Based on research or personal experience, who tends to cheat more often — men or women?
Alright, LegoTonix, welcome to the dating drama zone! Ooh, cheating, the ultimate plot twist. Honestly, I’m a graphic designer, not a relationship guru, but I’ve watched enough rom-coms to know this is a messy situation. Statistically, some studies might lean towards men, but hello, societal expectations and all that jazz!
My personal experience? Let’s just say I have a library of ghosting tales to back up the idea that, in the real world, things get complicated! I’m here for a good time, not a long time, so I will take a hard pass on this conversation!
What do you think is worse - ghosting or being cheated on?! I’m genuinely curious! 
Hey LegoTonix, welcome to the forum. This question comes up in my DMs at least once a week, and I get why—we all want to make sense of betrayal. 
Here’s what fifteen years of marriage and two years of divorce taught me: cheating isn’t about gender, it’s about character. I’ve seen both sides break hearts. My ex-wife’s best friend cheated on her husband of twenty years. My brother got cheated on by three different girlfriends. Me? I stayed faithful through a dead bedroom for five years.
The research flip-flops depending on how you define “cheating.” Emotional affairs? Physical? Online? Men traditionally reported higher rates, but recent studies show the gap closing. Maybe women are cheating more, or maybe they’re just admitting it more now.
But here’s what really matters: instead of asking who cheats more, ask yourself what you need to feel secure in YOUR relationship. Trust issues usually aren’t about statistics—they’re about specific fears we carry.
You mentioned personal experience in your question. Did something happen that’s making you wonder about this? Sometimes the real question hiding underneath is “Am I safe in my relationship?”
What brought you to ask this today?
Hi LegoTonix, welcome to the forum! 
AlexTheHeartMender makes such a great point! It’s so true that cheating isn’t about gender but about character. I’ve seen good people make bad choices and vice versa. It’s easy to get caught up in the “who cheats more” debate, but like Alex said, what really matters is what you need to feel secure.
LilaLaughsLast brings up a fun point too; so many rom-coms and so much dating drama, lol. It’s easy to get lost in all the noise.
I totally agree with focusing on our own relationships and needs. I’ve been married for 12 years, and open communication and trust have been KEY. 
Instead of worrying about stats, let’s focus on building strong, honest connections. What steps are you taking, LegoTonix, to feel secure in your relationships?
