Why do men cheat?

[Canadian Rider]

Men Cheat. Cheating ie hiding it and not admitting to it. I know that some women cheat but I would suggest that the percentages are much more skewed towards men doing it than women. Surveys and my gut feeling ...

Once again, men cheat because love doesn't last. Most of time. Um, for example, I would like if given the chance to have fun with women of different countries, races, and hair color. Will that happen?

Well, I asked a magic 8 ball at wal-mart and it said keep dreaming, so I guess I keep dreaming the dream.

Sometimes, the call of the cooch is just too irresistible to ignore.

I dunno, I personally could never stomach a monogamous relationship.

Hell, I really don't have an even slight interest in cheating either. I mean, I get the whole concept of things getting very mundane and similar, and other women possibly representing something exciting or varied...but it's truly not worth it.

I'm probably extremely naive and romantic, but I've always had this concept in my head of what a relationship should be. A kind of symbiotic, cohesive unit with an assurity and perspective of an everlasting system of mutual care and support.

And that, to me, is worth way more than any other connection - physical or otherwise - could offer.

What studies are those?

Most suggest the cheating is about equal, some even more so for women.

And that's taking into account that men are much less likely to admit that they have been cheated on.

What you're saying sounds exactly like a monogamous relationship. Yet you're saying you could never stomach one?

The same reason women do.

Well that's just sad. Man can't say what's happened then he needs a backbone or a pair.

I can't remember exactly where I was reading it, but for some time it was much more slanted towards men doing the cheating.

Things/Times may be a changing ... all that means is that everybody is kind of *****y then ...

Cheating is pretty low. Be honest and get out if you're not happy.

People just seem to be getting dumber as the years go by and behaviours are being accepted as acceptable that aren't honorable.

I'd say people are just more open about it. Though the statistics may have changed.

As society becomes more egalitarian, it's not surprising that women become more like men (for better or worse). If they weren't already.

1st: Anybody find it weird that somebody always has the answer when your in a forum or comment ring. I say that sarcastically

2nd: Anybody find it weird that you would find an answer to this in a Superherohype forum. I say that sarcastically.

Last: Just accept that there is no "one" answer. Everyone's situation and universe is different which will dictate the reasons or answers as to "why" for that person. You cant really answer a general question for all, i mean your not the one in the individuals shoes. The answer can be very complex or very simple etc...This goes for both genders,, im not gonna label men as the sole cheater.

Just seems to me that some in here want to give an answer based on their moral code which may not apply to someone else,, like i said everyone is different and lives in their universe. I dont cheer for cheating but im not in your position either. Maybe you were honest with the chick and she thinks your supposed to be in a relationship with her, now she wants to label you a cheater,,,,,,, it could go on and on

Peace and i love lamp
