Man seems to cheat a lot more than women in romantic relationships, whether it's a man from the West or from the East, man is always a man and the same everywhere. That said, women are becoming equal to men in all aspects including social and economic matters. Who is more loyal in today's modern world? I still believe men cheat much more than women. Your views please...

Hi vijayanths It is NEVER about man or woman. It is always about how honest and committed you are into the relationship and also how much that relationship matters to you. If it doesnt, you can never be loyal and similarly, if it means the world to you, there is NO way you can be disloyal

You are right thesids. I still think we can find out who cheats more. Some may think it's not necessary to find out these facts. I believe these things could help us to improve the quality of relationships.

dear anna, Is there any official survey for this? Who cheats more? Anyway, I do not believe that men are cheater than woman. Maybe it just happen that men are open about this matter- and women.. like the saying says... good girls are bad girls waiting for the chance have a great weekend

Well said and there is no survey on this or any research on these matters to say that men cheat more ! As you said, most men are open on these matters and by talking to men who is involved in romantic relations one can get in depth knowledge of their behavior or actions. It is life and there are different characters in here as well as different day's with different time's for different reason's..we only have to experience life as it presents each day

Hi, my dear sister Jai, I have read about a few such surveys conducted in India, that revealed Indian men cheat more than women. Women are becoming equal to men if not more powerful these days and may be women will also cheat on equally in future.

Hi Jai, When it comes to our own life and 'our own exclusive' life, we can live the way how we want, and it should be in such a way. I think life and its definitions to be 'redefined' and what all definitions we have given conventionally should be re-framed. We all should be independent in all respects and it should be like that. I am still saying, life is to live and we have only few more seconds ahead,.... I don't think anyone understand what I really meant and that is my worry!!

Hullo Vijayanths! You have just abandoned my lot .What has happened? How is your family? How are the sons and daughters-in-law? Any grandchildren? Coming to the topic, it is always a case that the male species is promiscuous by nature. In human beings as in other species, women are better survivors. In the case of human beings, women always look for security and this is one reason why they would prefer a marriage and fidelity. . Women would have been loyal in olden days on account of so many things. As you have pointed out, nowadays things are changing. Women are more modern in their outlook and divorce is not largely frowned upon .It is just a case of ‘being able to tolerate or not tolerate” and people go their merry ways. I feel that men may tend to cheat more than their counterparts. They do not face the additional burden of bearing children and this would always be an emboldening factor. Women have more physical complications than men and this is also another reason. As far as heart goes and sense of values is concerned, sadly there is a lot of degeneration in today’s thinking process and anything is possible. But, for the sake of convenience women may tend to stick on with their partners and be loyal.

Hello, Kala, thanks for your enquiring about my family. All are very well, my second son out of country since last November. My first son is delaying his marriage and hence second son's marriage is also getting delayed. My wife and I love children a lot. Let us hope, good things will happen soon. I agree with all your points. If man cheats on, there are some issues. if a woman cheats on, if she gives birth, there will be a big confusion about who is the child's father. it will ruin the whole family set up. May be that's why God had designed woman to be more faithful than man.

hi vijaya, It's not about which gender is? I think it's about how people manage to be loyal to their partner If I say female specie is more loyal than your specie for sure lot of male specie will disagree right? Some male mylotters will insist that female are not loyal because once or twice they was been cheated This is like talking about religion which one is better or does He really exist it will be no ending at all happy mylotting

bhaby, Honestly when one mylotter posted this "good girls are bad girls who are just waiting for the chance" lols got me thinking... Partly right- if the society can turn the tide and it is more acceptable for women to cheat- for sure, that would be the scenario... lols again

bhabycatch013 That's true. Still, we can actually figure out who cheats more by conducting surveys. These surveys are too personal, we can't say how frank people would be. Yet we can figure out the truth with these surveys.

Nowadays , women cheat a lot , but , they are just more careful to be discovered , because society is more harder on women than on men. So , we still hide some of our secrets. We want to be called Mrs. ..... with all the respect .

I think that men cheat more than women, unfortunately. Women are built to be faithful, to be very implied in a relationship and cheating seems impossible for most of them. I also think that cheating on someone is a lack of respect, and trust can be seriously altered. I have also seen many cases in which both men and women were very faithful to their partners until the first disappointment in love. But that depends on each person in particular.

Hi Vijayanths! Normally, I would have answered that women are more loyal in relationships than men but survey after survey after survey prove that theory incorrect. I was quite surprised but not shocked to learn that. Here are a few links you can see for yourself: Survey Finds: Women More Likely To Cheat Than Men http://hellobeautiful.com/1728125/survey-finds-women-more-likely-to-cheat-than-men/ Women beat men in the adultery stakes: Ladies who cheat have 2.3 secret lovers compared to 1.8 for the blokes http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2145925/Women-beat-men-adultery-stakes-Ladies-2-3-secret-lovers-affair-compared-1-8-blokes.html Women Worse Cheats Than Men, Says Survey http://www.thirdage.com/infidelity/women-worse-cheats-than-men-says-survey Women Cheat More than Men http://www.vogue.it/en/magazine/editor-s-blog/2011/06/june-28th Cheers, Stan

I believe it could be both ways. yet I think the man can be tempted more by other women, lust and seeing how far they go. sometimes I think they just want to stray because they are not ready to settle down and accept what they have. I am not sure but some women lead on men by their ways of already knowing they can change and it is hard to say one about the other, I believe both are at fault at cheating but men just do not say no ..I guess it would lead to men first in cheating..

In this case, we need to consider various other factors also. But in a common view and things in general, I agree with your opinion because man are more tempted to cheating as compared to women. Mainly man has more opportunities as compared to women and it depend on various countries and places, especially in these days. We should assume many more things that life and style is redefined and we have to think more openly where people want more independent, even though they are linked and tied up with relations and in such cases, relationships has to be make more confidential to maintain the 'both' at a time.

Doesn't it all really boil down to an individual's personality? Some people are just more prone to being unfaithful in a relationship than others, and I don't think it really matters what gender a person is when it comes to how loyal one is in a relationship.

No. It is absolutely wrong view. It is not depends upon the gender. But the atmosphere and surrounding people ie. friends, relations. I think you can remember Satya Harischandra of Hindu philosophy and Sri Rama of Ramayana. Both are male.
