Do you know why men cheats more than women? I have a theory, well last Sunday me and my hubby went to store looking for some items, this is a bargain place make the best deal if you know you can, I was able to bargain 17 items for the price of 12, hubby on the other hand just go with the items at the regular price while me before purchasing I ask around first, he on the other hand just go straight to the one store he sees first. In a way I have connected it to relationships, men easily falls on a woman, when they see one thing they like, they grab it (like the way they shop) and when they think their relationship has nowhere to go, they shop again for another, unlike we women, we canvass around and takes time before choosing and when we do chose it is the best we can see. do you agree on me? as for hubby I told him good thing that he takes responsibility on the things he bought and that he stand by it no matter how expensive it is. Woman are very choosy, in shopping, in men, in food, but when they do chose, it is the best deal they can do. You think so?

Interesting theory, which I think is a good analogy for some couples. I must say that if anything, I fall into the "man" category and my husband is the "woman" in your analogy! And no, I have never cheated! Personally though, I know more women that cheat than men. I have no idea why people cheat. I believe it not only shows that the cheater has absolutely no respect for their significant other, much less love them, but it ends up hurting everyone, including the cheater.

Yeah, if you think about deeper, you would still will not understand how a person can cheat to his or her partner.

That's a good analogy. I never really thought about it like that but I can see that being somewhat true. A woman is more willing to work with a man then a man is willing to work with a woman. That's a good point. Oh, by the way, my husband does that when we go shopping as well.

I guess this could be true. But I believe these days that women are cheating nearly as much as men. I just think they are better at hiding it. Men like to brag about 'getting another woman' because they think it makes them more of a man. I know of many women who have gone astray in their relationships these days. So I don't believe it is limited to men anymore. I think too many people are going to marriage with the impression that if it doesn't work out they can always get a divorce.

In some society and country yes they do, but in more, I guess they prefer to hide it to prevent troubles.

Bragging about "getting another woman" is generally (and sensibly!) kept only to the great wide expanses of bachelorhood. Men who brag about "another woman" as a complement to their first are just asking for trouble.

Well, to me, women do not cheat as much as men mostly because of duty to their family and because they are a little picky. There are a lot of women who do cheat, but sometimes, they are able to get away with it more than men. Some women are really good liars. Most men feel like they do not have to faithful to their wives because they have "needs". People, it is not that hard to stick to one person, and it is not the hard to tell the truth. If you are not in love with that person anymore then tell them. If you are feeling neglected in the relationship, then say something. Cheating is so hurtful.

yes it is, it just a matter of knowing your commitments and standing up to it, I guess a lot does not know about it.

It is a good example but then there are also women who pick up anything from the store and run home from the looks of it. Thanks for the topic tho

Men are polygamous by nature. It is already part of there nature as men to cheat although there are some who still stick to one person but still they do have fantasy over other women. Men may cheat but they only marry one person and spend the rest of there life with that person. They are capable of having several partners but there is only one person that they truly love. It makes me wonder too how can a person love one woman yet still wanted to have a relationship with another woman. Perhaps because men by nature has its physical needs and sometimes men who are strong and powerful usually attracts women.The other women chooses to stay inspite the fact that they are married. And because men have physical urge that they cant do to the person they truly love they usually perform these fantasy on there mistress. But in fairness to some men there are still few who are devoted to there wives and who tried the best they can never to commit adultery. Women on the other hand are opposite because we are monogamous by nature. Women who cheats are women who had lots of issue over there partner. Its either because the men cheat or she was not treated well by her partner. But usually women who were treated right by there husband or partner sticks to there men no matter what.

oh I knew some women who cheats out of ego, some think they are as invincible as men and that they can get away with it, and knew some men who are faithful to his wife, but then again, here in my country almost all the married man I knew cheats. Even on my hubby's family, most of his brothers cheats their wife in one way or another, makes me paranoid sometimes, says its all in the blood..

Hmm you have a real big point there. Perhaps women doesn't cheat more than men does because she treasures the relationship more than men does. Happy mylotting!

he he, not in all cases but I guess in some it is true, specially here in our country, here women are believed to be the one caring for the relationship and not the man.

I certainly agree. Girls tend to be fickle minded too.. We can't make up our mind fast but once we do, we tend to be more faithful and devoted than guys. Guys usually just go for it without much thinking. If they realize that the girls do not suit their taste, they just dump them aside and seek for a new one. In some cases, they will two-time the girl.

