      data showing someone has other partners in a huge portion of all long term relationships

      That’s called cheating. Is that your excuse when you get caught? ‘I can’t help it, it’s just my nature!’

      psychological denial

      Funny coming from someone who felt compelled to write this dumbshit comment on an anonymous forum justifying their shitty behavior.

      The mere fact that we want to fuck everyone is proof

      I really like pizza. I want to eat more pizza than is healthy. That is my nature. Fortunately I happen to be a human; humans possess higher cognitive abilities than animals, so they can employ logic rather than defaulting to natural instinct. Animalistic urges are not justification for being a piece of shit human being.

      God forbid you should read the paper and discuss the evidence rather than spouting your psycho-babble bullshit.

          I don’t know why you are pissed off at me

          Probably because you came into a science forum, made some asinine claim with zero supporting evidence, and now that you’ve been challenged, you’re acting like a victim. Without evidence there is no argument, no discussion, no anything. Evidence is the only truth that we have. If you do not have evidence, your claim is inherently bullshit. It’s not even worth discussing until you have some factual basis upon which to build that discussion.

          “Some humans aren’t monogamous, therefore humans are not monogamous.” isn’t good enough. That doesn’t even make sense, I can’t believe you fuckin’ said that.

          You made the claim, you carry the burden of proof. Instead of acting like a fucking child, you could have been looking for papers that support your argument. I just glanced at Google Scholar for all of 3 minutes and scrolled through no less than 5 pages of papers on the topic of human monogamy. What’s your excuse? Go find some proof, or shut the fuck up.
