All men are flirts ?!

When I heard this sentence many years ago from a friend, I did not quite agree with it as I had always thought that devotion to a lover or spouse, which is quite natural for women, is a quality of many a good gentlemen. But down the lane of experience( of others as well as mine) I slowly started to gain more and more evidences for the fact which is disgusting to many a devoted wives. The saying " Virginity is a lack of opportunity" suits men the best.In an attempt to trace out the root causes of such a behaviour, I realized that the main reason could be the "outcome" of such a behaviour in the most basic sense. It is a plain fact that nature has given the arduous responsibility of bearing the off-springs to women and they are the ones who face the consequences of a relationship. Hence it is quite possible that men's psyche has evolved to look at man-women relationship as an enjoyment alone whereas women's psyche associates it with commitment and responsibility. But as we can see, these attitudes are quite primitive and those of men's is against the later and more evolved version of the society where the concept of "family" came in. One to one relationship is important for the integrity of the family which has many advantages in the social concept. Even the western world which has a very liberal culture, respects it. Hence,in my opinion, wise married men who want to preserve the integrity of the family should try to overcome their "primitive" nature and start respecting the one to one concept which will be a relief to their devoted wives.
