Cheating is wrong no matter who does it. To me there is no excuse. If you are not happy, get out, don't cheat. I think only selfish people cheat, because they want it both ways. They want to keep their relationship plus try out something new. Then, they still have their relationship to go home to. I do think a lot of people should not be suprised when they get cheated on. Many people marry someone knowing they have a history of cheating, and then they are so hurt and suprised when it happens to them. What did they think would happen? Women and men who cheat deserve to be alone.

The sad thing is that a lot of men who cheat don't want to end the relationship they are in. They simply want their sexual needs met. In other words, they are trying to hurt or decieve anyone. They don't end their current relationship/marriage because they are not trying to get out: they are trying to have their cake and eat it, too.

Because we for some reason put women on a high moral pedestal and think theyre all these innocent naive creatures that couldnt possibly do anyhting wrong on their own..

Women are just like Men and can be every bit as selfish and narcisisitic...

Now that most women are in the workforce they cheat just as much or more then Men..

Sorry to hear that man.

Cheaters are complete trash, be it a man or a woman.

Cheaters always cheat for a reason. Don't be one-sided.

Oh, I'm sure the cheater always does have a "reason". I have yet to hear a valid one. Cheating is a selfish and cruel act that causes the other person so much unnecessary pain, there is really NO excuse for it.

So am I one-sided on this issue? Damn right.

And I guess that all these men are cheating with the same women?

I haven't noticed a double standard when it comes to gender. Mostly, the double standard comes in when someone discusses motives. As the OP pointed out, people seem more willing to excuse cheating based on emotions rather than just being a physical urge. This is probably why it seems like the double standard is based on gender, because it's assumed women cheat for emotional reasons more often than men. IMO, cheating is cheating and one's motives are irrelevant. Whether you slept with someone because you were in love with them or just had the hots for them doesn't change the fact that you cheated. If anything, I would probably be harsher on the person having the emotional affair cause that's a betrayal that runs far deeper.

Not true.


WOMEN are far more unfaithful than men, a survey reveals.

Forty per cent of females cheat on lovers, compared with 34 per cent of males.

Think men are the unfaithful sex? A study shows WOMEN are the biggest cheats - they're just better at lying about it

By Maureen Rice

Are men or women more likely to cheat? While men have always had a worse reputation for being unfaithful, recent studies show that women are catching up fast - but we are a lot more likely to lie about it, and a lot less likely to get caught.

Simply put, it seems that women are better at having affairs than men.
