Do all men cheat?

Question

I've seen many couples who's relationship is ruined because the men is unfaithful and it got me thinking that marriage is pretty much pointless because my husband will get bored and find another women

No, of course not.

All men feel temptation at times, but most men manage those feelings and keep their behavior in check - even when it's very difficult to do so.

One of the ironies is that women tend to be VERY attracted to confident men, but a sizable percentage of such men are also very selfish and self-centered (it's all about what THEY want), and those are the ones who are by far the most likely to cheat. In fact, on average (there are exceptions, of course), the more attractive a man is, the more opportunities will come his way, and the more likely he is to cheat.

If you were to date a popular actor, musician, or athlete, for example, their attractiveness tends to be off the chart, and the chances of them cheating on you approaches 100%. Why? Because they have endless numbers of young, hot women throwing themselves at him - even knowing he's in a relationship - and few men can resist that level of temptation.

95% of men will barely experience even 1% of that amount of opportunity and temptation, so it's much easier to maintain their behavior. But, again, if you are dealing with a person who is selfish and self-centered, they're going to seek out other partners and they'll take advantage of EVERY opportunity that comes their way without a second thought about their partner - because in their minds, only their own desires really matter.

That is a tough question.. I will say tho that a lot of guys are only after one thing from women.. and they will say all the sweet talk to those women to get it.. but after that they run off to their next prey.. they are similar to big game hunters.. they want as many trophy's and in this case women as they can get.. a lot do not have feeling's for them and if a child is made by them well they run away faster then a speeding bullet.. that is my opinion.. because I have met many of them.

I even know some lady friends of mine that fell into their trap.. to a lot of men it is just a game to them.. but the women will take a lot of these guys at full value... to whom they are trying to convince.. so no not all guys cheat.. I would never do that.. and I have had plenty of dates.. even tho now I wear diapers and rubber pants all the time... I do care very much about women and would never use them for sex like some guys will.. well there is my opinion on the subject and I stand by it.. take care

Correction: All ASSHOLES cheat & being an asshole isn’t a gender specific occurrence. My ex husband cheated on me with multiple people. People as in... anyone he could fuck behind my back. Didn’t matter what was in their pants. My current partner’s ex wife cheated on him multiple times. We bonded over our shitty divorces. “One person’s trash is another person’s treasure.”

Point is, everyone is capable of making mistakes in relationships. Some ugly sorts are just low enough to hurt you & not give a damn. Then you see their true colors & it’s a lesson learned. You learn what kind of behavior you won’t tolerate & how to stand up for yourself in new relationships.

I think A LOT of men cheat. But, I don’t think they ALL do. Men who cheat tend to be very insecure and lack self-confidence - they believe their worth comes from constant female validation. They have no sense of self, and they are unable to look outside themselves and realize how devastatingly hurtful their actions will be towards their SO. Men who cheat, much like women who cheat, lack character and integrity - their moral compass is geared towards selfishness and that isn’t a partner you want.

No. Not all men cheat, but, men who are LIKELY to cheat will often display signs early on... just don’t ignore them like i did!

That depends what the relationship is based on. If the relationship is based on physical attraction and the person was not a virgin at the time of their marriage - there is a chance of cheating when the person is no longer fit and attractive. If the relationship is based on money and one or both do not love each other - there is a very high chance of divorce. If the relationship is based on social status and not based on respect and concern for the person - there is also a chance that one person will cheat on or abandon the other.

Stoner710 · Answer

No not all men cheat. That doesn’t mean we don’t look. I’ve never cheated. Doesn’t mean I haven’t been tempted. Funny as soon as I got a girlfriend every girl wanted me I even had a Mutual friend say I could have done better I said naw she awesome (if you wanna hear f
The full store I’ll share ) had opportunity to cheat like no other I was friend with the school stunt and was the nicest guy she ever met still I was loyal because I New I had a gift for whoever nature god some other deity That I was blessed to have a girl as cool as she was but thing started getting bad, she admitted to me later that she would start fight over nothing just to test me, i failed. But in the End she failed because she gave up someone who would love and appreciate she alway. I still do to this day I haven’t been Inlove since her she broke my heart and no one in the world can mended it. So i strive, to learn knowledge is my mistress now And seeing my raccoon every night we’re both alone both man and beast until we move on either to one we can love an chance for life or death same with my dog. You’ll find someone who loves you and never let, him go love him for, his faults know she will be tempted but he love you. but if he’s faithful goood to you forgive for his faults (like if he smokes weed ) and know he loves you and you are always in his plans when he thinks of th future. With that know that good men are out there

Loyalty cannot be judged on basis of gender. One either female or male just doesn't cheats coz he finds someone more attractive then you, if someone is just with you coz of your looks , money , status it's not love it is business. Most people cheat when they are unhappy with their relationship emotionally, mentally or physically. Due to stress or quarrels or if it's a one sided forced relationship (where one is in relationship just just on sake of moral obligation , society or family even maybe one is with partner and doesn't wanna hurt them) . Type of relation no matter gf-bf, or love/arrange marriage even doesn't matters.

