True, less desirable men can marry only less desirable women, but that's much better than not marrying anyone at all.
I diasagree. Is it also true that being in a bad relationship is better than no relationship? I think not! Sounds like battered child syndrome.
It wasn't my words , I was just quoting something from alink that oldnerd in this thread referred to

I would love to agree with you but I am afraid the reality says otherwise.For along time wives have tolerated their husbands hobbying or the casual physical encounters because they did not have a choice and for fear of social issues .And it is the fact even in the modern times.
But no matter what the reason is it is very painful for the wives part to know about it and continue living in the marriage.Not all women have the luxary to voice over their husband.I am not sure if hobbyist ever think about that.Someone in this thread said most wives know about it and just ignore it.It doesn't mean it doesn't affect them.
The sad thing is alot of the times the wives are not even given the chance to understand their lacking or anything.And how are they supposed to deal with if the thrill seeking aspect of the husbands? even when everything is okay? Some people are not given any chance.A simple wife can not compete with a sp/mp no matter what.The sad fact is I know someone who left everything literally to be with the significant one only to find out she was betrayed all through.
