So this is kinda on topic.
In my psych research class we have to design and carry out a survey or experiment. My group is examining whether or not people would have more feelings of jealousy if they found out their romantic partner cheated on them with a same sex vs opposite sex individual.
Thoughts? Predictions?

Hmm...I can't say that either sex would offend me more than the other...Though thinking on it more, it seems to me that if my girlfriend were to cheat on me with another woman, I'd probably be more mad.
For JT I might venture that the sex wouldn't matter. Cheating is just horrible, period.

Seems to be a pretty common idea that guys have less of an issue if their partner cheats on them with another girl, but I'm not sure how much truth there is to that  But I'm sure they're enough blokes out there who would be hurt either way. I have no clue about chicks, haha. I'd like to think it'd be equal, but I actually think they may be more bothered by a same sex affair. No real evidence to back it up, except for the fact that society's attitudes towards lesbian relationships and gay ones are pretty different. Girls seem more prone to experimentation (I think the current term is LUG - lesbian until graduation) and as a result girl on girl action is treated with a flippancy that male homosexual relationships don't seem to garner. Long story short, it may be viewed as more serious for your bf to cheat on you with a guy. Though age brackets come into shit as well. There. Pretty certain the amount of truth in there is negligible. Edit: Looking at it from het relationships, at least. |

Well, I think it's because you can use the standby excused of, "It's not me, he/she's gay" and it's more believable than other things. You have cold hard proof of a legitimate excuse there. So maybe you can heal faster or sommat. Who knows. Like Sunshine said, I hate cheating all around.

I dunno, I'm more waiting to see what the results will look like. Most of the research I've seen is that women tend to be more jealous of "emotional affairs" where men tend to be more upset about "physical affairs."
I read an interesting Evolutionary Psychology paper that sought to offer an explanation of why it's more socially acceptable for women to have same sex experimentation. It talked about how once upon a time when men would go hunting for days and weeks on end having a sexual relationship with someone left where your tribe was advantageous because it forged a reciprocal relationship that aided in things like child rearing.
Thoughts on that?

Which is why I think it'd be just as tough to have your male partner cheat on you with a guy - it's a lot more common to view that sort of affair as a serious one, emotionally attached, and indicative of sexual preference, whereas unfortunately the female tendency to experiment can rob it of...legitimacy, I suppose, in the eyes of the society as a whole. In the case of that hunting/tribal theory, a place-mat relationship, until the guy returns. Mutually beneficial. (Not my personal opinion, guys, 'cause I'm aware it's not very PC.)
Not that society ever treats gay relationships as seriously as they deserve, of course. But still.
At least, I remember that one character in Degrassi getting super pissed when she found out her dad cheated on her mum with a guy. More pissed that it was a guy that anything else. S'where I get all my worldly knowledge. Caught an episode the other day, actually. Geeez, they're all super old.
