More loyal, girls or guys?

    I'm not gonna go out and give one definitive answer. I'm just gonna post my two cents and each sex can argue their side.

    It's my contention that guys are more loyal creatures than girls. It comes down to what is bred into us. I'll take football teams for example. When you pick your team, it's your team for life. Every footie fan knows this and would rather stop watching football all together than to start supporting another team.

    The same happens throughout everyday life. Whatever school / college you went to, you felt that surge of pride when they'd win in sport. You'd defend your college in the UCD / TCD wars. You'd still cheer your school rugby team despite crushing defeat after crushing defeat.

    Sure even two of my mates had an argument last week of Budweiser Vs Heineken. And through one of the stupidest of rants you could ever hear, the one resounding opinion from each of them was 'well I've been a Bud / Hino man my whole life, I aint gonna change now'.

    I think guys are the same in relationships. When you have a long term girlfriend, she is your property. As you are hers. You are loyal to her as you've made a committment to her and you like to see it out. Like you would a football team / a rugby team etc.

    I am not under any circumstance saying that ALL guys will be loyal. I am just saying we are more used to staying loyal than girls are.

    I just think we get a bad rep because guys are less subtle at cheating. The few bad apples that do the dirt on a long term girlfriend are given a much worse rep than girls that cheat on a long term boyfriend because it comes to the forefront in more cases. If a guy cheats, all the girls mates line up against him and the guy is the scum of the earth. If a girl cheats, she keeps it a lot more quiet because the guy is less likely to cause an outlandish scene and brandish her as the 'traitor'.

    Opinions?
