I read the other day that for men it's reported to be about 21%, but research said it's really about 50%, what a difference huh?? and for women it seems kind of high lately, and more women (celebs) are going for younger men, for diff reasons.. one is medical bills are sooo much cheaper.

Depends on the man.  I would say if the right opportunity arose, most men would consider "cheating" (there are, of course, many forms of "cheating").

Married men can be faithful...they can if they want to.\nWomen is the same. Women can cheat too. Both men and women can cheat. And, men and women can be faithful...only if they really want to be.

My partner and I have been together 15 -- don't know what percentages are -- just over 50% of straight marriages last 15 years, so my guess is a bit lower (no societal pressure or legal loss from separation) probably in the 40% range -- we know a couple that have been together 45.  That's the longest I know of.\n\nNot an exact answer, but i hope it helps.\n\nReynolds Jones\nSchenectady, NY\nhttp://www.rebuff.org

Most of them are cheat.

I would gues that its around 68 %. \n\nOver half the people I have met have admitted to taking illegal drugs at some point in their lives and a lot of them still do.

I have wondered this myself. I think all the morals in society have gone down the drain. I would never do that to anyone, if I decided I wanted someone else, other than my husband/bf, I would leave them rather than cheat. But if I make the marriage commitment, then that is for life. The moral situation explains the divorce rate also. I guess some people are brought up better than others.

Let me clarify . . . guys do not always cheat on their partners . . . and by asking this question . . . we know you are a sexist male basher like the heffers from the View.\n\nLook at them and look at you . . . no wonder men cheat on them and you.\n\nResearch has been done about this . . . I know I've answered similar questions . . . . \n\nLooks like everyone is going through another sexist trip . . . I've answered this question before . . . and as usual women ignore the facts . . . . so here it again.\n\nKinsey Report, published more than 50 years ago, approximately 60 per cent of men, compared to 30 per cent of women, were unfaithful to their spouses before the age of 40. \n\nAccording to Maggie Scarf, author of "Intimate Partners," first published in 1987 by Random House, "Most experts do consider the 'educated guess' that at the present time some 50 to 65 percent of husbands and 45 to 55 percent of wives become extramaritally involved by the age of 40 to be a relatively sound and reasonable one." \n\nNote that the above adultry statistics of the prevalence of affairs were made more than a decade ago; so based on changes in society during the intervening years, the current percentage of the population who have had affairs is probably somewhat HIGHER. For instance, the continuing increase of women in the workplace means that the numbers for women having affairs is probably similar to those for men—about 60%.\n\nCosmo recently conducted an online poll in 2004 of 1,000 men and 1,000 women, and 55 percent of guys and a shocking 59 percent of ladies said they have cheated on a partner. \n\nYes . . . guys cheat . . . but so do women . . . do not ignore the facts.  The question really should be . . . why do women cheat more than men . . . because the last information I've found proved . . . and it was a women's magazine poll.  You proved it yourself.

very likely, most people who cheat or are sneaky will occasionally try to project this trait onto the other partner to take away any feelings of what they are doing wrong and to make it look like you the other partner is just crazy and the one actuallly doing the wrong.

NONE, Its a crapy feeling when someone cheats on you.  Not to mention, if you really care about a person to have a commitment, then there shouldnt be anyone else.  If there is anyone else, then they shouldnt be committed.

I think women lie the most, and men cheat the most. But men cheat and lie the the most

I think I read the average is three or four times a week for couples married 10 years or more and slightly higher for the ones married less time ...how they come up with that one is beyond me I never had a call asking how often we were doing it. Quality is more important than quantity though. I also read that married people have it more often than singles.

i don't agree with it... i never been cheated and i never cheated on sumone... but i do bliv that finding the ONE for us is very hard... we may think that we already find him/her but there is a continuous entering of people who might be the right one... coincidentally, the time that they arrive sumtimes overlaps... we cannot judge a person by committing a single mistake... he/she might cheat but it's not for the purpose of cheating... (well... there are sum cases in which this does not apply... it depends on the person...) but... always see the goodness of a person before judging him/her.... one can always change for the best... ;p

We perpetuate the myth that men cheat more than women but this is obviously untrue; who are they cheating with? If by "better" you mean more successful at getting away with it then women I suppose. I'm not sure being more readily deceitful is something to be proud of though. Lying may involve some skill but so does stealing a car.

People cheat because they have a lack of self control.  If you know that something is wrong, and you do it anyway, then you are showing an amazing lack of self control, and your immaturity is showing as well.  It takes strength realize the truth.  A person does not have to cheat.  You simply tell your significant other "I don't love you enough to respect your feelings, or care if I hurt you."  Then leave them.  Because that is the exact message you are telling them when you cheat.  You are just too chicken to tell them to their face.

That depends on wht u think as cheating. drinking one extra drink without your spouse is also cheating and picking up a sl** on your tour is also cheating so strictly speaking everyone cheats
