If you are going to put on your scientist hat, I'd like you to do it with citations of published studies from reputable sources. No, I won't "just trust" you "on this one."
Sorry, but as a feminist I've seen the old "the male mind just isn't wired for that sort of thing" bull used way too often. Men aren't wired for monogamy, for parenting, for commitment, for being sensitive to problems, for talking about feelings, for good grooming, for accepting women in the workplace, for peace, blah blah blah.
The differences between the male and female brain are dwarfed by the similarities and many 'absolute' differences have been demonstrated to be cultural in the end. For example, in Medieval Europe, it was manly to weep and faint because men had stronger emotions then women (naturally). Now we have science telling us testosterone makes it harder for men to cry. Mmmhmmm.
If you want to tell the OP that in your experience triads (MFM or any variety) are unstable, fine. But don't scare her with "science" without some documented proof.
