Why does my boyfriend / husband chat with other women?

It may not come as a big surprise to you that men are a total different species then women. The male gender come with very specific, sometimes seemingly awkward characteristics indeed. Yet, if we take a closer look into some of those male behavioural patters, such as the need to get attention from more then one woman then you might get an understanding of the how's and why's.

Why does my husband chat with other women?

Men are genetically polygamic

In the early times of human existence, and even before that when we were apes, the very existence of our race was based on survival. In short, food (hunting, gathering) and having as many offspring as possible. As the task of females was solely based on preparing food and taking care of the offspring, the men were tasked to collect food and spread their seed. And in those days that meant with as many women as possible. This to ensure that natural selection could do its job. It worked like that for millions of years, and only recently, some 2500 years ago the human race started to form a society based on monogamy.

You can see now that for men, the need to seek the attention of women is something that is hard-wired into their DNA, and although many men can manage to behave politely, there is always a lurking desire present. They may not always actually date or have sex with other women, yet it is quite understandable that natur follows its own path in some way or another.
