Question for all about curiousity.....


I thought that the realest aspect of the film was the beginning, how the chick aroused the guys curiosity in the beginning. Without that, there would have been no drama to follow. Then he followed his urges and got more than he bargained for, further opening a pandora's box.

My question to all is this, can men ever come to a point in their lives when we are settled down and happy so much that we never get "curious"? Or even in the best of circumstances, are we always going to be looking out in our side eye, saying, hmmmmm....what's up with her?

Serious answers please....

I would imagine no man (or woman!) ever stops being *curious* about the opposite sex.

Not to say they would or even would WANT to cheat on their spouses with them.

But curiosity, meaning thinking about other people, is normal.
That's human nature.



I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.

^ This. I think people will always be curious and attracted to other people, even if they're in a relationship. It's just human nature. But the difference is knowing to not act on it. I'm in a relationship and even though I think certain people are attractive, I have no desire to cheat. AT ALL. I'm extremely satisfied in my relationship. Usually people cheat because they are insecure or feel like they are missing out on something. I think in Ben's case, he did love his girlfriend but they were so serious and only 17-18, and the girlfriend acted like they'd be together forever even 3000 miles apart. Not making excuses for him but I can see why/how he got caught up in a fantasy.
