This kinda goes with my why do men cheat when they already have a fly woman? Please answer that question as well. But...due to a discussion with a male friend the other night...why is it worse if a female cheats than if a male cheats? Is not just cheating? What's the deal with the double standard?

That's...dumb cheating is cheating. Female or male. there is no it's not as bad. As a guy of my whole life. I cannot see a time when a dude cheats and it is ok. or not as bad. Any other way of looking at it just sounds schovanistic.

All in all it isn't worse when a female cheats, they are both terrible when they happen.
One thing I have got to say though is that seeing men who have been cheated on vs. a woman...it seems like the men don't handle it as well. As a matter of fact, I have seen men become so pitiful after a woman cheats. The woman tends to bounce back a lot quicker...and sometimes wisens up. Men can become withdrawn or abusive or begin womanizing to fight the pain of being rejected and humiliated.
Men may have more fragile egos. So there may be some truth that it is worse when the woman cheats.
I don't even know what a fly woman is...maybe someone that gives favors to the guy despite that he is in a relationship. That sounds like cheating to me as well.

All through history there has been a double standard: one for men and a completely different one for women. While this is not right, it IS the way things are.
Back in the day when I went to a private high school, they would kick out the girl who got pregnant, as well as tell her she couldn't march with her graduating class, but the boy who got her pregnant could stay in class...hmmmm. That doesn't seem right at all, since both did the SAME THING. The girl suffered more because it was VISIBLE.
The only reason it's worse for a woman to cheat is because she will suffer more severely in society, and pay dearly. If you research it a little, read the Scarlet Letter...nothing changes.

It's not worse for a women to cheat. It's equally bad for both man and women. Some people think that if a woman cheats than she is a whore, but if a man cheats than it's okay because it shows he must have some sort of ability..... or else all those women wouldn't want him. It is just cheating, and it's ridiculous to say that one is worse than the other.

Well its surely double standards. Cheating is cheating and equally wrong no matter who is doing it. But still let me try to elaborate in some other terms what your friend might have tried to tell you.
By nature, in any animals or humans or insects, you will find that females have sex by choice and not by sexual drive. Males try to impress females in every nook and corner of nature (e.g peacock showing its feathers) and then the male who impresses a female gets the reward of having sex with her. Get the point here, the female has a choice of 100s of males whom she doesn't need to pursue for long, because any male is almost readily available for sex anytime by nature, they dont have much of a choice thing in them. Females however choose the best man or sometimes men, but then there is choice.
Thats why its said "Females think by heart and male things neither with brains or heart when it comes to sex"

One is just as bad as the other. Its never ok for any gender to cheat. It hurts whether u have female genitalia or male genitalia.
I think ur friend is trying to justify his indiscretions.
And as far as a man cheating when he has a fly woman....it boils down to this. Not all men cheat. You have just picked the wrong type of man.
Dump the scum and seek out a man who knows a good thing when he has it.
Good luck hun.

I think its worst because society puts women on a higher standard than they put men. "A woman is suppose to be there no matter what her man dose." Men are known and expected to cheat not women. So when men find out that their lady cheated on them, they feel she dirty. I think men cheat because they're gettin somethin new even if they have a fly chic at home. Its a ego thing. If they have 2-3 ladies they go it goin on. And the outside ladies crazy bout him

Its evenly bad for either gender to do it... There could be a double-standard associated with this matter, but the fact still remains that guys are going to get the worse reputation because there is a much stronger hatred for men who cheat than women.

Yea, its about double standards, sadly. In the old days (even now, regarding the religion Islam) males are regarded as a more powerful sex than females, so they are given the previledge to be polygamous. Also, this is just my theory, that females are expected to act in a more subtle, more refined way than males, and cheating isn't really refined behaviour. *winks*

It is a fact that people are harder in women than in men when it comes to cheating for is even more of a true fact that cheating is equally bad for both men and women to do... but that is just how it is.. men can do it but women can't.... Me i did this for a long time you cheat I cheat.. If men can walk on the moon so can we... after a while it just got boring.. I decided no more cheating on my behalf and if he ever cheat again is DIVORCE AND START NEW FOR ME...
