Half of men would forgive their female partner's infidelity, as long as it was with another woman, according to a new study on cheating. Women, however, were less likely to forgive and forget if their boyfriend had been with another man, the University of Texas at Austin study showed. Researchers asked 718 college students to imagine being in a long-term relationship and what their reactions would be to several different cheating scenarios. They found that overall, 50 percent of men would likely continue a relationship with a woman who had a dalliance with another woman, while 22 percent said they could forgive betrayal with another man. For women, the results were reversed. If their boyfriend cheated with another woman, 28 percent said they'd keep him around, but only 21 percent said they would if he cheated with another man. Published this month in the journal "Personality and Individual Differences," the study concluded the participant's reactions were based on basic jealousy instincts. "A robust jealousy mechanism is activated in men and women by different types of cues -- those that threaten paternity in men and those that threaten abandonment in women," said Jaime Confer, the study's lead author and a PhD candidate in evolutionary psychology. Men, they said, felt more threatened by a rival male because of paternity uncertainty, whereas they saw a female partner's homosexual affair as "an opportunity to mate with more than one woman simultaneously, satisfying men's greater desire for more partners." Mark Cloud, one of the study co-authors, stressed in an interview that the homosexual infidelity scenario they asked participants to imagine was very rare in reality. So, the researchers asked participants about their real experiences with cheating. There again, men showed less tolerance of cheating than women. "Men were significantly more likely than women to have ended their actual relationships following a partner's affair," according to the study. So what say you Spikers, are you cool with your girlfriend cheating with another girl? Any female Spikers have an opinion on this? (I'm sure there are some) ----- Source ----- I personally wouldn't mind either -_-
Boys' fantasies are usually girl on girl actions so I wouldn't find it suspicious that the study came out to be that true. But what is worse, to find out that your girlfriend cheated on you with a girl and decided to become a bi who is interested in women more? How would you feel then after you have taken her back and she continued with it lol
People use the word "gay" to describe everything stupid, lame.. but in fact they enjoy homosexual in some form or another.. like Bulla said [YOUTUBE]_gdCjQw6Lb8[/YOUTUBE] I dont know, this video came up in my mind when i read this post.
that is without saying... Still, I don't think I would take someone like that as a long term relationship down the road, cheating is still cheating.
LMAO the guys that think it is a great thing is so short sighted. so what if you get dumped. you are going to be proud your girl not only dump you, but not even for another guy but a girl? and then you are known as the guy that turn girls away from men? is that worth bragging? i think it is worse.
I don't know about other people but I won't tolerate it even if it's girl on girl. We're talking about long-term potential; not another casual fling.
hahaha still funny. "oh ya dude. girl on girl is so hot, so who cares if she cheated. wait what? people are saying im so trash i actually turn girls away from our whole GENDER?.........."
As a boyfriend, true I don't mind if my girl cheat me for another girl, as long I see that action and enjoy it =P But I ugess that won't happen xD
