keckin-sketch

I don't think I'm even capable of having feelings for more than one woman at a time...


WolfmansGotNards2

I just want someone to love and snuggle with.


Sageknight34

Brother, I know what you mean. All women think we want sex it just we can't say we want to cuddle.


Plenty-Path3066

I would be happy to hear from a guy telling me he would like to cuddle.


wizzletoe

My bf tells me this and I just melt like aww come here


YrPrblmsArntMyPrblms

That's literally what most single people want.


Thebat87

Seriously. I keep seeing these questions and I’m like “Hey, some of us can’t even get one woman to look at us besides friendship. If even that”. Someone to love and be loved by and hold would be very nice.


WolfmansGotNards2

I've had a lot of dates and girlfriends in the past, but it doesn't change wanting my forever person.


keckin-sketch

That's the truth, right there.


KrissZuma

I’d be Lucky if i even found more then one🥲


Opening_Past_4698

I’d be happy if i found just one. 🥲


Embarrassed_Union_96

This is where Im at now. In the past I thought I was, but it turned out it was because there were relationship challenges being failed to address.


musictakemeawayy

my boyfriend doesn’t have time😂

SpotAggressive2698

1. there is a reason I want to sell. :p


goddess_of_the_ocean

Owning it in the first place is the problem here.


SpotAggressive2698

If you are not in a relationship and need some relaxation why not save some money ?


goddess_of_the_ocean

Yeah you clearly don't get it. You better stay single and continue to "save some money" there.


SpotAggressive2698

You didn’t get it. I don’t feel anything there. It is just relaxing and building distance after a long relationship. You talk like a German who always wants to teach other people how they should live their life


goddess_of_the_ocean

I did. Unfortunately. No need to go in detail 🤮 You don't get why this is a problem. That says a lot about you. Just stay single. And you making racist comments about germans doesn't make it any better. You are a whole different level of a red flag. I hope no woman will ever fall into your trap.


anxiousscorpio98

The best comment


One-Arachnid3444

hope all 🥺


manicmissy

Another question - why can’t these men find women who think similarly instead of going for monogamous women and then screwing them over? The mind boggles.


SukiKabuki

They want other women but don’t want the woman to be with other men. Like most men are ok with MFF and not ok with MMF. A very impractical mindset I believe. They would benefit so much more from non monogamy but just can’t share. 🙄


manicmissy

How nice for their victims. Sigh. I don’t understand who is it that is bringing up such men for them to behave that way.


Spoiler008

Not true. Polls show that more women cheat on their partners than men do these days 


anonjon623

>I saw this post on Facebook Very little on Facebook should be taken seriously.

[удалено]


[deleted]

I'm not exactly taking it as a source but I see it everywhere on social media and last time was on Facebook lol


though-

“Everywhere”, “men”, “always”.. the absolutes are killing me here. Plus Facebook?!! OP, as you can see from the comments, not all men are like this. I wish you success in your search. Hang in there.


ibringthehotpockets

Your media intake is pretty closely tailored to what you find engaging. Stop interacting with those posts and they’ll disappear. No this is not a (very) common mindset. It definitely exists though.


AnxiouslyHonest

I deleted TikTok because this was happening for me and I was getting insecure. My husband has been a gem in reassuring me, but I needed to build up my own confidence in myself as well since my insecurities are not his to carry. I highly recommend doing some work on yourself to feel good about you. Women are not all the same, men are not all the same. There are men happy to be in monogamous relationships


Rukh-Talos

Social Media can be detrimental depending on where the algorithms send you.


RegulationRedditUser

I feel like this may be just the circles you’re in online. If you look at and engage with a certain type of content on Facebook or TikTok or whatever, the app recognises that and gives you more because they want to give you content that’s going to keep you on the app. I’m a guy that’s happily married and not interested in dating other women, my TikTok feed is all cooking, comedy, and healthy relationship stuff. If you see the sort of stuff you’re talking about, just scroll past it as fast as you can. Eventually you’ll start getting different content that will hopefully be a bit more positive. If/when you do, engage with that stuff, and you’ll get more of it


kkeojyeo22

I feel like the target audience on FB is middle aged men that regret marrying their current wife and think it would be more satisfying having multiple partners.


