Fantasy
Marshall really does try to fantasize about other women. In fact, sometimes he tries so hard that he ends up falling asleep from exhaustion and then dreaming about Lily. So, in the end he has pretty much just given up on thinking about other women all together. Sure, he sometimes wishes that he could have the occasional side trip with some other attractive woman. And, every now and then to make both Barney and Lily happy he pretends that he does. But in the end it's always Lily that puts a smile on his face before he falls asleep each night.
