I think us men (not me of course) cheat for lack of sex at home. We don't get any and we just go out there and try to find some. As opposed to women, when they cheat they do it for several reasons, that being sexual, sentimental, out of revenge, among others. That of course is IMHO.

Asking why a person cheats can never be narrowed to one reason. Maybe you were happy and he was not. Maybe he gave you signs and you either did not see them or blew them off. Maybe he just wanted to date different people and you did not. Maybe he is just a dog and being with one women does not appeal to him. There are many reasons why a person cheats and if you take you look at your situation without interjecting your emotions you may understand the reason why. Is he begging to come back to you. The one thing women need to understand is that for most men cheating is just a physical act. emotions has nothing to do with it. Most women could never cheat with a guy they barely know. Men have no problems with this and when we say we don't care about the women we just as well could mean it. No one knows why he cheated since we don't know him. Sorry it happened but we live and learn.

I think men cheat for same reasons that women do,which are too myriad to list. Personally,I'm sick of hearing,that the main reason men cheat,is because they can't control their baser instincts.
We have minds,were not animals.

This thread was truly depressing!!! Ever heard the saying "I don't care where you get your apetite as long as you come home for dinner?"

I guess we should all be so lucky.

And to the person that commented on men getting bored eating the same sandwhich every day!!! ...what are we supposed to do?? Add toppings?? lol

Why do women cheat? I've never cheated, never even thought of it, yet I've been cheated on. So it's a rhetorical question

I think people in general cheat out of selfishness. They are not thinking of the other person, only of what they are getting out of it. They are making a situation bad not only for the person they are with, but the person they are cheating on as well. I think that men and women both cheat because they are self centered and do not care what the consequences may be. Neither men or women have more of a reason to cheat.

I do think that people really don't take dating very seriously anymore. I think many people who are merely dating cheat without a second thought. To them it is nothing more than changing socks. Now I've never cheated and the only guy who ever cheated on me didn't hurt me in any way shape or form because I wasn't emotionally attached to him, so I think I'm pretty objective on this subject.
