Apologies but her friends basically hung the rest of us out to dry because they can't have any loyalty to one woman, the jerks :mad:

Of course it's true for some guys. It's true for some girls as well! But that wouldn't be me, if I wasn't enjoying a relationship, then I'd leave, rather than cheat.

It's like everything in life, if you have something that's good but then something better comes along - you are either going to want that too
or want it instead. (Good's good, but better's better)

If what you had in the first place dosen't provide 'everything you want' (as the OP stated) then if that want is a big enough itch then you are just going to have to scratch it.

Well unless every man in the world was asked , and answered that question, and the results were then published as part of comprehansive medical research, then I can only assume that your friend is talking absolute bollox.

Is it true? No!

Seriously, of course there are some men who will walk if they aren't getting everything they want, in the same way that there are some women who will walk if they don't get everything that they want.

But for every guy who will walk there is a guy who will stick around.

Besides, if people could only communicate better with each other then perhaps discussing needs and wants could lead to no one walking out through lack of satisfaction.

First:

a man who is in a loving relationship will not stray

Then:

Once again we've another generalisation on Boards

What is wrong with this picture?

Its such a subjective field...
Those who say they could stray or think that men would stray in general, have probabaly never been truly 'in love' per se.
I would think when you love someone unconditionally and entirely, you would not be able to physically allow yourself to damage your relationship by straying. As I said though, its subjective. I can only speak for one. :rolleyes:

Are people only in love with the idea of being in love though, if you know what I mean?

Well not really, everyone loves the closness, caring, having a laugh and caring for that person, but love just comes and smacks you in the face when you least expect it... granted that might sound a little soppy, but sure hey :rolleyes:

, so i would have to disagree slightly with the fact that people are only in love with the idea of being in love.

What about a person who falls in love without looking for it?
Can see your point, but no I wouldn't say that one is true Daddio.

I know what your saying Daddio. Deffo. No doubt certain types are in love with the 'idea' of being in love. They will strive for it in their relationships, but not neccessarily find it. When you genuinely fall for someone I think its usually unplanned and uncontrollable. It can't be forced OR avoided if you know what I mean. but there is definately a crew who 'dream' of it and 'yearn' for it.

What you do is, see, you mistake the concept of "love" with the concept of "Finding someone as lonely and desperate as you are for sex", and before you know it you're single again and waiting in line at the clinic. It's magical, really. *sniffle*

Siogfinsceal · 10-02-2006 01:36PM

what a horrible way of thinking. Not every guy cheats you cant tar everyone with the same brush. hell, I know plenty of guys who are now at the opinion that every girl cheats! theres plenty of guys out there who when they find the right person, they stick with them

Tell me its not true.. please ..sniff..

What is about people - their relationship ends, they can't just say 'well it mustn't have been right anyway' .
But no no no. best thing to do there is become bitter and twisted, and take it out on on anyone of the opposite gender.

I made the point because you have to be open to something for it to happen to you no matter what you maybe telling others or yourself...nobody does anything involuntarily....especially becoming attached to another person

When I said that about desperation, I was generalising - not having a go at you personally. But I will have to disagree with your theory based on a recent experience. but thats just my opinion.

I just thought i would quote you again so you know exactly what you said:D

Perhaps I could have explained myself better. People who go out solely with the purpose of going on the pull, or looking for love (that one is more common amongst women tbh) .. this I can't understand. If you are single, then yes - to some degree you might be 'open' for it. love that is..

But it does come in suprises sometimes, and this is the angle I was coming from.

I've never known a guy to go out "looking for love", I know some guys who'll go out "lookin for some loving" but they're only out for some sex. I don't think they're the same thing.

If I were to picture the kind of guy who'd go out "looking for love", I'd picture Brendan Fraser in 'Bedazzled' when he becomes the sensitive poet guy, if you know what I'm referring to.
