“ Because it is in their DNA ” is one of the responses I
got when I decided to post the question on Facebook.
It may interest you to know that this shocking
response was from a lady. There were other mind-
boggling responses that got me wondering what
informs our perspective on the subject.
Women cheat as well. Yes, they do… with men. I’m not
a woman and I don’t know why women cheat, but I
have a feeling I might go crazy if I try to probe into
that. So I’d just skip.
I have been asked by several ladies, “which of these
three are you into; drinking, smoking or women?” If
you dare pull a stunt and say something like “Oh no, I
don’t do all that”, they will instantly get animated and
come up with shit like “Oh c’mon! Who are you trying
to deceive? Are you not a man?” “We sabi as e dey go
na”



I’m not a psychologist, but I’m a man. I’m not
married, but I’ve been in relationships. To satisfy your
curiously, yes, I have cheated on my woman in the
past. I know it is wrong and irresponsible and I’m not
proud of it. But that is a topic for another day. Below,
I have attempted to answer the ancient question.
Everybody does it. Unlike women, men are not shy
about sharing their extra-marital escapades with
friends and partners in crime. They have a lot of fun
gisting about that other girl from last night. As a
matter of fact, they flaunt it. Adding each new
conquest as another feather to their jerky hats. If
anyone of them present in the meeting has never
cheated, temptation to do so increases by 90% (no
statistical reference). He will just sit making up
immoral plans that will eventually hatch.
Love for stolen meats . That’s by far the most popular
reason. Another interesting response I got on my
Facebook wall is “Okay let’s just say girls are like
fruits in there variants, strawberries, bananas,
oranges, cherries etc. and guys love fruit salad”
Others will claim, “men are hunters” and “women love
to be chased”, so it’s like a game with thrilling
adventures for all players. Stolen meats are sweet.
To prove a point . As wack as this sounds, men cheat
to prove a point. “Yes, I can”, “I am smart enough to
cheat and not get caught”, or to simply convince
himself that he is a man too, after all. The simple logic
will be; ‘All men cheat’, Mr. Dick is a man, Mr. Dick
cheats!

Lack of good examples. A boy who grows up
watching his father cheat on his mother will likely
cheat. After all, dad cheats on mom and they are still
married after 40 years. Cheating will in fact seem to
him as a recipe for a ‘happy married life’.
Most women expect them to. That is the only logical
explanation for a married woman who packs her
husband’s bag for a trip and conveniently adds
condoms like it’s socks or boxers. After all, cheating is
“in their DNA”. Come to think of it, no gentle man
wants to disappoint his woman.
Some women want them to. A doctor friend of mine
told me how that to his surprise, a married couple
walked into the hospital to see him because the wife
feared she might be pregnant. The pretty young
mother claimed the last two pregnancies almost
claimed her life and wouldn’t want to go through such
again, ever. “I even brought a pretty girl home for him
to have sex with any time he wants”, pointing to the
husband who sat next to her smiling freakishly, “But
no, he won’t just let me be”. No, that isn’t a movie,
but a real life story. I’m not even sure that could be
classed as cheating.

The society lets them. Over 2000 years ago, two
people were caught making out in Israel, and the
woman was brought to Jesus to judge. Do you
remember that story? One will wonder where the man
was. It takes two to f**k! Imagine how the story would
have gone if it was Hilary who cheated on Bill Clinton.
Now bring that home to Africa. Youp! your guess is as
good as mine.
Other flimsy reasons will include, ending a
relationship, because he was seduced, he doesn’t trust
her and probably a billion other reasons.
Truth is, none of the reasons stated above is good
enough for infidelity. Men and women face tempting
situations that will compel them to cheat at some point
in their lives. Choosing to cheat is ultimately a
personal decision. Whatever happened to discipline
and self-control?
The only valid reason men cheat is because they
choose to.
Here is a quick question for men; if you knew she was
an HIV patient, will you go ahead and still cheat on
your partner with her? If the answer is “No”, then you
can stop cheating. ‪#‎Simple‬!
