Default Re: \"He has to like her more\"

I always hear people say this, that is, the guy HAS TO like the girl more than the girl likes the guy for the relationship to work.

Makes 100% no sense to me, and having a guy more invested than a woman is more likely to result in a woman getting some action on the side.

I understand that it's partially because guys are much more likely to cheat.

Women cheat a lot, and it's much easier for them.

I've definitely seen this play out in most real-life relationships; at best there seems to be an equal amount of "like" between the two people, at worst the guy is a slobbering puppy dog when the girl is around.

I agree, but that seems to indicate an equal amount of commitment, not the guy having more.

In terms of generalizations, a lot of the blending of gender roles in the name of equality tends to lead to a lot more [censored] up relationships and far fewer happy people, IMO.
