How common is this, or some equivalent lack of morals in men? I know lots of women that i grew up with, same high school, that have at some point, been involved with married guys. I know more women who have done this than have not. It can't be some giant coincidence, right? That I just happen to know a lot of females lacking morals? The lastest one is my best friend's sister... is this just something you're going to have to accept with someone these days, that they've done some horrible things?

Men and women cheat in about equal numbers - this is news to you?

I am of the belief that the moment a man is married or seriously involved, he becomes ''persona non grata''. None of my friends messed around with other people's men. Even those casually dating were off-limits to some of them . Does that make you feel a bit better ?

YOU don't have to accept it or condone it. I don't. However, cheating and promiscuity are nothing new and have been around as long as humans, despite moral codes and social norms. There are still plenty of people who can and do act ethically, so seek them out and avoid the rest as best you can.

Aren't the cheating married men lacking in morals as well? While the women are not guiltless, they're not the ones who took vows to forsake all others.

So why is it that I know so many that do? I don't know of any guy who does this, maybe they just don't have the opportunity?

How would you know? Example with my friend's sister, I never in a million years would have though she would have been the type to do this, and I only knew of it because my friend told me..

Like they say, a person is known by the company they keep. Maybe you better take inventory.

So I should be judged by how my best friend's sisters live their lives? The only guys I even knew who cheated did it before they got married, and it wasn't with married women.

yeah, but why are these guys so popular with women? There's all these single guys out there, yet she only can manage to find married guys?