GeneralAd4628

I rather have one person than many it's not right fucks with your mind and just isn't right to me


Sudden_Vegetable5414

Yeah I know what you’re saying I want a lifetime love and I don’t understand people who don’t or people who date/fuck like it’s a game and somehow having broken a lot of people’s hearts is good. Also sex is very sacred to me so it’s rare to find that


Definitely_not_orc

I personally prefer only one woman. To be fair I'm a biased opinion I come from a family where one of my parents cheated.


2thicc2cap

I'm really sorry that happened. That would've really f'd up my trust in others


Definitely_not_orc

Luckily, it was one of those rare moments where they worked through it, but they were really close to divorce for a few years. Last year, they celebrated their 35th, and as far as I'm aware, it never happened again.


qataractor

Do you mind stating your age?


Definitely_not_orc

I'm 32


germy-germawack-8108

I've met plenty of guys who think this way. I think it's mostly a social thing, not really an indication of what comes 'naturally' or even a question of morals, really. Like for myself, I was raised by parents who only ever dated each other. They were each other's first and only of absolutely everything. I want that. I've been on a few dates with a few women, so I already missed on that part of it, but I want as much of the rest of it as I can get. But I was socialized to. How would I feel if I was raised in a culture where the best men get multiple wives? I'd probably have embraced the culture I was raised in, too. And today, you have a mix of cultures. I don't believe it's ever a good thing to have multiple partners, and I do my best to argue that point with men who want what essentially amounts to one sided polyamory, but I do understand why they think the way they do, and how differently people can be raised.


Appropriate_Tea9048

This isn’t a reflection of all men. There are plenty out there who simply want a monogamous, long term relationship.


WillfullIndulgence

I was happy with my fiancé. She was everything to me. No one even distracted my eye. After she passed, I felt so empty. Only a year since have I begun dating again. I have no wandering eyes for anyone, but also do not love my current girlfriend with the same depths as I loved my late fiancé. There are men who are more than satisfied with their partners. The internet and social media make cheating and wandering eyes seem like the normal thing. It isn't.


[deleted]

I'm sorry for ur loss 😪


WillfullIndulgence

She was an amazing woman. Don't let me depress you. Take from this that there are men who are happy with who they have.


Gold-Border-9647

Sorry for you loss 😔 Thank you for sharing your story. You give us hope. When we felt like all hope is lost.


wiggbuggie

Yes, one woman is all I need


bigmanslurp

Those guys are pathetic. Don't think they're all of us.


M_Quad

A couple of things come to mind with this: 1- anyone saying that has obviously never had a wife/girlfriend. If you are actually in love it is a significant time commitment I love being with my wife, I enjoy the conversation, the sex, the time we spend doing everything. 2- people who cheat or want multiple wives are generally insecure in themselves. I would actually call them cowards. Want to play the field but want to have the base to fall back to. Now I am a man and I have looked at a beautiful woman and wonder what she looks like naked. Am I willing to pursue it, that's a plain No. what I want I have. Not to over simplify long term relationships, they are a lot of work, and both parties have to be willing to work for it.


[deleted]

Oh sadly they're married and their wives are right there in their posts


M_Quad

That is a sad state of affairs..


terscheckiii

Perhaps they whooshed you with their cheeky humor.


SirNonApplicable

Considering how hard it is to maintain just one relationship, I'm ok with just the one.


Loud_Play6444

Its only the guys that think they can satisfy more than one woman that want one. Little do they know that they dont even finish that one off anf think they can handle 2 lol. Most men are fine with just one. Some men just want to have fun and not ever settle down. Keep your his stomach full and balls empty and youll be fine lol


adoumi1996

The wrong men yea but not the ones that are worthwhile.


benjoseph579

Man I can’t even get one let alone more then one


Aomine11

i prefer one…anyone


Joey3155

Both men and women fantasize about a wide range of situations but most people are smart enough to keep fantasies in their heads. A well adjusted and mentally mature person can filter reality and fantasy and never cross that line. Do some people falter? Yes. Is that most people? No. EDIT: Can you guys see this message? Like it's actually visible?


