<p>"According to a Cosmo poll, women are the ones getting extra action.
Can you honestly say you've never smooched a random Romeo even when you had a sweet boyfriend?</p>

<p>Cosmo conducted an online poll of 1,000 single men and 1,000 single women, and 55 percent of guys and a shocking 59 percent of ladies said they have cheated on a partner. We asked relationship therapist Bonnie Eaker Weil, Ph.D., author of Make Up, Don't Break Up, to explain why women are more apt to wander.</p>

<h1>We Get Off on the Rush</h1>

<p>Women crave the endorphin high from the initial attraction they feel toward a new guy.</p>

<h1>We Want Attention</h1>

<p>Girls may cheat because they feel taken for granted. A new lover gives them the TLC that their beau doesn't.</p>

<h1>We Feel Pressured</h1>

<p>When women stress (especially over their guy), they may seek out another stud to lean on as a distraction."</p>

<p>What do you think?</p>

<p>Seems that guys cheat more often when it's a new/non-serious relationship and girls do it when it's a long term relationship.</p>

<p>It reminds me of a story.
A friend of mine has been going out with this guy for like 4 years now. She basically gave it up to him so he's her first. She complains about him all the time but has that attachment to him being that he was her first and all. The guy is actually pretty lucky to have her because physically speaking she is on some whole other level. So she has cheated on him twice. She didn't do anything serious, just went out and made out with two guys (one like two years ago and another one just recently). So I tell her that if he cheats on her that she has no right to get mad. And she says no, I have every right to get mad. I tell her that she's cheated on him so it's like an eye for an eye. And she's like not really, he never has to find out I cheated on him.</p>

<p>This coming from a girl that if you got to know her looks like someone who would never do that type of thing. And well she did cheat, TWICE. Makes no sense really. She complains, then cheats on the guy but still sticks with him. Somethings just don't make sense.</p>

<p>Girls will sleep with any guy.</p>

<p>That's why I keep thinking. Maybe while in college the best thing to do is to never commit to one girl and just go around getting a bit of each girl you can. Making sure that the girl you end up with in a relationship is past her college years. This way chances of her going to a club and waking up next to some random guy, are slim. I just can't help but think that at college it's inevitable for both parties to do it. I mean sure they can't force themselves not to do any type of cheating but I can only imagine it's a struggle.</p>

<p>I would say the percentage of girls who are genuine and would never cheat is around 10%. Then there is the type that would need to find like a certified A+/10 above their BF to cheat around 30% and the type who will cheat on any guy anywhere 60%.</p>

<p>Hope you like herpes.</p>

<p>Ahh I forgot about STDs. Damn there is just no way to beat the system.</p>

<p>um....its a cosmo study. not exactly the most reputable academic journal. </p>

<p>And frankly, the attitudes about women on this thread are appalling!</p>

8

<p>First off, you guys know absolutely nothing about women. Period. </p>

<p>mm i think i can just see the testosterone oozing from this thread.
this is exactly why women cheat. b/c we have to live in the same universe as people like you guys. </p>

<p>"Maybe while in college the best thing to do is to never commit to one girl and just go around getting a bit of each girl you can."
What are we like pieces of steak or something? </p>

<p>In conclusion, I honestly don't think cheating has much correlation with gender. Fifty-five percent vs. fifty-nine percent is not a significant disparity. It always depends on the situation and who you're talking to. This so-called girl you know sounds like a real b i t c h and I wouldn't go generalizing the entire female population based on her if I were you or your setting yourself up for majooorrr trouble.</p>

<p>I know a LOT about women.</p>

<p>Too much if I do say so myself.</p>

10

<p>I feel compelled to repeat again -since this post ****ed me off so bad- and to Balmes especially:
you sound like a jerk and honestly, base on your posts, probably don't have much experience with women.</p>

11

<p>I can take being called a jerk. That second part is a lie though.</p>

12

<p>Gosh! This thread really made me mad. I have to say to the guys on here: this is why there is an organization called N.O.W.</p>

13

<p>N.o.m.a.a.m.</p>

14

<p>"I know a LOT about women."</p>

<p>hahaha too funny</p>

<p>The study's done by Cosmo.</p>

<p>Cosmo women are idiots. I have never seen an intelligent Cosmo reader. To those that have, you may not count yourself. You are not intelligent if you read Cosmo. Who the hell reads a magazine that tells themselves how to act more like a girl? </p>

<p>The study is flawed. Readers of Cosmo are not likely to care about moral/ethics, judging as the cover often reads - "how to give better head"</p>

16

<p>"hahaha too funny"</p>

<p>About as funny as your self-rightousness in this thread.</p>

17

<p>well i think I've said all i need to say on this extremely offensive and disprectful thread. good bye and have a nice life.</p>

18

<p>Way ahead of you.</p>

19

<p>well Tufts, cosmo can be pretty entertaining, but you have to take everything at face value. haha :) And you cant really stereotype an entire group of people, like cosmo readers. Its a purely entertainment driven magazine.</p>

<p>The statistical procedure employed here is awful. The results are relatively meaningless.</p>
