3.6K opinions shared on Relationships topic. No, it's not true - UNLESS you are only focused on the top 10% of men (which are the only men that most women care about - they generally ignore the other 90% completely). Top 10% men have 80% of the women trying to get with them, so they know they can bang all the girls they want and never have to commit to any of them, so the vast majority of them do just that. And girls know this too - most are completely aware of the history of the guys they choose to date, but they overlook it because they believe that, somehow, things will be different with her. Then the dude ghosts her or cheats on her, and she's hurt and "surprised."
Men who are serious about relationships and want a life-long relationship are ALREADY that way - and if you ask them, they'll tell you so. And just the same, men who don't want a committed relationship usually are pretty open about that too. Hundreds, probably thousands of women have posted a question on GaG that more-or-less says "he told me he doesn't want anything serious, but I want a real relationship - do you think he'll change his mind and commit?" NO! Of course not! That guy was NEVER a "relationship guy" - but that's the guy that women always run to, and think they can CHANGE. You CANNOT change a guy, and if you try to date a guy who isn't already a "relationship guy," you should not be shocked when he doesn't commit to you, and won't change his mind.
"Relationship guys" are generally in the bottom 80-90% of men - which are the men who are mostly invisible to most women. If you aren't looking for a man among this group, then the chances of finding a "relationship guy" are about the same as winning a Lotto jackpot - it's technically not impossible, but the odds of success are absolutely terrible. About the only thing with worse odds is trying to change a "player" into a relationship guy - THAT *IS* pretty much impossible.
And, yet, millions of women will wake up tomorrow and start looking for "relationship guys" among the top 10% guys, and some will tell her "I only want a casual relationship" or "I'm not looking for anything serious" - and a few will lie and say "sure, I'll commit to you!" only to disappear after having sex. She'll get angry at all men, and then she'll do it all over again, never learning the lesson...

Not true.
Coming from a man and growing up with real men myself all my life, I can tell you that the true ones WILL stay with one woman throughout their lives.
I don't want to point fingers or judge any group, but this question seems very "womanist" to me, but I digress. As I said, the true men won't go looking at other women when they know they've found "the One". Not all men are playboys and not all men are actively looking to increase their lay count into the quadruple digits. That's just a lie these redpillers and pseudo alphas like spreading and I highly disagree with everything these woman haters spread.
Let me tell you the story of my grandpa aka my idol and my mom's dad. Him and my grandma i. e my mom's mom were together since they were teenagers and their relationship lasted around thirty years. My grandpa was a simple man and never dared lift his eye towards another woman, even though he was very handsome and gentlemanly for his time. He only had eyes for my grandma who herself was also beautiful and adored him to death. Their lives was a true storybook romance come to life. Unfortunately, my grandma was aoon diagnosed with cancer, which broke my grandpa. He'd spend all of his time at the hospital next to her and sometimes even cry in between prayers, begging God to make her as good as before and it was heartbreaking to watch. When she passed away, my grandpa was never the same again. He seemed lost in his old world and most of the time, sad and lonely as well. My mom and aunts suggested him to remarry but he rejected the offer, saying that nobody could take my grandma's place. In a few months, he passed away in his sleep, even though he was perfectly healthy physically. He died from heartbreak and sorrow.

@Yu-Mi no worries bud. Not saying that there aren't bad men out there, but the same can be said for women too. It's a gamble we all have to take in the game of love because most of the time, you can never judge a book by its cover. Just remember not everyone's the same. If he truly loves you, he'd rather stay single and die single rather than cheating on you with someone else. And if he does cheat, he/she never loved you to begin with

