First off, it is my opinion that

humans are pyschologically, naturally predisposed to a polygamous social structure. I call it my Buffalo Theory.

Where wolves, swans, doves, some fish and that's about it are monogamous, humans are not. Monogamy in humans is

simply fighting against something bigger and base than societal mores imposed by some antiquated religious concept.

Sure, it would be nice to think that your life partner is capable of saying no, but in all honesty, when they stray

from the herd, so to speak, they are open prey. And they want to be preyed upon. We all do.

Everybody wants

to be loved, wanted, desired, etc. It is the ultimate in duplicity that you think that you are going to be able to

fulfill this emotional/pyschological/sexual need completely in your partner regardless of how big a stud or studette

you think you are. (Case in point, didn't Halle Berry's ex-husband go cheating around on her?) And if the soul

mate thing is right, there are 7 billion people on the planet. Do you really think that the chick in your high

school history class is going to be that person?

Besides, do you really think that it's fair to assume

that just because you are going "steady" that someone should relegate themselves to a monogamous (or at least an

exclusive) relationship at the age of 17 or 18? That's crazy talk Ren.

Now listening to: Slowdive's