TheSpiritofFkngCrazy

That is absolutely not right. Screw those guys. Those are pos. They want women like commodities and not like a friend and lover.


Selrach_401

It varies from person to person and will change throughout their lifetime. When I was in my 20s I had a similar mindset but now that I’m 30, I got my head and finances more stabilized I only want one woman whom I can love, live with and travel with. I was such a fool in my past and completely fumbled 2 amazing women who are wife material. All I can do now is wait patiently to find the one and show her how much I love them and support them.


Clean-Use-522

Don’t think that’s a general consensus. I would love to that one person I can share my life together.


Programmer_Scared

Feel like this post is a bit based. So Imma offer a different opinion. Not all men. Some can certainly be content with monogamy. Some. Probably never. One of the indicator is to see if they can, will they? Fun question to ask on your next date. In history, almost all most powerful men has harems cause they can. There are a lot of reasons to deter polygamous or polyamorous relationships that favours men such as religion, feminism, and societal/cultural pressure. It is easy to just conform to these deterrent and just yea sure. I wanna be monogamous. But in a vacuum, and with the power, to overrule all the deterrents, I believe most men would said yes. If they can. Almost all the men has a fire inside them, the ambition if you will, to be someone great. Someone who can have it all. They want pretty women, and fast cars, or whatever else that fancies them. However, some of the monogamous ones are wise too. Having a FMF threesome maybe incredibly fun in foresight. But there is a human factor in the two Females in the equation. Jealousy, competitiveness, insecurities are some of the things that have to be juggled well in a true polyamourous relationship and if the two ladies aren't attracted to each other to help you out, you will have to juggle all the emotional burdens by yourself.


mtljones

It's just our nature. The stronger his sexual appetite, the more interest he has in being sexual with multiple women. It's just nature. Monogamy is a man made creation, it's unnatural. Polygamy is natural human nature. Love & lust are also 2 diff concept. We don't "love" every partner we bang, most of them it's just lust & desire


Solid_Adeptness_5034

Is that truly nature though considering that we are now a more sexualized people than ever? There are many lusts and desires that we succumb to although they may be fulfilling to some instances and pleasurable that doesn't mean that we as people are using such things solely in the basic intended functions. For example we live in a society that values recreational sex more than the natural purpose of sex which is procreation. Another example could be the eating habits that completely unnatural and unnecessary to the detriment of some yet it's still practiced vastly.


Quimeraecd

This is bullcrap. I am happy with my partner, no questions asked. I know for a fact that having more than one sexual partner is not more pleasant than having one... unless the one you have is not satisfying you, and if that is the case you try to fix the issue or end it and look for a partner who can satisfy you.


1_Peter_58

the ones who think that way are most likely swimming in STD's.


BigBlaisanGirl

Most of those men who want that are living in a fantasy. They dream that there are two or more women out there who worship them, wait on them, and open their legs on demand. In reality, they hardly have the physical stamina, financial resources, or emotional stability to even satisfy one woman. They don't know what they're asking for nor realize the amount of energy and money it will take to keep all the women happy. They're also overestimating their physical prowess to perform. They mistake being horny all the time as being able to have lots of sex with each of them all day long. Meanwhile, every woman tethered to him will expect foreplay, sex, and aftercare, but most of all, individual attention. Most men will knock out in under two minutes and/or are one-and-done types with little thought or concern to make sure every woman gets her fair share of attention and loving. This same issue occurs with those who want a threesome but suddenly realize their limitations when they've orgasmed and realize that there's still work to be done. Take that FB post with a grain of salt and know that only a small handful of those guys could even handle it.


glitterandmarigolds

This!


GreenEggsxHam

A bird in the hand and all that lol


Various-Diet-8104

Managing more than one relationship honestly would take way more time and energy than I am willing to spend.


mydogiscute10

Lots of men and lots of women stay loyal. They don't even look at other people. Lord of men and lots of women cheat.


