Why is a woman's infidelity excused but if man does it, he gets labeled names?

That's not the same as cheating. Lying, everyone does that at one point to spare someone's feelings from getting hurt. It's way better to find out you were just lied to about still having feelings than you getting cheated on.

Yes, it's been heard more recently, a couple months ago. But one thing for sure, most of those posters excusing the behavior were females. Though there were also few male posters as well too.

On one topic (from another site) of a man breaking up for getting cheated on, this male poster went on stating how he has to see what he's doing wrong and that women don't ever cheat for no reason. His view was base on ''Keep them in control and they won't cheat on you''.

But now with Tiger Woods news, it's like both sides get excused for those behaviors. So now it's like a war going on and there is no real winner on who will get more sympathy.

Women cheat and they cheat often. They are far more deceptive about it and justify it with far greater variety of excuses then men.

I've seen guys who thought they could read "the signs" that a woman was giving off--end up losing their job for sexual harassment. I don't know if they were also sued or not, but they stopped working for the company.
