I think more explanation is needed.
Most men don't have, or only very rarely have, the option to cheat. A small percentage of guys have considerably more options to cheat - often several possibilities per month. And the top, most attractive guys have an AVALANCHE of options for cheating, and virtually all of that group cheats.
Why? Because women literally follow them around - alone and in groups - offering themselves to the guy. This happens every day, everywhere he goes. It's nearly impossible for a man to resist that level of temptation indefinitely, unless he grew up with the strongest possible morals, which is rarely the case.
I grew up being close friends with a guy who was in a rock band as a young kid, and got on MTV in the early 80s, and went on tours opening up for national acts. He was only really famous locally, but he was still young, good looking, and a lead singer in a band.
For him, women were EVERYWHERE and most of the girls who pursued him were willing to do anything to sleep with him. Girls often brought one or more friends, sometimes their own sisters, and there were several mother/daughter combos. Many girls were even willing to sleep with his friends if that's what it took to sleep with him.
I don't think most average women (who wouldn't do such things themselves) really appreciate the level of temptation a top guy deals with on a daily basis. It's kind of like growing up poor and hungry and then landing a (low-paying) job where you are around billions of dollars in cash, unsupervised, on a daily basis. How many such people could do that job and never steal any money?
I suppose it's largely true that nearly any man, put in that position, would eventually cheat, but the reality is that very few men, perhaps 2% or less, will be in that situation. Such men are easily avoided - but plenty of women pursue ONLY such men.
Yes, there are also men outside that demographic who cheat, but those guys cheat either due to low morals or just being selfish and self centered - traits that are also easy to avoid if you are looking to avoid them. But, again, many women are drawn to such men, because they often seem cool and powerful, until, that is, he turns his toxic traits towards her.
Anyone can be tricked by one sneaky, dishonest slime ball once, but if your last 5 boyfriends have cheated on you, the problem is that you specifically pursue cheaters, and haven't figured out that men who are universally attractive (all the women want him) will also be cheaters, and to be with a guy like that means that sharing him is part of the package.

(Most) don't have the option to cheat.
About 80% of Single Guys aren't even getting dates let alone having Sex, Just because you Girls don't notice doesn't mean that it's not true.
If I could get any Girl I liked I would Cheat aswell.
No I don't believe that. When a man actually loves a woman he would die for her literally. He worships her. (If he is infact in love) he won't even entertain another female. Same with women.
Some still won't even if they don't love you, but that's because it is beneath them and they have a moral code. It is all about human behavior and character if or when someone does or doesn't cheat. Male or female.
Men have testosterone. Having a male around… They’re 10x more likely to cheat.
Less likely to be loyal. And look they’re both shaped like a barrel.

I can’t speak for all men but a majority of men will cheat on a girl that treats him like shit and makes him feel unvalued and unappreciated , like nothing he does is good enough , when she compares him to other men and she lacks intimacy and affection he will more than likely be drawn to another girl that wants to make him feel wanted and appreciated, Most guy’s won’t cheat on a girl that makes him her top priority , that makes him feel valued and appreciated , that doesn’t hesitate to come into his arms and makes him feel she only has eyes for him , if he cheats on a girl like that then he is a complete dumb ass , Most guy’s don’t cheat for love they cheat when they feel their wants aren’t being met , A girl cheats mainly because her emotional feelings aren’t being met , and she feels her man doesn’t appreciate her and she feels she deserves better than what she already has in front of her , Most girls’ have a selfish mindset that it’s her way or no way , she will cheat on a good guy for another guy that she feels has more status then her current partner
I can honestly say, that cheating is not in me. I've had the opportunity a few times and just the thought of it made me ill. I just can't do that to someone I am with as the guilt would be too much for me to handle. I could not look into her eyes and know that I had been with someone else.
I would not only let my SO down, but I would let my daughter (whom I should be a role model for) and my parents down who taught me right from wrong. Not to mention, it would make me sink into a hole of depression.
Just as all women, if you push this one further I think we all could potentially cheat depending on the circumstances. If you were to push someone into a corner far enough and for long enough they could end up making decisions they’re not proud of. Men usually cheat because they fail to control basic urges they feel they need a certain idea of sex and their not getting it, women usually cheat because they feel neglected or needs aren’t met this however is a broad generality and some women cheat for the same reasons men cheat just like some men cheat because they feel neglected. I’ve got it stained in my mind that I would never cheat simply because that’s not the type of person I want to be, I want to be a man with principles and stick by them regardless of what someone else might say or do. Could I cheat? nothings impossible but I’m usually good at sticking to my principles. Not a comforting thought though ✌️
No way, and in my opinion the girls cheat just as much as guys. If i'm not appreciated, loved and wanted in my relationship the thought of cheating will cross my mind but i know i'm better than that and that its not my fault if the girl i'm with is treating me terribly, its hers. I'm respectful, kind, caring and loving and i expect to be treated the same. I would never cheat (and i do have plenty of opportunity to do so), if the relationship i'm in is toxic then i will break up with that person and eventually find someone better who appreciates me. Its wrong to say that girls are always guilty ones when a man cheat because that is not true, some people are simply terrible people and will cheat, girls included, they are no exception when it comes to cheating.
