What percentage of men who cheat get caught?

Question

I really think most don't get caught.. I think women are in denial and like to think most get caught, so they can pretend their men or men they know and like aren't cheating...

Why would it beg good for them to get caught??? No one gets hurt of they don't get caught....

Bina64... Huh? How do we know that many get caught?

Answer 1

Men cheat 60% of the time and women 40%. I would guess about half of them get caught or come clean.

I don't think it's for the reasons people assume (just sex or for the thrills, etc).

In fact, I assume that, contrary to social opinion, monogamy isn't normal for all people. Unfortunately, society isn't accomodating to those who want to be both honest and are not naturally monogamous. Open relationships are seriously frowned upon.

Most guys or girls don't cheat to get sex. It happens, but not to most people, IMO. Most fall into a relationship unexpectedly and only have two options they see open to them. Leave the new relationship, which is brutally difficult, or cheat. Society has shown them only those two choices. To those who seem to believe people are natually monogamous, assuming the above figures didn't change there mind, there is also the fact that polygyny (“many wives”) is still culturally prevalent on the globe—out of 853 known human cultures, 84 percent permit polygyny. Obviously monogamy isn't as prevalent as many in the west would wish to believe.

American men have at least one affair over the course of their marriage,” and recent surveys suggest that the chance of either member of a modern couple committing infidelity at some point in their marriage may be as high as 76 percent—with these numbers increasing every year. Though most people in our culture consider themselves—and are believed to be—monogamous, anonymous surveys reveal that many are so socially, but not biologically.

In other words, social monogamy frequently masks biological polyamory in an increasingly significant number of couples. It may also be important to note that the prevalent relationship paradigm in the modern West is no longer lifelong monogamy (“till death do us part”), but serial monogamy (many partners sequentially), often punctuated with adultery. Serial monogamy, plus clandestine adultery, is in many respects not too different from polyamory, except that the latter is more honest, ethical, and arguably less harmful. In this context, the mindful exploration of polyamory may help in alleviating the suffering caused by the staggering number of clandestine affairs in our modern culture.


I am polyamorous. I am very open about my feelings and non-monogamous nature. I always make certain everyone involved is aware and OK before I enter into a relationship (their significant other(s), if they have them, and my wife). Though sex is a component of these romantic relationships, it's no different than anyone with a girlfriend or wife. They are long term and very loving relationships.

For those who are not monogamous, but not interested in long-term romantic relationships (i.e. sex is the more important aspect) and want to be open and honest with their partner, there is swinging. I"ve never experienced it, so cannot talk about it much.

I've always wondered why people find cheating (breaking the rules) more acceptable than open and honest non-monogamy.

Answer 2

Percentage Of Men Who Cheat

Answer 3

Well, since statistics say 67% of men cheat, we know at least that many got caught, right? So average in that many men probably don't get caught, or would never admit it, we can probably safely say 75% of men cheat.

Statistics say on 27% of women cheat, but that number is on the rise. If women are smarter, maybe a whole lot more cheat and never get caught. Or, they are just more faithful. Either way, men and women both do it, and there are obviously people out there willing to do it with married people, so let's just be safe and say there are a whole crap load of people out there who are cheathers.

Answer 4

I believe that most woman know their husbands are cheating but will not admit it. Men lie all the time. The wifes know . They are just trying to hold on to the marriage, so they do not loose everything. Hoping the jerk will eventual die from burning the candle at both ends . But the wives know even if they never confront thier cheating spouses

Answer 5

One of the most common questions spouses ask when confronting a marriage crisis is this: How can I save my marriage if my partner doesn't want to help find a solution? How do I succeed I am trying to save my marriage on my own? Learn here https://tr.im/G1dt6

It is a typical enough story: one partner leaves, the other stays. One remains 'in love', the other is uncertain. Whatever it is that has caused a couple to be apart, the one person who remains bears the prospect, fear, doubt, desire, hope of saving his or her marriage' alone.

Answer 6

it doesn't matter what the percentage is...... eventually you will get caught. And not all women want to be in denial. Some of us actually want to know where we're standing....

Answer 7

i think parts of that are true my mom lied to herself about my dads abusive personality she lied so much that one day she believed it and i saw what it did to her so i always g into relationships with my eyes open

also the reason people cheat is cus they feel the need to be exciting and attractive "if i can have two girls all at once then that must mean i am sexy and a cool person"

did you know the reason why most people cheat is cus they feel like they aren't sexy and they cant attract the opposite sex

so when they have the option of feeling that hurt inside them they take it

but lots of men dont feel the need to cheat i dated a man that cheated and i saw the warning signs and i told him and he lied about it but then his other girl came forward and told me so i dont close my eyes and now i am dating someone that doesn't feel the need to cheat and i am happy

Answer 8

i think almost all will be found out which is why you see so many divorces from people who have been married 20 or 25 or 30 years or longer.sometimes its to get the kids grown to keep their family together.my advice dont cheat because you will lose.

Answer 9

Let's just hope all of them get caught.
