see if you wanna buy a car but you don't stand a chance 'cause you don't have that much money and suddenly a rich guy, in front of you purchases it and goes of then you look at another one it's not as stylish or doesn't look like much of a "American muscle" but it's a nice car plus the paint is your favorite color and at last it comes under your budget so obviously you'll buy it. The same thing is with Hephaestus he can't stand a chance when it comes to win Aphrodite and above that when Ares is around but at the other side there are mortal women who are pretty as well as they are nice to him so why not take a shot i mean he can't be a virgin god waiting around for Aphrodite's affection can he? plus not every couple is like Dionysus and Ariadne who trust each other and are faithful(to some extend he is, if he wasn't the he should also have more children).
