He would cash his paycheck on a Friday night and be the hot looking rich guy at the bar that night.<br /><br />Men who really are rich can get away with cheating for longer periods of time because they pacify people with their wealth. And because the wives of public figures are loathe to admit that their husbands may have been cheating on them. <br /><br />Common folks, in my opinion, commit adultery just as often if not more than famous people. But men do most of the cheating.cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07717256091553930518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-68775286162024915382011-05-26T17:36:38.935-04:002011-05-26T17:36:38.935-04:00Don't hold back Kathy! :) Just kidding, your a...Don't hold back Kathy! :) Just kidding, your article is 'right on'.

If so, it doesn't translate into other aspects of life. After all, even you admit you'd just lie if asked about real marital indiscretions. If the difference between you and the men criticized were really a difference in "ethics," why wouldn't you embrace truth telling under such circumstances?<br /><br />I think as it relates to politicians, movie stars, etc., it's much simpler than you portray. Money and power are aphrodisiacs and men tend to have more of both. The issue is not so much their attitudes of entitlement as others' attitudes toward them: They have a lot more opportunities than the rest of us.<br /><br />For those lower on the socioeconomic scale, while some of the things you mention may be a factor, I'd add one to the list: My observation from several friends I can think of whose marriages ended is that the reported motivation for infidelity was relative (or total) inactivity in the marital bed compared to earlier in the relationship. One may have a "beautiful, educated, cultured wife," but those factors only exacerbate the situation if 15 years in she'll rarely have sex anymore. For all its faults, porn has arguably saved many a marriage.Gritsforbreakfasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10152152869466958902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-24299603870091427872011-05-25T09:04:53.643-04:002011-05-25T09:04:53.643-04:00Obviously, it isn't ONLY men in power that che...Obviously, it isn't ONLY men in power that cheat, but "power" is also a subjective term. Upper management, someone's boss is also "in power" but might not be as high profile as the DBs you mentioned. :)Katy Englandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03594739287002253128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-27587358797804675382011-05-25T09:03:47.187-04:002011-05-25T09:03:47.187-04:00Of course, there is going to be a skew, but it rea...Of course, there is going to be a skew, but it really seems to me like it's men in power that cheat. Something happens to these men's brains (or maybe it's the same thing that makes them good at being "in power"). There does seem to be a certain level of douche-baggery you need to have to be in these positions of power, and cheating seems to go hand in hand with it.<br /><br />I'm married and not even a little worried about my husband cheating. I'm friends with some really upstanding men who would never cheat on their spouses or significant others. I don't think all men are pigs, I truly don't. However, it is looking like most men in power are.<br /><br />I'd be curious to explore how many women in power cheat. There's obviously going to be a difference because there are more men than women in power.Katy Englandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03594739287002253128noreply@blogger.com
