MEN: Radio personality & talk show host Michael Baisden states that men are not monogamous by nature....?

Question

agree or disagree?

If agreed then do you believe they can be in a monogamous relationship if they choose to?

I personally feel what he says is a cop out and an excuse to cheat.

Answer 1

By nature, no, but they are perfectly capable of being in a monogamous relationship.

Answer 2

By nature you would imply that there is an innate drive to propagate ones species. This propagation does not necessarily mean that one is trying to create offspring but rather is driven to mate. Is that a natural drive that man has? Yes. Do many men act upon that drive? Yes. However, man does have the ability to reason (yes ladies, man can reason) and can chose based upon this reasoning to engage in a monogamous relationship. Many men do this all of the time. Living above ones natural instincts in a choice that humans make. Just as choosing a monogamous relationship is a choice, not doing so is a choice as well therefore is not an excuse for cheating.

Answer 3

I think hes right. A human has free will though. A man can choose how to live his life. Biologically/evolutionally it has always made more sense to spread the seeds around than to select one partner. Thats our biology.

Answer 4

I think that it is a cop out. There are just as many women who cheat... studies show it!

Answer 5

hes right, but men can learn to resist instinct.

Answer 6

Sweetie says I'd better be.

Answer 7

Here it is:
Men need to get around, before we settle down.

And when we settle down, if we see someone better and we can get her, we will IF we haven't gotten around ENOUGH before we settled down.

Answer 8

I'd say he has a very good point.
