That was a good read, Mozza. Thanks for suggesting it. I'm always fascinated by the whole nature vs nurture business, especially since becoming a parent. It's always very interesting to watch the differences between my daughters. D3 is just a natural badas*. D7 always starts stuff, and D3 finishes it. While they share striking similarities, its fascinating that the shuffling of DNA from the same two sources created two such markedly different individuals.
I can fully buy into some genetically determined character traits being part of the infidelity puzzle, although, like Gan, I'm firmly in the camp that everyone is capable of it. I'm sure hormones, age (maturity level), and the people that one surrounds one self with also play a part, outside of the relationship dynamics. You know, I've been thoroughly evaluated, sliced and diced, so many times in my career - lets see - I'm an INFP (Meyers Briggs), a "Strategic Maximizer" (I forget the name of that test) and a "Green" (analytical), although in times of stress I exhibit traits from all four color types (don't remember the name of that one either). Those tests and the discussions around them are always interesting and constructive, but it always makes be uneasy when the person administering them starts to make sweeping generalizations about people's personalities. I have the same natural instinct whenever I read an article like this as to those tests. I think they have value (particularly genetics which is more of a hard science), but at the end of the day I come back to my basic theory, which is that human beings are freakin' complicated, and nothing explains all of capacities and nuances.
I appreciate your updates Mozza, obviously you are traveling a different route than many here, and I for one, am always a little intrigued by the path not taken. Carry on
