Science states men cheating

is part of evolution

Ashley Madison is a dating app dedicated to

married people seeking out affairs. Of the 60
million users on the app, 50 million of them are
men.

As startling as this statistic is, it's only the tip of

the iceberg of the promiscuous lifestyles that
some married men lead.

But the fact of the matter is it isn’t their fault

they want to cheat on their spouse.That’s right
ladies, they don’t want to cheat on you — they
are inclined to by their animal instincts.

These relationship-ruining instincts are

nicknamed the “Coolidge Effect” in humans.
The idea is that men will get bored with the
same partner after sex and will be more
interested in newer partners as an instinct to
reproduce as much as possible.

This was famously tested by scientists in 1974

during the “rat experiment.” During the
observation of sexual behavior of rats, it was
discovered that males will lose interest in recent
mates in pursuit of novel and newer partners.

Replicated in roosters, deer and humans, the

experiment proves that men are victims of their
own evolution, and wives everywhere need to
remember that the next time their husband
comes home happier than usual.

Plus, men have evolved over millennia to be

able to cheat more efficiently. Being able to
create over 100,000 sperm cells every minute is
vital in the ancient idea of men needing to
spread their DNA as far as possible.

Men’s animal instincts also give reason to why

the Institute of Family Studies reports that 25%
of married men age 30 and older admit to
having an affair. For reference, only 6% of
married women age 30 and older admit to
having an affair.

Some men may be susceptible to cheating

without even knowing, as race and even
religious preference affect infidelity.

If you are a hispanic man who attends religious

services regularly and identifies as a republican,
you are statistically less likely to cheat on your
spouse. On the other side of the spectrum, if
you are a black man who does not go to
religious services and identifies as a democrat,
you are most likely to cheat on your spouse.

So if you are worried about cheating on your

spouse, pick up a Bible and slap a President
Trump sticker on your car bumper.

Men shouldn’t be scrutinized for doing what

comes naturally to them. Cheating is as human
as smiling, and we as a society need to take the
taboo out of the act.

No, not all married men should leave their

spouses and go buckwild, but we should
approach cheating from a different perspective.
Roleplay and “re-meeting” your spouse are
fantastic ways to trick a man’s animal instincts
into thinking the old is the new.

Although the emotional turmoil may be severe

for your spouse, men will always act on their
animal instincts, and there is nothing you can
do to stop the inevitable.
