Hi, I dunno about the "Bussian Hypothesis". Sometimes I wonder if guys "believe" it because it is comforting to them and not because it is true. OK the following is based, admittedly on casual observation NOT rigorous scientific inquiry. On the other hand, keep in mind that most evolutionary psychological hypotheses are also contructed "by hindsight" and not on experimental controlled investigation. 1) I myself would not differentiate between my partner's sexual and emotional infidelity. I would be equally outraged. I've already been there and done that. 2) My best friend and I both know lots of women and lots of men. Overall, the women we know have had many more sexual partners than the males (because they tell us we are women after all). 3) I never fail to get a knowing laugh with the following joke in my Human Sexuality classes "Ask a man and then ask a woman "How many sex partners have you had? For the most accurate response - divide the man's answer by 2, and multiply the woman's by 3." Women may simply have learned to be better at hiding it because of the stakes - as mentioned in a previous poster's response - men are more likely to react with violence. Women cry and look dispirited (like Silda). Nancy Melucci Long Beach City College Long Beach CA
