To think most men would cheat

After feeling lonely lately I joined a pen pal website thinking it would be great to chat to all sorts of people.
I’ve learned pretty quickly that women don’t want to chat on there only the men whom only seem interested in no strings fun off and online with the most married with the same story that there wife doesn’t want sex anymore. Almost every guy I’ve spoken to wants that even sending unwanted pictures/video and sharing there fantasy’s I was doing the school run this morning and couldn’t help but look at the men wondering if they do the same. It’s quite sad but my view on men seems different now

It's a sad sweeping generalisation but I think this is generally true. I've seen groups of men on stag nights and they're all trying to get laid. Even the married ones. Virtually every man I have known has been unfaithful at some point or tried to. Even the good ones. And that's only the ones I know about. I wonder what sordid secrets they might have online. My own husband disagrees with cheating but I know that if he's drunk and gets a hard on he can only think of one thing and if he thought he could get away with it he probably would. Women cheat too but I do think men seem to think they're entitled to.

I agree with you Op.

Does it really need to be pointed out that genitals don't define personality? This stuff comes up so much on here. I'm generally curious to understand what makes people like you, OP, who post this stuff tick?

Do you seriously believe that owning a particular set of genitals means that you must also possess a certain (always negative) type of personality? Have you paid so little attention to the men in your lives that you have somehow become an adult without developing an understanding that men are...y'know....individuals, who are defined by more than their genitals?

Is it that you just hate men, and enjoy a chance to engage in some man-bashing with like-minded misandrists? (And don't get me wrong - there are plenty of misogynist men who love to do the same thing about women!)

Or is it something else?

I'm actually genuinely interested in understanding this, because it is so prevalent on here.

I agree slightly It is too simplistic to tar all men/women with the same brush on account of their gender.

I do think there are a lot of hurt people acting out and misbehaving because they're 'worth it' which in turn can promote a tit for tat situation.
I know of more women who have been unfaithful than men, both during and towards the end of marriages. I know more women who have targeted guys already in relationships because it was a challenge to win. That's not to say I have the full picture; I just dislike stereotyping.
