Are faithful men a myth?

[Blissfultiggy]

Do you think there’s any loyal and faithful men out there?

Not sure about the loyal and faithful part. I think there are a lot of men who are just too apathetic to bother with it. Then there are those shit scared of what would happen should they be caught. So, these groups don’t. Not sure that leaves many left over tbh.

Of course they do.

Whilst any man or woman can be unfaithful, I truly believe my dad and my husband (whom I've known since I was 14) fall firmly in the faithful camp.

Yeah, ugly ones!

I used to run conferences around the world, and from watching the delegates, I'd say about half of all attendees would couple up for a night or two. That might be with other attendees, other hotel guests or take advantage of local paid services.

The positive side is that up to 50% might be faithful.

And I do think they're in the minority. Men tend to be as faithful as their options.

Yes they exist, but you aren't going to hear about them much or find them on a dating site very often. I snapped up mine age 19!

Of course not! Decent human beings are thankfully in in majority in my world. None of my friends, male or female have had an affair ASAIK

I think thats a faulty syllogism

More of my female friends have been unfaithful than males that I know.

Of course they exist. I know lots of them. My lovely late dad was one, married and faithful to my mother for over 60 years. All their friends were/are married to the same person for over 50 years, never a hint of infidelity. My cousins, brothers in law, all with their wives for 40 odd years, same with the husbands of most of my close friends for that length of time. My son in his 30s has been with his wife for 13 years, same with the majority of his close friends. One of their friendship group did cheat on his wife and they divorced. Just luck I suppose but infidelity doesn't happen much in my circles( not at all religious or anything like that).

Agree, I was with the sweet, gentle would never cheat guy for over a decade. Until he cheated.

No they are not a myth.

The whole 'men are unfaithful' thing also never seems to realise that those who are unfaithful are generally being unfaithful with women. Shock horror, quite a lot of those women are also married/partnered

I presume you don’t look at attractive men when you are in his company either

It makes me wonder why you're asking.

But of course there are. My husband was married previously, looked after his late wife as she got progressively more ill, looked after the kids, never looked at another woman. We met a few years after she died and have been together 10 years. He's a good man and we both agree that cheating would be the end of our relationship.

TLDR - find the ones playing Warhammer and computer games

@pikkumyy77 i would like to thank you for introducing me to the word and concept syllogism. I have really enjoyed reading about it. I love a new word.

Are all these men cheating with single women!

It takes 2 to tango

Oh, get a grip.

So you hold a single woman as responsible as an attached man? Nah.

Yes, I’m married to one.

Yes they exist. They probably have slightly lower testosterone and a lower sex drive than the average man. So it's a tossup.

I think it’s based on personality. My husband on paper is/was not my type. My type however, meant chronic cheating/flirting/generally unfaithful and shit.

My now husband is someone who I never thought I’d date, we’re 11 years in now with two kids and we’ve never had any woes. He’s generally one of the good ones. Supportive, does more than his share of chores, doesnt act like a babysitter to the kids when I’m busy, can amicably resolve any disagreements we have without being a dick. I feel like I got really lucky tbh 😂 I can safely sit with my friends and not have any input while they moan about their partners 😅

Is that the same for women? That attractive women are cheats?

You could say the same about women, some are faithful, some aren't.

For what it's worth all the men I know are decent, honest, wonderful people.

Not all men cheat. Those that don’t (plenty in my family and friendships) are usually men who have integrity across a range of personal values.

Incredibly sexist thing to say. Maybe you are attracted to the wrong sort.
