Why Guys Cheat - Three Common Reasons

Growing up with three sisters and having a lot of girl friends, I have always heard girls ask the question "Why did he cheat on me?" Well I'm going to tell you some possibilities of why he felt the need to cheat.

Coming from experience of being a jackass to girls during high school and hanging around guys that cheated all the time, there could have been many things wrong.

They Want to Push the Limits
A lot of guys use the excuse, "I was having doubts about the relationship, so I did it to see if she really cared" or "I was drunk and do not remember." These are just lies. One of the main reasons most guys cheat is because they want to see how much they can get away with before they lose their girlfriend. There's always the instance that the girls will break up with them but take them right back. Which, in most cases, the guy will just claim they will "never do it again."

Boredom
Another reason that guys may cheat is because they get bored with the relationship and want to explore other options. I am sure that most girls will hear the statement "I want to go on a break." or "I think we should hang out with our friends more and take time away from each other." These are just excuses they use so guys can mess around with other girls.

Scared of Commitment
Finally, a reason a lot of guys will not admit but it is true, is that they are scared to commit themselves. A lot of guys don't like the idea of getting too attached to one person in fear of getting hurt. So they cheat to push the girl away. That's probably the most common reason a guy will cheat on you.

But I'm not saying that this is true for everyone. In most situations, these are the most common excuses that my guy friends and I have used in the past. Girls, do not fall for these excuses!

S8tr1234 This just makes me loathe and have little faith in men. but your article speaks for a lot of men out there. *sigh* - More than a year ago
OnoNw1 Thanks for the write up. I do want to call to attention to girls that it is possible to be a 'slut' and then have surgery to reduce the consequences from sleeping around too much. There are a lot of good looking guys and guys who smell nice, don't just stick with one loser who will eventually cheat on you. but do know if you have a good apple on your hands. - More than a year ago
Miss-October I agree with your points and have been witness and sometimes victim to all of them. I really believe that if men really knew what and how we women do the same exact things they do, they would gag and pass out. As long as men don't think women are capable of being beasts when it comes to cheating and getting away with it, they won't stop and think about it before they do it. - More than a year ago
lvrgirl2011 I just have to ask, have YOU personally ever used any of these excuses? Lol. - More than a year ago
NotSoBad Funny I have met girls who do the exact same thing to men. - More than a year ago
The-Nash I would call pushing the limits=selfishness(maybe to a person's spontaneous side), boredom=no self discipline/self contro/lack of effort, and scared of commitment=cowardice actions. But I think it all starts from not taking the relationship seriously. - More than a year ago
Chevybabyy95 My boyfriend cheated on me when he was drunk and he said his best friend made him to do it and I just old him to shut up. but I didn't break up with him because I knew I was just going to get back with him you are soo right bout gurls are just gunna be back with him, because I totally would've done that no matter what because I'm in love with him ha. - More than a year ago
