Cheating Men

I get the impression that you all are implying that a man's cheating is somehow different than if a woman cheats.

I think somewhere in your argument there is a double standard.

sigmadiva, you've got me all wrong. I apologize if I sounded like cheating men are different. Actually I think it's all wrong rather a woman does it or a man. I was just saying that women didn't do it as much years and years ago, and if they did they did a really good job hiding it. A lot of men have always done it and are still doing it. I think women are now starting to do it as much as men if not more. That's what I mean when I say women are jumping on the band wagon. But I agree with you, it's wrong rather someone is in a marriage or a relationship.

This is what I am asking: If men have always "done it", meaning cheating, then who were these men cheating with - other men, or other women?

If we (the general we) are going to *assume* that in the history of men cheating (married or not) that the "other woman" is involved, then I assure you the other woman is cheating also, if no one else, then at least herself.

In order for a person to cheat in a relationship, then there must be a third party - male or female.

I don't think it is so much that women are just now 'jumping on the band wagon', I think that because women have gained financial independence from men, then we can 'afford' to be more open with our cheating now than in the past.

These are men cheating with other women.

I agree. Not only is it more in the open, but women are flat out doing it as much as men if not more, because of more financial independence. This is what I meant by jumping on the band wagon.
