    This is cr*p and most of these comments are cr*p. The cheaters have no morals or empathy. A lot of this is tied to the fact that few people go to churh anymore, the main stream media is their G*d. The msm is all about promoting things like cheating, drinking all the time, etc. Think about it.

    Unlimited communication availability like cell phone time, e-mail, etc has ruined a lot of significant other relationships. Also the MSM main stream media keeps trying to portray adultery as "just one of those things". They forget to include STDs and emotional degradation. How convenient for them. :-p

    This article is right on. I only wish I couold get my wife to read it and "UNDERSTAND" it. Even if I ask her to read it, I don't think she would fully grasp it and embrace the concept. I "almost" cheated on my wife. I did have an emotional affair but ended short of taking it all the way - and not because the other party was unwilling. It was quite the opposite. It almost destroyed my marriage. Many of the problems that were present before, are still there. I have simply learned to overlook them. It is a constant internal strugle for me because of the disconnect but somehow I stick it out. She is a very good person. She just doesn't know how to show me that I am appreciated. I have written letters, had talks, been to counseling but nothingh sinks in. I have consigned myself that it will never change. So I can live with it, or move on. That is the way that I have learned to deal with it.. I only wish that there was more. I am not fatalistic, but I have come to face reality.

    What is it with men believing women don't like sex??? I've only met a few women in my life who actually don't like it. For those of you who feel your expereinces were less then favorable, maybe you sould try something different, or ask her what she wants... You all are pretty vocal about what you want. That's just another way a woman can help in keeping you interested in her and the relationship, it might be more fun for you also.

    I am a single man. From my perspective, I think it is a combination of both the need to feel needed AND sex. Women may not like it but me are just as insecure as them (perhaps even more so) and need to be made to feel like they are king in the eyes of their lady. We also want to be nourished and loved and spoiled. But in addition to that, we need lots and lots of sex. That is just the way God put men together. Men continue to get horny well into their elderly years. But a woman doesn't have to look like a model to please her man. She just needs to be the agressive one more often. It should be 50/50. And she needs to flirt with him and she needs to make him feel special outside the bedroom as well. We want to feel like we are tops in your book and that you don't want any other man. And we want to hear it with words. Now, I am sure woman want all the very things I just describe, with perhaps the exepction of the parts about the sex. But this article (and book) was about what men want and what women can do to keep them from cheating. So, that is what I am commenting on.

    I think it is time for our society to start looking beyond the obvious. Perhaps it is time to look at the soul level and the relationships one soul has to another. If the energy is present to keep the relationship together, then I believe the "emotional disconnect" does not occur. However, if the relationship has been completed at the soul level, then perhaps, it is finished--for the energy isn't there to maintain the relationship. If we are able to take it to this level, then we are less likely to keep the blame-game going.

    The thing that bothers me about articles and books like this is that there is an assumption that we all think alike. Nothing could be further from the truth. The human race is about individuality and that doesn't end with a wedding ring. I could use some of my personal experiences to illustrate how my first marriage was a mistake and I could also show how my second marriage has led to infidelity too, but it neither validates nor invalidates the fact that I'm an individual just as both of the women I married are individuals and we all have needs that we satisfy in our own way. That is why this article probably won't do anything to solve what the author perceives as a "problem" with men (or for that matter with women). Cheating isn't an exclusive male phenomenon.

      As with all "Expert Advice" you need to take it with your point of view. You are absolutely right, no two of us are the same. There is no miracle cure.

    I'm going through a divorce right now and this article hits the head on the nail for why we grew apart. She does not appreciate what I do to ensure she can stay at home with the kids like she wants. I work two jobs spend a lot of time on the road. My efforts are never enough for her. She just doesn't appreciate what I do for my family.

    Oh, and I have never cheated on her. My messed up sense of loyalty to the sancitty of marriage (acording to the guys at work) won't allow me to be invovled with another woman until the divorce is final. She will not be able to label me an adulteror to my sons.

    Don't kid yourself, appreciate or lose.

    I think it's true that technology has added to cheating and also that men won't admit to cheating until they are caught red-handed in some cases. We had been married 20 years....the intimate part of our marriage wonderful, the friendship and love flowing...little notes left to each other every day, phone calls, etc. But my hubby worked out of our home after his early retirement at 52...I worked outside the home four days a week. He worked for a computer business (he retired from the computer business & was so savy with it) I had no idea he was having internet affairs for six years...he knew how to hide and rename the files and my computer knowledge was limited. I was devastated, shocked and put in trauma when an IM came through one night as I didn't even know we had IM....and it was a love IM. We went through hell in healing....I loved my husband with all my heart and this turned my whole world upside down.....to read the e-mails, the messages (yes, I became computer savy quickly afterwards). This was a man that was appreciated and loved to the fullest and also made me feel that way. He was the last man I ever thought would cheat as he always said, "there will always be honesty in our marriage." How easy to lie....it was the deceit that hurt the most. We have moved forward....but no one will ever know the pain I went through or the emotional roller coaster. He had it all....and I will never understand ...nor he....why he risked losing it all for the "fun and excitement" of the internet.

