For days after you wrote a certain blog entry about a certain Pearl Boy dating experience, a certain Pearl Boy has been trying his damned hardest to meet you over dinner or coffee. You’re surprised by this because you kind of expected him to never want to see you again after reading what you wrote. Then again, he probably wants some sort of closure with you, and you believe in being fair and nice (even when you think you’ve already used up all your niceness reserves). Ignoring your parents’ threats to chain you up in your room until your corpse is covered in cobwebs, you agree to meet him for a quick dinner and coffee on a Sunday evening.

They claim that monogamy is something unnatural to humans. And that men and women pursue it for different reasons. While men would pursue it due to sexual reasons—some men would argue that it’s natural for men to cheat with all that seed-spreading that needs to be done, women, on the other hand pursue it for emotional reasons—their partner simply doesn’t give as much attention as they’d like. Men need sexual variety, women need validation. It’s cyclical. You meet, you fall in-love, you get comfortable (no longer in-love) and someone starts looking. Looking leads to touching, touching leads to another relationship. It’s a rather simple diagram that some biologists and some psychologists would paint for us.
