Who is usually more loyal in a relationship: Men or Women?

[n0t-typical]

Women

Men

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

In my opinion women are more loyal. Women are more prone to express their unhappiness, where men are more inclined to keep it internal. Also more and more men use the justification that it's "in men's nature to cheat" as a justification to their actions.
But here's the thing I don't understand. If you know you are incapable of being with one person, why would you go after someone who is only looking to be with one person. Why are you not looking for someone who feels the same way you do? Noone is"wrong" for what they want or need out of a partner or relationship. The "wrong" comes in when you try to conform someone into who/what you want them to be instead of accepting them for who/what they are. Or when you lie to someone for your personal gratification with little to no disregard for the other person's feelings or how your actions affect someone.

Its really difficult to say but I bet its really close. I grew up thinking men were the predominant cheaters (my Mum would say this a lot and obviously its what I saw as my Dad cheated on my Mum) so I just assumed that that was the case.
However, I have since known a lot of women to cheat. My best friend's parents split up in similar circumstances to mine, but her was the one who cheated. I had a female friend who cheated (no longer friends with her) and I was also shocked when my boyfriend opened up to me about most of the women he had dated previously cheating on him.

I am probably more inclined to say men because I think they might have a slight edge but I do think that it is closer than most people think.

Depends on which study we go after and circumstance they play out in.

One study did female's ditch their partner more than males when their partner did get very sick.

And a lot of variants of both genders being more prone to cheating. she fucks her husband's boss behind his back to make him get favors (mostly known about female's from USA in the past) .
He go somewhere else when she negligate him. she get some to revenge something he did that isn't even cheating.
The list goes on.

When it comes to it it's more a personality trait not gender wise.

Every human is different,, so it would be the one who thinks of others before themselves it's the one who knows the difference between right and wrong it's the one who makes the choice in a moment that I wouldn't want it done to me and this is who I choose to be loyal and honest with myself

[razelove]

Once women commit to a relationship they're generally more loyal, they'll just leave if they want different for the most part. Men tend to be more loyal before anything is really set in stone with assumptions as to what is expected or what will be, then when it is set in stone get restless from being "caged, trapped" whatever. Peacock's gotta fly!

[AmandaYVR]

Women used to be more loyal and men strayed more but now it's about equal.

[AlphaBot]

Men far more loyal. If you would have used "faithful" in place of... Well then, I would humbly/reluctantly concur.

[AmandaYVR]

@AlphaBot
Don't you think the Asker is using it interchangeably?
Loyal: Giving or showing firm and constant support or allegiance to a person or institution.
Faithful: Remaining loyal and steadfast; (of a spouse or partner) never having a sexual relationship with anyone else.
Usually I like to use language quite specifically, but in this instance I don't see much difference between the two. 'Faithful' has been used as a euphemism for sexual fidelity, but loyal is broad and I would think can be applied to both, no? If men are having just as many or more affairs, how can they be considered more loyal?

Not true

[Djaay]

Women are'nt more loyal , they're just more interested. And when they're interest diminish , they're interest are manufested and invested somewhere else.

[Stephen_77]

@Djaay So true. Most young women aren't interested in rela commitment.

[startingfitness]

I think women are a bit more extreme about either and men are a bit more in the middle.

What i mean is that there are women who are extremely loyal, like loyal to a fault. And then there are women who are absolutely insatiable and have no such thing as a moral compass.
I have seen men who are players and proud of it, but not to the same extent as women.
But also most men would dump the woman or cheat on her if we were cheated on or denied sex for an unreasonable long time.
Some women on the otherhand remain loyal even though the guy does bs like this and even more!

Recent studies show that men are slightly more likely to cheat, but only slightly. I reluctantly voted A in the poll because the truth is it's virtually even.

I don’t like this question, very provocative and men basically say women and women say men. It’s not facts, and opinions matter sure, but they are still not facts. Anyway, it depends on the person, their views, how their family treated them and what kind of relationship their parents had, their education, their sensibility and capacity of being empathetic and so many other reasons that MATTER.

[logik11]

I actually think women are more faithful most women I know will put up with a lot of crap from their guy before straying where guys can loose sight of what's important in their relationship and drive it down a path of infidelity

[TrulyPink28]

But men will stick in a bad marriage for years even if they look outside somewhat... they will not go esp. if children are involved and the shame associated with having a failure of a relationship...

[R_Cakes91]

Loyalty isn’t a gender issue. Both men and women are capable of being equally horrible to their significant others in relationships. This question is outdated

[Anonymous]

If you want a real answer to this question then look up how many "women" ask on this site alone if it's ok to branch swing/monkey branch while they're with their bf's and compare that to the number of guys who ask if it's ok to cheat on their gf's (which is 0 btw) (from the time i started this site answering questions on here). Then once you see the difference in number of questions you'll have your REAL answer.

[hsshannah96]

Men very much enjoy provoking and insulting the girl to the point the girl cries which the guy seems to enjoy

I since have been single 😂😂😂 I HATE immature manipulation and games

[TrulyPink28]

Funnily, I think men are when they truly love the girl. Otherwise, women are if they're loved hard...

[TrulyPink28]

They've loved hard*

[pinky_kitty]

we can say in general because we both cheat so i can say it's depends on the situations in the relationship

[pinky_kitty]

i mean we can't say in general,, i turned off my auto _correct lol

[sawno]

Voted men but meant to vote women. I don't think there is a big difference but from a biological standpoint women are more sexually conservative.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Probably both but women just get away with it better. When women cheat, they come off as victims. When guys cheat, they are just assholes. Like they tend to act like we're the one's who should be sorry when they cheat.

[AynonOMouse]

People with conservative morals are more loyal and people with liberal morals aren't. That pretty much sums it up.

[AreWeHuman]

I feel like woman know they can always get a man but for us men it isn't as easy especially the older you get.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Using my family & friends as the basis of my study, men are the more loyal ones among them.

[wynn-ing]

We're all kidding ourselves choosing a side.

There's loyal men and women and disloyal men and women.
This is a stupid question.

[AlphaBot]

Don't get me wrong, Maybe replace "loyal" with "faithful" and my answer changes. Despite what gut tells me is going to be public consensus, loyal and faithful aren't quite synonymous.

[mojj0]

Stereotypically women are, but it just comes down to people's individual personalities

[roland77]

Add "Both" and "Neither". It depends on the people's characteristics, not their gender. Also woman can cheat and so being loyal and same with male.
