Social media provides more varieties
Social media permits an extensive pool of choices and temptations for men or women. Consequently, social media helps generate the idea of cheating for the purpose of trying something new and different with scarcely any limits whatsoever.

Having multiple social media accounts
Social media accounts are awfully easy to open and in most cases, all you need is just an email address and your phone number then 5 minutes later, you are set to begin chatting with new friends. As such, unfaithful partners can easily operate multiple unknown social media accounts while they engage in cheating spree.

Social media means you can cheat anytime, anywhere
A cheating partner don’t have to make out time to cross town to meet someone or go to dingy clubs to scout for a potential person to flirt with. All it takes is just a swipe of a finger, irrespective of the location, city or nation.

There is no evidence for partners to find
It is quite difficult for a partner to find out they are being cheated upon because browsing history can be wiped off, message history can be deleted and accounts can be logged out. With all evidence of cheating gone, unfaithful partners are triggered to continue in their game without fear of getting caught.

Encourages uploading of attractive photos
Social media platforms like Instagram and snapchat, focuses more on visual content. Social media users have constantly step up their game by uploading more and more attractive photos just to gain fame and status on the social media sites. This leads to interaction and flirting with the opposite sex which leads to partners being unfaithful to their spouses.

Men like cheating

social media was built for women.and boy are they enjoying the diick buffet...
anyone who bothers taking a female's love serious in this day and age doesnt know what time it is.

Abegi this social media stuff is just overrated in nigeria and it doesnt freak me out. Ive not seen any social media that nigerians don't abuse..they use it completely out of how it shd be used.

Many girls use it as a poverty hide outs..you're there with a sincere mindset to fling, but they on d contrary are there as opportunists to get recharge cards and money for hair, iphone7 etc. Thats why you will chat up about 20 of them before 2 reply you with kk.

Ashawo is ashawo, if i want variety, i know where to get them for onecorner there. Scammers too use it pretending to be women. Too many rubbish.

Not only guys

You will all be put to shame.

@ OP you are absolutely right.

I tell my male friends that gone are the days were you will be out drinking all night and leaving your spouse/girlfriend at home lonely.

The possibility that your woman will be at home doing a sexy whats app or imo video call with an ex or another man is very high.

Relationships are greatly challenged with the advent of social media it takes a great level of control not to fall into online cheating games.
