It depends. Some people make a one time mistake. Others make it a habit. I know two women that both cheated. The first one cheated on her husband and felt so bad she threw up the next morning. The second one cheated on her boyfriend with seven other men... at least a dozen times between them. Some people make single mistake and regret it forever. Others don't regret it and continue that behavior.

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.

They probably do get what they want sexually with girlfriend but they just want different women.  Men are pigs when it comes to sex, gotta have it with as many women as they can.  That is why men cheat.  Variety.

It's not men or women it's people.  People cheat...always have always will.  Same as lying, stealing etc.  You just need to find someone who doesn't.  That's the hard part. If someone cheats on you, most likely you were not meant to be together in the first place.

Well, men and women alike cheat. Not everyone mind you. We are all different and have our reasons for cheating or not cheating. Speaking on behalf of men, my personal opinion is that if a man cheats, he does think about it, even if its at a subconscious level. I have never cheated on anyone I have been with, but that's my choice. I prefer to end the relationship if I feel that I want to be with another woman. Cheating isn't worth the headaches or the risk of losing someone you might care about.\n\nI think if someone cheats, they have very low morals and isn't someone worth being with. This is why I believe that most people get involved in serious relationships too early in life. They should be out there having fun and enjoying their youth. There will be plenty of time to get involved in a serious relationship. Once we learn what love is really about, we can make better decisions on who will might want to spend the rest of our lives with.

Just as many non-cheating guys around as non-cheating women. Do you cheat?... sounds like you don't. So, yes there are non-cheating guys around.   The TV show Cheaters has a website to meet people who want to be with someone who doesn't cheat. Good luck.

Any repectful man or woman does not cheat. If you need to cheat, then you need to break up with the person you want to cheat on. Makes sense, huh?

i don't think this depends on gender...it is a question of whether they (male or female) have common decency!

I have never cheated but have heard that the main reason a woman cheats is because she is not fully happy at home. Something is missing, which could be a lot of things...

I think some husbands cheat on their wives for the same reason why all men cheat... they want to see if the grass is greener in other pastures. They may not be getting the attention they want at home or they may simply just be jerks and not care about their wive's feelings.

From my experience with a friend, guys feel she is cheating cause he is.  The guilt and thought that she is doing the same thing grows strong and he shows those emotions.
