So Albert Einstein did not, after all, spend all his waking hours chalking up complex symbols on a blackboard. According to letters newly released this week, he devoted quite a bit of it to chasing the ladies. And with considerable success.
To many, the idea of Einstein having 10 mistresses does not fit the classical image of the great, remote genius. Why was he wasting his valuable time with the exhausting business of conducting a string of illicit affairs - affairs that would cause havoc with his family life, damaging especially his relationship with his sons?
The answer is that he, like many other intensely creative men, was over-endowed with one of the human male’s most characteristic qualities: the joy of risk-taking.
Every creative act, every new formula, every ground-breaking innovation, is an act of rebellion that may - if successful - destroy an old, existing concept. So every time a brilliant mind sees a new possibility, it is faced with a moment of supreme risk-taking.
The new formula, the new invention, may not work. It may turn out to be a disaster. But the man of genius - such as Einstein - has the courage to plough ahead, despite the dangers, both on and off the intellectual field.

Seriously, I wonder if it has to do with high T, but in the realm of science advancement?[/quote]
It was always my beleive that cheating isnt high T or you loving another woman. Its not being man enough to break up with your wife/girlfriend if you dont like her anymore.

It’s human nature for me to want to rip off the heads of cheaters too, you just don’t see me wanting to do it.
Cheaters are fucking scum. Male or female. There’s nothing fucking worse than breaking a promise or a dedication. When real men say something, they should mean it. Not shit for the moment or for shits and giggles.

Cop out. I`m sure some animals are more faithful than some humans. Sad definition of human nature.[/quote]
Sure there are, those animals that were programmed to. We are not one of those species.
To the rest of the posters:
The problem of “cheating” only arises if monogamy is expected and quite contrary to what ma, pa, society and your church of choice have told you, that is not the human norm, just a social convention.

In a 1960-1980 survey of the world?s societies, only 186 out of 1231 societies were completely monogamous, the rest practicing polygamy at some degree or another. This means 85% of the world’s societies practiced polygamy to some degree.
and this is in 1960, which is very late. many of these completely monogamous societies, such as europeans ones, had accepted polygamy for a long time until rejecting it much later.
IMO: Men who cheat often suffer from low self-esteem. By putting another ‘notch on his belt’, he can think: “See? I’m a superstud!”
If a man’s wife is a total bitch, I can see where he may turn to another woman. The fact that he had many says it all — behind the image was a weak little man in need of Alpha Male.

You are right.
Now how would you take it if you fell in love with me and I slept with half of the men in this board and posted all the details and held a “social convention” on how Avarage Orange has a penis which is above your avarage banana while you waiting for me at home swallowing your BCAA ( bitch comitted adultery ashamedly ) ?

Or a dominant male, being only as loyal as his oprions forced him to be.
Would any other dominant primate be “weak” if he enjoyed the privileges that were his by right of conquest?
Has any of these primates deserved it more than “my sexual ornament is the fucking Theory of Relativity, bitch”- Einstein?

Animals have no capacity for love, Orion.
Embrace your human nature.
There should be more to you then just what lies below your waist.

Not a bad theory. But, what about Arnold? He is purported to have had many a girlfriend behind Maries back.
Then again he might just be weak and insecure behind that muscular body, financial empire and political dynasty he’s building.
