A majority of the men who have enough status to cheat do, in fact, cheat. But it's a relatively small percentage of men who have status. Let's look at what status looks like.
Men with REALLY good looks have status, especially if they are tall. This is less than 1% of men. But very wealthy men also have status, and their looks aren't that important. That's maybe another 1.5% of men.
Then you have what I call "local status". This is a guy who has status only in a local area. He's got some kind of power or connection in an area - maybe his parents own a local bar so he gets free booze or can get people in for free when bands play. Maybe he has a boat and can take people out on the water. Maybe he's the local football hero. Maybe he's the head of a local gang, or a senior lieutenant. Whatever it is, his status is only in effect in that area. This is maybe another 2% of men.
Finally, you have the narcissistic men. They tend to be successful in their careers, but only because they have no problem crushing their coworkers or stealing credit, and because they are super confident. Many women find them attractive even though it's obvious that they are not good guys. This is the Charlie Harper (Two And A Half Men) type. That's another 1%.
So, this is 6-7%, give or take, of men. It seems like a much larger percentage to most women but that's only because women tend to completely ignore men who aren't over the 80% line, so they only ever consider 20% of men at most.
Most of these men cheat because they can. Some few don't - they were raised with strong morals and values and even though they are aware of their opportunities, they don't exercise them. They are definitely the exception to the rule.
You can usually find out a man's history in a very short time. If he's been with a bunch of women (triple digits by his 21st birthday, let's say), then you know he's never going to be faithful. He's much too used to banging whoever he wants whenever he wants, and that's not going to change for any woman.
The problem with women is that 85% of women have plenty of opportunities to sleep around. And while this doesn't mean that most of those opportunities are with the top 5% guys they want - and it certainly doesn't mean that a relationship is part of the deal, women still have nearly endless opportunities. And maybe 60% of women CAN sleep with the top 5% men - but it's not going to be more than casual sex.
It's honestly cute that You put it that way... Or it would be if the topic was not this serious.
Now... I'd say the math seems to be mathing. Since women are prone to hypergamy, they will only cheat with men who are more attractive than their current partner, which makes them cheat less (not that it matters in the end, cheating is cheating - and I, as well as an increasing number of men, will not settle for it). On the other hand, most men are not considered attractive enough to cheat with by the women, but those who are (this top 1-5% of attractiveness, also known as Alpha males) have a much wider variety, enabling them to cheat more. This equals out to equal numbers of cheating cases for both men and women (kind of obvious, since You cannot cheat of You do not have a "partner" to cheat with).
This paints a rather grim picture, since while both cheating men and cheating women belong in the woodchipper (feet-first), applying this rule would rid the Earth of most women, while also ridding it of only a small batch of the men, severely lopsiding the global demographics. It kind of explains why non-lethal violence used to be acceptable against cheaters, with Islam-style stoning only allowed in particularly difficult cases.
My aim on GAG is to decode relationship drama and keep your heart away from red flags and heartbreaks 😏
That take is super skewed. Cheating isnât a âwomen cheat a little, top men cheat a lotâ thing. Itâs about opportunity, values, boundaries, and emotional maturity. Some people lovebomb, get bored, then cheat. Some never cheat at all. Both genders can cheat a little, a lot, or never. Anyone saying otherwise is coping, not analyzing.

It comes down to someoneâs integrityâŚ.. If someone has low integrity and loyalty when they get the opportunity theyâre going to jump at it. I donât care if itâs a man or woman.
So if you date shitbagsâŚ.. yeah ladies and gentlemen youâre going to be cheated on. If someone has a history of cheating no matter what the excuse. Youâre probably being cheated on. Iâm not saying someone canât change if they genuinely want to but if someoneâs still excusing and justifying their behavior chances are if they arenât already cheating itâs a matter of time.
People have little self control. When they have impulses and get the chance to act on themâŚâŚ They do it. At first they hide it some better then others but eventually they donât care anymore or become reckless. Some even want to be caught because itâs thrilling or they simply donât respect the relationship enough anymore to care.
