Why Do Men Cheat?


I really liked this clip because of the way it presented both sides, and the general good advice at the close.

I know this is difficult for a lot of people to understand, but men cheat for the same reason as women. There's no secret to why humans don't follow some stupid societal rule.

Maybe some do; but I maintain that the reasons are somewhat different...

Males can/will drop their pants when/if opportunity presents itself. They will even trick females to get the goods with words, gifts, etc.

Females tend to be more about the emotional aspects. They may feel unappreciated in their current relationship- due to a lack of romance/attention/love.

Most women have to be pursued, convinced, and coaxed to cheat.

I'm sure there are females who can/will cold heartedly cheat, but that is usually a male trait.

I have known both sexes who have been guilty of cheating, and the stories/reasons are always the same.

I have known a few exceptions.

Why was I expecting that? Just making sure, but you weren't suggesting that when women cheat, it may because they were "neglected" or brainwashed into it, while men cheat just because they're heartless were you?

The men in the video are expressing their opinions just like everyone on this forum.....and as is typical when you ask this question....they've all got EXCUSES that they somehow feel would absolve them of guilt.

I wish I could see the video but it's blocked at work so I'll have to wait.

There isn't any excuse for cheating. It's cowardly and weak. Whatever the reasons (perceived or real) that you're not happy, there is NO excuse to cheat. If you're unhappy, either fix it or leave. Don't line up the next person to keep your bed warm and keep you company so you don't have to leave and, *gasp*, be alone with yourself.

Every man sees a lot of single women....does that mean they should have sex with them??..everyone has days where they just dress for comfort....does that mean they should be cheated on?...If there's boredom in the bedroom...spice it up WITH your spouse....everyone who is "under the influence", as said in video....does NOT cheat....all excuses...and poor ones at that.

The reasons why people cheat are varied and many - you can't pigeonhole everyone into one mold.

Oops, I meant reason(s).

I watched this video yesterday night and all I heard was excuses after excuses even though it was all opinions.
