Women are still lagging behind men in at least one area ... rule-breaking. According to recent studies, men have lower moral standards than women, especially when they have to defend their manhood, Scientific American reports.
Studies show that men are more likely than women to minimize the consequences of moral misconduct; to adopt ethically questionable tactics in strategic endeavors; and to engage in greater deceit, Scientific American reports. In other words, whether you're engaging in a business deal or choosing a life partner, you might be better off trusting a woman.
Guys are especially likely to be "immoral" in when success means proving their masculinity -- and yes, the workplace and the playing field both come to mind. But we have to wonder: Are guys more likely to engage in this sort of behavior because they're still more likely to be competing in these arenas than women? Or are men intrinsically more immoral? What do you think?

Yet men were 50/50.
Hmmmm...
I may be wrong though, this is just based on personal experiences
I'm assuming you are a teenage lesbian? I don't mean that to be condescending at all, but you did state your opinion as being based on personal experiences, & it seems your experiences are based on one issue & having to do with girls ditching you (or whomever). Older adults would have many more experiences to draw from.
That is true, I guess. .3. You do make a good point, and i'm not sure how else to answer that. I think the main problem is that i've been homeschooled all my life and as such the only experience I really have with boys is my brother and the guys at drama club, the latter of which are generally ncie guys (is a little annoyin) and the former...is my brother. So I don't actually have that much expereince with guys at all, and being that my mother is a somewhat biast feminist I'm really not sure if what she says about men is ture or not.
Yes to the teenage, no to the lesbian. o3o I'm not entirely sure what I am yet but there's definitely some heterosexuality in there somewhere |D The dtiching referred to friendships more than relationships; I didn't make that very clear, did I? What I meant was that I've had a lot of girls call myself their friend and then next week they're ignoring me or being nasty and then there's me with no clue what I did wrong. .3. I've not actually been in a realtionship...I have tried but the last guy who asked me out...was a bit old for me. o3o
EDIT: Happy late July 4th btw
There are males & females out here (well, maybe not too many on SH, lol) who have good values & manners. They ARE becoming extinct, but if you work on being the BEST person YOU can be, you will attract a better quality of people. I didn't find any "true North" people until I met the person who was to become my husband at the ripe old age of "19" (& we've been married almost 39 yrs), and if people are being honest with you, they will tell you that in your lifetime, you will be fortunate & blessed if you are able to find one or two true friends who will support you through thick & thin, & who will be honest with you, even if it hurts momentarily.
Do what is right, no matter how others' perceive you, because you will never have any regrets, & later in life you will stand out as a role model & mentor for others who have not been so fortunate to get good advice or mentoring when they were young.
In regard to dating, here's my advice (yea, I know you didn't ask, lol, but I'm not charging for it, so ...: 1) Don't date anyone you wouldn't consider marrying, because you can't always help who you f...&

Hope that helps, & I hope you had a Happy July 4th, & I wish you a good weekend!
Not sure what to say to any of this o3o apart from that. Thanks for the dating advice, I was intending to do 3 anyway. Not a teen mom sort of girl.
As much as I try to listen to my mom I kind of have to take some of the stuff she says about guys with a pinch of salt if you will; I think she exaggerates them a little.
Anyway thanks, I'll definitely take this on board~ <3
We have a Hadith (from the prophet Mohamed) , Paradise is the waiting home of Mothers (at the end of their earth's life)
I guess moral relativism comes into play when answering questions like these. If one doesn't think certain things are immoral, then they're not likely to assign those behaviors to someone. IMO, men & women are equal when it comes to immoral behavior.
