Why do men/women cheat  ?
602771
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.

yes, yes, yes!  I have been married with my huband for 11 years, with him for 15 and have never never cheated.  However, there have been many women who wanted him.  In today's women there is this idea that married men are better and will risk their own marraige to be with someone else.  Maybe they are bitter at their men and are getting them back.  All I know is that women today are catching up to the men with this dirtly litte secret.

*Yawns* Why are men so hippocricial about cheating when they do it equal or more than women anyway??... Sorry dude but I found men to be very untruthful and will never admit to being wrong as well. It's not about gender it's about human nature.

It's my opinion that it doesn't matter whether it's a woman or a man...I, myself, would not get serious or even date someone I knew had not be faithful.  Even if that person was unfaithful only once.  I could never trust them.  It takes a lot of &*$^%* to cheat!  I've been the victim of one who cheated on me.  We were married.  It seems to be a thrill that they seek, even when the consequences of getting caught could devastate their life.  Who would be stupid enough to take that chance?   I don't understand.

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.  ;-))

Let me clarify . . . guys do not always cheat on their partners . . . and by asking this question . . . we know you are a sexist male basher like the heffers from the View.\n\nLook at them and look at you . . . no wonder men cheat on them and you.\n\nResearch has been done about this . . . I know I've answered similar questions . . . . \n\nLooks like everyone is going through another sexist trip . . . I've answered this question before . . . and as usual women ignore the facts . . . . so here it again.\n\nKinsey Report, published more than 50 years ago, approximately 60 per cent of men, compared to 30 per cent of women, were unfaithful to their spouses before the age of 40. \n\nAccording to Maggie Scarf, author of "Intimate Partners," first published in 1987 by Random House, "Most experts do consider the 'educated guess' that at the present time some 50 to 65 percent of husbands and 45 to 55 percent of wives become extramaritally involved by the age of 40 to be a relatively sound and reasonable one." \n\nNote that the above adultry statistics of the prevalence of affairs were made more than a decade ago; so based on changes in society during the intervening years, the current percentage of the population who have had affairs is probably somewhat HIGHER. For instance, the continuing increase of women in the workplace means that the numbers for women having affairs is probably similar to those for men—about 60%.\n\nCosmo recently conducted an online poll in 2004 of 1,000 men and 1,000 women, and 55 percent of guys and a shocking 59 percent of ladies said they have cheated on a partner. \n\nYes . . . guys cheat . . . but so do women . . . do not ignore the facts.  The question really should be . . . why do women cheat more than men . . . because the last information I've found proved . . . and it was a women's magazine poll.  You proved it yourself.

because they arent really in love.\nIf they actually loved the woman they were with and she fulfilled him he wouldnt cheat.

Men are biggest idiots. You give them what they ask for and the first opportunity they get they cheat on you. They like change and they like the attention. Sometimes they want to look cool in front of their friends and say stuff like, oh yeah I nailed her. They think they are funny, but they don't know how stupid that is. \nGuys like nasty girls. They use them for pleasure. They marry good girls b/c they can stay home and take care of the kids while they screw around. \nWhen guys are in a relationship or a marriage for a while, their wive don't pay attention to them like they use to at the beginning of their relationship. I think it is women fault that their men cheat on them. If they would pay attention just a little to their men everything would be different. \nThere are many different reasons why men cheat on women. We don't understand them and they don't understand us but we can't live without each other. :)

well it is because you love him and you are use to him and you dont want the relationship to end and its just like other things in a relationship you think it can be fixed,cheating in a serious relationships destroys it you no longer can trust that person and it causes alot of emotional pain and guilt on both people it really is a selfish act on that persons part too but us as woman are the ones that try to fix things and we have the mother instinct so that is why we put up with alot of bs but usually after cheating a relationship doesnt last and if it does it is never the same it has been broken in two it is sad but you will find someone else someday just dont put up with it a you will grow from this experience good luck

There is no one answer as to why men are unfaithful.  Some men cheat when things start getting too serious in a relationship.  Some men cheat because they are just true dogs and think they can get away with it.  Some men cheat because their woman lets them get away with it.  Some men allow themselved to get caught up in emotions with another woman and things go too far.  But please know, that not all men cheat.  There are some good ones out there, sometimes it's just hard to find them.

Most men enjoy cheating...they enjoy the thrill. As well as they may still like the girl that they are with but want another girl as well. Instead of leaving the girl they hope that the girl they are cheating on is a forgiving one as some girls are. That way they get the best of both worlds.

Probably for similar reasons women cheat and lie to them.

first, it is NOT okay if a guy cheats...they are just as guilty as a girl when she cheats...\n\nsecond, there is double standards in this society....either way, the girl is always going to be stuck with the bad reputation while the guys gets to be the player or the pimp daddy...it's never fair

Men are weak and so are women.  Both cheat the same, actually statistics reflect that women cheat more; women are smarter at not getting caught, we've learned from men in all the prior decades.  \n\n[Married] humans can fall weak for someone else and realize at the end that we made a huge mistake because we realize that the person we are with is a "better" person.  \n\nThe grass may seem greener, but it hardly ever is.  When humankind realizes that, cheating may not be such a big problem.\n\nMen are smart about this, knowing to differentiate between "love" and "lust". That's why they run home and tell their wife they LOVE them.

Sometimes (rarely) its just about sex, but usually not (even with guys).  Cheating is symptomatic of something seriously wrong in the relationship or seriously flawed in the emotional makeup of the cheater.   It is important to find out what the real reason for the cheating behavior is - it's not always easy or fun.  Good Luck!
