I think dudes cheat more just because most men are driven by impulse. Women tend to think things out and listen to their feelings and stuff.

Men will cheat, then when their partner finds out, they'll cry and beg for forgiveness, lamenting their piggishness, not wanting to lose their partner.

Women who cheat I *think* are more apt to do so because the relationship is bad, they're unhappy, they want out. Not saying it's justified, because it is NOT.

YMMV...I just think it's more apt to be this way.

I agree, Shaw--men cheat because they have a penis and no self control; women cheat because it's already over.

Would you say that women are specifically qualified to determine when it's "over" whereas men do not have this capability?

Men not only can't tell when it's over, we can't tell when it's starting.

Men will stay with the status quo longer, especially if they're cheating. Women will have already made that decision.

Men are just wimpier.



Just kiddin'

No, I'm saying men will cheat even if they don't want to lose their wife. Women are more likely to only cheat once they've decided they don't care if they lose their husband.

Of course, I'm afraid of death. And I don't cheat.

So it boils down to the old saying regarding sex, "Women need a reason to have it, men just need a place".

they were talking about this on the radio this morning and had a study that said 1/5 men cheat, 1/6 women, but women are way better at it and are less likely to get found out so the perception is that men cheat much more than women when in fact it's only a little more. of course this was a local rock station which gives equal airtime to studies proving that it was actually Liz Taylor that died and Whacko took her place so he could get closer to little children....