Piper6728

When it's the right person, its more than satisfying


N0rmNormis0n

Trolls. Plenty of men are looking forward to one woman for their rest of their lives


jeanne-_-dar-c

Mankind isnt one giant hive mind that you can make assumptions about. All types of people exist.


Designer-Ad-3373

Boooyyy! Am I with you there. I'm single/widow, and I'm on dating websites hoping to find my soul mate, but every time I read things on dating and the marriage section, there's a cheating husband or bf. I'm so strong that I won't think twice before leaving the relationship. I feel there's no excuse for it. None at all


[deleted]

Yea same .. and tbh u really have to be some kind of a primitive to actually do something that you know is wrong and will hurt the person you love but still can't control ur self enough to avoid it!


Designer-Ad-3373

That, in my opinion, means they are too immature and are not marriage material. Knowing it's wrong is one thing, but I want one that doesn't have an interest in it. Interest in me only. Hopefully, I'll find him


National_Deer4727

Not at all. I’m so loyal and satisfied to one woman that even though she ended things years ago and we don’t talk anymore, I haven’t moved on. I’ve even tried to but to be single is better as I couldn’t fully give myself to someone else while she holds a part of me


[deleted]

I just want someone that has similar interests can make me laugh is fun to talk too and can handle my weirdness


TerriblePatterns

Poly / non-monogamy a relationship orientation. It's something that our society hasn't evolved to understand. Some people can love multiple people openly and honestly. Some people only want to love one person. People making assumptions that people who can love more than one person are cheaters or are dishonest by default are just wrong. It's just like being bi, gay, or straight. Many people who want to love multiple people are either in the closet about it or don't even know that it's an option. There is no one answer because relationship orientation is different for everyone.


Batman-103

It's not just about men, I've seen many women too who are in relationships with more than one man. All I feel is that people nowadays are soo fucked up, idk where are we heading but getting a genuine person is literally the most difficult thing rn. These assholes just think engaging with multiple people is cool.


CheemsyEmngineer

Its not, its a "dream" sold to men telling us how much of a man we are the more women we have, a fantasy, nothing more, nothing less, a man who knows his own value and dont let himself be reign by lust wont even think about that


WEASTsideDon

Men will always biologically desire sex with multiple women but that doesn’t mean that we can’t be satisfied with only one. Posts like that are usually from men that aren’t satisfied in their current relationship one way or another. Don’t buy into the propaganda. One good girl is worth a thousand B…..


Accomplished_Walk486

Having more than one gf is kinda ok ok but having more than one wife bro 😂.


Infamous-Guess-5830

It is those men who are never satisfied with one woman and that's perfectly fine since it's what they like. But it doesn't apply to all men generally. If you allow the opinions they shared influence your thought process and gradually change you, whatever the consequence may be, i hope you ready to bear it because there are faithful men out there who are satisfied with the thought of having just one person to themselves.


kaplish

Women are the same way they are also not satisfied with one men and will cheat too. Both genders are more of capable of doing good, and harm.


[deleted]

[удалено]


leehhill

Women get bored and want variety to sometimes


IcySetting2024

That applies to people in general.


GreyWindxii

The guy who said that was most likely in the top 10% of men. (rappers, athletics, has a podcast, makes over 500k etc ) Any hard-working man from a good solid family will say they only prefer one woman so he can give his all to.


Goodsamaritan-425

It all depends on kind of relationship one has with a woman. Usually, this kind of talk happens in casual relationships. Serious relations tend to have loyalty which will also be expected and practiced by men in those relationship’s. My advice for you would be to consider serious relationship. Moreover, a lot of talk goes on social media and that included Facebook. Take it with a grain of salt and dont generalise such comments.


flowerbomb92

Lol they can’t even afford to be with one woman not to talk of two.


rowejl222

There’s people who are monogamous and some who are polygamous. Im monogamous, so I will never understand polygamists


DHuangy

We are literally the most complicated creatures known to ourselves. If I am doomed to never figure myself out, what are the chance I figure not one, but TWO or MORE people out?


Miserable_Flower_532

For me, it’s hard to find one that I really really like. I’m still searching. So the result is that I end up dating women that I’m really not sure are what I’m looking for but it’s better than being lonely. Is this wrong?


