10 Reasons Why You Should Cheat

10 Reasons Why You Should Cheat

1. It's exciting when you're with a different person.

You get to taste, see, smell, hear and touch a new person other than your partner. It gets boring for you to be with the same person over and over again. Maybe you are still looking for a better deal.

2. You get the best of both (or a lot of) worlds

Why be with one attractive person when you can have two attractive people at the same time? It's like you go into the store and you can't pick which item you want so you take both. Or you already have an item but you want to still keep it when you buy a new one. For example, your favorite colors are blue and green so you decide to own a blue towel and a green towel. You clearly can't make up your mind.

3. It's all about the fun of hiding secrets.

A cheater hides secrets from their partner. Some people love hiding secrets because they like all the attention they get when people try to figure the secrets out. Hell, I even like it when people try to figure something out about me. It's entertaining to know the other person barely has a clue. It's a really fun game!

4. Cheating is a way to deal with the problems you have in your main relationship.

You may be unhappy in a relationship because there is something that went missing or your partner isn't treating you right. There could be negative feelings such as stress and you have a hard time resolving them with your partner because you don't have good communication skills and/or there is weak compatiability. You may not be getting enough sex and/or love so you feel lonely. So you receive the love and/or sex from someone else because you can't come up with something better to do and you don't want to leave your partner.

5. If you're a woman, your primitive brain will be satisfied if you have sex with the best looking man you can find.

Women are generally most fertile at approximately fourteen days after their periods. During that time, they are generally less horny with their long-term partner and will be more physically attracted to men who look better/healthier than their long-term partner. This is called the dual mating strategy. This strategy will create healthier and more attractive kids.

6. If you're a man, your primitive brain will be satisfied if you impregnate as many women as possible.

It's an evolutionary phenomenon how men want to plant their seed in any woman in order to pass on their genes into the next generation. The woman you are currently with could've cheated on you with a better looking man so you don't know for sure if the children you have together are really yours. Paternity tests didn't exist during evolution so your primitive brain has no way of truly knowing who is actually your child.

10 Reasons Why You Should Cheat

7. It's a way to get out of a relationship if you aren't an assertive person.

You don't love your partner and you can't explicitly tell your partner that it's over. So a passive aggressive person, like you, gives hints and is implicit about what his/her intentions are.

8. You know your partner cheated on you.

Why not get revenge? Give them a taste of their own medicine.

9. Your excuses for cheating are debatable.

You want to blame it on your partner, your sexuality, your personality, your IQ, your testosterone level, circumstance, or your desirability. All these excuses are generally considered 'open to question' so there really is no right or wrong answer. Is there? People would either disagree or agree.

10 Reasons Why You Should Cheat

10. You're sadistic and you would like to see your partner suffer.

Cheating will make your partner suffer. It will also haunt them in the next relationship cause they'll have trust issues because of you.

I was just listing the reasons why cheaters cheat. I don't plan to cheat in the future. I don't think you should either. The drawbacks of cheating do outweigh all the benefits of cheating. I have no experience in relationships so this is everything I could come up with. But why cheat though? Just leave and/or stay single... #SeeMyWork #Cheating #PleaseDontHateMe

  • The only people who would hate you about this Take are gonna be mainly women and balls less guys (the ones that "don't get it" or "can't get any"). I for one don't necessarily agree with cheating, but i totally understand why it happens and why things get to that point and you have mentioned most, if not all of them. The most popular one is #4. That seems to be a concept that women never seem to be able to wrap their heads around, and i don't blame them, "the person that does the farting is never too bothered by the smell"... aka... when you are the source of the problem, you don't see it as a problem.
    As someone that has cheated before, i'd say im guilty of all those reasons except 3, 5 and 6. though i have cheated/played quite a few times (years ago), its never happened to me, i tell people that it IS possible to not be cheated on but they never listen. especially girls. IF only they would cut off that mentality that they know everything, and that their way of behaving in a relationship is always right, and actually focus on Who they are dating, many cheating situations could have been avoided. Most of them only have just that ONE way of handling relationships, just one. and they use it in ALL their relationships. "One man's meat is another man's poison", I've never used the same approach for different girls during dating because i understand that what worked for one may not necessarily work for the other.
    So the masses can hate you all they want, I respect you for putting these reasons out there and even more for not posting Anonymous.

