Do all real men cheat?

Both men and women cheat. The only diferrence is that man always get caught while the women are a little smarter. But when a woman gets caught its always the hubby's fault for neglecting her emotional needs. While when a man gets caught, he is a cheating lying pig!!!!

Also very true.

Another one of those double standards..
 
Cheating seems to be a big thing now a days and to be honest it's sad. Personally called me old fashion but I've never cheated nor would I ever cheat on a GF. I could never put someone through that. It makes them feel used and worthless especially if that person's in love you.
This is why marriage terrifies me. Can you really truly trust anyone anymore?

That's my 2cents

I don't trust women whatsoever. (Other than my mother and my sister.)

They are constantly re-evaluating, analyzing, scheming, and looking to move up. A woman's word is good for the day and then it expires at the first moment they feel you have done something to warrant them going back on their word.

what an inane generalization...you have lumped all women together,most of whom are mothers and sisters of someone..but only your mother and sister can be trusted......i just have to shake my head

Knock yourself out.
 
Well guess I must not be a "real man." :eek:

Although I must admit this particular topic is a touch of ironic on a board such as this, I've only ever been involved in the hobby: a) before I had a fiancée b) after I was divorced.

It's my feeling that other aspects of a marriage would have to be absolutely spectacular to compensate for a relationship that was inadequate in the areas affection and sexual compatibility and frankly I don't think such a marriage would last and as another poster mentioned - to be crass - if you've "getting it" at home from some who loves you and whom you love, for most people there's little motivation to cheat.

In my experience, people who cannot deal
honestly with others are often, to begin with,
not honest with themselves.

Nor indeed can it be said that they know themselves
well, or that they are aware of their own best
interests (especially long-term best interests).

It is not merely selfish to be conscious of
the reality of one's own desires; in fact, it may
be a prerequisite to being able to deal responsibly
with others.

Too often, people make commitments (in their ignorance)
that (objectively) they have little hope of fulfilling
(whether they know it or not).
When these commitments reach their inevitable ends, I
have a hard time believing that it is not, in the end,
better for all concerned...

People who don't acknowledge that the greater good is sometimes served by a lie, whether by omission or commission, are either not being honest with themselves, or do not truly consider the interests of other people in addition to their own. In my experience, many people who I have known who have espoused your view have simply lacked the strength to carry the burden of keeping the truth to themselves for the sake of others.

People make commitments based on their existing levels of knowledge, faith, and experience. Most people make errors in judgement, especially when they are young and inexperienced. The ends of such errors are not truly "inevitable", because there are options to choose from in dealing with your life from the point of that realization. Life is more than just your intimate relationships.
 
I believe in karma and do onto others...Seriously I had dated a gal once who I later found out was still seeing her "ex" on the side. I'd never want to bring that kinda pain to someone else.
