Who cheats more? Men/Women

**Uneeklyme** · 09-03-2008 04:11 PM

I think the trend is changing. Used to be men were out of the house more and putting themselves out there more in turn having more opportunity. These days, women are getting out more. True, women have more options but being cited as a reason women cheat more? Not sure I agree with this. Women are more emotionally vested when it comes to sex. More women than men "save" themselves for that special someone and when it comes to sex are more likely to try and keep that bond as a just between us or all for you thing.

Going on the reasoning that men are genetically designed to propogate the species thereby procreate as much as possible, it would seem to me that men are the ones that cheat more. This goes along with the reasoning of thats why they choose the young, fit females. Their male genetics drive them to think with their penis whereas women are looking for stable manly men to take care of them and their offspring. Not my POV but I have seen this logic on these boards before.

The women are better liars cracks me up. Yep, we lie better. We are more believable when we lie but that doesnt mean we do it more. Men have an uncanny knack of lieing by omission. Eg: Girlfriend finds out you slept with someone else over the weekend Vegas trip with the guys. Man comes clean, yep, I slept with someone else and they go from there but hey, he didnt mention that there were also two others he banged during the weekend. At least he didn't lie.

Im not entirely sure about the self esteem issue - some women will cheat to make themselves feel better / sexier / wanted... but this issue is generally brought about by the man that they are with. Personally, i would suggest that the main reason women cheat (even though theyre getting the love, care and commitment at home)...is because theyre not receiving the lust, passion, wildness side of a relationship... i cant imagine a woman wanting to cheat with the intention of becoming emotionally attached to the other man.

Also, as a woman i think you have a significant 'make or break point' where your morals decide which way youre going to swing. If you choose to cheat and get away with it, im a great believer that you'll continue to cheat. Not sure if this rings true with men?