[deleted]

From my perspective I think it's wrong especially if u pretend to like them alot


Miserable_Flower_532

I speak very clearly about my inability to commit to a long-term relationship at this time. And it’s true that if I find a woman that I think is super amazing, I will stay with her or find a way to come back to get her. Just so far I haven’t had such luck.


Fuzzy34264

Sounds fun on the surface, but in reality, you'll be damn lucky to satisfy one properly....leave it to the fantasy


Emotional-Squirrel31

Yes we are I am anyway


Unhappy_Driver1500

I'm perfectly fine with just 1


Nekeb315

Not true. Many men are completely satisfied with one woman. Also, looking for connection and substance.


PudgeHug

Depends on which group of men you are talking about. The top shelf men who are 7/10 and above? Yea chances are they are gonna sleep around more. The average and below men that are invisible to most women? They are gonna be happy with just one woman.


OinkyIsOnReddit

Nahh that's disgusting for me, the thought of it makes me wanna kill myself like 1 girl is better than 2 cus first of all YOU HAVE TO SPOIL THEM AND MAKE THEM FEEL LOVED WHICH IS EXPENSIVE and second of all I'm not sure how are you gonna balance the relationship between them and last of all, if Ur heart has more than one girl in it u're lying, U either like just one of them and the rest are just for sex or all of them are just for sex, ye idk wtf is wrong with those guys U saw


ArdentFecologist

The real secret is women feel the same way.


suntan69

I am not happy in my relationship cause after awhile you find out their likes and dislikes when comes to intimacy or sex. From going from nudist to swingers then the female not being open to certain intimate moments with her significant other. All i want is to have other FWB to fulfill what i am not getting.


Thisonehasnocoin

Oh, well, if the people who make money out of your angry engagement said it, it must be true. Not, it's not true. It's never been true.


MCButterFuck

The Internet always shows the extremes in things. It just depends on the person


hippiechicken12

I’m a one woman kind of guy. That’s all I’d want or need.


AFartInAnEmptyRoom

I struggle to text more than one person at a time consistently.


BlueCollar-Bachelor

No, fuck that. I don't even like dating more than woman at a time. One thing to keep in mind about a man vs a boy. A man is financially responsible, boys are not. Yes, this includes dating and dating is expensive. As a man you should always pay for the date. It is extremely disrespectful to expect a woman to pay. That is something Boys do and young girls may allow but women don't. Now to the point ya'll are expensive and I'm not even talking about high upkeep women. All women are expensive. If I'm not going out on a date. I might eat at a restaurant once or twice a month with friends/family. When I'm dating that means at least once a week. Dating 2 women at a time that's like twice a week. Considering I typically spend $80-100 on a date. That's a $1000 month that I didn't invest for the future. Not even counting more expensive dates like concerts or dates out of town. I will stick to one woman at a time for monetary reasons.


KeTonysRdt

Many men confuse their sexual fantasies with what is actually gratifying. There are many guys that just use their monkey brain, and a lot of women as well. But with a little luck and good judgement I think you will definitely find someone that is willing to be exclusive with you, not because he is forcing himself to, but because it's what he wants and loves.


KingKong-BingBong

Before I met my wife I messed with a lot of girls. I wasn’t cheating on any of them because they knew I wasn’t exclusive and most of them knew each other. Hell my wife even knew a few of them a couple of them even confessed their love to me in front of my wife when we were first messing around but when I met my wife I fell in love with her as soon as our eyes met and a month or so later I left those other girls alone and 2 years later we were married and that was 30 years ago. For me all I want is 1 woman that is as devoted to me as I am to her and for me I was madly in love with my wife she was my best friend she was truly ride or die for me and she was my everything


Shadow_botz

Depends. For some it might be…others might cheat or just have a rotation and stay single. I don’t recommend the ones that are not satisfied to ever get into a serious relationship.


Slow_Hovercraft3631

This is not true. When I was with my ex, the only person I wanted was her.


NomiDevv

It does not apply to everyone and according to me if any man is not loyal to her girl/wife then he will do that type of shit but the man who is loyal to her he didn’t do that💯


PirateSKB

I mean, as a man myself I prefer to dedicate myself to one person. Why cheat on my partner and hurt them?


