Let's say that the article is right. So 78% of men cheat I would think that it would be about the same for women. Unless the men are cheating with each other. Not to mention that this looks bad for women who sleep with married men.

I think many people have that perfect scenario were they feel they would be vulnerable to cheating so they avoid it.
I guess what I'm trying to say is maybe we should look at marriage as something that is not a natural condition for two people. People want very bad to be a spouse or a parent because modern society has placed more value on them than that of being a single person.
I don't think it has as much to do with society as it does the desire to be that important to one person but we're often torn between that and our lustful nature.
And I've seen just as many men as women eager to marry--for those who swear marriage only happens because the woman wants it.

The men can cheat with single women or other men. So no, the number doesn't have to be the same for women who cheat.
Women who sleep with married men may look bad but they are certainly not as bad as married men (or women) who sleep around.
Please explain this to the wife's who feel that they are wrecking thier homes. Is there something about married men that these women can't say no too?
Neither party is innocent in the situation, but the "other woman" is not the one who stood in front of his spouse and his friends and family and vowed to forsake all others. Also, many times married men lie about their status. They remove their rings, say that they're separated or divorced, etc.

I doesn't say 78% of men have cheated, its says they would cheat if they thought they could get away with it.