Not true at all , even though it seems most people cheat one way or another , but the truth is , only selfish people cheat , that have no dignity or respect for anyone but themselves. Cheating is selfish act period , Itâs someone that wants their cake and wants to eat it to , whether they are happy or unhappy in their current relationship. So you canât say Men cheat more than women do , itâs actually equal over anything else. Cheating isnât just sexual itâs emotional to , whatever you can do behind your partnersâ back , makes you a cheater , flirting, lying , investing your time into someone else, over
Your partner makes you a cheater. So to be honest most people period are cheaters if you look at it that way. Me personally doesnât cheat when I am in committed relationship with a girl that treats me with love and respect , that makes me her priority the same way I do to her.
Would you please cite the source of your statistics.
I've known more women that cheat than men.
Could it be that the reason a man doesn't cheat is not because no woman wants him, it's because he believes in loyalty, respect and commitment?
Well I'm not going to point the finger or even acknowledge a percentage I have one person to worry about and that's me everybody else can do what they want to do if that's who they are
u I think the whole question is based on stereotypes, but aside from that. . . why would the small group of men who cheat me the "top" percent? Aren't they the smelly underbelly of the gender, the basement dwelling dregs?
Why? Dissatisfaction with sex with your spouse, male getting his and leaving female unfinished. Let me shoot from a different angle. (Pun acceptable). The crime scene occurs near the Peach tree, where a nude couple is doing what their Creator told them to do, Eve says to Adam" Baby not so deep, back out just a little bit " I want to see if we can do that again". Adam says to Eve."Why don't these thing line up like they should"? Eve says to Adam " Don't Stop"! and just as Eve is about to reach the summit that she is hoping for, the snake says" y'all need to get a room" Coitus interruptus. Damn. Our Creator did not expect us to get married. Nudity and Sex was his purpose. Remember the concept of Marriage occurred after we were expelled from the Garden. Thou shalt not commit adultery, occurred after our expulsion, our DNA was designed to do God's will. Mankind has used the story to instill control through shame. 180 degrees.
Thought. Should all churches have coat hooks in the narthex for the congregation to hang their clothes before entering the house of God. Should the congregation enter into His presence wearing clothes which were instituted by the snake. Confusing, ain't it?
Ok letâs look at it from a numbers perspective. An overwhelmingly large amount of the male population has never been w a woman, canât say the same for a woman. As a woman even if she isnât that good looking can still find a man if sheâs willing to take whatever man regardless of his looks. But men on the other hand, as ugly as he may be w a girl who is equally as ugly as him, she wonât want him. Women have more options than men. I think a lot of women think that a lot of men cheat when in reality itâs that top 10% of men that are cheating on all these women that are chasing that top 10%. No Iâm not going to say men who arenât in that too % donât cheat, I just donât think the numbers are as high as people think they are outside of that 10%. I think too women are better at hiding their infidelity so we wonât ever really know the true numbers.
In modern times, you are correct. About half of the young men are virgins.

Absolutely, itâs crazy. A lot of men too are just choosing not to get into relationships because they think itâs not worth it.
That too. But no a lot not men donât want to get into relationships because again to them itâs not worth it.
Cheaters have specific type of personality. Even as your friend they will try to overstep your redlines permanently and they love drama in their relationships. Boys always think they are more stic and emotionally stable but they are same spoiled brats inside like lot of girls. There is specific type of cheater I "like" at most. The one who cheats because their relationship is too good. They are practically people who feel a desire to destroy something if it runs without problems. They create problems when there are any.
