Women Cheat Because Men Do Everything Wrong

Bayou_Blue · 2010-07-24T03:42:08+00:00

I have never cheated on my wife because I love her. She has never cheated on me. Most cheaters seem to come up with some excuse which usually blames the party they've wronged.

The final three sentences are great:

And you don’t get to hold up your uterus as some magical beacon of goodness. Because that’s as shitty, reductive, and sexist as everything else we feminists have been fighting. A’ight? Rant over.

I have seen eye-wateringly immoral behaviour amongst female friends. One cheated on her fiance (whom she had pressured into proposing) while on holiday. Another started an affair with her flatmate after deciding to move in with her boyfriend but before she actually did so. She still moved in with the boyfriend. Neither visibly display any guilt when discussing it.

Cheating is a natural and powerful urge for men and women. There are 2 differences but neither have anything to do with morality. Firstly, in nature, men could realistically father about 300 children per year. Women could realistically bear 1 per year.

Secondly women go for quality over quantity when cheating. A woman is a lot more likely to turn down a sexual advance from a vagrant but just as likely to accept one from a movie star.

I always thought that women cheat for the same reason men do: because they think they can get away with it.

Cheating generally requires two people in which both have some unresolved issues. Let's stop putting all the blame on the man.

Honestly, it's a matter of respect for a fellow human being. I think cheating is completely wrong and I would never do it to my present girlfriend. I would always make a decision one way or another who I want to take my chances with and when I hear about or see people cheating I lose a lot of respect for them. They are disrespectful and untrustworthy people.

I'll probably get downvoted but did anyone read the original article, the one this one is refering to? There was nothing in there that suggested men were in the wrong or that a woman's choice to have an affair is at all reasonable. It was merely a theory that a woman's affair might have evolutionary reasons much as the many many studies that suggest the same for men. In either case affairs are wrong. We are intelligent and perfectly capable of making our own decisions. Evolution made me do it is not a valid excuse. The end of the original article actually pointed out that the many couples go to therapy before an affair happens. The more we understand about our evolutionary triggers can only be a good thing.

Actually, people cheat because we're not meant to be monogamous. Its very difficult to be monogamous for both sexes because its not natural

Which isn't to say that monogamy can't be rewarding for both genders - but it is difficult an almost constant struggle for both partners.

I read the article about the differences in cheating between men and women.

But experts say that a large majority of the time, motivations differ by gender, with men searching for more sex or attention, and women looking to fill an emotional void

That doesn't necessarily seem so different to me- although they later say that men who have cheated are more likely to feel satisfied with their marriage, women less so.

Cheating happens for lots of reasons. It's not fair to generalize them into "women feel neglect" and "men need more sex," when it's more complicated than that.

If it's believed that women who cheat are less happy with their marriages than men, it could be due to the rationalization. Men seem to be expected to cheat more, so might not feel the need to say it was because the marriage was bad. Women might be want to put more emphasis on a failing marriage to justify what they did (certainly not always, and I don't want to generalize- just trying to think about why that statistic could be true-ish).

Whatever scientific or evolutionary reason that is given for cheating doesn't change the fact that everyone has free will and chose to cheat regardless of motivation, a choice was made.

I think cheating is doing something very wrong.

I know women don't like to be cheated on.

Skeetronic · 2010-07-24T15:33:10+00:00

I'm guilty of doing everything wrong at times.... worst part about it is I don't realize it until after the fact....

fuck redirect links that you can't use the mouse's back button on

Women have inherent evolutionary bias to cheat in order to genetically diversify their progeny. This manifests as a NCU (New Cock Urge) striking all women about 4-7 years after the marriage and its consummation. They are unable to control these primitive instincts, and the whole idea of women "not being emotionally satisfied" and "having the right to be happy elsewhere" is feminist BS created to explain for this simple behavior. This is the reason why 3/4 of divorces are initiated by women, and why 10% of children are cuckolded, with women and the state strongly opposing fatherhood tests.

TheAceOfHearts · 2010-07-24T10:38:36+00:00

I can't really think up any scenario where cheating is acceptable, from either sex.

The only case CLOSE to cheating that I think shouldn't be disapproved of, is rape. And well... It's unwilling sex, so even though you're having sex with another person, it's still against your will.

However, if you're in an open relationship, then it's not cheating and that's perfectly fine.
