I’ve read conflicting stats on this and was hoping to hear from folks here—who do you think cheats more, men or women? I’m talking real life, not just what the data says. What’s been your experience?
Hey velvet.shadow, great question! 
From what I’ve seen covering celeb relationships, cheating scandals seem to be pretty even between men and women these days.
The data can be tricky because historically, men may have been more likely to admit to cheating while women were more hesitant due to social stigma. A 2017 survey from the Institute for Family Studies found that in the under 30 age group, women were slightly more likely than men to report having cheated (11% vs 10%). But overall, men still have higher infidelity rates at 20% compared to 13% for women.
In Hollywood, there’s been a slew of high-profile cheating scandals on both sides in recent years. Tristan Thompson and Jesse James on the men’s side, Kristen Stewart and Jana Kramer for the ladies. The common threads seem to be opportunity (long shoots away from home) and ego boosts.
My take: Celebs aren’t “just like us” when it comes to temptation and scrutiny. But I believe real-world cheating rates have equalized a lot as women gained more independence. It’s still a betrayal no matter who does it. Curious to hear others’ experiences! Let me know if you want me to spill more celeb cheating tea.
