Lol, this is bullshit. Studies show that men and women cheat at about the same rates. Whether or not men would cheat more GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY is questionable though. WOmen can have sex whenever they want, but it isn't the case for men. However, this guy has his facts wrong.

He didn't even mention the word "trust"

Are you german?

i was going to make the exact same comment, but you beat me to it. and you are right. 41% of men are not gay, and even if they were, there is no way that all 41% would also be the unfaithful ones.

spanky makes a good point, though. The ratio will be skewed if the 9% of females are more promiscuous. Also, since the number of female prostitutes greatly outnumbers male (and male prostitutes tend to service other men anyway) it will skew the ratio even further.

LOL completely forgot about that one.

[Spanky2k]

Or 9% of females go around the block a few more times than the 50% of men.

[wodan82]

It could also be that most women those men are cheating with do not have a relationship with an other man.

[farhmoha]

If 50% of men and 9% of females have been guilty for being unfaithful either 41% of females are lying, we have a higher % of non-strait males, or females don't know what being unfaithful is. I dunno lol.
