It’s really a mixture of both I would say many women feel that men are many men feel women are. That’s just because most people have experience with the opposite sex in romantic relationships more than their own.

The tactics may be different (there are exceptions) but overall both can be incredibly deceptive and cruel especially when it comes to romantic relationships. Not everyone is able to make a genuine connection with another human being. Those people who are seeking sex, seeking money, other material things, social status, attention, and the whole list of things goes on, some even power as well as control over another human being.

But a lot of people cannot get those things being honest about it. Maybe some are honest and I respect them by far more then someone whose a liar. But they have to pretend to be someone they’re not and some are better then others.

There are overt narcissists but at the same time there is a lot who are covet. There are things to watch out for such as someone being too agreeable. Seeing what you want and then pretending to be that person. Many people can pretend to be really whoever they need to be to cause someone to fall for their front. But that’s all it really is and who they are on the inside will show especially because it’s hard to fake being a certain person when you’re around them all the time. You can put a act on for a number of dates. But rushing marriage or drawing out marriage for too long are major red flags.

Generally I'd say whoever is confronted with tempting opportunities more often. Sad but true.

Both men and women can be deceptive, and anyone saying it is one or the other is delusional and probably deceptive themselves.

I think it’s equal to both sexes , it just comes down to that individual persons’ choices and decisions , on what they choose to do , in my opinion , I think everyone cheats one way or another , cheating isn’t just physical actions , it can be emotional actions as well. Something that might be innocent to you , might not be innocent to your partner. Flirting and investing your time into someone other than your partner, can be considered cheating , anything that you can keep secret from your partner is considered cheating , if you really want to get down to the bottom of it. Some people think flirting is ok and some people think it’s ok to like and comment the opposite sex pictures on the internet , but if your partner doesn’t know you are doing that behind their back, then they can assume you are a cheater if they find out the truth that you are doing so , I dated girls’ that went ballistic on me when she saw that I was talking to another girl on the internet and immediately said Who’s that Bitch , Are you cheating on me? Or Why did that Girl smile and wave at
You? Is that one of your whores? Automatically assuming I am cheating on her. So I just say Yes , you caught me red handed , I am a cheater , I plan on having sex with you and then going to go have sex with her next , cuz I am such a pimp , so many girls’ want me so I have to make time to fit you all in. If I can get you all into bed at the same time , I will feel like I hit the lottery. LOL

I don't know I've seen it from both sides and I would hope that I would never see it in my relationship when I have one because it's just it's just not needed if you're not happy get out that simple

Alexender_Williams · Answer

HighValue · Answer

Women by far, that is why many of them have cheated, got pregnant, and tricked the man into unknowingly raising a child that wasn't his. Plus plenty of them purposely keep male friends around as backup plans and lie to their boyfriend/husband about them. The majority of women can't be trusted and have terrible morals.

Anonymous · Answer

I was gonna say women, from my experience but. can't defend guys. Women a terrible people. Men are terrible people.
Conclusion. Don’t get together with terrible people.

You got to outsmart them like I did with my ex. Don’t let there manipulation get to you. And over time they will prove themselves to be either good or bad. My ex was good. A bit too good, I just didn’t trust her. Gut feeling. Something was off. They way she lovebombed me. Turned out that she was a liar and disrespectful person.

slatyb · Answer

Like most things, it's about equal. The only big difference is that men are far more prone to violence.

worldscolide · Answer

It kind of balances out 50/50. On that same token, women are more likely to get away with deception than men are, most men aren't that good at lying lol.

BadApple69 · Answer

Both. Everyone keeps secrets. Everyone lies from time to time.

LaurenM1997 · Answer

I’d say both men and woman they are just as bad as each other for doing it back to them

Peggee4U · Answer

Observation from life experience tells me its about 50% to 50%

spartan55 · Answer

I don't believe one cheats more than the other. But I do think it's very apparent women get more opportunities to cheat.

Anonymous · Answer

I'd say this is a person thing, not a gender thing. But I will say lying comes more naturally to women. Guys have to learn to lie. While lying is encoded in a woman's DNA.

KrakenAttackin · Answer

Women by 100x. Women have so much sexual pressure via social media, DM's, sneaky links, etc, that women far outpace men in cheating.

Graptemys79 · Answer

You can't generalize with these things. It depends on individuals, not their sex.

LiamJHayden · Answer

In most things fairly equal, but only women can really commit paternity fraud.

serious_miss419 · Answer

Women and Men can’t be compared. They’re too different and they’ll never agree.

Ladsin2 · Answer

Women. Everything about them is based on deception. Fake height, fake eyelashes, fake complexion, fake hair, fake personality, etc.
Men can pretend to have finances they don't have, but that's pretty much it.
