It turns out the longer it is, the more faithful the husband will be...

There was an interesting article a recent Washington Post. Apparently they discovered the section of some dna that controls faithfulness in praire voles. It exists in a highly variable section of a dna strand and this length varies. Apparently it's some sequence that gets repeated and the mechanism for replicating it can get confused so it's easy for it to mess up and that's why the length varies so much.

The praire voles that have the longer sequence tend to be more faithful and good fathers while the ones with shorter lengths are "players".

The same thing exists in humans but they don't know if it has the same effect.

if i was a hunk and i had game, Id be a player no matter what my DNA dictates. teh only reason Im monogamous is because Im not a hunk and i have no game.

Is this the same study that said that a persons faithfulness is correlated to the size of their testicales? The smaller the more faithful, the bigger the less faithful. Seriously I don't want to get this thread locked, but that is what I read somewhere.

I call BS. Chris Rock had this figured out a long time ago. "A man is only as faithful as his options -- no more, no less."

Maybe the longer strand meant they had shorter memories, so they thought they were fvcking a different vole every time.

Honey, it's not my fault that I cheat on you. It is my DNA, it's in my blood.