+1 yNo, I think that's some toxic soap opera bullshit.
It's extremely likely your partner will cheat, that's just reality. Most people are not very faithful.
But mitigating that is part of building a good relationship.
I've had two long term partners. The first cheated, the second didn't.
But the second partner and I were very open about our sexual needs and wants, and had strong communication about it. I met one of his previous friends with benefits and she and I had a great time just chatting. She remained a platonic friend with him, and she herself was in a non-monogamous marriage.
Having expectations but not communicating will more or less guarantee your partner will cheat, though.
Good communication and trust are necessary.19 Reply- +1 y
Testosterone doesn't make people cheat, honey.
Lack of character, cowardice, and selfishness do.
There's always going to be shitty men (and people, in general). You've gotta learn to spot red flags, mitigate through communication, and call off relationships if you suspect the other party of cheating.
Managing your relationship is an active thing. You can learn to spot red flags, but even then you might still fall for someone who ends up hurting you. That's just the risk of love.
The question is, is it worth it to you and can you be strong and courageous enough to love again? - +1 y
I had to do a lot of soul searching and self-reflection after my first ex cheated on me.
It ultimately for me came down to the fact that he lied. It wasn't so much the sex with someone else (though it was concerning at first because I didn't know if the sidebitch had an STD or not or if my ex had stuck his dick in other STD ridden pussy and told neither of us), it was that my ex lied straight to my face.
My philosophy on it now is that I'd rather my future partner openly talk to me if they want to have sex with someone else. Maybe that person is into a kink I'm not and my partner wants to try. Or that person has a dynamic I can't provide.
If my partner and I, and the other party involved, can come to an agreement on conditions, boundaries, requirements, and such, then I wouldn't have a problem with it. As long as I know my partner is mine emotionally and romantically, and a little bit of sexual variety will not break their commitment to me, I'm actually ok with them fucking someone else.
I'd be allowed to do it, too.
The key thing for me is really that informed consent and deliberate transparency.
Cheating is fucking a sidebitch and lying to your partner, to me.
Having an agreement all parties are conscious of, consenting to, and informed about is something else. More like a sort of informed non-monogamy.
I knew the cheating hurt, but I didn't know why. Once I understood the lying was the issue, not the sex, it helped me build a stronger relationship for the next time.
My next relationship was LDR over COVID. A perfect cheating set up. But because we went in with eyes open, talking openly and honestly about sex and non-monogamy, it wasn't a problem. He never cheated, neither did I. - +1 y
Thats the worst thing someone can do, bring STD or even HIV to ur partner. But u r right some girls dont mind sharing a man as long is in agreeable terms. Its better thn doing behind someone' s back.
But for me i dont want sharing😅, thats why im taking my time to understand all of these bfr i get into a situation i dont knw. I can't stand my man doing it with someone else than me, for me cheating is worst thing u can do to me in a relationship.
I already knw what i want in a relationship but i dont want get someone who isn't loyal n they r so rare sigh.
But anyways i thk time will tell right - +1 y
@Smoke-n-Growls Men w/ options are going to cheat. Thats just the reality of it. Women dont like to hear it because they want to feel special but close your eyes and think of your dream celebrity crush... do you really think he's going to stay loyal to one woman. Better question name the rich, famous attractive man that has?

Ik women also r no saints but even biological more r more likely to cheat, but it all comes to a choice. Men r easily swayed it takes a really strong man to resist a beautiful woman who is letting herself loose. But majority of women can. Thats why people majority of meb r more likely to cheat but mostly when opportunity present itself.
I also wish this was not true

u +1 yYou are asking if EVERY GUY cheats when in a relationship? If you have such a low opinion of men, then why bother with us?
This is so condescending it's insane!
10 Reply 784 opinions shared on Relationships topic. No its not true, I never cheated on a women and I been married. for 20 years, and in several relationships since.
Now once I define the relationship with a women and agree to be in a committed relationship. But if we have only been on a few dates and are not at a piont that we are defining our relationship.
I mean I have gone out on multiple dates with different women within days apart. But thats dating, once I am in a relationship I never cheat or entertain other wimen.
With that said, I have been disappointed by other women. When you think its building into something and they won't commit and they are seeing other guys. So yeah you got to expect it to happen... but you still got to get out there and into the game.

i hate to fall for someone to reliased they r not worthy it. It takes time to knw ppls true personality n imagine its the one u dont like n u r already in. Thats what scare me the most. But hearing from men like u n how loyal u hv been to ur partners its really comforting cuz believe just a day ago i was completely sure all men will cheat whn opportunity comes or without it cuz so far thats all i hv seen n hear all my life.

