An Unfaithful Woman
We talk about cheating men all the time. “All men cheat” is a common mantra thrown around and I’ve even heard some say that the desire and will to cheat is ingrained in the DNA of all men.
But on the flip side, some say when a woman’s ready to cheat, she can be deadly. I was chatting with a male friend of mine recently and he started explaining that for him, the worst thing a woman could do to him, is cheat. For him, a woman cheating is worst than a man cheating. He was looking at it from the anatomical aspect of a woman opening her legs and giving herself to another man after being with her boyfriend/husband. So while he does think it’s wrong for either sex to cheat, according to him, when a woman does it, it’s worst.
But why do so many persons see a woman cheating as such a horrible thing when men cheating is generally accepted as the norm? Isn’t this a double standard? If a man cheats, it’s OK, they are expected to. But when a woman does it she’s ‘no good’, a whore and in Jamaican vernacular, a ‘sketel’. So men cheat and women cheat but that doesn’t make it right does it? Wasn’t there a time when people were faithful to each other? You choose one person, you stick with them. If it’s not working out, you break it off and move on. There may be more variables involved, but isn’t that the bottom line? It’s strange that monogamy doesn’t seem to have increased when there are so many sexually transmitted diseases out there including AIDS, that kills.
Cheating is wrong but why does it seem worse when a woman does it?

2- Why do women hold the illusion that they cheat SIGNIFICANTLY less than men. (Statistically women do cheat less but that difference is insignificant). Why is it that 1/3 of children born out of wedlock are passed off on the wrong father?
Caribbean society has many hidden realities, all for the same reason. Find that reason and you have the answer to your question.
Cheating is cheating so if its wrong for the woman it’s equally wrong for the man. That gentleman (mentioned in the article)seem to be a bit bias to me.
The sad thing is that as much as men support this notion, women are the biggest perpetrators. Our sisters support the double standard to the point where often if a man is caught cheating and it’s being discussed you’re likely to hear ” A man areddy, him cyaan do betta” but if it’s the woman she’s a “slut” or she’s a “loose gyal”.
Iif we are disgusted by cheating women we should be disgusted by cheating men and if we condone it for the men then why not for the woman?
The only difference I have noticed with women who cheat is that they are definitely smarter with theirs and I think that’s what kills the men every single time (ego).
First if you have a girlfriend and she’s pretty in face and body, expect that another man will find a way to taste the fruit. Women likes being considered fair game married or not. So men cheat, yes they do, but women are not smarter, the men just fail to come to grips with the truth. One question, how many divorce lawyers are there in Africa, especially where our ancestors came from? very few, so Western principles dictates that men should have one woman, while some parts of the motherland said as many as you can manage with your wealth. So if you are poor, then it is a one coal stove burner it will be. Old tribal laws. A woman is not seen worse in my opinion in this day and age. If you use money to get a woman or girl, there will always a guy with more cash than you. It’s the same with most things, if you’re handsome then, there’s always a guy more handsome than you, so it’s a dog eat dog world out there. Women do likes variables, so take comfort guys they are not smarter, just a little more bold in-your-face.
I have never cheated and I am sure there are other women who don’t…………..
I am attractive in face and body and no one is EVER going to say they have had me and laugh at my hubby, so “nuetral Justice” not all attractive women are easy, I know a lot of them are like nasty like that, but I know I am not alone on my issues of morality.
Relationships can be very hard at times and make u want to go mingle else where, its never a smart move, I have got this theory if I cheat on my partner he is cheating on me, I try to keep grounded and faithful to me. Then again Masturbating never kill anyone.
