Wow, somebody actually answered a post of mine with something other than
hostility. I think this is going to be a good day!
So it isn't that cuckolds are superior by virtue of being cuckolds, but
that women sleep with men who are attractive to them, and the attractive
men become cuckolds because so many women want them.
So how would we get an attractive, faithful man? The cuckold would have
to finally want more from a relationship, and realize that you can't get
that without commitment.