Well definitely not all men for sure, but lots of men and women do cheat... takes time and a lot of effort to find the right person. My exwife cheated on me more than once, but I definitely don't think all women are cheaters, and definitely would not let that stop me from finding true happiness.
2K opinions shared on Relationships topic. No. That's no more true for men than for women.
I always had one girlfriend at a time. I never cheated. I think cheating is as dishonest as stealing. It's despicable. It shows greed, self- absorption, and an inability to empathize with others.
I've been married for over 25 years and look forward to spending the rest of my days with my wife. We're both loyal and trust each other completely.
I'm not alone in my ethical beliefs.21 ReplyIt sounds like you have been hurt badly by someone who cheated. The answer is no not every guy cheats. Even when presented with the opportunity. Honestly there is no full proof plan to choose someone who won't cheat. What I would advise is to have open communication with your SO. My wife and I tell each other everything even our fantasies, if someone is flirting with us. Or if we ended up in a compromising position. (Me both times and not by my choice) but we both trust each other immensely because of this. We also let each other know if we are uncomfortable with a situation. We take each others feelings in to account. So yes it can be risky and hard at times. The key is communication.
10 ReplyThat is not true, because I have been in love before and at the moment, I was willing to spend my life with the lady that I want (we were friends with benefit) and I honestly was loyal to her but she wasn't ready for marriage and didn't want to be in relationship. Now, I am engaged because I did it right and I am in love; that is not going to change. Take time to get to know who you're dating, make sure to analyze and improve on yourself, use wisdom, and you will know the One for you.

+1 yStatistically the majority of men cheat OR would be willing to cheat given the opportunity.
It comes down to opportunity of the man. An obese broke nerd has little opportunity so he may be faithful but he most likely would not be faithful if he woke up a rich adonis with game.
Women as a whole are willing to look past this. Personally I've had no issues and never had to be faithful to a woman, so i hadn't. Never really been single too much time. Most women dont give 2 shits as long as they have the commitment from someone they view as a good catch.
10 Reply I never cheated in 15 years even when my friend's sister tried to sleep with me.
I did end up getting cheated on though.

Anonymous(30-35)+1 yObviously not. The majority of men never cheat, and the difference in cheating rates between men and women is small. In fact before age 30 women cheat more than men. Men do tend to cheat more than women as they get older, but not by much. Before age 50 the difference between men and women is only 3%. But even by age 70, the percentage of men who have never cheated is 74%.
I know it sucks being cheated on. It happened to me twice with two different girlfriends. But I'm not ignorant or childish enough to say most women cheat, because they don't nor do most men.

I think that all depends how the person is raised, I believe not many people speak of these type of things to their children at some point in life so they never really see how effective it can be, and of course selfishness plays a part as well, or maybe loyalty just runs in the DNA of some people and not others

That dna surely is rare, about 99% of men will cheat, even science support this crap, they say men are built different that us, even bfr the kings could hv more thn one wife n it was ok for some reason I don't know, I always belived cheating is choice, cuz even if men are easily swayed my women physique n charms, it is still their choice to cheat. I find it hard to trust a guy anymore but talking this out here n finding men like u gives me hope that maybe not all r like that
- +1 y
Yea they exist, they are just hard to find cause there's no form of physical way of them to stand out in a crowd but don't give up, I'm sure you'll find someone and I really hope more people start thinking of others and start changing their mindset and taking commitment a lot more serious, I don't know anything about no DNA or 99% but all I know is at the end of the day only I'm able to make my own decisions, so there's really no excuse for anyone else, you are either loyal or you aren't
Anonymous(45 Plus)+1 yNope it's all in the type of guy you choose. Those women would have you believe all men are like that. Simply because they don't want accept responsibility for their inability to choose loyal men.

All my female friends, those who r married an those who r not, family too. Even my acquaintances.. all of them not even one had a loyal man.
But they forgive them despite knwing but they keep saying all men are like this so if i leave him to find another, who is gonna be same or even worse than him thn i will change men like clothes.
So they all say dont thk a man will just be with u, they will eventually cheat n its good that u knw now thn getting hurt later thinking he was different.
So thinking that i will be that lucky to get a good guy is less likely
