| Last
week I saw a TV interview with a well-known actress
who maintained that all men are programmed to cheat.
According to this genius, testosterone surges compel
men to dive into the sack with strangers. The poor
dears can't help themselves, and it's our duty as
women to accept it.
Fortunately,
a well-known sex therapist just happened to be the
show's next guest, and she set the actress straight.
All men do not cheat. All men do not fight their hormones
all day long.
Honorable
men are faithful.

Many
women, like the actress, kid themselves into believing that
men just can't be expected to behave decently. Don't be one
of them. Putting up with substandard treatment from a love
interest can be dangerous (consider AIDS and other STDs).
Expect men to treat you as you would treat them: with love,
loyalty, respect, and passion. No
woman should ever assume that her boyfriend or husband is
biologically incapable of monogamy any more than he is of,
say, clearing a table. The fact is, the world is full of
wonderful men who want to love a woman the way she should
be loved.
Silly
magazine blurbs ("HOW TO GET A GUY TO COMMIT,"
"IS HE CHEATING? 10 TELL-TALE SIGNS!")are designed
to make readers feel insecure enough to "need"
the products advertised within. Do not let them sway you
into accepting shoddy behavior. Ignore misguided proclamations
about male sexuality from women who've talked themselves
into allowing rotten behavior from so-called "lovers."
Raise
your standards. Expect only the best men to enter your life.
Allow no cheaters, liars, abusers, mama's boys, or controlling
toads to cross your threshold.
Hold
out for the man who will adore you and lift you up. He's
out there, and you deserve nothing less.
