Why do men think they can get away with anything?

Love is a two way street...love, hate.  The thing is...forgiving/forgetting. If you love him enough to forgive and forget.  I have learned one thing in life, you have to be COMFORTABLE with the person you are with! Once the comfort is lost, the love is lost. The old adage once a cheat, always a cheat, I don't believe, I believe people can change, but you have to be able to talk to each other and have that comfort to delve into each others feelings. There are lots of fish in the sea, and just because you are connected with one, doesn't mean you can't be connected to someone who wouldn't cheat on you, even though it sucks to start over again...talk, listen both ways. He needs to be just as open as you and you BOTH need to deal with why it happened.

If you are accused of a crime,a lot of people try to use this defence as away to get a lesser sentence.  They say that they were temporarily insane;not in their right frame of mind when they committed the crime. Then they usually have to be evaluated by a psychiatrist to gaet their input for court.

They do it because they can. They get a thrill out of physical domination. They think they know better than you do about what you want and what you don't want. \n\nI don't know who this person is to you, if you have a choice to be in their presence or not, but if this behavior occurs more than you can bear, you need to avoid the person, or if you can't avoid him, get help from someone that you trust and has some influence with the perpetrator. \n\nHave courage. These types of men will respect a person demanding their feelings be know and respected or if he is not so caring, he will avoid you because you are too high maintence in his opinion. Either way your courage will get the result you desire.

Men don't like to admit they did something wrong or they don't know something. Have you ever heard of grown men saying "I'm sorry?" It just doesn't happen. They will always say "I couldn't help it." "It wasn't my fault." It just in genes.

Afraid of being caught... anyone who says otherwise may not be being too honest w/themselves.  Who doesn't want something for nothing?!

It is not that they are not well-educated, nor is it that they are stupid. They seem to be the most upstanding of men, and yet they are not what they seem, for they have stopped asking "Am I doing the right thing?" They assume that with a certain degree of power comes carte blanche. Everything they do is right. They turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to any consequence of their actions which may be unpleasant. Why should they upset their golf game?\n“A man who has in mind an apparent advantage and promptly proceeds to dissociate this from the question of what is right shows himself to be mistaken and immoral. Such a standpoint is the parent of assassinations, poisonings, forged wills, thefts, malversations of public money, and the ruinous exploitation of provincials and Roman citizens alike. Another result is passionate desire — desire for excessive wealth, for unendurable tyranny, and ultimately for the despotic seizure of free states. These desires are the most horrible and repulsive things imaginable. The perverted intelligences of men who are animated by such feelings are competent to understand the material rewards, but not the penalties. I do not mean penalties established by law, for these they often escape. I mean the most terrible of all punishments: their own degradation.”Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 B.C.)

Men and women both have a bad habit of doing this. We all are at blame when something like this happens. If we shift the blame onto someone else we are not getting the insight we need to grow.........

Men have a goal. Once they hit that goal, you are no longer attractive. When you really put up a fight, or stand up for yourself by respecting yourself, he will too. But if you give up the 'goodies' real quick, he's gone.

Same reason why men do.

Men just have the instinct to protect the one they love. It's primal. He probably wasn't showing off, it's a code among them too. You don't do things like that and if you do then there are consequences. I learned this from my ex. I know how you feel, I can definately take care of myself but my ex always thought he had to protect me. It's sweet. If that guy really hit you, then he deserved a shot in the mouth.

Women have this thing of wanting to believe the man will change and they can work things out because they want it to work so badly whereas men have the right thing in mind...They know that they would never be able to trust the woman and that it would bother them forever and it's an ego thing for men so they are able to walk away.\nWomen won't let things be over until they say it's over.

Because men get tired of what they know they "have".  A wife is like an insurance policy that is always there when he cant get any play somewhere else.  As`sad as it is, its the truth.

It's just popular society belief that men are the brave and noble ones who must fight to protect the women and children. Ya know, one of those old fashioned sayings that developed back before women's rights and all that jazz.

Maybe it's because you are really attractive and partly because you are blonde, they might be thinking they can get away with it anyway. \n\nOr maybe because you tolerate them. Stay away from the "home for the aged".
