Perhaps renting does make sense at that level... damn!

Are you saying they wouldn't have the balls to tell their missuses that it was time to sharpen up or be shown the door?

Fair call, the average missus of those guys is a pretty fearsome creature.

In that case, if sex means so little, and isn't a major sign of love, then why would women call it "cheating" when a man goes elsewher for it?

Fuck, I have enough trouble remembering my partner's name, let alone taking on a mistress as well!

Bad enough forgetting a name, but getting them crossed is just asking for a bobbiting!

Seriously though, I've never been that way inclined and don't even perve at women, except when I've been single. With luck and good management, I plan to stay happy and content for quite some time!

4,000 or 40,000... it doesn't matter. Us white fullas bet them to it and we didn't let methylated spirits get in the way.

Lets be honest here. You're not sitting outside on your patch of grass playing a didgeridoo tonight are you? No, you're watching sky eating dinner made from magic.

( i can hear the drums rolling now).

In defense of kiwi women, kiwi blokes ain't much to get excited about.

Two things have been made abundantly clear to me in this thread.

1) There are a lot a KB members whose partners are regulars here (read between the lines here folks) and:

2) I really need to learn how to multi quote.

If you've been watching the women's chat shows, you'll know exactly why both men and women cheat.

Men cheat - because they are complete and utter bastards.

Women cheat - because their husbands are complete and utter bastards.

So I was watching Oprah the other day (yeah, ok, I had half an hour to kill so watched the first half of it, anyway) and she was talking to this guy who's done some research on men and why they cheat on their wives. The top reasons were because they felt under-appreciated, lonely and like they 'aren't winning' etc. Anyway, I thought it was quite interesting and thought I'd share it with the bitches social group, but then thought, hmmm, wonder what other KBers think about it. I can completely understand and have been making more of an effort to make my husband's sandwiches and tell him he's a winner. So have a read, there are several pages. I thought it was quite interesting to find out that the majority of men who cheat don't do it just because they are horn bags!

in my personal experience,men cheat when it doesnt feellike cheating.either they reason"she wont care"or,"she wouldnt mind"or even"i hope she notices,because nothing else gets her atttention"

beleive it or not girls,men also like to be noticed,listened to and complimented,at least occasionally.

sex with someone else kills two birds with one stone:its a perfect way to get the undivided attention of the one your doing it with,while often getting the same reaction from the one you are doing it in spite of.

and no,it has nothing to do with hornyness in my experience.

thats my ten cents worth anyway

men cheat for the same reasons that women cheat. they can. most of the time it is all in the thrill of whether you will get caught. it raises adrenalin. in my opinion they should just get out there on a track and ride farking fast instead. it is a lot safer than having your missus find out that you have cheated on her.
