Why put all the blame on men? im sure some kind of statistics show that just as much women do. Think about all the people right now that are cheating on their loved 1s but just not getting caught.

because...they r men..wat do u expect...

[Eapplegate]

I cant stand people who blame 'men' or 'women' for something im a guy but its VERY ANNOYING when it feels like everyone here is assuming ALL MEN CHEAT. Stupid Title

in every single relationship I have ever had I have been cheated on except the one now with my husband.
and they always cheated with girls uglier than me...
so I really dont know what they were thinking.
they told me I wanted to "do the dirty" too much and then they start sleeping with some 500 lb chick that looks like a dude.
So I really could not tell you why they are idiots and cheat.
I mean im not exactly ugly hahaha

Sounds like something off Jerry Springer. The few times i've seen that show there's always a dude who cheated on his smoking hot girlfriend with some fat cow.

I don't like how it's always the oddballs like that who get publicity. It's not representative of or vastly normal society.  The media makes it seem as though there are a lot more freaks, psychos, and murderers than there are regular everyday joes.

Men aren't the only ones that cheat.  Women cheat just as much, but when your man cheats on you it hurts your heart and soul very much.  Most will not own up to cheating even after they have been caught and you have the proof.  Basically they are stupid and doesn't understand that no matter how much explaining they do, you will not trust them 100% anymore.

SEX

men and women both cheat and for a similar reason: to get what they are not already getting in their relationship. while that is usually sex, it can also be that they feel unappreciated, taken for granted, or the relationship has grown stale/lost its spark. a very popular therapist says that getting married can sometimes be the beginning of the end of a relationship because one or both people may change their behavior based on the new status of the relationship. example: in the dating stage, you try to impress your mate, you behave in ways to make and keep them interested and there is a spark, usually of a sexual nature. but for many people once they get married, those behaviors change. they feel they no longer have to impress/interest their partner because they already "got" them. and this is all made more difficult when you factor in jobs and kids to deal with. so this therapist says that every wife should be her husband's girlfriend, and every husband should be his wife's boyfriend, basically meaning don't let the ring on the finger change the way you act with each other.

also, a quite popular facebook group has the idea right: "if you don't make your man a sandwich, another girl will"

Same reason women do: childish vanity and a sense of entitlement.

[bigedshult]

it take two too cheat so don't blame only men for cheating the women have two do it.

[lynnc35]

Because they don't think it will hurt anything. They think they can get away with it. but this works both ways, woman are just as scandalous, you might not think it, but it takes two to tango.

To all women who have been wronged by unfaithful men, I'm sorry.
Same goes to men who fall victim to cheating women.

There are men and women out there who are cheaters, and there are men and women out there who are nieve, gulleable, and silly.  If you are with someone that cheats on you, think about this, was that person Really that in to you to begin with, and if they were that in to you, were they in love with you, or were they in love with "the idea" of you?? During the relationship, how many times did both of you actually come together to be genuinely excited about the same subject, idea, or situation in your lives? Did you only think of yourself and your priorities in life when they cheated on you?

 Men and women become uninterested, unfortunatelly that's just how humans work. Being with someone for the long term requires that you look way down into that little heart of yours and confirm that both of you plan to be together, and that you not only love eachother, you have empathy for eachother as well. You can't just say that you love someone, and assume that you will be together forever and that's it. You both have to want to make things interesting and keep things going. You both have to know that each one is important in the relationship and one cannot exist without the other. If one or more of you give up the empathy factor ie-understanding and caring about what needs to happen to be together, then what is the point?

You can sit around, and pout all you want when someone breaks up with you or cheats on you.  The bottom line is, there are signs when a relationship is not working, and some people just flat out refuse to see it or take action to save the relationship.  Subcontiously, one might ignore the signs, because deep down, they know that person has moved on, but on the surface, its always business as usual-untill the break up comes.  Then the world comes to an end. So you really cant point fingers untill you look at your "perfect" self first!!

Not all men cheat.  Women cheat as well.  When I first started dating my bf we both laid down rules that we would not tolerate eachother cheating. 

Really?... you can do that in a relationship
