Subject: Help!  I need argument fuel!

Once, while trying to fill in a boyfriend about some of the past of my 
housemates and our friends, in order that he might avoid future faux pas,
(or maybe I was just gossiping)
I related a tale involving a woman attempting to attract a man who was 
involved with a good friend of hers.  He responded with a snort "Yeah,
you see, men would NEVER do such a thing."

I suspect it was a sensitive issue, since it was something he'd painfully 
avoided doing.

But.

I couldn't think of a counterexample.

And boy, did I feel crummy.  I mean, did that mean that only women are evil
snakes?  Does this mean we think of The Other Woman as an evil snake?

Does anybody have any counterexamples?  I don't want names or dates or even
plots.  I don't want gossip, I'd like some reinforcement.  From women only,
of course.
