Quote:A man who isn't going to cheat on his wife, isn't going to cheat on his wife regardless of what the temptations are.Yep. But then there's a class of men who won't cheat on their wives unless faced with a certain degree of temptation. There are a lot of men in that class.
Quote:I didn't take a stupid position.Yes, you did, and you keep doubling down on it.
Quote:I don't care if you agree with me. I do not believe that going to Vegas will make a married man more likely to cheat on his wife than he was when he wasn't in Vegas. I haven't seen any proof to suggest that being way from his wife and near sinners will change the probably of a man cheating.I have. I've known guys who did just that. Further, again, it's a very common part of the human condition. Is a dieter better off with or without a carton of ice cream in the freezer? Most are better off without. It's simplistic to say If they're not going to eat ice cream, they're not going to eat ice cream, and that's that.
