out of all of my friends, I only one dude that is Pussywhiped and his girl gets what ever she wants. Dude is pathedic but hes my friend and we tell him to dump her but he wont , it is what it is.
All of my other friends have argue with theyre girlfriends, alot of time is about money and little stuff that only they know, but they will used other situation to pour the gas on the fire. So they would argue about little stuff , when in reality i know theres a bigger problem and that little issue is just to mask the real problem that they will talk about when its only them.
It all depends if each of us are willing to fight to stay together. If she doesnt feel appreciated or loved, she will look else where.
Then there are people that just want to date around and are not ready for a real relationship.

And then there are cheaters, lol.

I don't personally know you, but a lot of people I know that say similar things about not trusting people and getting burned are people that make really bad choices on who to trust.
this this this this this this and this... people who usually get burned multiple times more often than not make piss-poor decisions on who they deal with.
