To be honest, that is a question that has no simple answer. This is a question which has no universal answer. The best answer to this question is in the form of another question: Who knows? On top of that, one should ask: Who really cares? In my personal opinion, trying to find out which gender cheats more is very much a waste of someone's time. There are far better things to do than try to come up with the answer to such a question.

However, it is completely understandable to why someone would ask such a question. You could be a guy and got jilted by a wife or girlfriend that went and cheated on you. You could be a woman and got jilted by a husband or boyfriend that went and cheated on you. These are valid reasons a person could ask on whether males or females are either more likely or less likely to cheat.

Finding that answer is no different than finding a needle in a haystack. To be honest, it is virtually impossible to find out which gender cheats more. On top of that, there is no universal interpretation of what it means to cheat. One person's interpretation is completely different from another person's interpretation. Because of that, it makes it very impossible to figure out which gender cheats more often than the other. It is a question in which one will never find the definite answer.

On top of that, you have to factor in same-sex and bisexual couples. That makes things more complicated in finding a definite answer. A gay male could say that men or women tend to cheat more than the other. A lesbian female could say the same thing. A bisexual male or female could very well say the same thing as well.

One could say that a definite answer could be done through a survey. However, that is easier said than done. To do a survey is virtually impossible. In most cases, people that cheat are not going to admit it. As a result, you will get highly inaccurate information from people you are interviewing. Also, one has to factor in cultural customs on what is considered cheating as well.

When one asks such a question, one is unfairly grouping all women and/or all men together. The thing is that nobody really simply cheats. There has to be a bunch of reasons and factors for a person to cheat regardless of gender and sexual orientation. In this respect, one cannot make the connection between gender and the likeliness that one would cheat at all.

People that cheat have their own reasons, excuses, and circumstances as well. However, you pretty much cannot group all the cheaters together. One person's reason for cheating is different from another person's reason for cheating. Perhaps both genders tend to equally cheat as much as the other. Also, you have to factor in those that are transgender as well.

There are so many factors and variables one has to deal with in regards to trying to find the answer to such a question. Asking a question incites people to unfairly stereotype men and women. That does not help at all. All that does is incite insecurity and paranoia. Overall, no two men and no two women are exactly the same. Overall, it is like asking this one magic question: How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll pop? The answer is: The world may never know.

To sum it up, trying to find the answer on which gender cheats more is nothing more than a waste of time. The time is better used on focusing on ones own relationship and/or trying to find out why people resort to cheating on their partners. You will never find a definite answer.
