Please explain why the word sociopath is being used in connection with "guilt".

a sociopath is defined as "a person, as a psychopathic personality, whose behavior is antisocial and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience."

You wake up the day after your 21st birthday party and your friend tells you that you cheated on your girlfriend. You have no recollection of the event as you were drunk.

(I am not taking sides, just trying to forward the discussion. And, no. This didn't ever happen.)

He cheated because he wanted to cheat. Alcohol was the excuse. If he Deny's to himself that he cheated out of free will (the truth) and says its the alcohol, then he will likely feel guilty. He knows the truth deep down, but by not facing it, the guilt creeps in. Not guilt because he cheated but guilt because he is unwilling to face the truth of what he really wants...

Because a classic sociopathic trait is the inability to feel guilt. Tada.

Sociopathic tendencies (which is a word not even used anymore diagnostically) is just an umbrella expression covered a wide range of lack of disregard for common norms, ethics and indifference to the fate other people and the consequences of your actions towards them. The common denominator amongst sociopaths is a lesser range of emotions than is usual.

why would he feel guilty because he doesn't want to face the truth of what he really wants? you're suggesting he can't feel guilty for doing what he wants to do (cheating) but he does feel guilty for not doing what he doesn't want to do (face the truth of what he really wants).

If you do what you want to do openly and freely and with no shame then you will not feel guilty, ever. That is not to say that what you choose to do doesn't have consequences.

If you look to men to tell you what to believe, what to do, when to piss, what to say, how to act, whats right and whats wrong etc etc...then they have your mind and free will under control. Good and bad is not the point.

Err, is that a reply to me? Being a sociopath has nothing to do with good or bad, right or wrong.
