Are better looking people more likely to cheat?

[Wowgirl10q]

Simple based on them having more options.

Fun girls tonight..
Yay ladies thank you for being awesome

[MrOracle]

Yes, but that's mostly because good-looking people have far more OPPORTUNITY to cheat (because they've got a huge pool of people willing to have sex/be in a relationship with them - even if they're already with someone).

That isn't to suggest that all good-looking people cheat - but it IS true that good-looking people tend to be more likely to take advantage of their opportunities, and are also used to having their behavior excused by others because they are good-looking and thus widely desired.

[BobSansMal]

Better looking people might get more opportunities, but that might make them value an opportunity less also. I really don't see how a person's proclivity to cheat would really be connected to their attractiveness. It's more connected to their character.

[pleasestopthis]

No... I think the possibility of someone being a cheater is more related to their personality and values.
Ugly people tend to be insecure and in constant need of validation so they might feel the need to cheat in case the opportunity arises. I know of several cases.

[DocilexElle]

Nice! LOL! Yeah... that average guy who THINKS he's really hot... but is actually just ordinary XD

[ChiTown33]

Sorry but that line of thinking sounds bass ackwards to me. If someone thinks they're ugly i would think they'd be less likely to cheat. I mean why would you want to screw up a good thing.

[pleasestopthis]

@ChiTown33 Guys who are really confident don't need to cheat or have more ladies to feel like they're worth something. Insecurity leads to cheat, not unatractiveness by itself. But ugly guys tend to be insecure.

[ChiTown33]

Agree to disagree i think a "confident" guy would be 10 times more likely to cheat. For one he's going to have more opportunities. I don't agree that insecurity leads a person to cheat unless you mean lack of faith in the relationship but even still a guy that does that always had the inclination to cheat from the get go because you don't do that to people you care about.

[Wowgirl10q]

@DocilexElle like all of my ex's yeah😂

[pleasestopthis]

@ChiTown33 Maybe we have a different meaning for "confident".

[ChiTown33]

i don't think so i probably should have nixed the writing " i think a "confident" guy would be 10 times more likely to cheat". I followed it up with a guy that cheats had that inclination from the get go because i don't think confidence has anything to do with cheating it's all about character. When i said a "confident" guy is 10 times more likely to cheat all i meant was he's probably got more opportunity if he's the cheating type.

[DocilexElle]

@ChiTown33 makes sense!!

[PrincessPie]

Nope, i don't think so, this is more a morals thing.
Though good looking people have more options in general but that doesn't mean they will more likely cheat, its more about who you are as a person.

[Cynicaldreamer]

No, just because someone is more attractive or have more options in the dating pool, doesn't mean they're going to cheat on his or her partner.

If their partner makes them happy and satisfies their needs, they are less likely to cheat. Honestly, I've seen unattractive people cheat just as much as attractive people- it just comes down to a person's character, and how happy they feel in their relationship.

[Logorithim]

I don't think so, since thrill seeking and a lack of sex seem to the main two reasons people cheat, and that doesn't have anything directly to do with looks.

[jennifer_bloom]

I don't think so. I think it's the same as ugly people.

[Anonymous]

Well it does make sense wen it comes to men. Men tend to get into relationship more so for steady stream of sex rather than companionship. So, if a male attractiveness increases then logically that person will have more women willing to sleep with him. This is further compounded by the fact that studies have shown that men who are taken tend to be more desirable to women than men who are single. Thus, it would stand to reason that if a man is in relationship and has enough offers to cheat then he will cheat on his partner if the setting arises.

Now, your probably wondering. What about attractive women. Well i remember reading that says, women who are more attractive tend to make themselves more exclusive and prefer monogamous relationship than women less attractive. This, means that women who see themselves as beautiful it have higher self esteem (self worth) than those less attractive and do not see the need to use sex to boost their confidence or attract a male into committing. Instead, an attractive female will use her attractiveness to get exclusive relationship with a desirable male more often than not rater than giving up sex in a feign attempt of hoping this will convince a high status male to stick around.

[courtney06]

That’s interesting

[SvanUlf]

Better looking _cheaters_ are more likely to cheat, I'll give you that. 😉

I actually had this conversation with my girlfriend the other day as her ex-husband cheated on her. I agree with the people saying that it has more to do with personality/character/morals than looks. What I told my girlfriend was that; Yes, I might have more options available than someone that is less attractive than me but that also means that I'm with her because I choose to be, not because I can't get anyone else and therefore am "forced" to be.

