Scott Adams: Pegs and Holes

June 15, 2011 4:01 PM

Men are lions. Women are zebras. Lions want to kill, eat zebras. It's just nature. They can't help it. Civilization is designed to prevent men from being happy. Society is a prison for men's sexual desires. Men cheat on their wives because their wives fail to satisfy their needs. They can't help it. The only solution is chemical castration. Ladies and gentlemen...Scott Adams. [previously]

Scott Adams on the nature of men:

If a lion and a zebra show up at the same watering hole, and the lion kills the zebra, whose fault is that? Maybe you say the lion is at fault for doing the killing. Maybe you say the zebra should have chosen a safer watering hole. But in the end, you probably conclude that both animals acted according to their natures, so no one is to blame. However, if this is your local zoo, you might have some questions about who put the lions with the zebras in the same habitat.

Scott Adams on Hugh Hefner, victim of society:

Consider Hugh Hefner. He had every benefit of being a single man, and yet he decided he needed to try marriage. Marriage didn’t work out, so he tried the single life again. That didn’t work out, so he planned to get married again, although reportedly the wedding just got called off. For Hef, being single didn’t work, and getting married didn’t work, at least not in the long run. Society didn’t offer him a round hole for his round peg. All it offered were unlimited square hole.

Scott Adams on why men cheat:

To be fair, if a man meets and marries the right woman, and she fulfills his needs, he might have no desire to tweet his meat to strangers. Everyone is different. But in general, society is organized as a virtual prison for men’s natural desires.