    Strength to all that have been through this.

    I think that the author of the book may in fact be a female! Every man knows that sex to a man is just that, sex. Sex to a woman is more spiritual and meaningful. Men need sex. I say again, MEN NEED SEX! If they don't get sex (the reason they don't get sex is not important), they will find a way to get it. First, it starts with porn, then it goes from there. Men love to have sex, and men love to look at women's bodies. You should believe me because I am in fact an expert in the field of men's feelings. I AM A MAN, so I know what men want. Plain and simple, it is sex that we want. Sex,sex,sex!!!

    This article is rediculous! I can't believe that you would expect anybody to believe this crap. I read an article similar to this one. It was called "How to be the Perfect Wife" It was written in the 60's during Husband Appreciation Week. It was hilarious! Maybe if those cheating males would have given their spouses the extra time and attention that they were giving to the "other" woman they could have helped themselves. A woman knows when her man is less than honest and when she is feeling disrespected, neglected, and taken for granted by the cheating male she is going to be less than warm to what he might be going through. One more thing. So you are telling me that when I yell and cheer for my team during a ballgam, it's because I have been trained and conditioned since I was little that winning and accomplshing is much of my definition? It's not because I enjoy the game? Get Real!

      the women involved with the cheating man, are women who just don't give a rat's ass if they are married or not. they want what they want, and will say or do anything they have to, to get it. i was told to my face after the fact, when i confronted the whore, that married men are safe, they can't control them or tell them what to do, and this REALLY got me. they don't have any STD's. althougth, having gotten pissed off with my husband because he didn't show up when she wanted him to because of family commitment. she went and slept with another guy and SHE got an STD, which she gave to him and the he gave it to me. i was then told by him it was dorment in me! do you believe this ***? this truly is not in most cases the wife's falut this cheating happens, he is a sitting duck, just waiting to be shot but cunning deceitful looser women who can't get a man on an honest straightforward way,
      Being one of those women who has been cheated on, let me just say, the sun rose and set on my husband's head. i have loved him since the first moment i met him. when he cheated on me, the betrayal was unbearable, but above all, what hurt me deep in my heart is that he wasn't the man i had thought he was. i put him on a petastool and he fell, the person he was unfaithful with was a friend. how about that!

          TO MARRIED WOMEN FROM A SINGLE GIRL.Ladies, I just want to let you know that there are women out there who respect other people's marriages. As a si ngle woman, I go out by myself and meet men in bars and clubs. I have seen many of your men on the prowl out there and have always feel saddened by their lack of shame. As soon as a man tells me he is married or has a girlfriend, no matter how attractive and cool he is and regardless of the fact I might just want sex with him and nothing more serious, I turn these guys down. One day, I met a guy and we hit it off, he mentioned he was on a business trip so I thought it would a fun adventure. We were about to leave together and he then mentioned a girlfriend. I think he felt really comfortable that we had established we were after a sexual affair, and I wouldn't turn him down. I did! I told him that I thought about his girlfriend and didn't want to cause pain to another woman. I also know that I intend on being in a serious relationship and would hate to be cheated on. Not all single unattached women are losers who are after other people's men. Some of them are decent individuals who do not want their fun to cause pain to another person.

          Iam a hopeless romantic, I sure hope there is! but once you are hurt, it is hard to trust again, but you keep trying.

  • Posted By: LadyWolf713 @ 10/04/2008 7:43:20 AM

    I have been in this relationship for a little bit and had no significant relationship prior to my divorce 16 years ago. I love him very much but he still gets calls and texts messages from his girlfriends and it hurts and disrupts our time together. He tells me he loves me and these women are just friends now. I feel cheated out of time with him with these women in his life. I have seen some of the messages and they were not friend messages. He hides to get them at times and he thinks I dont see it or feel it. He now deletes them all. Can I ever trust this man? I wish he could understand how it hurts me. I wait hoping he will change and want only me, or maybe I will stop loving him , get tired of it and walk away from it all.