In any relationship other then trust commitment, love, bonding affection and passion many factors matter. And its human nature to be selfish at times so people for sake of pleasure don't see or take their relation seriously end up hurting their partner.
Also not everyone is same you cannot judge every one with same perspective. Trusting someone is a one way trip.

As for the fear of getting cheated in married life simply give your best to love and takee of needs of your husband while never being over dominant, and over protective , trust him but not blindly. Once ya start doubting your husband you'll be the responsible for drifting him away from you.

Geoff_Feldman · Answer

I've never cheated. But I have been cheated on. I think cheating is usually a result of the inability to communicate each other's needs- rarely is it purely a sexual thing.
I think that as many men are not comfortable understanding themselves and being emotionally open, they are more likely to fail in communication. Given that many people have it in their heads that their emotional needs are their partnerd responsibility, I think that is a major source of this behavior.
So find partners who are both willing to work on maintenance of communication, who respect themselves and each other.

mademistakes · Answer

Not all men cheat.

Many look but they don't touch.
We definitely can be stupid at times.

But you want to know the truth about the male brain?

A man begins stray when his needs aren't being met.
When he doesn't feel needed wanted or desired.
When he no longer feels important in his partner life

If he doesn't get what he wants.

Any man that does cheat isn't really into you. They're only into your body. They won't allow themselves to really understand the way you think and who you are within.

Some men's brains are wired so that after they've actually got you the thrill leaves them

Then the desire does, their brains want them to find that thrill again. Kind of like a drug.
And that's sometimes I'll make them lose attraction towards a partner

I've read a lot of books on the brain. One thing I do know is usually people with addictive personalities are the ones who end up being non-monogamous.

Hope that helps?

AyushMate · Answer

That is completely wrong thinking.
Not always only men are unfaithful. Women can also be unfaithful.
Marriage is not pointless. There are 3 things essential to have a successful relationship. Trust, love and respect. And not just the couples need these qualities, their family should also have them. Just these 3 qualities are needed for a strong relationship.
And if you have a strong relationship, your husband will never get bored of you.
Good luck in finding your prince charming 😊😉

Anonymous · Answer

I've cheated regretfully. And my current partner has also. We didn't cheat on each other fortunatly but we both have on our exs. I dont see it as a gender thing, although i will say i won't be surprised if more men cheat than woman. Its more of a relationship thing. If someone cheats on you then it obviously means its not meant to be. I cheated because i was unhappy, cheatings not okay if your unhappy you should just end it. But having an attraction towards another person thats not your partner just proves that your not meant for that person. Or your just generally not ready for a relationship. So no not all men are cheaters. And not all women are cheaters. But both genders cheat. It all depends on who you are with and if you are happy

Anonymous · Answer

It's pretty equal. I've cheated and been cheated on but it's very telling of the relationship not being healthy. When my ex cheated on me we tried to work it out as it was a one time thing when he was so drunk he couldn't remember his own name. When I cheated I ended things asap because I knew it was over and I wasn't happy. Everyone cheats if put in a situation where their needs are unmet for a long period of time. But that doesn't mean that same person will cheat it a healthy relationship with good communication and values that allign. It's very situational

witherwing · Answer

No, all men do not cheat. An alarmingly high percentage do, but not all by any means. I recently read an article about how many people have cheated (a Finnish study, so doesn't represent the whole world), and it said a little over 50% of men and a little under 50% of women have cheated at least once. I was appalled.

PeterVeen · Answer

Now for the real answer... 20% of men cheat. So if everybody around you got cheated on, you should be fine! Statistically speaking ofc.
Funny fact.. In the age group18-29, in which you are now, WOMEN ACTUALLY CHEAT MORE THAN MEN! Women 11% and men 10% SOURCE:General social survey2010-2016 and ifstudies

chezburgr · Answer

Poular culture and the maimstream media habr made it seem that most men are pigs and will cheat without a second thought. I personlly agree with the ideology that most guys are misogynistic, but that doesn't mean all are. You have to be careful who you select as a potential partner. Dont be afraid to lower standards a bit. Most of the guys who do cheat are the exceptionally handsome ones. Be weary, but don't give up.

