A clue to why Jesse James cheated on Sandra Bullock may be found in a new study that says men are more likely to cheat on women who earn more money than them.

Men who are completely economically dependent on their female partners are five times more likely to cheat than men in relationships with women who earned similar amounts, according to the the study's author, Christin Munsch, a sociology Ph.D. candidate at Cornell University.

Women making more money than men may threaten the male's traditional view of being the breadwinner, says Munsch.

So what financial situation would make men more likely to be faithful?

Men in relationships with women who made about 75 percent of the men's income were the least likely to cheat, said the study.

..."threaten the male's traditional view of being the breadwinner"; more likely, in my opinion, threaten their ego and self-esteem.

I wonder if this might be centered on the desire to feel needed and important.

I think you should change your attitude about men...then change your diaper.

LOL.... I haven't been here for like a year and this is the first thing that jumps out at me. Thanks kaneman for never changing in a world where everything always changes.




The truth is, some men are more prone to cheating than others... also, some women are more prone to cheating than others.

What EVERYBODY needs to do is to keep in mind that with this study, and all scientific studies, like all political polls, there is a controlled environment. A controlled environment is necessary for the experiment to have any merit of course, but it can also be, and often is, controlled to the point of being able to milk the desired results.

I've got a theory that since women have been going to work and leaving the old role of being caretaker of the house that divorce rates have jumped significantly and the amount of kids that need ritalin or prozac or zoloft has increased at the same pace.

I'm sure that half of you could spin facts to prove my point beyond a shadow of a doubt, and that the other half of you could spin it so I look like the most sexest relic still to be found in 2010.

Men SAY that taking care of kids and running the house is "important". But the fact is they disrespect it SO much that to suggest that a MAN do it is considered a terrible insult, a personal affront, and a symbol of powerlessness. Women who are "housewives" are seen (by men) as lesser beings, because what housewives "bring" to the marriage is so much less than what men bring, the bargain is that men are buying something of a sex slave... a high-priced whore, if you will.

OTOH, when women work outside of the house they are STILL despised... as job-stealers.
