Why do girls/women cheat?

If my boyfriend isn't showing me the attention and is treating me like I don't exsist, then yeah I will be out seeing somebody else.

im in a very satisfying relationship thankyou anyway contiune to have your chylymidia fuelled fun !

ha you clearly angry all the time, guess you don't get laid much haha

I will freely admit that I cheated on my boyfriend, it's not something I'm proud of, it's not something I will ever try to justify it to you, him or myself, but it happened, he forgave me and we're past it now. I cannot say why I did it, I don't even know. If you are one of those people who say 'it has nothing to do with alcohol' stop reading now. I was very drunk every time and I can honestly say that being teetotal has made a difference.

It's not about getting away with it, I never expected to get away with it, but then I also never expected to do it either, I didn't go out thinking tonight I am going to cheat, the thought didn't enter my mind and its not like I was going up to guys with the intention of cheating, if a guy a approached me, I guess I just didn't know how to say no, that's if my drunk self was able to say anything at all.

I most likely have a much more exciting fufiling and enjoyable sex life then you do with a man I love and care for but anyway i dont need to boast on an internet forum goodbye

Its nothing to do with gender although I do think that women turn on the water works, try to pain the guy out as the baddie or make out they were so drunk it wasnt there fault whereas guys are obviously the stronger ones so can hardly use to poor old little m line.

Peopl cheat because they are selfish they dont think about the other people they will hurt they just think of themselves they want something and they will do it regardless

There is never an excuse for cheating Whether your drunk, not given enough attention cheating is inexcusible people just use the 'Oh I was drunk' line to try justify and sooth their guilty conscience, maybe its not true once a cheat but the line 'what goes around comes around' is most certainly true

Gender doesn't determine whether someone will cheat or not. I know guys who have cheated on every partner and I know girls who have cheated on every partner.
The only thing that determines if somebody is going to cheat is their true colours. That is, what they think they'll be able to get away with without anybody finding out. Whether you're XX or XY, if you cheat, you're betraying somebody on the highest scale imaginable and you're utter scum.
It's naive and or ignorant to think gender has anything to do with it.

I've been debating this with my sister for a few days now, but why do girls or women cheat? I'd especially like to hear from girls who have cheated on guys.
Is it some sort of maturity thing? I guess not because we see it at all levels.
Would you agree that there has been an increase in cheating on the female side in the past decade or two?
What makes you more likely to cheat?
I am aware that if someone is going to cheat then they are going to cheat, but I'm just wondering, to those who cheated, what would have stopped you?
Please don't bring men into this yet, that's another topic
