For the most part. But I think it simplifies things too much/leaves out valuable details. So I'd say it like:
Both men and women cheat because they're horny. And cheating should be treated as being equally bad for both sexes since they've both agred to conduct the relationship in a monogamous fashion.
But I believe women (on average) are more likely to cheat when they're unhappy about something in their current relationship. The unhappiness usually originating from their natural hypergamous nature. It's the reason why "shit tests" are so common in relationships. It's an instinct for a woman to be reminded that she's with a high-value provider, else she will likely desire something else. And it's instinct since she's the child-bearer of the relationship. A bad male provider could be bad for offspring development.
While men (on average) are most likely to cheat without having to be unhappy about something in their current relationship. I believe this is because men don't have the hypergamous nature. They just have instincts to spread their seed.
Yes for the most part I I find that true , For men to be in love they need their physical needs to be met , when his girl starts denying him sex and making him feel like she doesn’t value him, he will more than likely have a wandering eye and seek a girl that wants to have sex with him and makes him feel wanted and valued and compliments him As for girls’they usually cheat when their emotional needs aren’t met , when she feels she can’t look up to her man anymore , she will be drawn to a guy that she feels others look up to him , where he is a leader , or a boss , or someone that gives her attention and makes sure she is catered to , she is drawn to his status and cheat on her man , when a girl stops fighting and nagging at her man that pretty much means she doesn’t care about him anymore and it probably getting pounded by another guy , Guys if your girl starts doing this to you, don’t be a punching bag for a long time , go flirt with others girls , never be a sitting duck to someone that doesn’t value you and appreciate all that you do , life is to short to be waiting for someone that treats you like a punching bag
I think people cheat because they're selfish and only think about themselves and not their partner... If you can't be faithful, or handle those issues with your partner when they arise, don't get/be in a relationship.. even though people keep trying to justify, make reasons why people cheat, there isn't any... You unhappy, address that with your partner and give it a chance to me worked out, and if it can't, break up and then go fuck someone else. If you horny, fuck your partner, if she/he can't or won't satisfy your needs then end it and then go fuck someone else.. So, no I don't think it's either of those reasons.. Just pure, simple me me me behavior... Men who are horny and feel unsatisfied, and use that as an excuse to cheat do they ever ask or think if their partner is also horny or unsatisfied, no of course not🙄 women who are unhappy and use that as an excuse to cheat, do they ever ask or think about if their partner is also unhappy? No of course not🙄
And when men are unhappy?
I voted other bacause I can only speak for my side. I can’t see myself cheating because I was horny. Being unhappy plays a big role. I have never cheated in real life, but I sometimes chat online with strangers, general chat and sex chat.
Being unhappy could be the reason for the majority of women, or unhappy and horny. Just horny is not enough.

i think men cheat because they want to.
women cheat because they want to.
thats the only reason people do.
not always the case, but lets say its the common reason
No, these are the usual complaints.
Think it can go both ways for both genders
Do you mind if I redefine the question to instead of cheating, to just having extramarital sex? In my case, it was a series of events that has led me to having sex outside of our marriage. And let me say this, my husband stays faithful to me. Now before I get flamed, I'll say that my husband and I are both consenting adults. The main reason I do it is because the "other" men I've been with are extremely well endowed. My husband is average. He feels good, but every now and then I really need a good stretch. My husband still gets to have sex with me, and he's always happy that I am getting so well satisfied on my play nights. I keep emotion out of the sex with my "friends". It wasn't easy at first, but once I realized how much I loved my husband, and I knew that I had his support, it has enhanced our romantic life more than you can imagine!
your case becomes a form of open relationship then. your partner knows and condones you having sex with others (play nights) . which means you were adults and discussed things and came to some sort of agreement. when have mentioned asking for any type of open relationship in opinions for other questions (specifically already established couples redefining their relationship) this is an example of how asking works.
No. Anyone of either gender cheats because they're a scumbag.
Well when I was married or when I had a girlfriend or I was just dating somebody it didn't matter how horny I was I wouldn't cheat because I wouldn't want it done to me I do think that men cheat because they think they can get away with it because they think they're smarter and that's how smart they are they're dumb because it will always get found out and the worst part is go home act as if nothing ever happened and be able to fuck their wife are there girlfriend thinking how smart they are
And with women you are so right they are totally unhappy they need to be loved and need to fill that that connection that Bond
People cheat when they give themselves permission to.
I think it's partly true. I think MORE women cheat because they are unhappy, and more men can cheat simply because they are unhappy. But, I know some men have been just as unhappy as women purportedly are, as some women likewise cheat simlly because they are horny.
As a rule of thumb, or generalism, I don't think the clique is off the mark, but the exceptions to the rule is sìgnificant in quantity.
Nope.. I think what applies to both sexes is,, people cheat because they don't value their partners enough.
For the most part, yeah thats true. People cheat because they aren't getting their needs met, and that is because of bad communication.
partially true... but still, I would have chosen different wording
I firmly believe men and women cheat for the same reasons: they are either bored or insatiable.
People cheat because they have a moral failing.
Men tend to cheat for sex which doesn’t happen for them often unless a woman allows it because women are the gatekeepers of sex. And their are a lot of women out there who want men who are already taken.
Women cheat because of emotional reasons. Either their needs aren’t being met and/or they feel the need to receive emotional support from someone else. Then they fall out of love with their partner and in love with this new guy.
Both men and women cheat for a variety of reasons, I think that largely both genders share most of the so called reasons for cheating. generally it's not justifiable for either gender.
I would say that's mostly true, keeping in mind that it's much easier for a woman to find a man to cheat with than it is for a man to find a woman.
Consider this:
1) Woman (dressed sexy) walks into a bar and announces "Which one of you guys wants to come home with me?" OR
2) Man (dressed sexy) walks into a bar and announces "Which one of you guys wants to come home with me?"
In 1), it's likely she'll get several takers.
In 2), it's likely all the women will ignore him, and maybe call the cops.
You have no idea that so many men cheat because we just want to feel loved. So often, we engage in sex but just want intimacy.
I’m inclined to agree
Sort of sexist no?
@sensible27 yeah but also truthful
Okay, elaborate? It's just sort of odd how you assumed people just cheat because they're unhappy but it doesn't apply to males
It’s not that simple. People cheat for a variety of reasons. Sometimes men are unhappy too, either because of lack of sex or respect in their relationship. Some men who climb the career ladder look to “make an upgrade” and have affairs with younger, attractive women as part of their selection process. Sometimes women find a man hot and want to cheat. Sometimes they are not particularly unhappy with their relationship, but feel bored or wonder if they can do better.
