Is it True ??

Heyes

Well after talking to a couple guy friends, they have informed me that even if a guy is in a good relationship, he will stray if he s not getting everything he wants, no matter how much he cares for the girl...

What do you think? Is this true in your opinion ? :rolleyes:

Well considering that the idea of love is an imaginary feeling designed so humans can procreate, as long as the instincts are fulfilled the person could stray. Especially if he's drunk. Scientific, apparently.

The only difference between us and animals is that we ask such questions, a wiser man than me once told me. Our instincts remain the same essentially.

its true.... 90% of the time, you can hit lucky and get that 10% of guys...

Let me guess who one of them was?


you give a guy every thing he needs, within reason - hes not going anywhere heyes.

It is not.

Imo, if it happens it is becuase the offender isn't loyal enough to their partner...in that case, the relationship was doomed from the start.

I've seen the biggest players and cheaters stop once they met a girl they were actually happy with, as in, loved very much etc...

I'd say if a guy does this it's obviously not a very good relationship

Heyes

Id have to agree, i was suprised when i heard one of the lads say this, i just really didnt think thats how guys thought, in fairness i dont think most do, but was still suprised.

RoundyMooney

Takes all sorts I spose'

Even cynics.

crazymonkey

Don't beleive its true, if the relationship is good and fulfilling, I think most guys would not stray, imo

projectmayhem

tbh i wouldn't and most of my mates in relationships wouldn't "stray" either. it'd have to be a fairly crap relationship if that were to happen

jimmycrackcorm

It#s partially true imho. Most guys in a steady good realtionship will certainly fantasize or think about straying but might not take the actual step.

Certainly guys will regard having sex as an action seperate from any emotional relationship. It's a bit like going to the chip shop for a bag of chips....

Depends on the guy to be honest. Ive never ever done the dirt on any of my girlfriends, never even been close to doing the dirt on them. And i never will do the dirt on anybody.

dundalk cailin

Dont think all guys are like this, for example your male friends might have a different personality/ies to other guys!
Although in my own experience, ive had a male friend make a move on me on a night out (minus the GF), i said no, but he's all lovey dovey with this girl every other time i see him. he might have had a few in him, and left the ball n chain at home, but still!

Yes, it's all true. All men are the same - every single one of them - and can all be pidgeonholed into whatever is the current fashionable slight against them. All men are bastards, etc etc.

You're a disgrace to the stereotype. Quit wasting time and drink more crap beer, watch soccer, hit someone for no reason, belch and fart loudly for the sake of comedy and treat women like objects purely made for domestic and sexual purposes.

I certainly wouldn't take it seriously. whoever these guys were, they were speaking about themselves. You better watch the male company you keep Heyes

Hold on, you were shocked to hear that some men would tend to stray if they aren't getting what they want? Would you be equally as shocked to hear that women are capeable of it too?

Amazingly some men & women can stray even when they're getting what they want from their respective partners. People are wierdos and their actions generally can't be explained.

good old sterotypin hayes....different strokes for different folks eh, couldntcha agree?

To heyes & Sico,

That's a complete crock of sh!t, a man who is in a loving relationship will not stray. My first gf cheated on me, it doesn't mean that I go around saying that all women are sluts and that they should die or that I'd never trust another woman. If I were to do that, I'd never have found my current gf of 5 years whom I live with. You're always going to come across arseholes in life that'll cheat but they'll be both male or female.

Once again we've another generalisation on Boards but I suppose it's time that men got a good bashing though

She wasn't generalising, she was just putting forth a topic for discussion. She said this is what she heard, then asked is this what you think.

Apologies but her friends basically hung the rest of us out to dry because they can't have any loyalty to one woman, the jerks :mad:

MOst of the blokes here are early 20's and probably happy with their partners...and not yet bored of them..when you get older you will take every oppertunity you get...as long as you can get away with it...if no one knows whats the harm

if a man strays it's his gf's fault!

Of course it's true for some guys. It's true for some girls as well! But that wouldn't be me, if I wasn't enjoying a relationship, then I'd leave, rather than cheat.

el tel

It's like everything in life, if you have something that's good but then something better comes along - you are either going to want that too
or want it instead. (Good's good, but better's better)

If what you had in the first place dosen't provide 'everything you want' (as the OP stated) then if that want is a big enough itch then you are just going to have to scratch it.

LegacyUser

Well unless every man in the world was asked , and answered that question, and the results were then published as part of comprehansive medical research, then I can only assume that your friend is talking absolute bollox.

Is it true? No!

Seriously, of course there are some men who will walk if they aren't getting everything they want, in the same way that there are some women who will walk if they don't get everything that they want.

But for every guy who will walk there is a guy who will stick around.

Besides, if people could only communicate better with each other then perhaps discussing needs and wants could lead to no one walking out through lack of satisfaction.

MrScruff

First:

a man who is in a loving relationship will not stray

Then:

Once again we've another generalisation on Boards

What is wrong with this picture?

I love that quote

Its such a subjective field...
Those who say they could stray or think that men would stray in general, have probabaly never been truly 'in love' per se.
I would think when you love someone unconditionally and entirely, you would not be able to physically allow yourself to damage your relationship by straying. As I said though, its subjective. I can only speak for one. :rolleyes:

Well not really, everyone loves the closness, caring, having a laugh and caring for that person, but love just comes and smacks you in the face when you least expect it... granted that might sound a little soppy, but sure hey :rolleyes: , so i would have to disagree slightly with the fact that people are only in love with the idea of being in love.

What about a person who falls in love without looking for it?
Can see your point, but no I wouldn't say that one is true Daddio.

I know what your saying Daddio. Deffo. No doubt certain types are in love with the 'idea' of being in love. They will strive for it in their relationships, but not neccessarily find it. When you genuinely fall for someone I think its usually unplanned and uncontrollable. It can't be forced OR avoided if you know what I mean. but there is definately a crew who 'dream' of it and 'yearn' for it.

What you do is, see, you mistake the concept of "love" with the concept of "Finding someone as lonely and desperate as you are for sex", and before you know it you're single again and waiting in line at the clinic. It's magical, really. *sniffle*

Siogfinsceal

what a horrible way of thinking. Not every guy cheats you cant tar everyone with the same brush. hell, I know plenty of guys who are now at the opinion that every girl cheats! theres plenty of guys out there who when they find the right person, they stick with them

Tell me its not true.. please ..sniff..


What is about people - their relationship ends, they can't just say 'well it mustn't have been right anyway' .
But no no no. best thing to do there is become bitter and twisted, and take it out on on anyone of the opposite gender.
