no idea.
Seems to me if biology is the rational for that behaviour to make marriage last for men, maybe they should.
What's good for the goose...

I wouldn't quote that link if I were you. I've visited the love-shy.com forums before, and there are some crazy mofos over there. I mean, literally insane, psycho, loony, crazy people.
They seem to think that, just because they're men, they're entitled to a woman. And they say horrible things about women who join the site (you can't be love-shy! You're a woman, so therefore you can get sex whenever you want!), advocate rape and murder, and glorify people like that gym shooter who shot a bunch of women because he wasn't getting any (they considered him somewhat of a hero.)
But I also believe that women can also be love shy, which is something that Gilmartin neglected to mention in his book. I've known several women who fit the profile
I think what I'm trying to get across is that the biological infuences are largely similar between men and woman and the social constructs of sexuality, monogamy and morality that hold male "wickedness" in opposition to female "virtue" does neither gender any favours.
and i agree, mostly, but i think that there are biological factors we can't quite get around.
how many female Republican politicians troll women's rooms looking for cunnilingus?

You mention seeing such striking differences in same-sex relationships. Could it be that following the biological impulse for a same-sex partner often manifests in an amplification of the expected societal gender roles with respect to monogamy?
Just a thought.
i think a lot of it has to do with a sexuality that develops in closets and shadows and almost requires impulsivity for it to have any expression at all.
i didn't want to be known as a slut. do many hetero men worry about that?
Ahh, gay men and hetero women have more in common than love of shopping.
What you had said about closets and shadows speaks of sexual repression which yes, is an experience shared by many hetero women.

Definitely the marrieds, but what about the 30+ bachelor? Is being a man-whore an image problem past the "prime" years?
but in general more successful with women, and what he does is deliberately target and hone in on women that are 'emotionally needy'. It seems a bit cynical, and it is actually incredibly cynical; but, as I said, it's a relatively successful strategy for him.
but my theory is that most women want to be the love of their partners' lives, and most men want to be the exact same thing,
what does that mean for our current model of monogamy?

I am not convinced the threadstarter is taking on board the different perspectives being offered.
But anyway
