Men are portrayed as uncontrolable cheaters. Is the stereotype deserved? How many of you women have cheated?

Question

I just want a more balanced, overall understanding.

Answer 1

i think there is probably as many women cheaters as men. its not fair that men are labelled as studs and women as slags though when they are both in the wrong.
there are different personalities in everyone whether male female black white, think its down to the person whether they will cheat not their gender or creed.
having said that, a lot of girls go purposely for married men because they can have all the fun but not have to have the commitment or the dirty socks to wash, but then the bloke gets all the blame.
theres been a few celeb cheating stories around at the mo, and the emphasis is always put on the man, even though the person he cheated with is married too.
then you get women celebs like julia roberts for instance who had an affair with (and later married) a married man, but she wasnt slated much at all.
and to properly answer your question...yes i have cheated. but im not a slag. i fell in love with someone else while still married, but left my husband the day that i cheated and have been with the person i left him for for 5 years and have 3 kids with him.

Answer 2

Although most women are going to say never, it is because we are more emotional and less likely to cheat. However I don't think men are portrayed as uncontrollable cheaters. If some have the title maybe it is because they are? I have know a few cheaters and they have been equally women and men. It's the person, not the sex!

Answer 3

Women and men probably cheat in equal numbers, and it's a fairly common thing. There was a study done a number of years ago that involved testing the blood of a newborn and its parents. One of the unintended discoveries of this study was that a sizable chunk of the newborns, something over 10%, didn't have the father that the mother claimed they did. Cheating is still a d!ck move in my book, but it happens with both genders. I don't think it's uncontrollable, though. We're adults, you know. We're supposed to have impulse control.

Answer 4

actually this whole stereotype thing is crap .. men r not cheaters in general cuz I'm a girl and have cheated constantly in every single relationship I've been part of ...
so it all depends on the satisfaction of the two parties , if I'm satisfied with what I've got then i wouldn't cheat ..
and by the way i believe in giving the men second chances

Answer 5

Women always forget; it takes two to tango! So some chick, girl, woman w/e was doing it with him! I'm not talking about pedophiles here got no knowledge of that! OK she may have been divorced or widowed but still, if women don't want to be cheated on they better stop cheating!

Answer 6

i am a male and i have a real fit girl fiend and im scared that she will cheat because men are always looking at her and sometimes i think she can start to hook on them if you know what i mean.. i reckon women are the reason for men cheating.. well obviously :S

Answer 7

Human beings by nature were not supposed to live this long. Our longevity has produced many unwanted negative side effects. Your chemical scent becomes immune to your partner after awhile (olfactory) and the levels of desire diminish. Males are just not as good hiding it. Yes, I have also been unfaithful.

Answer 8

i have never cheated and i never will but plenty of men have done it to me but i also know a lot of slappers that have cheated. Men are ruled by whats in between their legs but woman are just vindictive spiteful bi*tches apart from me I'm just perfect of course (apart from the big chip i have on my shoulder!!)

Answer 9

i think the sexes cheat about equally. women are just more careful and therefore don't get caught as much.

btw-i am a woman

Answer 10

I have never cheated on anyone. I have been cheated on at least once that I know about.
