Yeah Chris, your the kind of man I would want to be married too (no way)
If thats the only reason your not cheating (anymore) than you may as well just continue cheating because to be honest with you, a man like you will never stop...Its in your blood buddy, theres nothing your wife can do to change you.. no matter how many times you swear your going to change the end result will always be the same...a man like you will always cheat so you may as well just be single.
In my oppinion your no loss.
Just remember "karmas" a b*tch!

I dont know it may just be me, but I believe it was a joke. He is a comedian. That's what they do. Not an original joke but effective.

A friend told me cheating wasn't worth it anymore. He said that he was tired of the STD's, stalkers, unplanned children/abortions and agruments with his wife. I don't know about Chris, but my friend seems to need a divorce because his marraige is miserable, but he wants his children to have an intact family. All that being said, my friend is still cheating on his wife despite the consequences he has suffered over the years. I'm guessing Chris is doing the same.

Temptation is only a whisper. Many think that all men cheat. I know this comes from their own experiences. I cheat with, my wife, its a game she loves to play with me,and we both win. My friend with your imagination, you and your wife could be the best thing that ever happened to each other.

Being a former serial cheater - I know for a fact cheating is definately more trouble than it's worth! We (men) will never be as skilled at it, as women are -we make to many mistakes -we forget too many lies - and we don't destroy evidence worth a damn! Women indeed do have that "sense" we hear about, and we all know about their dog-like ability to smell another woman's scent...no matter how you try to cover it. After years of juggling and rippin' and runnin' and hurting some really good women - I found the one lady that yanked my leash and brought me to a dead stop. We've been together nearly three years, and I'd cut my own throat before I'd cause her pain or cheat. She's good to me - she takes excellent care of home - and she trusts me despite my past - which I fully disclosed when we hooked up - to head off any possible "ghosts" from popping up and creating drama. That she would give me a chance, makes me more determined to stay true and faithful to her. Once you destroy a woman's faith in you - you may as well be dead - things will never be the way they were. I'm grateful and blessed to have her, and I'm NOT f'ing this up! I'm approached all the time - I work with women, and I'm in a regionally popular R&B band, so the groupies are always hovering like vultures over fresh meat. But, like I tell my lady - I conduct myself the exact same way at a gig whether you're there or not, and all I want to do is get paid, and get home. And I do. So fella's if you got a diamond at home - treat her like one!Make her life as comfortable as your means will allow, and let the wannabes know you're happy at home and not looking. The peace of mind alone is worth it - the peace at home....is priceless!!

I love chris to death, I have watched him for many years and he is very good at what he does. Comdey, people, tha't all it is what he sad may or may not be trued, but that is why you shouldn't take some things so personal because for some what he said is true. There are advid cheaters out there and maybe listening to what he jokes about, may wake up some of these idiots and realize that they are hurting the ones they claim to love. And to the guy who wrote about his cheating experiences, (the former serial cheater!) Kudo's to you and the one who tamed you! I just wish all those guys who are doign and have done what you were doing would make that smae change.

One day women will understand the nature of men! All men desire to cheat - The good man is the one who recognizes it and chooses to restrain himself. He does that because (If) he has a woman that would be hurt buy his cheating.
Stop the hippocray! We all know this but have to pretend a 'real' man doesnt look at another woman because hes jumped the broom! It's this fantasy ultra-romanticized view of life that keeps people divorced and lawyers rich!!
I think men have come a long way in accepting women have a nature that is very different from ours. We now know women can lead, manage and run businesses, cities and even countries....we also know women need 40 pair of black shoes! Why? I dont know but I accept it as reality and my love life is great!!!
