Does Beauty Guarantee Faithfulness?
September 13, 2008 – 6:04 amPosted Under: love, relationships, sex
Does beauty guarantee a man or woman will be faithful in a relationship or to their spouse?
What about that infamous article? If you have the cheating gene, are some cases just a lost cause then? And does the cheating gene only apply to men?
What about that shade issues if a man or a woman has a husband or wife of a more preferred or coveted shade are they more likely to be faithful to them (ie. try harder to make it work) than if they don’t?
Let’s get deep with this one folks.

Speaking for Myself, Beauty Does Guarantee My faithfulness!
I understand most people will look at this and post this as beauty on the outside but for me beauty comes from within!
Recognizing and feeding on the beauty from within my wife keeps me faithful. The beauty from within was the inspiration to make me propose to her on the phone after not seeing her for over twenty years and marrying her. The beauty from within is the force that drives me everyday to work fervently to become the best husband I can be to the woman of God He Blessed me with. Her beauty from within drives me to become the man of God He wants me to be.
Don’t get it twisted though, I am also extremely forturnate God Blessed her with the beauty on the outside also!

that cheatin gene mess is a crock of sh*t
and beauty has no precedence when it comes to a man that wants to cheat…look at halle and eric benet, or melinda williams and mekhi phifer.. cheating is a choice that someone makes and has nothing to do with how beautiful the other person is or a damn gene

also wanted to say i agree with calvin, my ex - adorable, beautiful, but has a ugly heart, threatened to kill my son, brok windows at my home tried to cut me, but she bipolar

Awwwww Calvin how sweet!
Eb that’s what I thought about the cheating gene what a poor excuse for a lack of accountability.
Rawdawg, I don’t know who added me, it changes and I may be c list now for all I know, but I’m sorry to hear aout your ex. But bipolar is chemical or an internal imbalance isn’t it? So it’s different from intentional. I’m just glad your kids are all right.

I don’t think beauty matters. If you don’t believe me, just tune into Divorce Court, Judge Hatchett, Jerry Springer, Maury Povich, et al.
Second “beauty” is in the eye of the beholder.
Last but not least, (in the case of a man), a stiff you-know-what has no conscience.
As for one being genetically predisposed to cheat, I think that’s a crock. Are humans becoming so pathetic that we now blame every moral weakness on genetics?A c–khound gene? Sheesh….

I was just reading about this in Essence….unattractive people get cheated on too, right? Beauty has nothing to do with it, it’s about self-control. The choice between right and wrong is equal between everyone, so using that “in my genes”, “that’s what men do”, “that’s all I know” is a cop-out.

Tim, I think beauty matters to some people. I’ve seen people not want a person to leave and stalk and even kill. I think the whole “gene” thing is another excuse too. People will do what they will do. It’s another loophole.
AJB I didn’t know Essence covered it. I guess my question is timely!

No, beauty doesn’t guarantee anything that a man will be faithful. Of course I’m speaking from my own personal experience but I think cheating is about ego, moreso than anything else.
Sad, but true.

So Don, if you had a beautiful woman inside and out you would let your ego get in the way of you losing her FOREVER?

Cheating is cheating and either your going to do it or you’re not. Regardless of how anyone looks or complexion or whatever. Thats just another excuse.

I get your point B&MWK and I thank God for what I have because internal beauty still has to be appreciated by the beholder, because plenty of women are internally beautiful and externally beautiful but a man and/or woman has to have a faithful heart and be committed to what God says marriage is otherwise what’s the point. You can have internal and external beauty for days, the person you are with has to be faithful bottom line.

A person can be beautiful on the outside in greaat shape and always put together. They may be ugly on the inside. I do not put any stock in the cheating gene. Cheating is a choice. There is the moment befor you get with it that you thinkl about your wife and kids and say this is so not worth it. The cheating gene argument is just taking away the accountability factor.

@ princessdominique: not now, not since I’ve gone through a drought. I think I’ve realized and matured enough to know that, a good woman doesn’t grow on trees.
Back then I was just a stupid mofo. Serious.

beauty doesnt matter I think. but then again thats too simple an answer. it depends on what your relationship is built on right?
if beauty is your thing and you think you have the most beautiful guy/girl in the world then you wont cheat, if beauty doesnt mean that much and you have a beauty on your arm but home life isnt great or your relationship with that beauty is missing something then maybe you’ll be tempted to cheat.
i think you need a whole book for this discussion

Kim I’m with you, be accountable.
Don you’re right, cuz I sure didn’t grow on a tree!
JDid I’m working on the book right now!
By Miss Princess Dominique on Sep 15, 2008
I agree with Kim. Plus, I hate to hear a weak rationale like why men are quicker to cheat due to biology. Let’s face it, we don’t teach self-control like we should.
