As a man, I could not keep myself away to cast my own thoughts into this thread.You have to remember that men are programmed in a certain way, and so they are so programmed for a reason. Therefore, men on the instinctual level not necessarily be programmed to be polygamous.Some men are polygamous in certain times of their lives. Some are at all times. Some men like to be fooling around with multiple partners (at different times of course). Generally speaking, many of us happen to be very happy in our committed relationships and we dont look for anyone.Many of us humans have an instinct towards staying with one partner for a period of time, be it for a few weeks, to a few months, or for the majority of our existence. Desires vs. actual practice are worlds apart!
As far as cheating is concerned, not only men, but women do cheating as well.
Here are the ten reasons that I figured it out why men cheat.
1. Because they had the option. The old saying “men are only as faithful as their options” can sometimes ring true. Men don’t get offered sex as often as women so when the opportunity does arise, it can be very difficult for them to turn it down.
2. It boosts their ego. Sometimes men don’t feel like they are attractive to the opposite sex any more and when a woman shows some interest, not only does a man react, he may allow her to stroke his ego and more. There is nothing like the thrill of the chase to men on the hunt. When they are finally rewarded for their efforts, their egos swell even larger.
3. You grow apart. Maybe the two of you did not have as much in common as you thought.
4. You argue a lot. Men will sometimes cheat to get away from an overly critical or argumentative partner.
5. They have fallen out of love. Sometimes men become so comfortable in a relationship, they don’t know how to get out. They may be staying in the relationship because of children or financial reasons. However, they feel like they are missing out on love and may seek it out elsewhere. In their mind, this is as close to win-win as they can get.
6. Your sex life sucks. If a man has a disinterested partner or is not getting enough sex to fulfill him, there is a good chance he will have an affair. Just because you have a husband or boyfriend, does not mean you can stop trying. It takes a little bit of effort to keep your sex life from getting boring and non-existent. Some men cheat because they want to try new sexual things that their current partner will not try.
7. To get revenge. A man will sometimes cheat if he finds out his partner was cheating on him.
8. Trying new things.... new sex in life...
9. To see if they can get away with it. If a man has the attitude of “what she doesn’t know, won’t hurt her,” he may cheat to see if he is sneaky and smart enough to get away with it.
10. Because you have allowed it in the past. If you have forgiven a cheating man a couple of times, they are more than likely going to cheat again because they already know if they plead enough, you will forgive them. Reasons why men cheat can be more complex than the above list or even be a combination of a few different reasons. Nevertheless, no reason is good enough reason to lie and be dishonest.
