Apparently cheating can boost a women’s self-esteem? I don’t understand how cheating can help anyone’s self esteem?

Though this article may be for women the post is for men as well, don’t get it twisted.

“Affairs put a spring in your step, boost self-esteem and life satisfaction - but only if you're a woman, study finds”

I personally think this article is BS and I also feel like it’s harmful to women. From my point of view it’s saying that is beneficial for women to cheat on your partner, Like it’s ok to cheat because it boosts yourself even though it crushes your partner. Plus there’s consequences for cheating. If and when your partner finds out they will be devastated. Especially if you have gone very far in your relationship. How could anyone feel better after betraying your partners trust? How does it not eat them up inside?

It's never good to cheat but I think the article is saying it boosts self esteem because when you cheat it's someone showing you attention and lusting after you. That would boost confidence because it's someone lusting after you and wanting you.

Just something as small as someone hitting on somebody can boost self esteem sometimes. It makes you feel wanted and attractive.

Cheating is awful but it absolutely can boost people's self esteem.

It probably just makes them feel good that someone else wants them

A self esteem boost I’m sure it can give you however I’m sure it can kill your self esteem as well. On the flip side maybe that is why some couples have open relationships but on the other hand if you get caught cheating that is probably not good for your self esteem as well.