Korny · Answer

No, but the problem is if the girl doesn't give his man "love" if you know what i mean. Many get depressed (yes we are basic beings) mostguys at this situations just keep it shut in their pants. But some just can do it.
There is second thing, some guys just cheat mostly cos their nature and their harism. The problen is that most women just forgive them. Most of the guys who value their halfs are hard to find mostly cos they are not appealing to the girl.
And the girls usually do it too, mostly cos their nature.

MajorEasy · Answer

You are absolutely right that marriage is pointless...

But you are dead wrong that all men cheat...

Some men cheat as do some women... That's the numbers game we play... And when one cheats, the other is not totally blameless (even if the blame is merely choosing someone who cheats...)

0112358 · Answer

Women's cheating rates are catching up to men's.

Maybe half of all people will cheat during a marriage.

And somewhere not that much less then half of marriages will end.

Not the same 50% for those two things. So marriage is... not easy.

A lot is choosing the right partner, and at least as much, if not more, is really emphasizing the relationship.

Andre__ · Answer

If you already know your husband will get bored then you married the wrong guy for starters plus you allowed him to get bored.
You cannot make any such assumptions eventhough it may sound logical.
All the couples in the world are not you and whomever you will meet and maybe one day will marry. So whatever happens to them is no guarantee the same should/will happen to you.
It will if you keep an attitude that it will fail. It's called a self fulfilling prophecy.

prajjwalbisht · Answer

Girl that's a very big statement you making there. Not all men are the same. Just because some are pervs doesn't mean all are.
And marriage is not pointless if you do it with someone you love. Someone with who knows you till your soul.
Don't give up love.
And ya not all men are same!!!
Some are loyal.

micionate · Answer

Statistically speaking I would have say that some men may cheat. But definitely not all. As far as marriage goes.. Find the reasons for why you want to get married. Do you want to get married just to be married? Create a special bond? Find out all the reasons that you want to get married. Once you've got those, It just comes down to finding someone who is looking for the same thing.

gunducci · Answer

Not at all! And that is a very pessimistic point of view to have. Generalising on the basis of a few stories that you've heard is not only irresponsible, it is also a dangerous precedent to set for your peers and people who look up to you.
Please refrain from such a bleak line of thinking.
Be positive. The world is not all that bad.

Anonymous · Answer

Statistically speaking, women cheat more often then men. 70% of all divorces are filed by women. With the society becoming relatively egalitarian, the rate of failing marriages are increasing through out the world. If men were biologically cheaters, marriages would have failed with no lesser rate in the older patriarchal society as well. It is biologically established fact that women are more polygamous than men. Sorry to point this out..

Katie1964 · Answer

I don't think so. Probably no more than women, it takes two to tango. Many couples very contently live their lives faithfully to each other. Hubby and I for one.

hotguy24 · Answer

Hard truth literally, everyone does. When you get something comparatively huge of an upgrade you will cheat. It's just it has levels. Some go bold enough to cheat head-on , some slowly sabotage there relationship and then go for new one, once you had this feeling that a far better one is available, you subconsciously start finding errors in your current and finally mess it up.

tonyholms · Answer

Dear anonymous
Being loved is precious than anything else. If you expect it from cheap people, you are true than. But it implies both for men and women not only for men. Sometimes we forget to express all the Dos in a relationship. We forget to say even 'I Love You'. Men are quiteless without women.

Isaack · Answer

Not all men cheat. Not all women are gold diggers that stop trying as soon as they have a signed commitment. There are enough of both to make a stereotype, but we all can be better.

Of course not sweetheart, everyone is different and at different stages of their life which means different levels of maturity. Yes there are a lot of men and women who cheat but that means that the amount of people who don’t is directly proportional to the people who do

Red-Blaze · Answer

Not all cheat If that will have been the case it will have not have such a strong feeling as it will have been the norm You will hopefully drop on the one that is faithful

SwagsMcBags · Answer

Of course not. Statistics actually show that women are more likely to cheat. Of course your female friends who are cheated on will vent to you about it while the ones who are cheaters will probably keep quiet about it, which would explain why your viewpoint is so skewed.

drakeshake · Answer

Humans by nature are polygamous may it be males or females. It takes a lot to overcome temptation and thus takes effort to make a marriage work keep the spark alive nevertheless cheaters will be found always as desire and temptations are powerful adversaries..

Meghashyamm · Answer

I too feel like marriage is pointless but it has nothing to do with unfaithfulness of men. marriages fail because they aren't happy with the other. If you got a thought or fear that this might not work then you better don't go in relation with that kinda person.
All I know is to wait for the right person
