Imagine a man with limited options who works in a basic job and is neither rich nor super poor. He has an okay job and okay looks. He’s not in the 20 percent that most women go for, so he finds himself a frumpy wife, one that is neither very pretty nor very ugly, but he sees something in her and marries her. Then a business he’s started takes off beyond his wildest dreams and suddenly he’s super wealthy and buys a luxury car and house and dresses to the hilt. Suddenly he’s in demand by super hot women. Does he dump his dorky wife for the hot babes or does he stick with her out of love?

Turns out, it depends who it is. I have no doubt that some men would do exactly that. They would upgrade. However, at least some men believe in love and in loyalty. Take Kurt Warner, for example. He was never expected to be anything more than a backup journeyman QB in the NFL, if he even did that well. He was working crappy, barely above minimum wage jobs in retail, when he got called back to the Rams in the NFL as a backup. However, when their starter got hurt, he was thrust into the starting job and performed masterfully beyond anyone’s expectations. He became a premiere quarterback who won the Super Bowl, something no one predicted.

I’ll try to phrase this in a way that doesn’t sound cruel: His wife is not a looker. Let’s face it; she just ain’t very pretty. With Warner being elevated to star NFL status, and later a sought-after broadcaster, he could certainly find himself a hot babe, gorgeous wife. But he doesn’t. He stays with his homely wife because that’s who he’s built a life with. That’s who he loves. That gives me mad respect for the man.

I used to believe that there were a lot of women who are just like Kurt Warner. Not so much anymore. Now I believe that almost any women who became hot via weight loss or just blossoming would monkey branch over to a hotter guy, leaving her ordinary boyfriend or husband behind. Now I believe that it’s extremely rare for a woman to be loyal. I don’t know why there’s this huge difference, but it’s there.
