pair bonding is darwinian. it is generally agreed that the female is the more selective gender in choosing a mate. the impregnation process is only the beginning. she needs the male to stick around provide \ protect. then there
is the case for grandchildren!!!
well of course. women invest far far more than men during reproduction. it follows that they msut be more discriminating. furthermore, their bilogy supports the idea (sperm wars type stuff)

furthermore, it is postulated that homo sapiens evolved large penises for this exact reason. the propagation of our species is dependent on pair bonding
you were presumptuous when you interpreted my mention of respect to mean, "respect for a man" respect is the fabric of social contract. people are social animals......we gotta live together. without respect and cooperation.......well, you get the point.
not really. society changes. a few hundred years ago women would be killed for behaving as they do today. "respectful behaviour" is completely subjective

as far as being cheated on, i have been. i am the silver back gorilla type and when you've been with as many women as i have, it is inevitable.
not really. another way to look at it is that by accepting our biology and living life according to it, you ar in fact acting more human
anyway all this chat is bullshit. teh point is, people get to do what they want. some people will ahve a cry, some peopel wont - usually the ones who have a cry are the ones who lose out in some way. peopel who are lazy in relationships and are dumped always cry about "Respect" annd all sorts of social constructs designed to make it harder for their partner to leave them. people who are active socially and in being so, are more attractive, usually shrug their shoulders