    • Posted By: KatyL @ 10/04/2008 9:38:32 AM

      i am very sorry to tell you, but he will probably never change. Most, I'm not saying all, but for most men it takes something huge, something life changing for them to see whats in front of them. If they do not see your worth from day one, they aren't going to see it because you make them...also be honest with yourself, I'm sure you do not want someone that you have to change to see how great you are and want to be devoted to you and only you. I think that if you really love someone you can let things go like other girls even if they are just old friends, i also think that if you really love someone you would WANT to let the past and previous relationships go. This is why you look past his flaws, because you love him. I'm sorry to say, but just because you love someone doesn't mean that they will change for you, especially if they know you are not going anywhere. I say leave, however hard that may be for you. If he changes and comes back then you know he really loves you...I hope for you things work out!

    Male bashing has become a National pastime. Albeit disgusting, it misses an important point. Women are as duplicitous, uncaring, unfaithful, and secretive as, if not more, than men. Painting the picture, ad naseum, that women are somehow 'above it all', innocent little lambs misunderstood in the world, is laughable at best. Women don't have an idea about how to 'keep a man' because they are so self absorbed, keeping both partners focused on HER. I don't think so, Corky. That ain't gonna work, no way, no how.

      Lies all lies...speak for yourself, and you sound like a ***...actually.... or mabybe you just want to justify being a dog, yourself...don't blame women, because you screw up

      The article did seem a little one sided, but interesting none the less.

      You just have to read it as if it applies to both sexes.

  • Posted By: Westward @ 10/04/2008 9:35:06 AM

    This book is right on the mark. I loved my wife more deeply than I ever thought possible, and used to do everything I could to make her happy. I'd feed her horses when the temperatures were below zero, spend days repair pasture fences, or buy her nice cars that I could barely afford. But all I would get was rather cursory thanks. She was (and is) never demanding or selfish, she just never shows any real appreciation beyond a polite thanks. The "other woman" always made me feel special. She would praise my intelligence and abilities, not only to me, but to her friends, which made me feel like a king.
    I'm still with my wife, and I will never cheat again. I couldn't handle the guilt, and we also have a child now. But oh how I still long for those feelings of being someone special to a woman.

    Good article. It takes an honest approach to what the underlying reasons are in a majority of the cases because these things do happen for a reason.
    And how about the rise in womens infidelity (or at least rise is admissions)?
    It is difficult to keep that physiological urge are bay all ones life. If it wasn't then infidelity wouldn't be such a big issue. People would just talk instead of sex.
    Its in our 'lizard brain'.

    • Posted By: ltnelson @ 09/27/2008 2:26:25 AM

      Or the other option would be to indulge those urges and tell society to go to hell.

      My wife and I indulge them TOGETHER, as SWINGERS, which most of you would have an issue with, but WE ARE HAVING A GREAT TIME AND DON'T HAVE ANY OF THESE ISSUES!!!

      hahhahhahahahha

        That's what YOU think! Most women are emotional creatures and sex is the entry way to a giant resevoir of emotion. Even if you are having a blast and you think she is too, you better ask her if she is really ok with all the women that have access to you and the fact that you want other men to have her. She may be mum on the subject because she loves you, she wants you to be happy, and she already told you it was okay. You may wake up one moring to find your wife taking up permanent residence in a new man's bed where only she is welcome.

    I disagree with some of the information in this book. And I think the percentage should be higher for men who will cheat because a woman is sexier or has a PHD in prostitution. Test the theory out, post a fake ad on craigslist as an escort, describe yourself as a sexy, young, beautiful woman....and you will see how many rsponses you get from men who are indeed married and will admit it. Most men are simply dogs, they are not emotional creatures like this article is trying to potray. Their penises get hard, they want to screw. If wife can't fulfill the sexual drive, it will begin with porn and looking at naked pictures of other women....and then he will want to do more. I knew someone who managed escorts and it was set-up for men to go screw them right before work & right when they get-off. Most of them were married middle-aged white-collar men. The bottom line is, if you don't screw your husband somebody else will. Men need sex. Why do you think viagra was such a big hit? Let's not over complicate this.....as a matter of fact.... go to www.escortvault.com... it's an example of an underground escort system full of married men. Same for sugardaddie.com and many others. They want sexy, they want prostitution, rarely emotional.

    This article is such BS. Emotional disconnection my a@@. Men cheat because sex is sex to us. We do not preceive sex as some sort of connection. It's just sex. It doesn't mean we want to leave the person we are with. We just want to get our rocks off. The finest and most beautiful women in the world have been cheated on. Men are selfish and lack foresight when we get an erection. Nothing else matters at that point but sex. Save yourself some money and don't buy this book.
