women get horny.

Arguably the most appreciated show of emotion undertaken by humans in my view. Bar none.

You know...a lot of women...my wife included can tell when they are "in season".. a bit flushed, slight pain on either side...and yes the rather obvious other symptoms you described...lol

With my 2 girls...and our 2 in diapers....we have to be careful...and no, we're not Catholics.

If you were married to someone from DU wouldn't you want to cheat too?

Ha! I'm married to someone who could be from DU. I'm the capitalist, she's the hippy-chick. Kind of like that Darma and Greg show :)

That being said, I would never ever cheat on her. Our love is too passionate for that.

I was blonde at birth - dad has black hair - for years the family joke was that I was the mailman/cable guy/house painter's kid.

The title for the post is wrong.

Re-read the first sentence. It merely says that women are more likely to cheat than they used to be.

This explains your confusion.

It's kinda hard to understand why anyone would cheat on spouse - at least to me. Whatever happened to the notions that one's word was their bond?

Unfortunately have to part company on this one. I admire and respect your position on this, but it just isn't the reality, at least in my experience. I have spent 17 years being a loving, successful provider and husband, father of two sons, and I carry 90% of the household duties. In return I am treated like dirt, disrespected, screamed at, with sexual relations exclusively controlled by this mean b_tch.

I cheat when I please and as often as I please, which is still very rare. But I carry no sense of shame or guilt, given how I am treated, and I will not ever throw a stone at any other person similarly treated.

Exactly. If women are more likely to cheat than men, then who are they cheating with???

[Mihalis]

...Women are more likely to cheat on their men...

We've always known that, haven't we.......LOLOL

Re-read the first sentence. It merely says that women are more likely to cheat than they used to be.

It's not MY confusion, it's the author's and it was a deliberate deception. Kind of ruins her credibility. Also the author hasn't convinced me that women cheat more than they used to and her initial credibility gap only widens with each paragraph.

In any case, who would all these women (whatever the number) be cheating with? The author herself says 25% of women cheat compared with 44% of men. How does that compute? She doesn't bother to tell us who is "cheating" with who. Are married people cheating with single people? If so, more married women must be cheating with married men than with single men, to keep their percentages so disparate.

Whatever, the author is bad at math.

Please don't keep a chip on your shoulder toward me, ma'am [grin]. I was just trying to help you. I was not confused at any point.

As a matter of fact, when I read the title, I knew immediately that it was wrong--before I even read the first sentence of the article. (Everything I know about men and women screams out to me that the title is false.) When I subsequently read the first sentence of the article, I immediately saw that the person who hung the title on the article was badly mistaken about what the author was saying.

The author of the article was NOT trying to deceive the likes of you. On the contrary, she actually stipulates that men cheat more often than men--by a pretty wide margin. Even a casual reader should notice that.

Why am I letting the author off the hook of responsibility for the false title? It's very simple. It's because the author of the article obviously didn't dream up the title of the article. It was written by a sloppy page editor who didn't read the article carefully enough.

This kind of thing happens pretty often in journalism. The problem is, news copy is written by different people from those who write headlines. And they sometimes get sloppy.

So, it was just a boneheaded mistake. I saw what was going on immediately. I didn't even get mad (grin).

Oops. I meant to say "men cheat more often than women."

[bdeaner]

There was a book out a few years back called The Sperm Wars that talks about how women are more likely to cheat when ovulating.

I saw both of these shows. They were really interesting.

[Light Speed]

Yup..you have to be carefull out thar....theres "Cougars" on the prowl!

"...may actually mean it when they tell their secretaries that their wives don't understand them."

They have ALWAYS may have meant it that their wives don't understand them. MadTV did a great skit where a prostitiute abuses and berates a husband. It is kind of a reverse example of why men would go to a prostitute. You don't cheat to be emotionally abused. Pretty Woman the movie is premised on a business man who does not want the emotional hassle.

This study is tripe used to sell magazines and get PR for the person reporting. This is up there in reliability with day care helps with socialization, humnans are not monogamous, oral sex is not sex, single mothers are better than family units, it only takes a father figure not a real father, tv is a good babysitter, children are just short adults, and homosexuality is harmless.

Wouldn't divorce be better? That doesn't sound like a marriage.
