Why does it seem like it's mostly women cheating these days?

Discussion posts must be neutral

That's because reddit is majority male. If you went on tumblr which is majority female it would be a different story.

Go on any cheating sub and it's mostly guys saying their girls cheated.

First of all Reddit is majority male so that probably isn't helping.

I know plenty of women who have been cheated or branch swung on irl, they make passive aggressive tweets and bikini pics over it, not complaining about it here.

Confirmation bias.

A person's moral compass has nothing to do with the number of options.

Attraction is one thing, actively choosing to cheat is another thing entirely.

You can try going on subs for cheaters and count people by gender to compare

Most women don't use Reddit in general, and if they do, they don't often reveal their gender or show their face due to fear of being harassed.

When I was openly female on Reddit, I was treated like shit. I was made fun of for not being sexually attractive and would get creepy DMs saying that I look like a "sub".

I very much prefer people assuming me to be male now. I was cheated on, but I only ever share my experiences with other women because most men on Reddit will blame me for it happening even though I was just 14.

Reddit in general has more men than women (it's significant, something like 2/3 men and 1/3 women) and biases young. People are more likely to post about being cheated on than cheating, and people are less likely to upvote cheaters than people who were victims of cheating. If men and women cheat at roughly the same rates, you would expect to see a lot more stories on Reddit (across all subs) about women cheating than men cheating. It does not shock me that Reddit has more guys complaining about cheating girlfriends/wives than ladies complaining about cheating boyfriends/husbands, and I don't think there's any deeper meaning to that than the overall demographics of Reddit.

If you look at surveys that are more representative, men cheat more overall, and the 18-29 age group is the only age group where women cheat at roughly the same rate as men. There's no need to explore all the possible ways you think women have been poisoned for fidelity when your basic premise (that women cheat a lot more than men) is false.

that's why I would never marry without making sure other person finds me hot, otherwise i would feel threatened by every chad few km away.

I usually read r/relationship_advice and I think is fairly balanced. Women fought and won the "equality" "war" so they now do the same than men. It's not like all men were cheaters before it's just they are catching up to men lowest behaviors in a very loud way since their bad behaviors are rewarded by men.
