Lol!! Men's motto is lie about it even if you have been caught. From my experience I know more men who have cheated. But often they justify it with lame excuses. Women are more verbal and more willing to talk about their mistakes and problems. It's their way of working it out. Men tend to ignore it and hope it goes away.

well tigeress,
I'm not totally sure that is true - based on observing anonymous posts where telling the truth etc. isn't as much of a concern, but,
even if you are correct in what you say:
Are you so certain that cheating and telling about it is necessarily as selfless or moral as cheating and not telling about it? When a person admits to their significant other that they cheated - who is that really serving, the cheater or the cheatee? (hugs)
For the heck of it I conducted a quick, general study and sub-totalling of infidelity and cheating related threads here.
Statistical studies should be conduct on an adequate random campion of people.
A study based on cheating related threads on loveshack is statistically unreliable.
I know I'm acting like a pain in the ass....
I'm studying some statistic for an university test and confidence levels are going over my head!!!

Quite honestly, I know the studies are out there that say that women and men are both cheating on spouses and that the amount of women being unfaithful is on the rise. The last I remember the numbers were pretty close on both sides, but that could be my faulty memory
As far as getting your numbers from LS, that would not be fair because women are here talking about it while the guy is out there trying to divide his time between two women and not getting caught .Women can just organize their times better
Perhaps during all those posts you were reading, you could count the men involved with the OW/MM/MW/OM posts also to even out your numbers
Good luck to you
P.S. Nice tux

alot of women are insecure and love attention; to me it is those women who cheat, or those who are not getting the attention they want from their boyfriend.
I also always thought it was worse if a woman cheats because women usually cheat because they like a guy, men cheat just because theres a receptacle (what i mean is, men can cheat and have no feelings involved; most women have feelings involved). thats my OPINION though
well some, albeit "tally-like" and COMPLETELY non-scientific. the following are some quotes and studies dug up just for this thread. enjoy.
Up to 37% of men and 22% of women admit to having affairs. Researchers think the vast majority of the millions of people who visit chat rooms, have multiple "special friends" .
Dr. Bob Lanier, askbob.com
Findings on infidelity are hotly debated. Earlier studies said up to 68% of men and 66% of women confessed extramarital bed-hopping
People routinely lie to investigators about infidelity, cautions Peggy Vaughan, author of The Monogamy Myth (New market Press, $14.95). "You cannot trust anybody on a subject like this."
She believes about 60% of men and 40% of women will have an extramarital affair at some time; since these people are not always married to each other, about 80% of marriages are touched.
Former secretary of State Henry Kissinger said it first, says St. Paul, Minn., marital therapist William Doherty: Power is a great aphrodisiac. "A lot of women are attracted to powerful men," Doherty says. And it is true, he says, that today "more women are initiating sexual activities."
"... the controversial study, engineered by DR. Val Jones, purports to demonstrate that the incidence of female gender infidelity increases in direct inverse relation to spousal genital dimensions ...furthermore, indicates that at a measure within only 5 percent below the average penis girth, the incidence of female infidelity matches the average of male infidelity and continues to climb inversely relative to genital circumference…"
CPAC: Diary of Club Meetings
... One statistic I found surprising was that of the 20 in Sian’s group 16 were female. ... He
handed out some colour pictures of the Moon showing the location ...
…it should be noted that such studies can be misleading. Although the majority of such studies return higher percentages for male infidelity, these do all take into account other important parameters such as duration of extramarital affairs, frequency or sum-total of copulation. Perhaps most difficult to gage are resultant divorce outcomes. Most of the following studies demonstrate a dramatic parity between male and female infidelity as it relates to divorce…
It is a mistake to take LS to be a reflection of all of society. This board represents people who are willing to use computers, who don't think online forums are stupid, and who are willing to discuss their personal lives with strangers. That is a subset of all society and therefore cannot be considered a representative sample.
Pretty much every subject that can ever be discussed here has also been the subject of a professionally-conducted study done by someone. That data can be found, if you know how to look. I would definitely caution against drawing conclusions about all of humanity based solely on the posts at LS.

yes I see your point and agree.
