Are Women More Likely to Cheat During Ovulation?

In summary: I'm laughing that it says the women are more likely to cheat if the other guys are more attractive than their own guy. :rofl: Does it really matter what stage of the cycle you're at to move on to a more attractive guy if the one you're with is not as attractive? If there's something you find less attractive about him in the first place, isn't that a bad sign right from the get-go?...Which would explain why I tripped and fell on the pool boy.327 times. :tongue2: Oh and, you need a taller pool fence.The article does mention that women are more likely to cheat during the fertile

It could just be a CA thing but just about every woman I have met has cheated on a significant other in one form or another at least once. Even most of the ones that said they would never do such a thing have done it. I've also met more women that seem to have an issue with being faithful. They also seem far more likely to rationalize their cheating, things like "Well we had that fight and technically we were broken up for that day." or "I was already planning on leaving him anyway."
I'm not saying men are saints but from what I have seen personally they are more often loyal than women. I think part of that is that it seems for women they tend to look at affairs as being romantic in some way. More men seem to consider intense loyalty to be romantic.

Well, I guess it's balanced out by the east coasters. Over on this side of the country, I know quite a few men who have cheated on their wives (some have been caught and some haven't...oh, not to mention the men I see at conferences walking arm in arm with women who I know are not their wives), but I only can think of two women who have cheated (one is my step-brother's wife, but I don't know if I even count that since they were mutually cheating :eek:, but after they separated for a bit, they've actually worked things out and have stayed married and word has it they've both finally grown up :rolleyes:...no, I haven't talked to them in about 7 years). I do know quite a few single women who have been the willing accomplice with the men cheating on their wives though.

Maybe it's just you? :biggrin:

I read on some "classical feminist" (as opposed to pop feminist) website that men consider their "secrets" being told a more serious infraction than their female s.o. having sex with someone else. The author went on to observe that by that measure (broken trust), most men are being cheated upon frequently by females.

I understand what they mean. It's extremely weird to me when a girlfriend discusses anything intimate about us with anyone else. It seems obvious to me that this is a breach of the relationship. It just gives me the feeling that they get involved in relationships with men as a way of relating to other women, the way a guy might buy a certain kind of car to be able to hang out with the car guys.

Hmm...regarding Enuma's and Zooby's comments about sharing secrets...yeah, I certainly know plenty of women who share WAY too much about their S.O.s. I'd be pretty pissed off too if I found out an S.O. of mine was out blabbing about that sort of stuff...and who wants to hear such things anyway?

I am guessing that it may be payback for making them feel like they have to conform and please. I read parts of the interview with Jane Fonda in a recent issue of the Ms magazine (that "fell onto my lap") and I thought, "hmmm..."
