How Faithful Are Men?

"Men can't be faithful! They haven't got the necessary genes." Thus spoken by Rose in the hit British comedy Keeping Up Appearances, available for viewing on Youtube. Many women share this philosophy, though it is a highly untrue one. How can men be faithful? Under which circumstances?

It is built into men. Men are, naturally, faithful creatures. Give a man a good woman with character, cleaning ability, style, class and intellect, and a man will be faithful to the death. I know...I have seen it thousands upon thousands of times. Men were designed to be protectors, caretakers and lovers. Their structure is built in, so if you have a cheating man, he became so under dire circumstances. Men do not, in general or in specific circumstances, cheat.

Men are more faithful to faithful women. I have seen it over and over: some woman is complaining that her husband is so suspicious of her. He is "too possessive" and "too controlling." Then I watch as she goes out and flirts with other men, making them think that she is single and available and giving her husband ample reason to be jealous. Men don't need to be controlling when their wife is not throwing herself around or "needing space." If you want that much space, why aren't you single? As long as you're in a relationship with a man, you'll have to give up certain blessings in exchange for new ones. One of those blessings is the right to flirt or hang out too long with other men.

Men need a few simple things...that's all! Men don't need a Martha Stewart in the house, an Angelina Jolie in the bedroom, or an Elle Woods to take to the football game. Men just want a pretty, happy, content wife who will sacrifice for him to the same extent which he will sacrifice for her. Men want someone who is content and at peace, not someone who is constantly unhappy with herself or her life or what he gives her. They want someone who is ambitious and motivated to be better, not someone who hits thirty and lets her body, her marriage and her house go to the dogs. Men really need a few simple things: Sex, loyalty, kindness, generosity, beauty and love. Good food, decent wages and a warm, loving family to come home to.

The cheaters. Yes, there are a few men out there who are cheaters. I am not denying their existence. There are also women out there who are cheaters, so don't think I'm going to ease off of either gender in this category. Womanizers have a need to gain control, because, in their past, they were given very little control. Users were usually raised with over-domineering parents, bitchy, lazy girlfriends, and friends who never give them any choices. They absolutely have no control over their lives, but lo and behold, they find that they can get women. That is what they have control over, so they use this fact to gain more control. Avoid these men, but also recognize why they are the way they are.

Women, we have equal but different power than men. We have the ability to make or break our men, to uplift him or to destroy him for all time. We are not less than men, we are equal, but we have a different strength. Pull out the drama and the discontent, and show your man what you're made of.
