Why do men cheat?

[liberty_5_3000]

I've heard of many men in great relationships with beautiful women that they love end up cheating on them usually with someone less attractive that literally means nothing to them. Why risk something so special?

[Fitness-Fanatic]

A person's circumstances/
situation doesn't determine if someone will cheat or not... their character does.

People cheat because they lack willpower, they have no self-control over their desires and emotions. So opportunity controls their loyalty when they feel they're in a vulnerable position. i. e seduced by a beautiful woman/man or if they are unhappy within their relationship etc

SOME people who are in love and happy will cheat, and not everyone who is unhappy in their relationship will cheat.

People who cheat justify infidelity with excuses, but the sole reason for cheating , under any circumstances, is because of a persons lack of self-control and willpower. They are weak people

[BrittBratt2416]

A lot guys can't resist getting attention from other women even if the relationship their in now is fine and especially if it doesn't happen often to them. If she's beautiful and attractive, it makes it even harder for them to turn away cause some men like the idea of another woman wanting to sleep with them cause it's exciting. It makes them feel attractive, desired, and let's them know if the current relationship flames out, they still have options. It could also be other things, such as lack of sex, lack of connection, don't feel loved, bored. But sometimes it's just wanting to have two desserts instead of one or just waiting until someone better come along

[JulieXO]

The sex might not be good enough with their girlfriend and it doesn't satisfy them. Their relationship might be so perfect it's boring, so they look for excitement elsewhere. They might just be doing it because it's forbidden and gives them a thrill. There are soo many possible reasons. Also, it's not just the men who cheat, I'm pretty sure women do it just as often.

[LifeEqualsLove]

I always had some issues in my head about this question. Here are some of my possibilities:
-Not enough sex in current relationship
- Wants to know if they're still attractive to other woman
- Tempted by other woman
-Not happy
- Wants a reason to leave
-Commitment phobia
-Doesn't care about current relationship.. Just wants to have sex

Thanks this is one of the best answers so far

[CallMeDave]

I personally don't think that many men in a great relationship with a beautiful woman that they love would risk that by cheating. My opinion is that most cheaters are not in a great relationship (even if it looks that way from the outside). I think a guy that cheats is either not really committed to his partner (which is a relationship problem) or that there are other significant problems in the relationship. Those problems could be emotional issues or incompatibility in sex drives (he wants a lot and his partner doesn't), but I think there has to be something wrong - either with the guy or with the relationship - before a man will cheat.

[InfoBot]

Your question would be better received if you asked why people cheat rather than singling out men. Women cheat too and the numbers are pretty much equal.

That aside, people cheat for vanity, insecurity and the need for validation. They also cheat because they are too lazy to fix the problems in their relationship and prefer to invest in escapism.

[liberty_5_3000]

Yeah women cheat to a lot but I'm specifically talking about cheating when in a good relationship, I mean yes it's a stereotype but stereotypes become stereotypes for a reason

[liberty_5_3000]

Do you know the word for a male mistress because I don't but everyone knows what a mistress is

[InfoBot]

Sterotypes can become stereotypes because of misinformation and malicious rumours, not to mention because of outright prejudice. To think that all stereotypes have a basis in fact would be naive.

The fact that there is no word for a male mistress has nothing to do with who cheats more and everything to do with the balance of power between genders, historically speaking. The term mistress is an old fashioned term. Hardly anyone uses that term anymore to describe an illicit partner.

[tariqkhan051]

They keep lookinh for better. And that's the human nature. Even girls do that.

So the key is, relationship should not be build on the basis of looks, but on 13th basis of matching mentality. Trust me that will last forever. And you both will enjoy together regardless of someone else more beautiful than you.

#peace

[liberty_5_3000]

Thanks for the advice and for like a 5th million reply I never said girls didn't cheat I just asked why do guys cheat

[tariqkhan051]

Cheating = (Decision against your will)

For other person (for whom he's leaving you)
It could be the act of love. 😂

[shubham16]

I think, finding a girl who is interested in you sexually, is not common. Everyone loves getting more attention... If a guy feels that he can not be caught, hanging out with a temporary partner doesn't hurt. Loyalty only comes with ultimate satisfaction with current partner (which is rare).

[Guanfei]

The question is badly asked. Why do PEOPLE cheat? I'll probably say because they're asshole, since I despise cheaters deeply, but a more objective answer would be that:
-either they find in someone else what they don't find in the person they're with (to which i'd say they should just break up, but it's a personal opinion)
-Or they have more needs than one person can fulfill. (to which i'd say: stay single and you're free to fuck anyone you want)
-Or revenge (You did this thing to me, i'll do that to you. Stupid, eh, but it happens)

[liberty_5_3000]

The question is asked exactly how I wanted, I was not asking why men cheat yes there are plenty probably most that are the same but I was referring to a specific situation I've personally seen multiple times to multiple people

[liberty_5_3000]

Woman** sorry voice text

[Jbarry]

80% of women sleep with 20% of men. That means that even if a man is with a beautiful woman, it's not special because there are 3 other women just like her trying to get into his pants. And if you accept that 80% of women sleeping with 20% of men because it's natural, then you have to accept that men want to sleep with as many women as possible because that too is natural.

[Cursewords]

Why do women cheat? Why does anyone cheat? Obviously they cheat because your relationship was not as special as you actually think. People cheat because their needs are not being met. It doesn't matter how someone looks, it matters if they are down to meeting the other person's needs.

