does every guy cheat?

Question

if so, what does is say about their feelings towards their partner?

Answer 1

Men cheat 60% of the time and women 40%. I don't think it's for the reasons people assume (just sex or for the thrills, etc).

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 in love 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

does every guy cheat..haha...great question...

Well, I think that every guy has the CAPACITY to cheat, if that is what you are curious about. But I do believe that some men (and women, for that matter) have the ability to self-moderate their behavior. I think it is only human that men be attracted to various women and vice-versa - whether married, single or whatever. It is just plain human nature, and you would be a liar or a fool not to admit that. But depending on two main factors (1) the person's level of commitment to their current partner and (2) that person's own self-control will ultimately decide if they are going to act upon their sexual attraction.

Answer 3

No they don't. I've been married for 19 years and I know my husband has never cheated, his 2 brothers are a different story. I think men that cheat are basically 1. insecure. 2. not getting what they think they need at home.

Answer 4

If you consider kissing a schoolmate I hadn't seen in 40 yrs. I cheated. Otherwise never. I have a hard working wife who's an Rn. and a daughter who also is an Rn. and another daughter who's a guidance teacher in a large HS. They're both happily married and we have a granddaughter.

Answer 5

Answer 8

Find a nice Christian man that has truly given his life to the Lord and you won't need to worry about his cheating.

Answer 9

No not every guy cheats but when someone does it means that they need to get out of that relationship.... because they obviously don't care....

Answer 10

That's like asking if every woman cheats?

Not a fair assumption to put them all in one category.
