The simple two part answers to those questions are—1. Men have a biological need to see, touch, feel, and experience other women it’s just the way it is. 2. A woman’s logic tells her that if she can resist wanting sex or wanting another man, then why can’t he—because he can’t.
It is easy for a woman to say to a man stop “cheating” because she doesn’t have the same biological need. Women control their sexual urges as men control their emotional urges. It would be easy for men to tell women to stop being so emotional because men don’t have a strong need to be emotional. A woman would never tell a man stop eating food. Eating food is a need both sexes share. Needing sex and needing to be emotional are two needs male and females don’t share equally.
If complaining about women’s emotional needs made for high television rating or water cooler conversation we would see more of it. Show themes such as “Does your woman cry during a movie or during PMS?” “Is your woman requesting to be held, because she feels the need?” “Should you buy a quart of ice cream because your woman is not having a good day?” These topics don’t make great headlines or lead-in stories for a talk show or great gossip. One of the reasons is that we as a society accept that women are being emotional. By contrast the topic on men cheating makes for a great story because anytime someone behaves outside of what is normal it becomes an interesting topic.
