Evolutionary psychology gets thrown into the mix, with some claiming men are “naturally” programmed to seek multiple partners. This notion gets used to justify infidelity and deflect responsibility for hurtful actions. But is this biology or simply a convenient excuse?
The idea that men are “programmed” to seek out multiple partners is a tired saying that’s been around for ages and has sparked endless debates.
Some argue that our evolutionary past, where men supposedly competed for mating opportunities, instilled a biological urge for polygamy. The “caveman” argument paints a picture of our ancestors as promiscuous beings, with men spreading their genes far and wide. However, this view is a vast oversimplification of human evolution.