A survey by Durex concluded that 40% of women cheat on their lovers while only 34% of men cheated. I think due to our culture today, the playing field (no pun intended) has evened out. I think it may be a power thing. Because men used to be the breadwinners while their wives depended mostly on their husbands salaries, men felt they could cheat with fewer repurcussions. It was almost a right. Now that women earn their own money, are in powerful position, etc. If they feel they want to, they do. They no longer fear being unable to care for themselves and their families. Just a thought.

Yes another good theory, as they say economic power begets political power.

I think that men react to their need as soon as they get them, Most women think about things and realize all the things that can go wrong and back off. So It's not that women don't feel the same attractions they are just slower to react.

They don't! Women don't 'seldom cheat'. From the, admittedly limited stats and surveys we have, neither men and women as groups cheat substantially more than the other.

yes if you will look on the issue deeply, both men and women cheats.

Wow! nice one pehpot!... I think that women seldom cheats rather than men is because when a women fell inlove, their feelings are true and as the relationship goes on, they fell deeply and they are seldomly look for another if they already have their own. It's like shopping on a sale mall and when you find what you like you hold onto it so that nobody can take that away from you. We women don't want our guy being grab by anyone, we want that we are the only one on their heart and mind and love us the way we love them. On the other hand, SOME men cheats because when they found something on the other that they haven't found on what they already have, they kinda give in to it. Like buying a car, a stock car. When they found a new one that has more features than what they already bought, they somewhat wanted to change some of the features of what they have or for some discard the old one and buy a new one. But I hate cheaters!!!! LOL!!!

as they say it is like ordering a food in the restaurant, when you saw what your friends ordered, you wish you had ordered the same.

I agree with you because I am men, I know that if I love one thing I just do it and just like I love mylot and I will focus on it. I don't cheat but I will see the situation to cheat someone because I am working as sales and I usually see the customer body language and if I can cheat them I will do it because without doing it I can't get their respect and also get the good price for my company to earn more money to pay us salary. Do you agree?

Ha ha. another benefits of cheating? I guess in your case it can't be called that way, more politically correct word is marketing strategies.

hi pehpot, that's an intelligent way of linking shopping and cheating. but you know what, in our case, my husband is the one bargaining and searching for the best buy and i am the one who grabs and pay. really!! you know, my husband takes like two hours to look for a pair of shoes, him ending up finding three to four nice ones, and it takes another two to three hours deciding which of those is the nicest pair!! really, it takes us like one whole day just to buy a single thing he needs. while me, if i need, say, a brown blouse, i will just go to two to three boutiques to look for a blouse that suits my taste, and it will just take me like 30 minutes to decide which of the three blouses i will buy. that easy. so in this case, would that mean that i am to cheat in the future? ;)

since men literally are polygamous and they easily get attracted to other women, they more likely to cheat that women, women on the other hand are born monogamous and sensitive so they don't usually cheat since they treat relationship as one sacred thing.

Interesting. You may be right but I know of a few women who were serial cheaters and their husbands did not cheat, they just divorced them. Women may be choosier than men I am not sure. I am thinking of my partner. He certainly shops faster than I do but that could be because he thinks faster and makes his decisions faster than I do. We usually choose the same things it just takes me longer. I have no statistics on whether more men that women cheat but I know both do. Perhaps women are more inclined to leave an unsatisfactory relationship rather than cheat. Or maybe the price of cheating has always been much higher for women. After all if a married woman cheats she is guilty of adultery but if a married man cheats with a single girl he is not guilty of adultery only fornication which is a very minor crime.

I guess the price of cheating is higher for women, that is why seldom cheats..

So that is your theory? Ha!ha!ha! In a way that may apply. But generally, I believe it is because there is a very wrong notion that people tend to have wrongly accepted... That man can get away with it anyway because they are men and will loose nothing. However this wrong notion does not mean that adultery and promiscuity in men are justified. Unlike animals, human beings were created with a moral conscience and intelligence to refrain from immoral behavior. Men and women alike will face God in judgment. ------------------------- In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. (Romans 2:16) For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. (Ecclesiastes 12:14)

yes another great theory, here in our country men known to be cheater and polygamous, that is because the society tolerates this kind of wrong doings and actually in some areas thinks that is macho to be polygamous.
