why do men cheat? and then lie about it?

Because the truth hurts.

To make such a generalization is brash, at best. Men lie as much on the internet as they do "in real life." Most men and women lie at one point in a given relationship to try and hide problems or make themselves more attractive to their partners. This of course can be problematic, but don't be afraid to love again. While most men and women do lie, most of the lies told are for the benefit of the other partner. If you find that your partner is lying only to benefit themselves, then you should quickly bring them up on it, or release them.

It's a biological drive. Not all men act like that, some women do. Some people will be deceitful for no reason at all. People are complicated.

Well, men and women alike cheat. Not everyone mind you. We are all different and have our reasons for cheating or not cheating. Speaking on behalf of men, my personal opinion is that if a man cheats, he does think about it, even if its at a subconscious level. I have never cheated on anyone I have been with, but that's my choice. I prefer to end the relationship if I feel that I want to be with another woman. Cheating isn't worth the headaches or the risk of losing someone you might care about.\n\nI think if someone cheats, they have very low morals and isn't someone worth being with. This is why I believe that most people get involved in serious relationships too early in life. They should be out there having fun and enjoying their youth. There will be plenty of time to get involved in a serious relationship. Once we learn what love is really about, we can make better decisions on who will might want to spend the rest of our lives with.

Why start you relationship off lying...

Why I think a lot of men and women lie to get what they want is because it's easier to lie..to go sneaking around cheating..or doing things behind their partners back. I think that when a person does this..it just shows that their cowards because usually people do it so they don't get caught or are afraid of getting caught...just be honest and deal with the consequences...

i thik men cheat because the are insecure and have to prove that to themselve sthat they are real men when in all actuallity it would have taken more of a man to stay loyal but i think you can expect him to cheat again but as a male i find that most are probably cheaters unfortunately and i think its very common and accepted among men of men to have multiple women even when commited to one

I'm sure that there are guys who are faithful when they are away just like there are some women who are faithful while they are alone.  But the majority of them probably cheat and think that no one will find out.

I was cheated on once in my life and it wasn't a fun experience. I believe women and men cheat for different reasons - guys usually cheat for sex or different sex then what they are getting, and women usually need more of an emotional attachment. This is totally my opinion and not necessarily true in every situation.  I also believe that once somebody cheats and a trust is broken, it is very hard to remain in that relationship and be happy.

It's not men or women it's people.  People cheat...always have always will.  Same as lying, stealing etc.  You just need to find someone who doesn't.  That's the hard part. If someone cheats on you, most likely you were not meant to be together in the first place.

Because they know they have lost you and that you ment more than the gal he decided to cheat on you with. He wasnt thinking when he did it. Trust me, My husband did it after 3 years of marriage, he NEVER did it again, He said it was the most stupid thing he had ever though of doing and he really didnt think of the consquences,  we have been married 10 years now.

I'm sure men/women have their excuses for why they cheat, some are loneliness, temptation, not getting what they want at home.  They are all just lame excuses for doing something wrong, though.  They should deal with the real problem and not cheat and hurt other people.

I don't like doing long answers ... so i'll TRY keep this short .\n\nMOST WOMEN LIE TO THEMSELVES....\n\n...and not just to men ... they actually make excuses for what they do because they are conditioned to believe that cheating for pure physical reasons is something that only men do ... but those days are long gone...  all this nonsense about an emotional connection (b4 a woman cheats) does not fool real men like me ... \n\n...men just admit that they are weak where this is concerned and accept the guilt that comes with it...  ownership.  \nguys nowadays are too busy being bullied by women ... to pull their heads out of their A$$es, ...stand up and be MEN\n\nDr Bad\nNo one bashes BAd\n\nps. you have been asking some really good questions lately ... this is one of them... keep it up ... or i'll lose concentration.  ;-))

Because they think it makes them more manly and more desirable. If they would understand that has nothing to do with what kind of man they are, the world would be a better place. Plus, men are just born to lie!

Most likely not.  Men who cheat tend to keep on cheating.  The real question is did he confess it or did you find out?  If he confessed he's at least show he regrets it, and is trying to be more honest.  If you found out he'll just be more careful in the future.

NO! WRONG!! Men don't cheat if they're already in love......they cheat because they're NOT in love!  A person in love will NEVER cheat!
