subject: Why Do Married Men Look At Other Women? [print this page]


Hard as it is to admit, men's DNA has given them the "right to be promiscuous." It's exactly what natural selection chooses. When they enter a relationship that eventually fails because they still flirt with other women, their only reason is: "I'm a man. Learn to deal with it." This, by the way, happens to be validated by society. Even when they have wives, men can't help it. And yet, so many women still ask "Why do married men look at other women?"

"A few good men" -- you might have come across this phrase one too many times, or seen the film of the same title. Indeed, there are a few good men. Some women are lucky enough to have loyal and honest partners, partners who define commitment. For them the important term is "good." But then again, there is another adjective: "few".

Men look the other way is primarily because they are unsatisfied. Their satisfaction doesn't come from being monogamous. The hard truth? What completes them more is the latest SUV or a fat bank account, and frequent club time with, yes, other women. He sees someone across the cafe and pursues her relentlessly. What follows is not commitment, but another badge on his sash.

Men are like wolves, hungry at all times, always on the lookout for something to satisfy them. They may be eating buffalo, but when an antler comes their way, some men wouldn't have second thoughts.

Another reason why married men look at other women is the visual aspect. Visual stimulation is very powerful for a man. A sexy, fuming hot bartender is the ultimate visual feast. Defying it would be extremely hard for them. Resistance would be as good as lying comatose. The image will never leave a man's thought even after he comes home to his wife who has become unappealing to his eyes -- perhaps due to the eye bags because of sleepless nights for crucial career motives, or the love handles that developed because of too much cheesecake and Frappuccinos.

And then there are those women who think that it is their fault. It is not. So do not carry the burden of believing that you are the reason. Most people think that way because culture has already imbibed that society works this way. For the married woman, it's not your fault if your beau keeps his eyes on others. While there may be obvious factors, it is their choice to give in to the visual temptation. The chain of events that takes place after that crucial one look is solely the man's choice -- done at free will and not because of the wife's failed attempt at liposuction. Window shopping is one thing. Stopping to buy is another.

Women are the signals. But it's still up to men to heed the call. Why do married men look at other women? Because there ARE OTHER WOMEN. It doesn't matter if their fourth finger is circled with something in platinum. As long as there are women, and as long as men have eyes to see with, they will keep on looking.
