What percentage of all men do you think cheat? MEN????

Question

I think that 100% of men cheat. What I'd like to know is WHY?

I'm married and do not beleive that my husband has cheated. However, if I found out that he did I wouldn't be shocked.

wthing5, I've never said no and am the biggest freak any man could ask for. Also a bit of an exibitionist (have done it outdoors befroe with onlookers). Next?

Answer 1

99%.

Answer 2

I think what you mean is 100% of men already cheated, are cheating as we speak, will cheat in the future and terribly sorry if they do not cheat before they die (this means they already cheated by heart or mind but not physically yet, at least they have it planned or wished). Well men could say the same about us women. Does it matter though? Even if you know why, can it be avoided, eliminated or even reduced? Since now men are attracted or can be attracted to gay, straight women, lesbian, or straight man or anything that moves - chances are, it gets you nowhere by finding out why they cheat.
Now that you said you won't be surprised if you find ou your husband cheated on you, I would wonder "why". There must be a reason "Y" is just next to the last alphabet "z" :)

Answer 3

I'd say 100% is waaaaaaay too high: more like 65-70%

I can think of two

1. we're not happy with SOME FORM of the relationship
2. because he just feels as if HE CAN (and get away with it)

It's easy to play devils advocate and say (in response to #1) " why doesn't that person just leave the relationship if he isn't happy"

ALOT easer said than done when you have kids,feelings, property,etc involved with said individual.


Not to mention i think alot of men view sex in a different light than women..... I'm sure a few women have heard the line " I just slept with her....BUT I LOVE YOU"......... Sounds like a corny a-s-s line.....

but in actuallty thats how some men think of it- we don't put the "emotion" behind "sex" that women do...... doesn't mean we don't "love" our wifes/long time gf's. We just want to !@#$ something else every once in awhile: I'm very aware that this isn't fair but this is how it really goes!

IMO there is a difference between a guy sleeping with another woman one hight, and a guy taking this "new chick" out on the town, and parading her around while he has a wife/gf @ home.

The latter guy is an idiot that is waiting to be busted- so he can lose EVERYTHING he has with his wife/gf.....

the former guy ( i hate to say it) is just doing what guys do....(again: doesn't mean we love you any less- in our minds that is)

With that said: I also believe that the saying "once a cheater always a cheater is 100% not true!

Answer 4

100% of men do not cheat.

My thoughts on it: (I'm a 43-yr-old male) I've never cheated in my life.

- My ex wife cheated.
- Two long-term previous girlfriends cheated.

Percentage of women who cheat:
During my younger years when I was single (18-25) and going to bars fairly often... I met up with quite a few women who I thought were single. After having sex with 3 of them I found out they were married (God that was a shock!)

I also had sex with 7 women who were going steady with a guy and they hosed me anyway.

Of the 28 women I've dated or had sex with over the years, 13 of them cheated. That's 46%.


Percentage of men who cheat:
Of the 35 closer male friends I've had over the years (married or otherwise going steady), 4 of them could or would cheat if given the chance. That's 11% of men I know have or would cheat if given the chance.

Answer 5

This years numbers? 12 percent of women cheat, while 22 percent of men cheat (from msn.com). Although I am not a man, I would say that the reason is availability. There are more women than men in the world. Men like variety and so they will go behind the back of a mate or spouse and cheat...

Here is a quote from www.cbsnews.com

"I think," Beland responded, "it's not all about sex, although 80 percent of men who do cheat on their wives, they say it's about sex. But I think it comes down to one thing, and that's integrity. There are a lot of reasons why you might feel an urge to cheat on your spouse, but there's one reason you don't, and that's because you have respect for your vows. … I think (men who cheat on their wives) have a weakness of character."

"It's definitely a little softness there in the moral core, absolutely," Perrine agreed.
Eng quote.

Look, if there is real love and respect there, the man will stay at home where he belongs.

Answer 6

Remember you said "all men", which includes straight, gay, and everything in between. It also includes priests. Assuming that you meant, what percentage of straight men that are sexually active cheat, I would say 20-30%. You think that 100% of all men cheat, but you haven't been with 100% of all men (I hope). You have only been with the type of guys that you have been with, and that is obviously the type of guy that cheats. I think that the question that you should ask yourself is: Why do 100% of the guys that I am with cheat on me? Maybe it is you, however, the most likely reason is because you are attracted to douchebags. Pick a new type.

Answer 7

Statistic in 2005 showed about 50% of men do, and 51% of women do, which is a negligible difference. The awful part of the statisistic was the change in women. The same statistic in 1999 showed about 26% for women and 50% of men do. That means as one man cheater dies off, another shows up. But about 25% of women are new cheaters between the years '99-'05.

I'm not an angel when I'm single, but I've never cheated in my relationships, but have had girlfriends who have, my friend's wife on him, my other friend's fiance on him, the woman of the couple who he rents a place too, the married women who hit on me strong when I go out, and pretty much a large % of women I'm around(co-workers).

Answer 8

That is an awesome question. But I've also met women who are just as bad. I think it goes both ways.

Men and women cheat because of various reasons - sometime it's as simple as men are just more sexual - if they get a chance to get laid they go for it....it's all a learning process.

In the end you'll find someone who has grown past the BS and will be loyal to you.

Answer 9

Nope,i don't and never thought about it.But I'm sure it's more than 73-75% Now there are lots of reasons but here's a few of the more common ones,some are pure dog from birth,some don't or won't tell their mates what they really want from them,some don't get what they want after telling their mates,some women refuse to give them what they want so they look for it somewhere else,some are so caught up in playing games they believe this is the way it's suppose to be,And yes more and more women are doing it as well and for the same reasons.Try to remember this old saying,"To thy own self be true".It's like buying a new car,why take the red one if you know you want a blue one?Or if your going to lie about yourself to your mate,how on earth can they know how to please you?

Answer 10

I am am man and I have been married for 14 years and been with my wife for about 18 years now. I have never cheated on her with any one......100% Is not correct. it is allot lower then that. I would think men cheat as much as woman do...

Answer 11

The percentage of men who cheat is much lower than that. The real problem is once a woman has been cheated on, she thinks that every guy after that will cheat on her. I am guessing that this has happened to you. Sorry to hear that.
In my younger H.S. days I cheated once or twice, but once I grew up and became a man I have been totaly faithful to whoever I have been with. But even now, my GF knows that I have cheated in my past, not on her though, and is affraid of it.
Why can't girls get over being cheated on once they are with someone else?