Women cheat way more the stats show because most social statistics are anecdotal and if you ask a woman if cheated she will set the bar in a weird place to say no
For instance many women consider cheating to be an emotional affair
Meaning if she fucks a guy while on a girls trip but never catch feelings in her mind itâs ok
In reality it isnât
As for men: itâs true that most men canât cheat because no one else wants them but itâs not 5%
Itâs closer to 25%
Plus when a man is taken his attractiveness rises in the minds of women
So the number is likely bigger
The only counter balance would be good morals
Basically if you chose a partner with clear integrity you wonât wonder where they sleep when youâre away on business
If you chose a partner out of surface level lust cheating is highly likely
On both sides
There are some men in the top tier who have principles when it comes to cheating, but overall this is generally true, many men want to be with multiple partners, and when the opportunity arises, a lot of them take it.
😂 As for the other group, most of those men have to play the role of being loyal because they donât have any other options besides the one woman theyâve managed to have in their lives.
If you think about it in evolutionary terms, it makes sense. Not long ago, in the Stone Age, and we still have our Stone Age brains, our male ancestors were men, the Alpha males, who impregnated the most young women. Our female ancestors mated with a dependable provider for her and her children. Then, when ovulating, she would have sneaky sex with the Alpha male, thereby giving her child a slight survival advantage. On average, children of Alpha males are slightly stronger, healthier, and more intelligent. Even a 1% per generation survival advantage is a 20,000 to 1 (1.01^1000) advantage in 1,000 generations, about 20,000 years.
I'm not sure where you're getting those numbers from, and I do not know what you mean by "the top 1% to 5% of men"? Top of what? If you're saying that only 1 to 5% of men have extra-marital or extra-relationship affairs, that number is way off on a worldwide basis.
The rate of infidelity varies significantly from country to country. For example, in the Czech Republic, 17% of married people admit to affairs, while in Thailand, 51% of married people admit to affairs. Within those numbers, men are about twice as likely to have affairs than women.
Really depends on who has a megaphone/platform also knows a group of people, and how it personally affects the victim.
A few people I grew up watching who were guys talked about getting cheated on however heard more ladies I watched talk about how they were cheated and taken advantage of.
It is stereotyped where the man who is stronger takes advantage of a woman who is weaker than men however that is why men donât talk about it since it hurts their feelings, which if they talk about or share it, it makes them feel less than a man for a woman to get away with that also name called.
I do believe it affects women more, that women are cheated on more than men.
Most guys who cheat are kinda bums.
In my limited experience, poor people cheat more. Especially guys who live on extreme ends of confidence. Meaning overly confident or the opposite.
Especially if the relationship is doing just fine on the surface.
I only know a few dozen rich people well enough to know or guess if they cheat but I can only think of 2 that I know do it and 2 others that I would suspect have.
I could be wrong but I think for the most part cheating comes from a lack of discipline, poor self image and not valuing the relationship because you don't know what your purpose is.
Rich people tend to not have those issues. From what I've been exposed to
😂😂🤯what are âthe top 1 - 5% â? Top of what?
And WTF is âcheating a littleâ ⌠is that âjust the tipâ 😂😂
Also
â most men donât cheat because women donât want them â thatâs ridiculous and , so what about escorts? Or same biological sex cheating? , past partners
This doesnât sound like valid research , this sounds like bullshit & inflammatory nonsense
All I know for sure is that both men and women cheat , beyond that I really donât care.
From the conversations I've had women cheat way more then society is aware. So no women don't cheat a little they are just better then men at hiding it.
@Kelley1 Mainstream media has turned you women in ignorant, hypocritical delusional useless idiots. It is so depressingly obvious how hard the devil worshippers behind the media demonize the superior (men) and romanticize the inferior (women) just to turn the world upside down. That is their plan. They are monsters behind the veil corrupting the humanity in every way possible.
The majority of women cheat A LOT, but it is so common that many of them don't even count some types of cheating as cheating.
FYI, any woman that is in a relationship and posts provocative/revealing pictures online IS CHEATING. Also, the majority of women are supportive of other women cheating. That is why many of them stay friends with other women that cheat, and they often even help them make up lies to hide their cheating.
The majority of women have terrible morals.
And no, men not cheating isn't due to a lack of options, it is often because of better morals and loyalty.
