I did some research on the internet about signs of women cheating and they list either so many as to interpret every single action as unfaithfulness or they barely touch the surface of each issue to get you to buy some product...

What are some signs of a woman's infidelity?

changes in patterns. staying out later after work or school? not returning phone calls or texts as she did before. being secretive if she wasn't before.

The best gauge any man has on this issue is his gut. It is your gyroscope of life. Regardless of whatever is going on around it or in your head, it will never mislead you. Trust your compass.

As for external signs, there are many.

1. A withdraw in her attention and her interest in you seeming to cool off.

2. Her natural relationship protection devices are deactivated, when this happens she will start stupid fights with you, say things she would not normally say, make no attempt to impress you, etc. When she stops trying, it's a bad sign.

3. Sketchy behavior coupled with a guilty conscience. Attempts to project said guilt onto you.

There are others, but the most important one is your gut feeling. Never ignore it. We are only ever in pain when our gut (reality) is in conflict with our mind (ego).

There are many threads on here about cheating. Go through them, they are golden examples of what men should and shouldn't do in these situations.

She will always seem just a little too busy for you.

Your sex life will crash and burn. If you have any at all, it will be cold and passionless. Your porn star girlfriend will suddenly seem more like a bored hooker.

She will stop making references to getting married and settling down...with anyone, at least while you're around. Your girl might have told you before that she wanted a fairy tale life, but after doing another guy behind your back, suddenly she will begin asserting that she is "not the marrying type."

She will also say things like "you know if you did meet someone else and cheated on me, as long as it was just sex and you really didn't care about them, then I would probably be ok with it."

In addition to the above postsers, here are some signs I've picked up on in the past:

They leave the room to make phone calls.
Late night texting/phone calls.
Start working out all of the sudden.
Girls' nights out.
Resumes grooming habits when she was single (nails, makeup, etc).
"He's just a friend".
Starts taking longer to get in contact.

The most common sign is changes in her habits.

Stays on the computer after you've gone to bed
You tend to get her VM when you call her while she's out "shopping"
Your land line rings, you pick up, there's a hang up.
Her story about a past event changes
She doesn't leave her cell phone lying out and about anymore
Oops, she forgot to watch the clock and it's late now so she's staying at her "GF's" place
She wears her Victoria's Secret underwear to work
****roaches start taking notes from her on how to cover their tracks

She goes out until all hours of the morning with her 'girls'.
She sporadically returns calls and texts
SHe always has other plans when you ask her to do something
She seems to have little care about the outcome of your relationship. I.e.--nothing really phases her.

OR, she could be screwing some other guy without you ever having a clue. I am a firm believer that women cheat as much or more than men; simply because they are more deft at not getting caught, and justifying it to themselves afterwards.

All those are tell-tale signs, but it's really a non-issue. If you're with a woman that is constantly showing low interest and disrespect, it shouldn't ever matter whether or not she's physically unfaithful.

There is a undue significance placed on cheating as a dealbreaker. Most men will agree that cheating justifies ending a relationship--what about all the stuff that leads up to the act of cheating?

Men that cheat will do it regardless of how happy they are in their current relationship. Women aren't like that--unless you've got a psycho (which is possible, don't get me wrong), her cheating is really just branch-swinging prematurely. In other words, she's already made up her mind that she doesn't want to be with you. A woman that truly values a relationship will not jeopardize its future by cheating.

If everything in your relationship is fine and dandy, you have no reason to watch for signs of infidelity. If things are bad, infidelity on her part is certainly possible, but it is STILL a waste of energy trying to catch her in the act. If you're to blame for her low interest, try to address the problem by acting less AFC. If she's to blame, dump her. Scrutinizing her behavior for signs of cheating is counterproductive to the goal of raising her interest level at best, and a pathetic way of clinging to a dead relationship because she "technically hasn't done anything wrong" at worst.

You can't really trust your gut to tell you that she's cheating, but you can trust your gut to tell you when something's amiss in your relationship. That's all you need to know, IMO.

Given the hypothetical choice, I would rather have a cheating girlfriend that nonetheless treated me like a king and showed me all the love and affection in the world than a disrespectful, disinterested, resentful yet faithful one. This choice will always remain hypothetical, however, because the first option doesn't exist.

Who cares if she is cheating? You should be seeing other women too.

There is no reason to commit to any one girl in today's dating world.

You need to start enjoying the variety of women in your life, and all of these nut-numbing issues such as "signs of cheating" will become NON-ISSUES

Don't play the game, be ABOVE the game

No it's NOT funny! This is serious business! It explains a lot, actually! I always wondered why her hair was all clumpy when she worked late! And to think I would steal whiffs of it when she wasn't looking... now it's clear what I have to do!

BRB FBI!

When you suspect something- and she refuses to show you her phone (this is serious level commitment- fiance, wife).

Abrupt changes in behavior.
Abrupt changes in sexual patterns.
Acts distant.
Calls you the wrong name. (you get use to saying another name alot- this might happen)
Goes out to see "people" (friends, family etc)- objects and refuses to let you come meet her.

Lots really.

if men stopped being so emotional (which is the women's job), and started being logical, cheating would be very easy to catch

The biggest tipoff is a change in behavior. Without exception, whenever I have noticed a chick not coming over as often or not calling at the time she would usually call, she was up to no good.

Note- this is when you act indifferent and let her start to chase you.

If you're in a serious relationship- this is when you start taking serious steps towards treating her as a sperm recipticle- protect your heart at this point.

But when does a cheating girlfriend ever treats someone she cheats on like a king? unless she is fearing for her life...

Although you did bring out an interesting point, which I think can bring about farther discussion in the topic which I am about to bring up.

Lets get to the bottom of this and play a little bit devi's advocate here: WHY IS CHEATING BAD?

Forget about worrying about STD's for a second but when it comes to the woman you are seeing, if she cheats on you then could the reason this revelation causes so much grief is because of the "shuttered ego" above everything else? Is a woman viewed as property in a relationship and as result is tainted if she is shared?! If the grief is as result of a relationship that is about to end then wouldn't it be more "a blessing in disguise" that you found the hard way the girl you spend your time/money with ain't worth it anymore?

Because it destroys our trust in her. As men we're wired to find a woman "lovable" when we think she's going to have our babies and our babies alone. If she' cheating, even in this day of DNA tests, our emotial response is wired to distrust her and feel deeply hurt- regardless of what our conscious mind has to say about it.

Its just our animal nature.
