DO YOU THINK MEN CHEAT MORE THAN WOMEN?

Men will be men, they say. However, what about women? Well it turns out, as this article stated:

"Women cheat just as much as men, and their affairs are more dangerous. An Indiana University study shows that men and women cheat at the same rate. But "the reasons the sexes cheat are different," says Orlando. He explains women are more likely to cheat for emotional satisfaction."

I agree ranger except the part about the person the cheater is cheating with. You can only be a cheater if you are cheating on someone you are supposed to be faithful to. Thanks for your comment.

That's a very valid opinion, puzzles. Thank you. I personally believe many people cheat due to lack of attention or feeling unappreciated.

That was interesting, ranger. It means men are more experienced at it and feel less guilty.

Thanks skariff. They might cheat with a married woman or a single one. The single person would not be cheating unless they have a significant other.

I agree, puzzles. My boyfriend and I made a pact that if either wants to be with someone else, we would break up first. We wouldn't do anything behind the other's back. I have kept to that and I bet he has too. Thanks for adding this comment.

I think that men cheat more often than women. I don't have any statistics to prove it.

I agree that if one is not in any kind of relationship, I don't think they are cheating on anyone.

I actually do think men cheat more often too but the statistics don't prove that. Of course, stats are based on answering questions truthfully. If the men are lying, then the results are false. Thanks for your comment, rocket.

We'll agree to disagree, ranger. I agree with rocket. You can't be considered cheating if you are not in a relationship.

I think it is pretty even. Men just talk about it more. Women are more apt to keep their indiscretions secret or at least only disclose to one or 2 close friends.

Elaine an interesting post. I tend to think that it is equal between men and women when it comes to cheating. But I think in most cases it is the woman who gets hurt as they tend to fall in love more easily than men. They want the security and the whole nine yards. That is my opinion.

You are probably right, Shartaun03. I think for men it's more about the sex or lack of appreciation they feel they are getting. For women, it's about being neglected, more often than not. When they are getting the attention they crave elsewhere, I can see how it can lead to falling for their new lover. Thanks for your comment.

If the single women doesn't know the man is married, she's not cheating..imho.

    Quoting LeafRelief:
    You might be surprised by how many men, who frankly rarely talk their relationship among other men, except for small talk, who complain about the spouse or girlfriends jealousy. I know that men can be jealous too, but both genders fail miserably to reasonably accommodate the human emotions that compel people to associate with the opposite sex in simply civil and innocent ways. It's ridiculous frankly.
I think that men who can't understand why their significant other is jealous, often gives them reason to be jealous. Just my opinion and obviously not always the case. Thanks for your comment, Leaf.

I agree, rocket. Thank you. Even if she knows he is married, she isn't cheating if she has no significant other, in my opinion.

Wow, that comment shocked me, boogie. This post was about cheating and I am totally faithful to my boyfriend and he is to me. The answer to your question is NO. I post about many subjects like the one with serial killers. Just because I am interested in hearing about things including relationships, doesn't mean I am questioning mine.

It shocked me because I never thought that just because I bring up a topic, means it is a reflection of what's happening to me. I do ask questions that interest me. Thanks for caring, boogie.