[liberty_5_3000]

Attraction is very important in a relationship and obviously there are similarities too reasons why women and men cheat but bottom line are chemical makeup is different and then one of the ways it's mainly different is in sexuality what we desire and why we desire it so with this in mind I would expect men to have reasons maybe a girl wouldn't know of or think of

[Cursewords]

I disagree. Chemistry is not often the reason at all. If your needs are met by your partner, you don't cheat. Period.

[wickedone619]

I think we cheat when we start feeling like our other half isn't doing their part. That's just me though. I've only been unfaithful twice and that was 10 years ago both times was during a "break" and another female started to show interest.

[liberty_5_3000]

Thank you this is probably the best answer I've gotten so far

[wickedone619]

You're welcome

[Ram0n83]

Most relationship counselors conclude that men usually cheat because of unfulfilled sexual desires with their current partner.

Other reasons can and do exist. But the one above tends to be the most common reason given by adulterous men.

[DesiBeautyLover]

Because monogamy is a gimmick. The average human gets bored with their partner after 12 years. Women also cheat, so don't put all the guilt on us.

[liberty_5_3000]

Again never said they didn't was asking about men and your assumption thought I was implicated in that they don't is ignorant. If I asked you why do cats attack dogs would you assume that I mean dogs don't attack cats if I asked you why the sky was blue would you assume that I thought it can only be blue?

[avi007bondster]

Because you won't suck his dick

[dragau4]

Well I don't know why do women cheat? Its subjective and not only done by us male. Personnally i would never there's no point in it

[liberty_5_3000]

Never once did I said only done by males I can put together a few good reasons why women what cheat women and men's Brains work differently so I was asking why do males cheat I don't need to ask a question I can figure out myself

[dragau4]

If thats how you meant it well probably that we are childish and immature and some of us can't control their impulses

[liberty_5_3000]

Thank you sir for the first f****** really answer my question

[Patriot357]

Well some guys just want to have their cake and eat it too

[liberty_5_3000]

Ya you heard but you never saw and here's a question with in your question why is it ok for a woman to hit a man but a man can hit a woman back? See people make it seems it's always the mans fault maybe it's the women maybe she wasn't doing anything for him. or OR maybe it was an eye for an eye but a woman will say she didn't do anything wrong because that's how a lot of women are

[liberty_5_3000]

I got a couple things to say on this one so
1) don't really think it's okay for anyone to hit anyone, why though it is seen as politically and socially and incorrect for a man to hit a woman is because of our biological makeup men are naturally more muscular and also have a more elastic muscle lining allowing them to can excess muscle a lot easier. Therefore if a man were to hit a woman it is a lot more likely that he will end up doing more damage than he thought and will end up hurting her a lot worse than she could ever hurt him. But regardless of that is still morally wrong and illegal for anyone to hit another person
2) who are these people you say people make it seem like it's always the man's fault but the only people I see saying things like that or offending topic what happened to The Men Who in fact have been accused or done something to the accused.

[liberty_5_3000]

3) yay finally started to answer the question you're right that's very likely
4) oh when there you go again off topic maybe she did maybe she didn't but that's not the topic of discussion that's a nice little tangent there but not exactly truly relevant.

The question was why do men in relationships with good women cheat any sort of implications were created by you probably from insicurities and a natural defence

[TheIdeaOfLove]

I guess men like the attention they are getting. They still love their girlfriend, but it's an adrenalin rush for them. It makes men feel like a king i guess.

[Anon-ymous1]

1) Obviously something is lacking.
2) Boys are supposed to have sex with lots of girls, not just one.

[swahzycorn]

I've never met a woman whom I love, and I think that's most men's problem with that. They can put on a front. And pretend but at the end of the day they will do what they want.

[Anonymous]

Because they want to have sex with lots of different girls, and they don't think monogamy is all that important.

[markscott]

Men can be real fools, just as women can be at times.

[Shawn58]

i guess its more of a curiosity and lust thing and your pretty by the way

[taleswapper]

Because so many people (of BOTH sexes) are unable to see themselves as getting caught.

[liberty_5_3000]

If they had a button for like eh and I would push it like not a thumbs down but not a thumbs up

[Anonymous]

Being beautiful doesn't make you special. Most times men cheat because they are not satisfied at home sexually. That is why when they cheat, its usually an average looking girl, because its just sex.

[liberty_5_3000]

When choosing a mate beauty is an important part it's right next to your mental level of compatibility. Genetically we look for people who are attractive we look for people who follow the golden ratio to mate with we do this subconsciously to find the made it to make the best babies why men look for women with big breasts and big hips that are for feeding and bearing children why women look for stronger taller men better for protecting the household ext ext. no matter how feminist or whatever the male word for feminists is ( I think it's just sexist) we cannot deny our animal instincts we cannot deny the subconscious thoughts sex is only around for breeding we are attracted to who would be best for breeding for. so being beautiful and special

[Opinion Owner]

I meant when it comes to cheating. ( the context of your question) Yes a guy might have a hot beautiful wife, but what if she doesn't satisfy him in bed? What if she doesn't do the things that he likes or just don't want to have sex anywhere as often as they used to? He will probably look outside of the relationship and "beauty" isn't going to be top of his list. The guy just wants a decent looking woman who is WILLING to fuck, because its just physical. That is why the "other woman" isn't always as attractive as the spouse.
