Why Men Cheat
by Abby Schwartz and Eileen Livers
They have wandering eyes. They come home from one-too-many late nights
at the 'office'; with lipstick on their collars. To whatever degree, men
do cheat and they do it more than women. In the original Kinsey Report,
published more than 50 years ago, approximately 60 per cent of men,
compared to 30 per cent of women, were unfaithful to their spouses before
the age of 40. Those numbers have remained much the same in subsequent
studies. The bottom line is why do men cheat?iVillagers believe men cheat
for the following five reasons:
1. SEX.
Men just can't control their eyes, hands and ...
'Women need a reason to have an affair, men just need a place' -

'Men will cheat if given the opportunity. They are just like that! They
can be happy in their relationship and life, but if the opportunity to
cheat is there, they will do it! I really believe they can't help it.' -

'I asked my boyfriend why men cheat.... He said, 'Men do it for sex'.
He said that a man can have sex with another woman and not feel anything
for her' - pismotam
2. Quick Fix.
Although sneaking around takes a lot of effort, many iVillagers believe
that more effort is required to salvage a rocky relationship.
'People have affairs because they are lazy. It is easier to go running
off with the office tramp than it is to admit something is wrong with your
relationship and make a commitment to work on it' - jesusfreak1
'I think if people took half the time and effort they put into sneaking
around and channelled that energy into making a great marriage or
relationship, they would realise that, most of the time, what they are
looking for has always been with them.' - who_dat
'Sometimes the thought of divorcing and changing everyone's lives is
much too hard to handle. So the easier choice is an affair. I don't think
it's the right choice, but most people will take the easier road, thinking
no one will be hurt because they are keeping the marriage and family
intact. - lovestargazer |
