enveloped george michael and jesse james just to name a few. knowing as a politician, an athlete and an entertainer, he is not alone. but then when you think about it, that was the whole problem. tom foreman, cnn, washington. sex, lies, arrogance, it s just a headline on the time magazine cover. it also reads what makes powerful men act like pigs. we put that question to the author of the feature story, executive editor nancy gibbs. it is not all men, by any means, but what we have found, all through history is that with opportunity seems to come an inclination to act on it. and the more wealthy and powerful and famous and accomplished men are, the more opportunity they have to misbehave. and what some social scientists have suggested is that the ordinary men who don t have an opportunity develop the muscles of monogamy, of self-restrained and delayed gratification.
be examining themselves right now? and are they susceptible to this time of behavior? monogamy is more likely with men if they make an intellectual decision, an intellectual commitment to themselves to overcome their animal instinct. so the question is where are the rode models for these men. i want you to stick around, dr., wendy, in about 20 minutes we re going to talk about how a woman can stop a bad boy from playing her. exactly. there s signs she can look for to make sure she does not hire a bad boy as a boyfriend. dr. wendy, we ll sew you in just a little bit here. it s called a misconduct matrix. and if your spouse cheated on you, would you stand by him or her? when we come back, we ll talk
to hurt a co-worker, chances are he s not going to find a lot of compassion for you when he s cheating on you. you want him to take pieces of you into that mental compartment and not have an affair. men feel the least amount of guilt in their 40s and 50s. they feel i have lived a little. something dr. drew addressed. does he fear emotional intimacy? emotional intimacy is the bond that keeps people together. men who have had a lot of physical relationships and not a lot of emotional ones. some studies have actually linked intelligent with monog y monogamy, meaning that you re smart announce to make that intellectual decision to go above your animal instincts.
but you re asking a question which is somewhat arguable, if indeed if we were a society run by women, where they had all the power, would they act like this? the probability is no. because their biological motivational priorities are just different. they re not going to act like that. but again, men are happier when they don t act like this. they re healthier when they don t act like this. so again, it s something that everyone can go, okay, i understand that men would behave like this, but to allow them to do so, and to give them a pass, it s a big, big mistake. so if are we marriage and monogamy, is this something that is an invention of the church, are we trying to do something with our bodies that our bodies aren t meant to do? there s no doubt again, particularly for men, every measure of health and happiness is improved when we re in a sustained, monogamous relationship.