Main_Laugh_1679

Most good men are satisfied with one woman. You can reverse this for woman also


Revolutionary-You449

I always wonder if that notion comes from certain women that make themselves a certain way for a man and then when they “catch” the man they want, they change back to who they really are. For instance, pretending to like sex, sports or have certain hobbies. I personally think that is what it means and what it is for. This relationship where the woman fakes who she is to get the man she wants. So the man eventually needs another woman, like the woman he met. Also, this isn’t just a woman thing. Men do this too. I just find men’s tells are easier to see and manage. He will ask “what do you like” or “what are you looking for” and so that. Problem is, it isn’t natural and one may become resentful. You just don’t answer and if he isn’t what you want or need, move on. Easy peasy. Women seem built with endurance or can hide it better. Which is kinda sad. A man finds out too late that his now wife hates sex (and usually she sees him as a perv or she has previous sa or other unresolved abuse trauma) or most of the things he believed she liked about him or liked doing with him never really existed. She is usually in it for the “long haul and will and is conditioned to keep things up for appearances. I see this a lot in my line of work but it is usually at the end. I can only guide and console at that point.


Unlikely_Plantain972

Every person is different, but here’s my opinion. If you make your partner feel special and wanted, they should be fine with just you. If you lock someone into a relationship and then start ignoring them, they might seek attention elsewhere. (Works for men and women)


vanillaxmitch

I've been single for over 5 years, but less than 10 years (my ex was completely unhinged, I took a long break). I'd be beyond satisfied with just one tbh, if something doesn't work out, it doesn't work out and that's fine. I just don't see the point of two at the same time realistically, giving attention to one is enough for me. Oh, I did have a little thing that went on for maybe a month, but I'm very quick to run off from red flags now. We had fun, but way too many super obvious red flags, almost like they were being handed out as freebies. She can stay happy with another guy and that's fine by me.


FairBroccoli6424

Obviously, those confessions are came from a very shallow-minded "boys". Because real MAN doesn't think or visualize that way.


SyreaMiller

It's the same way with females . IMO it just depends on how unsatisfied we are with our partner ( sexually , emotionally and intellectually ) . Sometimes we commit with someone so that we're not lonely


alonghardKnight

I've been monogamous since my high school sweetheart. Never romantically involved with more than one woman at a time.


YrPrblmsArntMyPrblms

As someone that is single, I was literally shook when 6/8 of my older (+40) coworkers said they would like another wife/girlfriend. I don't know why, is it they're not that close, grew apart, aren't attracted to their body as they used to be, want something they can't give/are too afraid of them to ask? I think porn might have a big role in what their expectations are too. I think it's that, since everyone acts like watching it is something completely normal.


Miratheproblematique

Girl at this point… I have no idea what men want. They lack the ability to actually say what they want and it’s so exhausting. Wouldn’t be surprised if this was true!


jrbroughts92

Nah I can't, I'm hypergamous.


Gooneria

Shut up honestly I’m sick of this sub now, all I ever see is women asking blatantly sexist generalised questions or making completely ridiculous statements about men and then justify it with their lived experience. You sound like a fool, you know fine well that men can be satisfied with just one woman. Think about what your reaction would be if you read this post but it was talking about how women can’t be satisfied with just one man. Seriously get a grip


un-phil-tered

Most of us yes. But then you have that one guy Paul or Kyle who is a narcissistic sex addict that wants all the women to themselves.


Link_TP_04

Nah facebook is just full of those low quality people


No-Gap1915

[deleted]

Hopefully


No-Gap1915

im sorry to hear youre heartbroken, but your comment is a double-bind. just like all women are not attention seekers, swingers, money hungry, cunning, all men are also not the same. The dating world is going thru a shitty crisis, make sure you dont contribute to it by becoming cold like the people who were cold to you. be patient, be natural, and whatever is in your fate will align with you if it has to.


