re: study showed that women with more than 4 partners before marriage is more likely to cheat

That's the point. Two things being related doesn't mean one causes the othe

if that is your point, it is a strawman of your own making.

Study is more about indicators.

For example, if the thread were to say:

Study shows someone with excessive spending habits before marriage is 21% more likely to divorce over financial issues.

Spending habits matter.

And someone said, well this is wrong because financial issues can be caused by other stuff.

It isnt about cause, but potential indicators and red flags.

It really made no sense.

They agree with the conclusion of a study they wrote an article on, therefore it is wrong?

Maybe it makes sense in his head.

Seems to really be in his feels over this.

In your world people lie on anonymous questionnaires about their sexual history? Who are they trying to trick with these lies?

Or perhaps you’re jaded and just now realizing you ran up a lot of girl’s body counts.

You may want to consider factoring-in attractiveness. There are a lot of people that are invisible to the opposite sex.

For one, men are also more likely to cheat if they’ve had 4 partners or more, so I’m not sure why OP is singling out women.

I’m not saying either is right or justified, but I think female infidelity is worse for a couple of reasons:

1. If a man finds out his wife has fricked the neighborhood, it might be questionable if the kids they have are actually his. Women do not have this concern.

Women are more interested in having sole access to a man’s resources than his dick. Options being equal, women are more likely to forgive or get over infidelity

2. I believe a man is generally more capable of fricking around and yet still genuinely loving his wife and wanting the relationship to continue. You have the sweet, innocent wife at home who’s the loving mother of your children - and the dirty slut whose face you cum on (and then forget) during a work trip when you want to be adventurous. I’m not saying it’s right, but I think men can more often do both.

If a woman is cheating, she’s more likely to be lacking something significant in the relationship and looking for a different man altogether.

He’s just wanting a vacation while the woman is wanting to relocate to a different city,

In short: infidelity carries more risk (financially and emotionally) for men.

why wouldn't "people" include women, grok?

A man dumb enough to marry a woman with more than 4 partners deserves to get cheated on

there were no indicators

Sleeping with a person (or a few people) before marrying your current spouse is not an indicator of any reality that you'll cheat on someone. that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard, and if you believe that, you're not very bright.

Statistics can be manipulated to prove whatever point you want to prove. I'm not questioning that they have data they have manipulated to try and prove a point.

But infidelity is also often the fruit of a lifelong approach to mating that involves seeking and practicing short-term mating encounters that encourage sexual variety at all stages and into marriage.

Also, this quote is ridiculous. People in long- term relationships almost always have some sort of physical relationship. That's not a "short-term mating encounter"
