Why Do Men Cheat? by Nobody: 3:59pm On Nov 07, 2010
so many have asked this, i even ask myself over and over again. u hook up with the man of ur dreams,everything seems so perfect until one day, u discover that 'mr right' or 'mr perfect' realy isnt what he says he is. I used to date this guy,tall,handsome and realy nice. He even called me angel or wifey.I took dat as a sign dat he luvd me but it turned out dat he's bin saying dat 2 half d gals on ma street. I broke up with him bt dat hasnt stopped me 4rm wondering why he cheated.

I guess men cheat because they are genetically programmed to, Those who dont cheat are mutants!

They cheat because the feel that their girl is also cheating.

Also men cheat because their girls don’t take them seriously. A typical example is this.

You meet a girl, ask her out, she accepts and you begin dating. Now what gets most guys pissed off is the withdrawal approach most girls begin to display after the poor guy must have dedicated his whole life to that relationships (I.e flashing instead of calling, sending call me back sms, requesting for money and many other childish attitudes that portrays lack of commitment to that relationship).

Most guys in this situation prefer to seek comfort in the arms of other girls rather than the one which the claim to love.

That’s why most guys cheat.

So, are cheaters born cheaters, or do certain situations cause people to cheat? Probably a little bit of both. Here are some situations that make people cheat:

1. Bored
I'd say this is the most common reason that people cheat.It's tough to keep that edge throughout a relationship. Things start off grand and then level off and then you both realize that it's still real life. When you meet someone else, that inaugural excitement of a new relationship kicks back in.

2. Dependence
At first glance, cheating seems like independent behavior. It could be interpreted as doing what you want, when you want. But I would argue that cheating is a dependent behavior. A cheater is dependent because they are not strong enough to break up with their significant other in order to get with the new person.

3. Confusion
Sometimes life or a particular situation can get to you. When the perfect storm of confusion is going on in your head, you make mistakes.

4. Because They Let You
If any girl /boy ever cheated on you, U'd break up with her/him immediately. Forgiving a cheater is putting up with it, and starts a vicious cycle. That person who cheated may lose respect for you and might continue to cheat-because they know they can get away with it, because you'll continue to take them back.

5. Nurturing
If someone is mistreating you, then your first instinct is to get away from him or her. But sometimes it's not that simple-maybe you are raising kids together. If you feel trapped in a bad relationship, it's only natural that you will run to the open arms of a person who treats you well.

6. Revenge
This is quite simple- an eye for an eye. Cheat on them if they cheat on you. If they continuously hurt you or abuse you in some way, you do it to get them back.

7. Confirmation of Attractiveness
Sometimes when you're in a long relationship, or if your significant other is taking you for granted, you begin to wonder if you're still attractive. Perhaps, because you were out on the dating circuit, you felt more attractive when you were single. If you have an affair, you've proven that a new person can be attracted to you.

8. The Thrill
Some people just enjoy the thrill of cheating: running around secretly, risking getting caught, andcreating thrilling moments with a forbidden romance.

9. They Don't Consider It Cheating, Even Though You Might
Relationships have that grey area, usually right before you become exclusive. He thinks date #4 is when you're "together," and you think date #2 is when you're "together." If you haven't talked about exclusivity, someone may think they are well within their rights to see other people, even though the other person in the relationship may not.

I don't understand why people don't break up as soon as they have an urge to cheat. Is it natural to have temptation, or is temptation a sign that the relationship is losing its fire? What reasons would you add to this list, and do you disagree with any? If you've ever cheated, why did you do it? Could you forgive a cheater? If you are single, but seeing a person who is in a committed relationship, does that make you a cheater?

@op when she ain’t what she used to be.

Like Adam, the typical man can’t resist the temptation of riper fruit, especially if the woman in his life has let herself go.

“If she got lazy or gained weight or just doesn’t take care of herself, a guy will start looking at other women.

Women who want to keep their men on a short leash need to take a “good, hard look in the mirror.
to round it up, is got to do with conscience.
