Researchers at Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, are stating that they found a correlation between genes of cheating voles( similar to a mouse) and genes of men who cheat on their spouse. The gene was present in 2 out of 5 men studied. The study shows that if you have this gene your more likely to have martial problems. If you have 2 kinds of the gene variant then your in double the trouble. However men who lack the variant are more likely to be devoted to their spouse.
The gene variant studied is believed to regulate the activity of a hormone in the brain and can affect a man's attitudes toward fidelity and monogamy. More than 1,000 heterosexual couples were studied. Researchers looked at men because the hormone is known to play a larger role in their brains than in women's brains. However, the study found that the gene also seems to predict whether women describe their mates as close or distant, and whether the men are more likely to marry, or simply live with their mates.
Women have been overall up set by the research and call it a bunch of crap. One woman stated," This is just another excuse for men to use to justify why they cheated. The whole study was probably start because some scientist couldn't keep in his pants".
Majority of men on the other had seem to agree. One man said,"It makes all the sense in the world. It's not about love, men can love the women he's with but have sex with someone else with no emotion. It's about having fun and living. Men get bored just like women do with their hair styles. What if we told you that you have to keep your hair one way your whole life?"
Is it possible that men have a cheating gene? Well let me remind you of the homosexual gene or gay gene research. Researchers said that there maybe a genetic connection to homosexuality which proved that homosexuality was a human variant, in other word they were "Born That Way." The media immediately bashed the idea of it being genetic. Religious fractions called the research blaspheme. Some even went a far as stating that God would not allow such a variant. That a sinner made the choice to be gay. So, wouldn't cheating be a choice?
I ask what is the difference? Why would we immediately take the cheating gene to be very possible and not the gay gene? What do you think about it?