I wish it is just a lie but it is the truth 99% of men cheats, some is a habit n they blame their manhood, n some cheats when opportunities come. That 1% can be pretty hard to crack but not impossible but so far i haven't seen one yet but hopeful they r out there but they keep decreasing mostly due to heartbreaks so they tend to adapt to bad behaviours. Women cheats too, am not defending them but in term of majority men wins.
A faithful man who resist whatever temptation coming his way is a gem, if u hv one in ur life keep him at all cost. I hope i get thay lucky too haha.To say all men would be inaccurate. There are definitely men with options who choose to be faithful. Do I think many more men would cheat if they had the option? Yes but I think if women had more options for men who are willing to settle down without judgment, women would do the same.
Men in general are more likely to cheat than women are in hetero relationships. I mean look at gay men. I am pretty sure the highest rates of infidelity are there and the lowest is among lesbians. That said I do not think all men are cheaters whether the opportunity was there or not and obviously everyone is capable of cheating.
Pretty much. That's why just don't take them serious. Even men that don't normally get options sooner or later will and end up cheating. I just stay single and do me. But if you decide to do relationships with men I wouldn't take them seriously. Hot guy gives you an offer do what they would do and take it.
Not any more than women.
I have not cheated on anyone, however I found my exwife, we were married at the time, in bed with the landlord, and had a girlfriend that turned into an ex girlfriend for cheating.
So I would say based on my experiences that women cheat more than men, but the landlord was also married so that was kind of a push.No. I know guys that had opportunity to cheat and didn't out of loyalty to wife/girlfriend.
And then there are guys who wouldn't think of leaving their wife but still fk other women. Singer Tom Jones used to get all kind of p but was married to the same woman for like 50 years and was devastated when she died.
Every thing depends on the relationship your in.. want or want to. be In or... options, opportunity sexual maturity or lack of... possibly and quite likely on. both fronts..
Consider the answer that most satisfys you but. also look into least satisfying one. .. n now how your role in the grand scheme of things can be mutually more posited moving forwardI'm disappointed by some of these answers. Of course there are both men and women who would never cheat. I can't exactly make that claim for myself because I once had a brief relationship with a woman who already had another boyfriend... I've regretted that ever since and I will never do it again. I have total confidence that there are people who never make that mistake a first time.
On a large scale... it's very common... but I think there's enough decent men out there... no , not all men are cheaters... for example , every guy I knew... dad , brother , in laws , friends... none of them cheated on their woman ... it's like saying all women are sluts lol
To an extent, I have not cheated because I don't want to hurt my wife and even if that wasn't a factor i don't think it would be worth the trouble to deal with these stupid hoes to do so. However, if a guy could snap his fingers and have a harem like King Solomon or Genghis Khan he would definitely do it.
A program showd that 40% of men cheat n 25% of women. Anothr program said 60% of men n 40% of women.
I read that men cheat because they aren't getting sex. It also said women can cheat 4 sex but the main reason is their partner isn't giving them attention. They want someone 2 make them feel they're pretty.I work at a bar and I see drunk horny people every night I'm there. More of the women who come in with their boyfriends or husbands flirt with other guys compared to their boyfriends and husbands flirting with other women. That's because the women usually have more options than the guys do and want the attention more.
No, not all men are cheaters. About the other part you are right, some will simply not cheat for them break up is always an option and that is the best option for them but cheating is an absolute no.
Studies show the vast majority of men never cheat, and that the rate of infidelity among women is similar to the rate among men. This information is easily available.
Why does this false stereotype still persist despite the facts? Please stop doing your part to perpetuate false and harmful stereotypes.
No. There are ethical men.
Cheating is lying and going behind someone's back to do something that would hurt them. It's as selfish and unethical as stealing.
Some people have morals.I don't really want to cheat on my girlfriend. I mean the girl would need to be throwing herself at me and be much hotter than my girlfriend to tempt me, and I still probably wouldn't do it. So unless she's promising sex and a lot hotter than my girlfriend, I wouldn't even consider it.
