Why is it unacceptable for men to date more than one woman?

Question

Is it not male instict to sew his seed in as many places as possible? Why do you think the idea of monogamy came about? And why do most men want to sleep around?

(note to girls, I know your boyfriend says he doesn't want to sleep around, and he probably won't if he loves you. This doesn't mean he doesn't want to)

Answer 1

Depends what you promise them!
if it is just a casual relationship, then fine, as long you think it is okay for her to date and sleep with other other men!

What you are trying to say is men want s*x more than women..........................WRONG!


It is a male instinct to sow his seed as you say...........but the females are catching up and thinking, why the f*ck stay in the kitchen..............lets get out there and go for it!

If you can't beat them............join them at their own game!

As for sleeping around..........women are far more committed to a relationship than a a man would ever be..........and that is a statistic!

Answer 2

Monogamy is a cultural idea, not an instinctive one, at least for the male. For women, they are looking for a provider and a protector, instinctively. So they don't want a man that will just spread his seed far and wide and be gone. They want a man to stick around and provide for the care of the child. The sanctity of marriage an the idea of monogamy is to support both of these idea simultaneously. For the woman, she gets her faithful protector and provider. For the man, he get exclusive seeding rights, free from the competition of other males.

Men however are still pigs and will try to sleep with as many women as possible. At the same time, the women often are willing to take advantage of a better prospect in order to produce better children.

Monogamy is a a societal issue, but one that most civilised societies adhere to (or at least make an attempt).

Monogamy is a choice, it is not "built-in" to our physiological makeup. It does go against the male of our species innate need to procreate and "spread his seed".

In the early days of man, the male would stick around long enough for the child to reach an age where it could somewhat fend for itself and then the male was off to find another female to breed with. Unfortunately for women, this still happens today.

A man has to make the choice to be with one woman and because we've developed mentally, he can make that choice. Or he can choose to behave like an animal and spread his seed around.

But it's up to the women to decide if we're going to allow this behavior and as long as we allow it, they'll do it.

Answer 4

He can date more than one woman if he is honest about it and it is ok with everyone. Dating does not = sex. At least in my day. ALthough I think it is becoming synomous now.

Why should a guy not sleep with more than 1 woman at a time. Disease 1st and foremost. Then because most people have for socail/cultural reasons accepted the tradition of fideliety. Finances comes to play too. Cultures where they can have more than 1 wife etc they must be able to afford each wife and the children they bare. No moneey no multiple wives!!1 So if you want multiples get a very very good job!

Answer 5

I don't think it's unacceptable for a man to see more than one woman, as long as the man is straight up with the women he's seeing... if he wants to be misleading or deceptive, and play games, or is committed to a woman but is messing around behind her back, that's where it's wrong, and not just for men, but men and women both.

As far as that "male instict to sow his seed in as many places as possible"... good one buddy, but I'm not buying it, come on! I don't think there's a male gene that induces sleeping around, but nice try anyways!

Answer 6

Its unacceptable because we are generally a monogamist society. I think it came about cos some idiot starting preaching about true love and soul mates and only loving one person, people picked up on it and it just grew from there. The reason men want to sleep around is due to survival instinct the idea of having your genes passed on so a new generation is born, its a basic instinct all men have, the instinct to pro-create. The also want to do it cos they see no reason why they can't.

Answer 7

Monogamy for EITHER sex is important, because
a) the less ppl you sleep w/ the less likely you are to get a disease
b) monogamy shows the person you're with that you love them and you don't need someone else to satisfy you
And as for male , 'instinct'- deal with it. This is the 21st century.I think men can exercise a little bit of self-control.

Answer 8

Men and women are equally capable of sleeping around and biologically it makes no difference between the sexes. Women can accept more than one sperm donor at a time and its the tough ones that finish first! Its a myth that men want to sleep around more than women do based on biology. Its merely social conditioning. I think its very odd that you suggest that all men want to sleep around even if they say they don't. The law of averages would refute that and its also equally likely that women have similar urges they just keep them in check because they get called nasty names if they don't! Monogamay is a state of mind and being that is a human evolutionary tool to stop people from mating without responsibility. Its okay to be monogamous and with plenty of temptation around, its really for the higher beings who can moralise and not for lower life forms! On saying all of this, I think its okay for single men and women to sow their oats providing that they make it clear to their partners that they are not monogamous at this time. If their partners agree to that then thats okay. If not, then they can just leave. Its only when promises are made and then broken that it becomes distasteful. And of course, for health reasons, its better to be cautious rather than blase.

Answer 9

It is bad business for a woman to allow her man to sleep around.

-She only produces one egg a month. Men produce millions of sperm each day.

-She can only be pregnant with one child (typically) at a time.
We can sire bunches of children at once.

-She can only raise so many children at a time. Historically speaking men aren't the ones raising the children.

A man could have dozens of children before an STD takes him out. Genetically speaking this is a success for him passing along his genetic code.

These ideals came about from women, religion, and leaders of old societies.

Answer 10

Of course dating more than 1 woman is unacceptable! I mean, women get jelous. A woman wants her guy to be devoted to her and only her! Can you imagine what a woman would feel if she knew you were dating more than 1 person!
