The Male Perspective: Statistically, historically, and according to data from General Social Survey (GSS), men have traditionally reported higher rates of infidelity. Reasons cited often range from “evolutionary” excuses to a lack of emotional satisfaction.
The Female Perspective: Recent data shows the gap is closing, especially among younger generations. Studies on The Institute for Family Studies suggest that women may cheat more for emotional connection or “exit-affairs” when a relationship has broken down.
Comparison: While men have the “historical lead” in reported cheating, modern research suggests that the “cheating gap” is narrowing as social stigmas change. Ultimately, studies like those found on Psychology Today suggest that why they cheat often differs more than how much they cheat.