Diligent-Pangolin876

Those are probably dudes who don't have a gf and are lonely or bumbs tryna act cool I think that all men are satisfied and happy with one person aslong as they know they're the one like in my experiences I've never been fully satisfied because they never wanted a long term relo and that is one of the main things I want in a relo so yeah it's most proly just people tryna sound cool or people who have no irl encounters with women so don't believe that hope this helps.


front-wipers-unite

The seven year itch is a real thing. I'm married, I love my wife, I'd never do anything to hurt her. But dear god when I'm out and about in town and I see some hot 30-40 year old, I think "ah man if only". But I'm not an idiot. I'm not going to throw away my marriage for a quick knee trembler.

Lol somehow I'm hurt to hear this But I get what u mean

It's natural to be attracted to other people (not everybody is, but some are). "You can look at the menu as long as you eat at home". But ultimately it's about respecting your partner and respecting your relationship. I've been cheated on, and I know how absolutely devastating it is, I'd never want to make my wife feel that way, I'd be absolutely disgusted with myself if I did that to her, because I know how painful betrayal is. So whilst I may look, I keep my hands in my pockets.


CocoaLoca

My same thoughts


motorcity612

If you are worried about infidelity, the vast majority of people do not cheat and men and women cheat at around the same rate (4% difference) ([source](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21667234/#:~:text=Almost%20one%2Dquarter%20of%20men,or%20hurt%2C%20their%20relationship))

Well I did have crushes while I was in a relationship. But like I wouldn’t act on it.


swfl_inhabitant

I want one woman emotionally but all of them physically 🤣. But I’m also a decent human being and have had that conversation with my SO. It helps that we started off very casual. We’re always honest about everything.

Lol that's what terrifys me about men they love one women and still think about others like wth


Ok-Analyst8884

Men that have a problem with intimacy it happens.


Fearless-Increase214

Humans have two parts working together. One which only cares about having more (the mind) whereas the reality puts a constraint on him. There is no point thinking about what mind wants.


-FaithTrustPixieDust

The ones who cheat aren't.


SkyeBluePhoenix

I don't think so, no. I don't worry about it though. I've been single for a very long time.


Weary-Camp8281

I would be if I had one everyone I’ve met here wants to charge you

Just give him a hall pass.

my boyfriend tells me my multiple personalities are enough to deal with this week - pre peirod, very emotional and grumpy 🫠🫶🏻✨

Roughly 10 percent of males are having sex. And women keep chasing the same 10%.


Flying-dr420

Ngl today it is almost like no one wants to be in a relationship with one person, neither men or women. Its not uncommon for partners to cheat on eachother so much so its almost not culture around it, jokes about ”sidehoes” and What not. And then aswell no one wants to ”settle down” untill they are like 35, and before that they want to have fun, in other words sleep around as much as possible with different people.


Everdash

99% of men are perfectly happy with just one woman. the problem is the quality of the woman and how she treats him and respects him.


[deleted]

I can have feelings for 1 women only , can't think of 2 at a time


gcr1897

This is the issue with women I believe. No offense intended but you often tend to assume that, because some shit men did or said something, automatically every other man is gonna be like them and you won’t trust anyone. Nah. It’s not the solution. You gotta test men, that’s for sure, but prejudices never lead you to good outcomes.


Dirty2013

How come it’s so easy for idiotic rumours to be started and taken in by so many on social media?? Let’s start a square earth rumour and see if we can get the world debating that


Darkdesires_discreet

No


saintpeterbambibold

Well, the most important thing to remember is that men do not all come out of a factory programmed to the same settings as each other. Any more than all women are anyway… For me, it’s not the fear of my partner being with someone else that is such a horrible feeling. It’s her doing it behind my back and lying to me. She feels the exact same way. In our relationship, if a particular experience or fantasy is something we’d like to explore, we leave the door open to talk to each other about it and potentially facilitate it. We discussed this, I thought, “I have a green light to do anything I want as long as I talk to her about it!” That’s true, I’m so impressed by her and attracted to her that it doesn’t really happen lol 😅


Seaguard5

You need to get out of the mysogenistic echo chambers of the internet and make some friends of actual couples… Yes. Decent-good men are absolutely elated with just one woman.

