Anyone will cheat under ideal circumstances. Cheating is biologically advantageous. This monogamy bullshit is a cognizant desire, not an instinctual one. Naturally, when people answer this question, they are thinking cognizantly--with their mind, not their instincts. They cannot say what they would do in any situation. They don't have to fight their instincts to answer this question. It's basically the same as asking "what would you do if someone pointed a gun at your parents?" I don't know about females, but most males would probably say "I would try to fuck them up to protect my family." Except they don't know what they would do in that situation, unless they've been in it. And even if they've been in it, they haven't been in other, similar situations. They might piss their pants and beg for life: legs gone to rubber and fall down from adrenaline. They simply do not know until it happens. Same with cheating.
I've done both. I've felt a huge pull towards a girl who I was going to sleep with, but ended up calling my girlfriend and saying "Sorry, I have to break up with you." I called, because I thought it was better to break up--even over the phone--rather than technically cheat. I was a kid then. But, I've also cheated on a girlfriend who went to the military, because she was gone. I didn't see her at all for months. But, one girl kept coming over my house and spending time with me, and one thing just led to another. It wasn't as if I wanted to cheat on my girlfriend. It was just another girl that I had a lot of feelings for--a lot--and I simply couldn't resist, being sad and lonely without my girlfriend around. You can love more than one person.
As for your position on men, I can't say I don't understand your bitterness. I'm sure I have some towards women, as well. The so-called love that women have is easily traded in for a better model. To men, sex is not love; but, it is to women. Sex is simply a physical act. We can have it with or without love. But, men still have the desire to have sex with many, many women, no matter being in love or not. The instinctual urge to "spread the seed". Tho women also desire variety: why so many 40+year old W cheat. Point being: I understand your bitterness. I ultimately do not think that women nor men are naturally monogamous. We are technically "serial monogamists", which I think is a joke, because serial monogamy is closer to polyamory than true monogamy--only having one partner for life, even if they die vs jumping from one partner to the next

The best predictor of someone's behavior in the future is their behavior in the past. I have never been unfaithful in 41 sexually active years.
I have never cheated.
I have been cheated on in the past. It was... surreal.
And even if I thought cheating was an acceptable thing to do... my current boyfriend is the be all and end all of amazing. Like... there's no reason to look elsewhere.
He satisfies all aspects that I desire satisfied in my relationship. There's nothing I need that he doesn't provide. So it's not like I have anything to look for that he doesn't offer lol
I've sort of cheated. Emotionally? I have cheated hardcore (not on purpose). Physically? I have been kind of close to it. Twice (two different guys). I broke up with my now ex-bf because I knew that I couldn't continue with this. I knew it wasn't fair to him and I realized that he was rebound relationship and I still wasn't ready to be emotionally committed to anyone else at the moment.
Sorry to hear you feel that way, but I still believe most people take their relationships seriously and wouldn't cheat on each other. I know I wouldn't cheat on my spouse. Otherwise I wouldn't be in the relationship in the first place if I didn't truly love them. But to each their own...

Cheating is out of the question for me. If I want to move on I will simply end things not to lose the guy's time.
No. Absolutely not to both... I've never cheated, nor would I ever think of doing that in the future. I think it's the lowest thing you could do, and if I ever did sink so low the guilt/self-disgust would hurt me more than it would negatively affect anyone else. I don't think cheating by other sex is inevitable for men or women.
I think it's one of those things that nobody really wants or aspires to do. But given the situation and opportunity, I think only living the situation would reveal the answer. I don't know what kind of feelings come up in those cases, so I don't dare to absolutely say that I will never cheat
I have never cheated and unlike your poll, its not I think I neve will, I won't. Its a choice, you chose to be a worthless human being or choose not to be, I choose to be a decent human being. It really is that simple.
Have you ever/would you ever cheat?
D. i have never cheated and don't think i ever will
I'd just phone the guy and tell him we're on break then have sex with the other guy. Afterwards I'd call up the first guy and tell him we're off break.Don't cheat, it's that simple. Cheating is selfish and hurts everyone involved. Better to break it off than to cheat.
Cheating is cheating whether it's emotional or physical. Besides, what goes around will ALWAYS come back around
I've done terrible things in my life but never have I descended that low morally.
Never cheated and I pray to god I never disrespect my partner by doing so
Never been in a committed relationship, let alone been in a situation where I'm tempted to cheat. I'd like to say I never would, but I'll never truly know until I'm in that situation.
Never cheated, won't ever cheat, either. If I really wanted to get my dicks wet for one girl, it's obvious I don't really want to be in a relationship.
I have never even had the urge to cheat. If things are that bad, I would rather just break up.
I have never cheated, ill never cheat, and ill never date someone who was once a cheater.
It depends would you call kissing another girl intimately and fingering her while you have a girlfriend cheating provided that you told your girlfriend the next day about the event?
My girlfriend is a lot hotter than I am, I don't think that I could get another girl like her. It would be stupid for me to cheat on her.
never been in a relationship so I couldn't cheat even if I wanted to
i have cheated yes, basically on a girl with another guy as i wanted to experiment
I've never cheated before but it's possible. I would definitely tell them though.
a lot of people on this site say they never cheat or thought about it is BS
I never had a real relationship, so there's no one to cheat on for me.
