If a guy can "get it" and get away with it, he will.

I've found this to be true with the majority of my male friends, but not all. There are a couple who just do no stray. Most of the guys who do screw around cover for each other, so it makes sense that they run in crowds.

..Yes, i sense a world of trouble beyond the avenue of red flags presently at eye level...

I too know someone like this..and he was very out in the open about it... which is why i chose not to associate myself with a buddy like this.. i had a hard enough time keeping my mouth shut...and only did so because we worked together...and all hell would have broken loose if i would have really expressed my thoughts concerning his disrespect towards his girlfriend...especially since i also knew her and ..from what i knew, she seemed alright..except for being hung up on this guy...

In general it isn't fair to stereotype. You seem to be looking for validation about your jealous opinion more so than getting at the truth, which is he is a different man than his friends. Maybe he's a cheater, maybe not, but that's on him, not his pals.

Regardless, you need to drop this jealous act. It ALWAYS drives people away. NOBODY likes this kind of jealousy in their partner.

IMO, just because his friends do it doesn't mean he will. I have worked with guys who did it and I don't.

Ask yourself this:

If he hung out with the crowd that doesn't cheat on their girlfriends, would he have enough confidence for you. Lack of confidence is a contagious thing and this sort of crowd usually has lots of this.