    • Yeah it would help if people would realize they are the source of the problem sometimes. Thank you for reading this whole take and sharing your thoughts. I respect you too for not sharing this anonymously.

    • Lol... i rarely go anon.. i like people to know that i stand by my beliefs Unless they have sufficient reasons for me to change them, and that has happened a few times... I had a little conflict with the title though, its like you are encouraging cheating, but when i tried rephrasing it, the rest just didn't make sense... if it comes to a point where people SHOULD cheat, then no point of relationships anymore eh lol. That number 3 though, its not really accurate with cheating, maybe with playing it is, because the times i cheated, it was too much pressure to hold on to the though, along with the fear of getting caught and covering tracks everywhere. so not fun.

    • I rarely go on anon either. I thought about it but I was like nah, I'm already anonymous on here lol. I don't know about most cheaters but I like to hide things so I thought some cheaters like to hide tracks. I totally agree that there is no point in a relationship if people should. I purposely made the title misleading to get more views for this contest. It was meant to be facetious in a way.

  • Bahahahahahahaha #clickbait

    But, srsly though -- it's always fun for couples to try "having an affair"... WITH EACH OTHER.
    Like, be all sketchy about it. Meet at a seedy motel. Slip into bathrooms to check yr phone. Sext each other from work. "Hide" yr phones when you're around each other. Pack naughty clothes in yr car and change on the sly. ahahahaaa

    This has the potential to be super fun, especially if you have intrusive family/co-workers/friends who would "rat you out" to each other. lol.

    • Do you call each other different names to lol

    • @ConsultantIsBack Interesting thought... We don't call each other by name in the first place (outside of, say, getting each other's attention across a crowded room) so this isn't really an issue.

  • 1. It's exciting when you're with a different person --> That also works in an open relationship. No cheating needed.
    2. You get the best of both worlds --> That also works in an open relationship. No cheating needed.
    3. It's all about the fun of hiding secrets --> Uhm... okay, I guess that's an argument.
    4. Cheating is a way to deal with the problems in your main relationship --> Technically yes, but a very destructive way. Cheating solves your relationship problems like heavy drinking solves your depressions. It might feel relieving in the moment but the next hangover is right around the corner and over all, things just get worse.
    5. If you're a woman, your primitive brain will be satisfied if you have sex with the best looking man you can find --> That also works in an open relationship. No cheating needed.
    6. If you're a man, your primitive brain will be satisfied if you impregnate as many women as possible --> Sure... but once you've got to pay all the child support, things won't look so bright anymore. Seems like another recipe for self-destruction.
    7. It's a way to get out of a relationship if you're not an assertive person --> Passive aggressive people are assholes. If you don't want to be in a relationship anymore, have the guts and say it. Plus, it might not even work because your partner might forgive you and the relationship just continues.
    8. You know your partner cheated on you --> Revenge cheating is about the dumbest, most immature thing that has ever been invented.
    9. Your reasons for cheating are debatable --> That sounds very obscure. It would probably be better for such a person to get checked out by a psychologist instead of cheating.
    10. You're sadistic and you would like to see your partner suffer --> Uhm... okay. I guess?

    So out of these 10 arguments, only two seem legitimate. And at least one of them (number 10) seems rather morally questionable.

  • This MyTake pissed me of so much until I read the end.

    I was cheated on before and it really does mess with you - It's created further trust issues for me than I already had and I get very paranoid in my current relationship & If I think he's lying on something I feel the need to make him promise on my life. My boyfriend is often having to reassure me but I can't help but think he's going to like someone else more and not tell me - Like what my cheating ex did. It's fine if he should like someone more than me, he can't help that but I'd rather he just break up with me if that were to happen as I don't like being 2nd best with my boyfriend nor do I like being cheated on.

    I don't want to cheat on my boyfriend either - He is just so sweet and lovely to me and I don't want to hurt him in any way. It would break my heart if I did anything to break his. I don't even like anyone else that way, I only want him. Should that fact ever change though, I would try and gently break up with him before getting with anyone else. Having someone break up with you feels bad enough, cheating only causes further emotional damage.