However, what I feel is what *really* matters is that I'm well aware of lucky I am to have her as my girlfriend in the first place and that I'd have to be a complete idiot to jeopardize that in any way.

[Amaltheashy]

No. Pardon me i don't want to sound vain; i get hit on a lot and the attention is fraudulent. Id rather be in a room with my one an only then in a room of many filling my head with b. s. I have guy friends id never see then as a option i got to much respect for that or to treat them like that. i got morals an standards. :P

[ShiningWalwus]

Would you say that the amount of attention you get your more likely to pass up average looking guys?

[Amaltheashy]

Define average?

[ShiningWalwus]

I would say im average lol look at my pic

[Amaltheashy]

@ShiningWalwus your handsome , hope you have a good personality

[ShiningWalwus]

Wow thanks for the compliment thats a better pic though 😉 and i hope i have a good personality too lol

[Rose8900]

I don’t think so, yes they get more attention. It is a bit hard to be in the situation since u get attention from good looking people but that’s part of life. Good looks doesn’t mean you have lose character or commitment issues. Usually good looking people value themselves more since they are used to of getting attention.

[FatherJack]

They will have more options , female , far more so , there are a surprising number of men that scored the genetic jackpot for looks , but cannot win over a woman to save their lives. depends on personal morals , or lack thereof , and in the case of men especially , sex drive / lack of sex in a relationship. Women do not tend to cheat for sexual reasons , more for emotional fulfillment.

[chameleon3081]

I have read multiple studies, and looks don't seem to be part of it (no pattern that would suggest a trend). Some studies said those Considered ugly were more likely to cheat, others said those considered good looking were more likely to cheat. I suspect it would be a whole range of issues including: personality, region you live in, society's influence , double standards people place on us, the relationship itself, etc.

[MissChasityL]

Depends if the relationship they’re in is enough for them, if they would feel happy and accomplished in that relationship I don’t think they will even have the thought of cheating on their partner.
But if some aren’t ‘happy’ in the relationship they’re in, they being very attractive, will have other people hitting on them and will fall into the temptation or will look for it themselves

[happyhippo]

Based on studies I've read before it's actually less attractive people that are more likely to cheat, even tho more attractive ones have more options. It's actually still a base for a debate, because I've also read many articles on that stating the opposite. However what doesn't seem to be debateable is that long lasting relationships are less likely to occur with good looking partners.

[Aynsof]

I don't think they are inherently so but obviously they will have more opportunities and if they are likely to do so they are more likely to do get an opportunity and go for it when they are attractive
There are likely plenty of attractive people who do not do such things and there are probably unattractive people who would if they had a chance but just don't really get one

[codyccc]

It's like celebraties guy are caught cheating but when you think about it i maby have 25 chances to in my life time so if I did that's a 4 % failure rate where as a huge male celebrity had 3 or 4 chances a day that's 1500 a year so if they sleep with one its a 0.067% failure or a 1in 1500 odds the odds of you dieing in a moter vecheal accident 1/88 , suicide 1/122, shot to death 1/308, drownd 1/1123,

[CandacePerry]

It depends on the person. . i will never cheat on any relationship. it q stupid term to use. for any relationship. people should be honest but they not. I am staying away from jerk.

[Rubenmk]

No.
I disagree. I don't know how to say (my English is not that good.)
But it depends on the person. Not on their looks.

[princessfromjupiter]

I don't believe there is an inherent correlation between a person's looks and their loyalty and commitment in a relationship.

[Bandit74]

I think it makes sense, but even average women have a lot of options if they are just looking for sex so I don't think risk of infidelity would be that much higher with an attractive girl compared to an average looking one.

[Jjpayne]

I'd say that the more options that are presented to you based on your attractiveness, the more tempting it is

[roland77]

No, cheating is not about how they look like. It is about personality, self-esteem and maybe also how open they are to each other.

But: Also good-looking humans can NOT cheat, it is truly related to their mindset.

[Rashad]

Sex drive pushes people to cheat , not how they look. Many guys or girls, that look good. Might have very low sex drive and they will not end up cheating. Or will even dry out the partner as well.
I love girls with high sex drive!:)
