Why do men cheat?
Posted: 10/12/2009 5:29:14 PM
Why would a man if un happy in marriage, go out hunting with the guys for a weekend...meet a girl, play it off like they are single? cheat....and then tell the girl they are married afterwards? This is B.S. I just dont get why lie about it, let the girl make the choice for herself if she wants to be with a married man. If one is unhappy why not just get divorced?

Men cheat for the same reason women do... cause they want to

*Gasp* I know

And for people like that, you feelings very likely never enter the equation.

Gurl, you gotta start looking for the indentation on their ring finger!

Why? Because they are cowards and pigs who want a wifey to toil at home taking care of the kids and darning their socks while they go out to play. Doh.

Well, i will start off "cliche" not all men cheat, just the men you are dealing with. Remember players get married too and they feel the need to have children as well as men who don't cheat. I say the girl "does" make the choice even if it's a bad one, no one put a gun to her head and said "you see this guy right here, Talk to him!" People are deceitful in the world that's just the way it is. Why not get a divorce? he probably didn't sign a prenup.

I feel a men are scum thread coming.....

If you are paranoid about men cheating you will attract a man who cheats. Relax, change your attitude and train of thought, you might attract... a decent guy.

Or keep slamming guys, doesn't matter. Keep in mind women cheat as much as men :)

finding one night stands from a bar isn't a good idea. don't expect anything good coming from them.

You mean why do some men cheat? Because I never cheat and none of my male friends cheated, but the reason why a married man would cheat is simply because he would like more than 1 woman and spread his seed like a animal does but MOST men control that urge. And I think a married man in a unhappy marriage would rather be with somebody than nobody meaning he rather have someone new to go to after leaving his wife.

There is no excuse for cheating. There is also no vault on loyalty. Men (and women) who cheat are dishonest. The bigger question is what caused them to be so dissatisfied.

the reasons are pretty much the same for men and women. and strangers on the internet can make up any sh|t to tell you that they want. so if you want credible info, get it from people you trust: your girlfriends.

Some men cheat because the woman he married did the "Bait and Switch". Seen it numerous times, the woman acts nice and is out going etc and as soon as the marriage happens comes the switch. They become controlling, never want to do anything etc. I truely believe this happens both ways, a lot of men will act a certain way until after marriage and then the reality sets in that forever with this one person is a long time.

It's been touched upon already, but it's not just men who cheat, women do it and can be just as heartless about it also.

It could be for a variety of reasons.

I don't think you really want an answer I think you are just venting,,,,but anyways men cheat because they are genetically programmed to propagate the species....the more women the more offspring its simply a matter of preservation of the species....Or not.....

Some people fail to recognize a good relationship when the have it. Others tied themselves into a bad one, and made that realization after the fact.

Serious resolve and commitment are required when people find themselves surrounded by temptation. A person in a strong relationship faces heavy pressure to cheat because they don't wear the mask that comes with having to figure out the prospective partner and because they are, generally, happy.

Add to the complication the fact that alcohol is so readily available everywhere.

Men and women cheat. There are worse things that could happen. Be happy your parents didn't marry you off at the age of thirteen to some polygamous old man.

Core values have their thresholds. A man who might allow you to treat him badly or hold out on sex with him might accept it for a few days, but keep in up for months on end, and he just might stray. You could just as easily lose him to temptation by giving him too much freedom.


This is B.S. I just dont get why lie about it, let the girl make the choice for herself if she wants to be with a married man.


Agreed.


If one is unhappy why not just get divorced?


Frowned upon by most religions.

If one walks away each time they are unhappy, they'll never find a lasting relationship. It's a tricky challenge to determine when to stick it out, and when to bail (especially to do so while hurdling life's random obstacles).

ok. I agree that not all men cheat... I agree woman do the same. I learned my lesson when I was young not to cheat...Cheating made me feel so guilty that It wasnt pleasurable, to say the least! I do not cheat, it is not worth it...If you are not happy do not stay with the person! I guess what I am asking is not why men cheat, or woman, but I guess for what reason do people play with others feelings. I know that we do what we want, go after what we want regardless of others feelings, but why? cant we be honest, and see how far it gets us?

How can you be so sure?

Mademoiselle, how can you be so sure that he cheated? or that he was even married?


Here's another version:
It was a one night stand, he didn't want anything coming out of it so in the morning he makes up a story that he is married... and have five kids. Oppss!


As for your version:
Getting cheated on in a relationship is probably one of the worst feelings you can ever have. It has lasting effects and it can completely shatter your ability to trust the opposite gender. Heck, I'll be surprised even if you see your male friends the same way after that. Needless to say, its a pretty intense feeling that gets generalized. So everyone in the opposite gender becomes a liar and a cheat, as far as you're concerned.

Why people cheat?
Cheap thrills, trying to live the glory days, apparently not getting enough at home, bored out of their lives or marriages etc.





I know that we do what we want, go after what we want regardless of others feelings, but why? cant we be honest, and see how far it gets us?

With cheaters, its the lack of conscious in the first place, the reason, why they're cheating. And no they don't think about what they see as "harmless fun" can have devastating effects on their victims and that includes their better half. Sad really.

So which one are you? The married woman who lists herself as single here, or the woman who refuses even to accept mail from someone honestly seeking Intimate Encounter who dives into bed with someone she just met on a "hunting weekend?" Or is this something that happened to A Friend(TM)?

I have concidered that version. I acutally thaught that it might be a lie, though he and I live nearly an hour away from one another, and was not expecting a relationship from it, just possibly the chance that there could be somthing.... Yeah, is it so nieve that one could randomly meet a great guy on a whim and get to know them and it may actually come of somthing? He had a child, and a wife he told me, his friends introduced him as a singl individual.... sooo I was under the impression that he was single, and he ran with it.

I am the one whom has been single and dedicated to my children for the past year, whom rarely gets on here to acutually reply to any inquiries.... and whom is skeptical as to whether there are any men on here whom are acutlly seriouse...and are not a bunch of bullshitters! I dont sleep around, I havent been sexually active in quite some time because I am seriouse about finding someone seriouse. I did not say we slept with one another....I said he cheated.... I believe that cheating also includes kissing...and other things...

They lie about being unmarried so the women will have sex with them. Simple cause and effect. If they didn't lie, the odds of getting sex would go way down. See how that works?

All I can say to you is the more you hate someone, the more you're going to hurt yourself. I been through this and I know its hard, and all your hate is justified but if only you can let go of all that hate, you can feel love again and be better like before.



p.s. Sometimes what we want to deflect is what he end up attracting. So think positive. My thoughts are with you and I hope you feel better, mademoiselle.