    • But I love you ❤️ #nohomo

    • Well I hate your love for me Don't you hate it when someone hates you? Sometimes I even hate my own hate (some homo)

    • Ouch I hope you're not being serious cause I don't like it when someone hates me 😢 My take was all satire just so you know

  • Really happy to see this end the way it did, my rage meter has decreased entirely.

    I agree, if you aren't happy with your partner, leave them. It causes far less emotional turmoil to just break up than to have them find you've been cheating.

  • You forgot the number one reason why people cheat.
    Immaturity!
    I enjoyed the twist at the end ahah Very brave

  • #totallyhateyou

    lol, you got me good on this one. XD

  • "I was just listing the reasons why cheaters cheat"
    Haha no... you were listing encouragements as to why people SHOULD do it. Big difference. But not surprising that you entered the contest with such a problematic topic. Clickbait galore.

    • Who would be encouraged by this? Im mocking cheaters. This is satire... Lol

    • Does it matter? Lol. You still named the take "10 reasons why you SHOULD cheat" not "10 reasons why cheaters cheat". Even if it's satire it was poorly formulated.

    • Does it matter that to you that someone here is encouraged by this? There are people here who disagree with you lol 😂

  • Excellent until that last part, shhhhh.

  • LMAO THE NaCl in the comments.

    • Some are just too salty lol

    • Some people just dont understand trolls are not salt deprived horses. (Referencing salt blocks that horses lick.)

  • You named your MyTake "10 reasons why you should cheat" and you hope to not get HATE, :D.

    • I did it to get more views and thanks

  • WTF did i just read?
    I wasn't even able to read this all.
    You said please don't hate me, I don't hate you, but I definitely hate all that bullshit u managed to put in 1 MyTake. Thank God people don't think like this.

    • Maybe if you read the whole thing, you would know it's tended to be factious about cheaters. All of these are reasons why people cheat... It's been proven

    • Wait... What you just said is different from what's in the title... In the title you say " why you should cheat" and that means that you are basically telling people that they should cheat coz its okay. But if now u are telling me " reasons people cheat" then its a whole other story that has nothing to do with the TITLE.

    • The title was click bait to get the most views for the GAG myTake contest. I know it was misleading. The whole myTake is satire. The ending will show its satire.

  • I was wondering if this was satire then end pretty much confirmed it. cheating is bullshit, weak minded people do that kind of thing.

  • fuckin kidding me lol...

    we already know why cheaters cheat and I've read that you're not about that life, which is great... but guess what? you may have just convinced someone in a relationship who read this that it wouldn't be a bad idea, and u may never know it.

    you see, no one initially plans to cheat. it just creeps up on people who are too weak minded to remain loyal. in other words, cheating is cowardly, and not a single one of your 10 reasons justifies anything.

    i respect your courage to be controversial, but this is not one of those topics that we should be making excuses for, whether you mean it or not.

    • I think he may just be running for that Most Clicks contest for editors this month lol

    • I never said that the ten reasons justify it. It's the reasons why the weak minded people do it. I don't think this myTake is going to convince people who don't cheat to cheat. If this will convince them, then they werent relationship material in the first place. Yes this is the contest I am running for.

    • as i said, i read it all and i understood your intention, which is fine. as much as i love your innocence, i didn't really mean it will convince every person who is in a relationship. I'm just highlighting that the possibility is there. anyway, i hope you win. GaG admin will have some explaining to do if u do.

  • Reasons Why You Should Kill People :-
    1. They are dumb
    2. Why play COD on X-Box while you can play it in real life?

    • Because COD won't correct you for writing 'while' when the correct word to use is 'when'.

    • @BaileyisDarcy thanks grammar Nazi. Your so smart.

    • Aw thanks! Im so glad you noticed!

  • talk about devils advocate... :p

  • Lol I love the satire

    • I think your one of the few people who noticed it. I think some people just skipped to the end lol.

    • I did as well. I mean, even a narcissist wouldn't write that, and I know a lot of them.

  • I agree with everything you said until that last paragraph... jeez, what was that contradiction?
    Thanks for the reasons though, I'm motivated now!

  • There's only 2 reasons I can think of that you might need for cheating:

    1) You want to.
    2) She's going to cheat anyway, you might as well.

  • I feel like in the end it comes to how much you respect and love the person you're with; you won't even consider it if you truly respect and love the one you're with. It's that simple.
