Myth or Fact?

I had an interesting conversation with a guy friend a couple of days back; he claimed that no man is satisfied with just one woman.

Is that true??

Meg:
First , please someone quantify "satisfaction"

When have you found go / no-go. answers in subjective topics.....

:)

( I like the name Word. Couldron)

Well, as AA pointed out, it has a lot to do with what you call as "satisfaction".

I don't think that humans were supposed to mate for a life time. At some point in our evolutionary process, we discovered that there was much to gain by living structured lives. Hence, society (or herd at that point?), forced men and women to live entire lives together. A major reason being that bringing up human offspring is usually 15 yrs job, without stable families, kids would not make it.

I think every man desires someone else at various points in his life (even in committed relationships), but societal pressures make him "not stray". But there is no denying that the want is there.

I would imagine something similar for single women, though I wouldn't know for sure.

NOT TRUE !!!

I would change it from no man to many men, cause there are a few who are exceedingly loyal :)

Abhishek,
Thanks:) I appreciate your feedback!

Yoda,
You're right in a lot of ways..but I think `love' as well as societal pressures can keep a person of either sex in faithful:)

Radha,
haha..Thanks for the affirmation:))

Suramya,
I agree!!

Moi,

Awww..my apologies! I think its a subjective issue as the guys pointed out and it varies from person to person (if it is true at all).

Bhaiya,
I would actually change few men from many men.

Honestly, I don't know any men who don't want to be with their one and only love for life. (ok-There might be 1 or 2 spattered across who don't)

Suramya said...

I think it completely depends on the man and the woman.

But on the whole most people are honest with their partners most of the time.

Subhi, that post wasn't mine.

Suramya, would you mind posting a pic in your profile so that people don't keep confusing your posts as mine?

Chica, Cienna, and Cali said...

haha...i love the confusion between two Suramayas!!!

suramya said...

ha ha, ok I hope this is better :)

Suramya said...

Moi,
I guess it is pretty funny. The problem is that people are not used to seeing more than one 'Suramya' at a time. If it was a name like Amit, or Jessica or some other common name this confusion would not be there... Hopefully the pics will help.

Suramya,
Thanks. Hopefully this will help.

Meg,

Men are not "satisfied" with one women.
This might be true depending upon the fact that what that satisfaction comes from.
Sex is obviously a major part, but scientifically, men and women have the same drive. So that eliminates it. There are countless other things, like looking for a partner compatible enough for men to express themselves, as that is their weakest point. At that point though, women are the best helpers;the more you get, the better it gets.
And, usually, people tend to relate to this "friend", who "gets it all" as their soulmate. So if you think about it, it actually might be quite right!
And then, we could take into consideration whatever yoda said.

Entrepreneuri,
Lol..I'm glad that there are so many men like that out there:)

Suramya-with-the pic,
I agree..I think honesty is one of the mainstays of a relationship.

Suramya-without-the-pic-who-now-has-a-pic,
That's a pretty pic:)

Anonymous,
Hmm..thanks for stopping by WC and for your feedback!

Suramya said...

Suramya said...

Thanks.

hey meg..
BUt were u able to quantify!?
:)


Its like having a Group Discussion between 20 people to decide the name of the company they want to firm in their first meeting

..
"there is no Single answer".. and you can just never conclude!!

suramya said...

meg: thank you

moi: you should not have any trouble recognising me :):)

suramya: thats so true, who knew so many suramya's existed in this world???????

Lotus Reads said...

Shouldn't that work both ways? ;)

Seriously tho'...I am of the opinion that no one person can satisfy us completely and it is unfair to expect them to, but somehow, I don't think that is what your friend meant! ;)

Megster said...

Abhishek,
I didn't try to quantify..and you're right about the lack of a decisive answer for this question!

Lotus,
I doubt it too:) and yeah, it could very well work for both sexes:)

Steve said...

Sorry for a delayed response to this but here goes...

Are there a bunch of Bill Clinton wannabes here? Define satisfaction?

Any guy who claims he can't be satisfied with one woman lacks the self confidence to be honest with women and himself.

We're talking about relationships and the key to a successful relationship is that both parties mature as the relationship does.

Some guys are too insecure to deal with reality.
