I would have to disagree that with EVERY man there is a cheating woman because men do cheat more often. That's not feminist or anything - it's statistics.

I could never cheat on my bf or even jerks I'd dated in the past. Just can't bring myself to do it. All boils down to trust though. If a girl came to me and said my bf had done something with her I would assume she was lying, not him. I would hope he feels the same way.

And a girl doing that only speaks to her insecurity and previous feelings of abandonment. However, I know that there are a lot of guys out there who feel just like women - can't find a good one....they're ALL cheaters (which isn't true for either side of course).

Bottom line - women and men think differently. We're wired differently. No matter what the reasons are - it's the same outcome. I don't really see it as a way of a woman proving her strength or saying she is capable of doing "man things". I see it as a mutual respect between 2 people that shouldn't depend on gender and shouldn't be violated. If a woman feels the need to validate herself by getting with another man - she obviously isn't ready for a committed relationship. To me, that indicates just as many issues as a woman who does it for the extra attention.
