When is Cheating Cheating?
I heard male & female has different take on what is considered as Cheating. Of course when sex involved it is cheating, most people would agree to that. How about a kiss? a flirt? An emotional closeness? In person or via internet?
A gal friend said kissing is not cheating, an ex said consciously flirting is, for me emotional closeness (I know the different between closeness with your friend and your "friend") is considered cheating but not when it's just unconsciously flirting. Another ex thought if it's online it's not cheating. This bloke I knew kept forgiving his wife for sleeping with other men because 'she cant help it'. While this gal I knew could not even accept her bf talking to other gal without her around.
Is it true, that for most guys what is considered cheating is when it is physically involved and for most gals is when it is more emotionally involved? Is it because a betrayal for a woman hurt her dignity, while for man it offended his manhood?

I'm not so sure if there is that much difference between men and women.
Some men are 'possessive'. They even get upset if their girlfriend or wife takes a casual, social interest in some other man. Or is even jealous the attention she gives to her lady friends.
But the same can be said about "possesive" women.
With one marginal note: my very subjective observation is that the percentage of 'possesive' women is slightly larger than the percentage of 'possessive'men.
I think your observation make sense. Since possessiveness is more to do with feeling than with logic, those who are possessive use more their heart then their head. women tends to listen to their heart more than their head. I am not saying that women are incapable of being logical. Some ladies that I know are far more logical than most guys.
When a person feel guilty, it is cheating. When that person feels nothing about doing it, s/he should consider her/his relationship unless they agreed to have an open relationship....whatever it means.