Also, I have worked in schools for 16 years now with mostly women co-workers. MANY of them cheat on their husbands and boyfriends, including the ones that have kids already. The majority of them I have worked with are immoral, and that is who is pushing more immorality onto the youth. It has been happening at least since the 1990s.
I have been somewhat shocked at the number of wives that have had affairs and have cheated. And generally regarded it as a fun thing to do.
One of the most egregious was a wife that went on a girls trip and got knocked up by a bouncer. A year later she decided she didn't like being a mother so she disappeared leaving her bastard daughter with her husband to raise.
To the best of my knowledge her husband still thinks he is biologically related to her daughter.
@Kelley1 I don't' know the statistics I just that as a younger man, I cheated with four married women
@Kelley1 I take that as an EXCEPTIONAL compliment. I only knew or saw the husband of two of the women I slept with. In one instance, I knew the husband well and felt that he was not a good husband. He never complimented his very attractive wife, and she had VERY nice boobs and butt, and he very commonly made comments about other women he saw and commented on their bodies.
I donât know but what I have seen on TikTok women are attracted to married men this view might be a distorted view because I donât really trust anything with TikTok other than the huge amount of scammers on there I would say my true opinion the only thing that is a huge difference between women and men is the amount of women that become pregnant versus the number of men otherwise I believe that they are more equal on such things as cheating stealing or murdering people
The only reason people cheat is because of opportunity, Odviously if they can cheat they are more likely to cheat but if they dont have that many sexual options then it is less likely.
So all those Guys you Girls don't find attractive are less likely to cheat simply because they dont get that many sexual opportunities.
Its amazing most women still have not realised this yet.
Emotionally or physically? You as a woman can have a crush on your cute coworker because he's single and nice to you but you're married... And as for physical relationship, all men desire it, whether they're taken or not.
What I'm trying to say is, you gotta sort out your system. Not act out impulsive thoughts, regardless of gender. Your other partner could be way worse
Women are looking to possibly replace their husband or boyfriend but aren't sure if it is the right decision, men are just horny.
Not necessary, I just watched about cheating within top ten countries. I found they have different attitudes to deal it. Not like Asian base on women belong to men to make tragedy.
Both men and women cheat but for different reasons. I think most men cheat for sexual gratification on the outside but are seeking things like validation on the inside.
If I was to speculate I would say most women cheat because they are seeking a more fulfilling emotional, supportive connection.
I think this lines up with my theory that all women cheat, and only men that can cheat get to cheat.
I honestly don't know thats a good question. Would you or have you ever cheated?
Please explain
My wife sometimes still has sex with her ex but was up front about that from the start
I believe more women cheat. If I ever was to date the girl wouldn't stay true
I have heard this stat go both ways so many times, who knows. Maybe people just cheat a lot period?
If you cheat a little, it's still cheating in my book. You're either in a relationship, with all the consequences, or fooling around.
Women cheat as if it moral and normal. So no. Women cheat a lot and they come up with any kind of excuses they can. Spoiled and indoctrinated by media.
No. Not true.
Both cheat statistically a lot.
Yeah. But both sides of men come to the same conclusion. That most women are straight up trash. One side just keeps putting his dick in it.
Sounds plausible, but I don't know for certain.
Almost all women cheat to some extent or another.
Men cheat more than women , but women are trying to be men and work , so they are becoming more like men and increasing.
Who cares cheating is cheating, once the line is cross it's all the same, you are a cheater
A cheater is a cheater, maybe men cheats more because they focus more on sex and physical features...
There is no cheating a little. If you fuck around then that's that.
Boy I'm glad I'm not part of the younger generations.
Iâm not sure are you a cheater?
m it's stupidity
Women are so much more unfaithful if you ask me
Women are the most unfaithful in my opinion
Statistics support this
That sounds about right
Make sense to me by my experiences.
NoâŚ.
I would doubt "all" do.
Shouldn't it be the other way around?
Yes its true
Both cheat
True I think
Nope.
Its ok
I hope not.
