who are these people who say it is ok for males to cheat? (note, i say male, not man. A male who cheats is not a man, they lack the maturity) I think anyone who cheats is not psychologically ready for the relationship they are in and is deserving of social condemnation, either male or female
blessed be

I don't think it's okay for either to cheat. I believe if you are going to be in a relationship then you are making a committment to each other. I know what you are saying tho people look down more on women when they cheat. :(

I think this is changing as women and men are getting more equal rights and duties in other areas of life. where I live, in norway, i do not think people judge men and women who cheats differently anymore. At least not the people i spend time with.

This is what I hated so much. My boyfriend always say those lines to me, that it's ok for a man to cheat because they would not lose anything unlike women.
I extremely don't agree of what he say. It would be unfair for women if this is true. Men and women were created by God fairly. We should have the same right.

It isn't ok for either to cheat, argie. We just live in a male-dominated society that will turn a blind eye to men cheating moreso than women. I think that anyone who cheats is a lowlife-be it man or woman. I would get out of a relationship before I would stoop to cheating. Cheating undermines the self-esteem of the injured party once it is found out. Why would anyone want to do that to another person?

That is true I have noticed that myself. My ex husband acted all concited when I knew for sure he was cheating on me. I use to worry about my weight but he left me for someone a lot bigger then I am. It's alright now though he wasn't happy when I divorced him.

It's okay for no one to cheat, man or woman.. Mainly it's excuses that people make. And funnily enough it's mostly women who say that it's in the nature of a man to cheat. I've never heard a man say that yet...
It's mainly an individual issue.... People, both men and women cheat for lots of different reasons, sometimes it's to do with their own self-esteem issues, or emotional disconnection with their partners, or something else, but it has nothing to do with their gender. In any case, no reason is a good enough reason to cheat. It's a really cowardly and selfish act that can hurt many others, so it's ok for no one to cheat, and don't listen to people who tell you otherwise...

It is NOT ok for a man to cheat. It is NOT ok for ANYONE to cheat. People expect it more out of men because they are more sexually driven than women in most cases. However, that does not give them a free pass to go screwing around.

It's no Ok for men to cheat!!! Nor for women. It's also kind of cheating, hurting and having bad reputation too if a man cheats on his wife. I don't think a man who cheats would escape people's criticism or avoid having a bad name for himself.

Who says its ok for men to cheat ?? I think that both sides have self respect and moral bindings, and its not that one is forgivable for it. I think its also important for males to be honest and they dont cheat their wives let whatever happen.
Thats all i think about. But yes you are right in pointing that there is natural tendency of finding the women accused to have cheating rather than male.

It's not OK for men to cheat. SOME of them just do. And most women EXPECT them to do so.
As for the question regarding a bad rep women acquire after sleeping with multiple partners, I mean its quite self explanatory. First of all, WOMEN are RARE jewels.
We should carry ourselves in a respectable way. What do you hope to accomplish by sleeping with multiple partners? Women are MOTHERS, GRANDMOTHERS, SISTERS.... we have others that look up to us. When my child, grandchild, niece or kids in the community see me I want them to see a RARE jewel and not the TOWN ****. As far as being accepted by the community, as long as I can live with myself, who care if the community accepts me or not. It's all about how you present yourself.

For as long as there has been a society there has been a double standard. I don't think it's right for either to cheat. But that's human nature. I think from the beginning of time until now it's assumed that men are judged by their masculinity. Women by there feminity and ablitiy to be mothers....and mother's are supposed to set examples.
