Hey guys, have you ever noticed how society seems to give women a pass when it comes to cheating on their husbands? It's time for us men to stop being biased and start supporting each other! Let's stop treating infidelity differently based on gender.

In the last week, there was someone posting a study/survey of how more people are more lenient toward the woman cheating, than the man. Including other men, who while still having a 'minority' of the numbers, shows that less men had issue with the woman cheating, than when the man cheats.

I can only wish that people looked at it objectively/fairly/equally, but that pretty much isn't the case. All cheating should be reprehensibly 'bad', regardless of who/which gender does it. But that also, similarly, isn't going to be the case, based on that other post.

I always think of how folks claim that “the Lass cheated, because it’s the Man’s fault,” which exemplifies Hypergamy perfectly.

I’ve never seen a person say, “well, He cheated on his Wife, but it’s her fault.”

Damn the most interesting thing for me out of this data is probably that black men/women had almost same results.

I have seen it before but I didn't notice it the first time.

There's something called "Women are wonderful effect" can that be changed? I doubt it.

Everyone has been cheated on at some point. It sucks, but you move on. The problem is modern marriage laws.

-Don't get married, and cheating is a small bump in the road.

-Get married and a cheating partner will, at best, fuck you over for several years. At worst fuck you for life.

The veil has been removed and you see how society (women) view fidelity in the context of marriage. Adjust accordingly.

Being the boyfriend/husband is second/last place in "modern" society. Being the lover/fwb/casual gives you a perspective many don't get and you will never want to commit to any western woman ever again!

When a man cheats, he's a no-good S.O.B. When a woman cheats, it's because of her "no-good S.O.B." husband. I wonder though, if lesbians cheat on each other, how do they determine who is the "no-good S.O.B?

Minute_Ad_1494 · 2023-04-15T13:09:56+00:00

So Hispanic women are the most likely to view gender differently, black women are the least, and white women are in the middle?

Is it because Latin American countries have more traditional cultures?

Minute_Ad_1494 · 2023-04-15T13:15:55+00:00

I also find it interesting that educated women are more likely to excuse cheating, but they seem to treat the genders more equally.

matrixislife · 2023-04-15T16:48:53+00:00

Is there a study asking men the same question? It seems pretty obvious that women will say men being unfaithful is worse.

While you're undoubtedly correct in your conclusion, having only half the story in stats makes it easy to dismiss.

MononMysticBuddha · 2023-04-15T20:36:02+00:00

Infidelity is infidelity. I don't care who's doing it. The results are the same. Especially when children are involved. Nobody should get a free pass.

ElectronicBoss2845 · 2023-04-15T12:51:18+00:00

Most women will cheat on their husbands. It’s because they mostly take husbands on momentary emotions or thinking they won’t find what they ideally want and settle for less than they think they deserve. When they see something new and who they perceive better they will cheat.

I’d say just don’t get married. If you do you are making a risky decision.

Why would you get into a contract that gives away all male rights and makes someone else a entitled to your hard work? Seems silly especially if you are worried about infidelity as well.

Why try and limit yourself or anyone to just one person the rest of their life? 50 plus years is a long time to only be with one person without being boring.

adam-l · 2023-04-15T18:04:23+00:00

Of course it's different. We men can't be pregnant and burden our partner with a child that's not hers. She can. So, it's different. Female infidelity is more severe.

Obnoxiousjimmyjames · 2023-04-15T23:47:05+00:00

It’s NOT about sex.

It’s about trust. You’re violating a “person who cares a great deal about you”’s trust and will damage it permanently all because of a selfish moment.
Says more about the cheater than the person being cheated on.

Woman who cheats = piece of shit

Man who cheats = piece of shit

Hypocrites fuck off

Punder_man · 2023-04-15T15:36:36+00:00

I mean.. a further example of this was multiple articles a few years ago which were along the lines of "Give your woman partner what she really wants for Christmas; A cheat pass"

Yeah.. that's right.. you had people advocating for giving women a guilt free 'pass' to cheat on their partners..

And of course this 'brilliant' idea only applied to women... no where did the article suggest that giving men a cheat pass at all..

Run_By_Snowflakes · 2023-04-15T22:00:51+00:00

It's not just cheating. Women are bailed out of every bad decision they make - everywhere.

Saucerful · 2023-04-15T22:22:07+00:00

based black women.

that's where it's at, fellas

Technical-Ad-3849 · 2023-04-15T12:15:07+00:00

Based on these numbers, the majority of the population believes it’s always wrong for a woman to have an affair. How is that a pass?

Laurely4u · 2023-04-15T18:55:03+00:00

I wish I could retroactively share your comment with King Henry XIII

MichaelRah · 2023-04-15T23:31:34+00:00

No, I've never noticed that, but I am in my early 40s so maybe it's a little kid thing that early 20 year old kids are experiencing? Can't imagine anyone I've met in my whole life approving of cheating but only from the Wife's end. Maybe the study is outside of the USA? Perhaps taken from some ultra poor shack based country where somehow marriage is not established?

cjgager · 2023-04-15T14:44:49+00:00

think you need a better graphic - but anyway - the statistics listed here doesn't account of religious belief since this is where most people learn about "morals" - so being a male or female in the graphic really doesn't explain your contention very well.
also - if you think about it, it's kind of natural that females would be seen as less "immoral" merely because of the limitation (usually) of having children. men can basically whore around all they want & walk away - everyone knows this. women are not so lucky if they get pregnant.
infidelity - lack of trust - betrayal to a loved one - is bad/terrible whoever does it - but your graphic/data example is still not very good. imo

Frostodian · 2023-04-15T21:52:20+00:00

It's you who would give your other half a pass not society

Vadersballhair · 2023-04-16T01:07:56+00:00

Serious question:

Do you guys honestly expect to hold women as accountable as you hold men?

If my wife cheated on me, it would be partially my fault - to me.

I would leave her instantly, but there would be things I'd do differently with the next woman, because I'm responsible for the results in my life.

LarsBohenan · 2023-04-16T02:39:54+00:00

If everyone could fuck the person of their dreams tomorrow everyone in a relationship right now would be periodically forgotten about. Lets get real. Anyone getting worked up over cheating today is a fool, and probably getting cheated on.

excut · 2023-04-15T18:07:39+00:00

Am I interpreting the data right? Do less than half of post-graduate women find it morally wrong for a married woman to have an affair?

Opposite-Bullfrog-57 · 2023-04-16T05:36:06+00:00

Don't get married.

Stop getting married.

If you know that marriage law is unfair then don't.

There is no way to reform this.
