Men vs. woman on gossip, cheating and more

Men vs. woman on gossip, cheating and more - TODAY: Relationships - MSNBC.com: "Are men born to cheat? Do women prefer lavish dinners rather than just kicking back? Marnie Hanel of Tango magazine and Jordan Burchette of Maxim.com go head-to-head to debate myths about the opposite sex.

Men are more likely to cheat.
Tango says: We’re not about to play innocent when it comes to infidelity, but we’re also not going to stand in the way of science. All the research points in the same direction: men are marginally more likely to succumb to temptation than women are. Maybe this is because men seem to get away with cheating (see: Charlie Sheen, Jack Nicholson, Jude Law), and women seem to be publicly humiliated for it (see: Hester Prynne, Anna Nicole Smith.) Although we’re not any less likely to dream up fantasies involving the hot new cubicle-mate and an empty office, but we are less likely to indulge them. That said, when the going gets tough, women will spill their secrets, problems, and concerns to another man. It may not have the sizzle of a passionate affair, but emotional infidelity can also burn a relationship."
