  • This is a hard question because stereotypically, men do. But in reality it’s a very different story. The thing is that women blame men for their own cheating more often, so people think he just didn’t make enough time for her or whatever or that she just fell out of love. And many times this is just a way to minimize the criticism coming her way.


    On the other hand, men who cheat on their partners are definitely not in love with them in the first place, so they either fell out of love or they never loved them. If you are a normal decent person, you can’t cheat on someone you love. That’s like saying, “I’m marrying you but we need to live far apart.” That makes no sense.


    I think it highly depends on the individual and it’d be biased and possibly even dangerous to classify cheating this way. I’ve seen a lot (and i mean a LOT) of girls who just need to fuck another guy for fun and her boyfriend never finds out.


    My best friend is one of them by the way. I remember 3-4 years ago she cheated on her then boyfriend and sadly he never found out at all. And she did love him, a lot. But she still cheated. Makes no sense but she did. And I felt bad for not telling him but she’s my best friend.

    • I meant— she did “love” him, a lot.

    • navyrobin you state that she loved him yet before in your post you state a decent person can't cheat on someone they love. I'm only asking in regard to those subjects. That would mean your best friend is not decent & she did not love him. This is just confusing

    • @RyRy1490 Which is why I placed the word LOVE in quotes. She “loved” him, meaning she didn’t actually—it wasn’t real love. Get it?

  • 95% of the people (real accounts, not robots) on the infidelity website Ashley Madison were shown to be male, so...

    • Source?

    • That's just one site. What about everyone that cheats that were not on that site?

    • @Unit1 qz.com/.../
      "men were disproportionately more active on the site than women. The site’s male-female ratio was five-to-one. In addition, more than 70,000 of the site’s female users were allegedly fembots... While over 20 million male customers had checked their inboxes at least once, only 1,492 women had."

  • That's a hard one to answer, because I think the *type of pleasure* they each get from cheating is different. For men who cheat it seems to be mostly pursuit of "novelty", along with the pleasure of a hot (usually younger) woman finding him attractive enough to wanna fuck him. For women who cheat the pleasure seems to come more from the emotional cocktail they get from "giving in" to the advances of a man who's not her boyfriend. In either case, though, this pleasure must be short-lived, because the very act that gives them pleasure ultimately causes pain to both the cheater, and the partner being cheated on.

  • We know plenty of men have cheated for pleasure, no doubt. But lots of women are also cheating for pleasure a lot more than they admit. The safe answer they give is that their gender largely cheats for emotional reasons, when that really is quite a load of bullshit. A large consensus of women are cheating because they don't feel sexually satisfied with their own guy, or because they wonder how good it can feel with another guy they think is attractive.

  • I would say that cheating for PLEASURE is more likely to be men, because when women cheat, it's far more likely to be for attention, for status, or for "revenge" (at least, she sees it that way) rather than strictly for pleasure.

  • Cheaters do... For their own pleasure noone else's...

    • Nailed it

    • @AlexDeLarge thanks 🙂

  • Short answer: whomever is more frustrated with his or her partner, in life and in the bedroom!

  • Thats a good one. Hmmm i think men cheat more for physical pleasure and women cheat more for emotional pleasure

    • I agree.

  • Men way more!!

  • Neither. I think both cheat for different reasons but pleasure isn't one of them (because if it was purely pleasure, they could just have sex with their partner and stimulate the same nerve endings and get the same result).

  • 'Trick' question... NO ONE cheats BY THEMSELF.
    ALWAYS at LEAST one... of EACH gender!

  • Men.

    Women are more prone to some form of emotional attachment. Men don't require that.

    But then I'm speaking from the fact I quit a recent job because the boss, who is married, more or less propositioned me in a way that pretty much said he had no respect for me (or his woman) just wanted sex.

  • In my experience with girlfriends and some of the lgbt community, I’d have to say men.

  • Depends on the person but from what I remember on a study women have shared that they cheated more often because they were no longer in love with there partner and wanted sexual thrill while studies showed that men cheated more often because they wanted to feel intimacy again while still loving their partner. I dont condone cheating what so ever and if you feel either then you should be adults and talk about it but that's just what i remember

  • Both. The idea that women only cheat for emotional reasons is complete bullshit.

    It's a way to say that women cheating isn't that bad because it probably has a lot to do with the guy being neglectful or something, but good guys get cheated on all the time despite not doing that.

    It also comes from the old idea that women have sex only in exchange for love and affection. If that were the case women would never have casual sex, one night stands etc. Which many women today willingly do. The other myth there being that women only ever have casual sex because they've been lied to, for the same reason I just mentioned.

  • No idea. 🤷‍♀️

  • wemon do.

    wemon its easyer for them to snare a man,
    and if they dont like the guy they are fucking they can always find a new one,

    for men, we tend to stay loyal to the one, for its much harder to get one. unless you pay for it

  • Men usually cheat for pleasure cause they can do it while still being in love with their girlfriends. Women on the other hand tend to only cheat when they fall out of love with their SO.

  • For pleasure? What other reasons would there be? Like, you didn't want to have a side chick but your boss made you?

  • That's a tough one... I'd think men simply because we are attracted more by the body. But both get equally bored... It's tough...
    I'm still gonna lean on guys but I will be genuinely interested to see how many simply vote for the I
    Opposite gender

    • Oops... I thought there was a poll 😂

  • Both sexes cheat for pleasure in different forms. Physical pleasure. Emotional pleasure. Cheating is cheating. Stop the sex wars.


    Statistically both sexes are close to the percentage of cheaters. 57% of men admit to cheating at some point in their lives. 54% of women overall admit to cheating within relationships.


    A better question would be- why do we cheat and is their a way to lower the infidelity statistics across the board?

  • Men, men don't hook up with useless partners, women do if that means getting what they are looking for.

  • Both

  • It’s equal, unless you imagine that married men cheat with single women more than married women cheat with single men.