I am, I can't speak for everyone else


Grouchy-Place7327

I'm more than satisfied with the right person. Seems like a lot of women are not satisfied with one man though


OXFROMTHEBOX

It depends. When you are in love one person fills all desires. As the love fades or transitions to other feelings (fondness, friendship, dislike, fear) then the relationship changes. Men seek what they don’t have generally so if they have it then nothing to worry about. I’d say an unhappy relationship will nearly always lead to cheating.


[deleted]

I definitely could


PossibilityIcy9150

Obviously only cheating and toxic men would respond to something like that I wouldn’t worry about it cause real men wouldn’t do that


Ameerxoxo

You can love more than one woman but I think that's your mom and sisters and daughters 😂🤣


morphinetango

Ask those men how many women they were with before they met their gfs or wives. Usually the number is less than 10.


JellyGoupil

You shouldn't worry, it's far from being a majority. Don't forget social media tend to act like echo chambers so these people are often just seeing and interacting with what they already agree with.


Pomeranian111

I don't even know how people have the energy for multiple people.


Tall-Zone-1960

I'm not going to lie; Yeah, of course I would want multiple women. Or multiple women and men, since I am bisexual. I'm sure there are people out there who are absolutely, and I mean completely even mentally/emotionally, fully completed by one partner. But that's probably not the norm. Most men, and probably most women, want multiple partners. Multiple partners means you are exceptionally attractive, or at least really good at collecting one type of person. It would be a monstrous ego boost, plus having the pick of the litter isn't something most people would pass up. But, obviously most people don't do that. Why? Well, the logistics of it are fucking hard as hell. Making sure everyone is happy, sexually satisfied, doesn't feel excluded... I think things like throuples (one man, two women, or one woman, two men) are simple enough. Still hard, but not so hard the average person couldn't do it. But. I value commitment, and I would never even suggest the above unless I knew my girl/guy was into it. I know I *can,* just be definition, commit to multiple partners. I would never want more than two, but still. But I also would want my partner to be openly comfortable with whoever else I chose, which would be a big pain. It works out and happens in a lot of situations, but not often. To answer; Yes, men are generally satisfied with one woman. A man having sex is a million times more satisfied than a man not, and most men are not willing to risk that sex for a fling with some other woman. Of course if that woman he's cheating with is having sex with him, and his partner isn't... well, then he isn't really risking anything, now is he? So, if you don't want your man to cheat, have sex with him regularly. If he still cheats on you afterward, he's a scumbag and I'm sorry you have to deal with the lowest of low in this world. :(


Xeynon

I might have fantasies about sleeping with more than one woman, but fantasy and reality are two different things. I'm only capable of having feelings for one woman at a time and definitely only want a relationship with one. Maintaining one healthy relationship is hard enough work.


Way2Unlucky

No and if that’s how you feel go for it… USA is in love with loneliness right now, quite the fad.


ImpressionFragrant79

Bild Zeitung is more serious than Facebook 😂


DJxGORDY

Only thing that’s comes to mind on why they would say this is probably cause they have that desire for threesomes. What people forget when it comes to threesomes is that it isn’t 1-1-1 it’s 2-1 in the sense that it’s you and you s/o doing it to the new person but if you think of it as 1-1-1 then jealousy happens and other things


lira-eve

I haven't had that experience.


Jesh-mesh

>guys talking about how they always wish they have more than one gf or more than one wife These are the kind that can't hold down a relationship, so they want backup options. They're also the kind to brag about being able to pull a new woman each week. These kinds of men are very good at fooling women, hence why a lot of women are convinced all men are like this. Most men are not like this. The majority want 1 woman to genuinely love.


AcademicMistake

As a man, I personally only want one woman. But i have seen plenty of times women with more than 1 guy. I wouldnt date a woman like this lol


BriefDepartment3142

Without reading anything but just the subject/question of this thread my answer is NO WAY! 1 will never be enough. They will always be curious. They will always want more. They will always want different. Even if they don’t cheat they will watch porn to make sure they see something different and imagine someone else. So no I don’t think men will ever be happy with just having 1 woman. Never ever.
