Why is it when man cheats it's okay but when woman cheats it's not okay?

hello... that's also a question i am asking...why why why? i remember when somebody cheats me long time ago, i am really hurt and have a thought of having a vengeance, my mom told me..."forgive him, its ok, he's a man and you are not yet married...but don't ever do what your thinking because you are a girl and that will not be good for you..."HUH!?! up to now i don't get it...why its ok for a man and not for a woman... but anyway, i think either ways are not ok...so what if he's a man? it is still cheating! and i think everybody deserves a second chance as long as they are sincerely asking for it... have a nice day! :-)

I think nowadays its OK for both men and women to cheat, separate and move on with life…no issues at all. However, you friend is correct in the sense that the world is too skewed towards the men and woman have always had a bad time. Women mostly used to forgive their husbands for cheating coz they had no other option. Women did not earn independently and their parents did not want to take them back…so compromise with a flirtatious husband was their only way of survival. Men had no such problems, obviously, and they would rather blackmail their wives into either accepting or leaving for good!

God morning, Azareus, Welcome to Mylot, hope you will enjoy staying in this great forum. Why is it when man cheats it's okay but when woman cheats it's not okay? Cheating is not OK at all, for female or male. It is not OK at all. But for some reason they do anyway. And I can not really understand why. Why cheat in the first place. You are in love with your partner, and then why need to look for something els. In my opinion anyone who cheat, should live on their own, not being in a relationship at all, they just should stay single until they are ready to settle down.

Cheating is very bad as one can go away from that person uner mutual agreement so I believe that people who cheat on their partner are greedy ones because they want to enjoy both sides equally so this is bad. Now As your question indicates I have also come under this conclusion by a friend of mine.She had forgiven her hubby very easily and when she was only talking to someone else her husband was so furious that he accused her of cheating and she could not bear it and got divorced because the husband was not mature enough to understand that. So here we have seen that it is very difficult for the man to forget and forgive the woman while the latter can do it very easily for him. It is all a fact of maturity. unerstanding and nature. One needs to be very open minded but at the same time very faithful also to expect the same from the other one.

yeah !! Girls are known for their elegance n sincierity !! But boys are taken for granted in this matter !! So may be girls are blammed when they cheat !! Boys are used to it !! haahaha...........

i think its because they people think that women should be good at all times and in whatever she do so that they will be a good example to their children and to others... Maybe... =D

Well thats easy, its because when a lady cheats, she carries the evidence, whereas if a dude cheats someone else bears the evidence. ahehe.

cheating is not,and will never be,ok.regardless of the gender,it doesn't matter who does it.it is hurtful,especially to the one they hurt.it will leave emotional scars that will take a long time to heal.the person that got hurt may have a hard time to trust somebody again.it degrades the persone who cheated,and he/she will find it difficult to have someone trust him/her again.

I am not sure how you came up with this thought...because as for me, either way, may it be men or women, it is still cheating, no matter which angle you look at it. I don't think it's okay for me if man cheats either... if you're talking aboit how the public looks at it, well, as part of the public, I hate cheating!

I dont think its okay for either a man or a woman to cheat cheating is wrong, and if you truly loved the person you wouldnt and if its the fact that you dont love them anymore, then break it off first.

Well it is because of man's ego when they cheat it is like it is okay and there is always a good reason for it and we women should forgive them. But when a woman does it, it is a shame to him as he fear when people know about his woman is sleeping with other people it will hurt his pride more than anything. I have had friends who are couples and we had similar discussions before and basically it is more of the ego and pride ...the fear of being teased by his mates or anyone that his woman is a bad woman and so on. If a guy really loves and understands his woman...both will be able to talk this through and what seems to be making this problem arise in the beginning.

because a man is a man and a woman is a woman.

human behavior is so possessive a man is always more possessive with their stuff's also woman is much more possessive with their own stuff. now about cheating is always bad but in the bad society it is good yes it true when man cheats it is ok but when woman cheats we blemish her why why why because man always dominate woman earlier but now a day's changes are going on so now a days both can cheats each other

Theres nothing right for a man to cheat. a cheater is a cheater no matter how u look at it.

Why is it when guys cheat it's okay but now when girls cheat? Hello Azaerus, I know exactly what you are saying. Sometimes a person forces you to cheat if they stop making love with you. I'm not excusing cheating but I do know exactly what you are saying. Guys cheat all the time, sometimes they will peep at another girl when you are right there in there presence and to me that is the same as cheating because they are lusting for that other person in the mind. Then they will tell you. I got eyeballs to look with. But still that shouldn't make it alright. Where is the respect I wonder? I do think that it's all because we live in a sexist kind of world and as they say, a man can lay around with a ho, then get up the next day and put on a suit and he will still be considered a decent and respectable man but if a woman goes out and sleep around she would be considered a ho. I just don't understand it. I think it's a double standard that exist in our society no matter how much we'd like to think that it doesn't.

It's more of a lack of trust issue. A lot of women kinda expect men to cheat every once and a while. As a dude, I'm just a tad bit offended by that. If I'm in a serious relationship with a women, I want to to respect me as much as they would assume I would respect her. When a women does it, it's more shocking to some because they are seen as more loyal to their partners. Infidelity is not exclusive to male or female.

Well, that's the culture we all know and that's unfair. There should be equal treatment on both sexes when it comes to infidelity. I don't also believe in the saying forgive and forget. Because once my trust is broken, it is very hard to regain.

It is never ok to cheat no matter if you are a man or a woman. Cheating hurts not only hurts the individual being cheated on but also the one doing the cheating. As my mama would say "the grass may look greener on the other side, but that's just because you are looking at it the wrong way. From a health standpoint, there are far to many diseases being passed around like skittles. It healthier to stay faithful.

i think the way most people look at it is men are going to cheat, thats what we expect , because in the earlier years men cheated and the women couldn't say anything! personally i believe one is just as bad as the other! women are likely to forgive and forget where when you cheat on a man you crush his pride and their not so forgiving!

this is correct, excellent
