an inconvenient truth



Some say that a man is as only as faithful as his options. (Believe it or not, I've ALWAYS been faithful, despite the occasional worthwhile opportunity to stray.) I'd venture to suggest that if the average non-wealthy schlub lands a hottie--like in every other sitcom of the last 40 years--he's less likely to tempt fate and step out on her, as opposed to a guy with looks comparable to hers. Unless, somehow, the schlub manages to attract a woman hotter than his own.

Now, if all of this is close to being true, then obviously an attractive man who reaches middle age with his looks intact is definitely going to stray from his once equally attractive wife. Right?
