Why do men cheat? Are they greedy?

Answer 1

It is possible for everyone to cheat. The ones that do (male and female) have not found a partner they are secure and happy with. Something is missing and instead of fixing it they look somewhere else.
They take the easy way out.

Most people that cheat, never stop. So, if you meet somebody and start a relationship, while they are cheating, they will probably cheat on you , too.

Answer 2

There are many reasons why men cheat:

Almost every day, we receive emails to our problems page asking us why men cheat. It could be boyfriends, husbands or partners, all, or so it would seem, cheat.
There is probably not a simple answer to why men cheat. We guess each case is unique in its own way. Nevertheless, here are some reasons why men cheat. Perhaps you can read them and gain an insight into why your man may be cheating on you.

1. Sex - Yes, pure and simple. A man may cheat on you simply for sex. A man is able to have sex with another woman without having feelings for her. He can also have sex with another woman without affecting his emotions for his partner. So we guess the good news is that if your man has had sex with another woman, he may still be in love with you !

2. Ego - We all know how the male likes to have his ego boosted every now and then. Well having sex with a woman is a boost to his ego. The more women he has, the bigger the boost. If you don't believe us, just listen to guys talking about sex, they are more likely to talk about quantity rather than quality.

3. Excitement - Men, like us all, need excitement in their lives. Sometimes a relationship can squash that excitement, no matter how good the relationship. Having an affair brings some excitement back for them. We guess it's like having a new toy.

4. Because they can - How often have we heard this excuse? Yet it is true, men can cheat by having affairs and perhaps do it without too much conscience pricking.

5. Trophy hunting - This seems to go back to the very basics of male instincts. Young guys before they settle down are keen on trophy hunting - be it notches on the bed post, marks in a diary, empty wine bottles, photos etc. They are more interested in the number of girls they lay as a means of proving themselves to other guys and to themselves. It seems that some guys just cannot let go of this phase and may cheat in order to continue hunting trophies.

6. Fear of getting old - It seems that to some men, cheating is a way of proving to themselves and their mates that they are still young and able to 'pull'

Answer 3

Men are not the only one's who cheat. Remember this first and foremost. People cheat because of several reasons, but the biggest one is a lack of respect for the other person that they are involved with. It has nothing to do with greed. It gets several labels as to the reasons, ranging from "I just think that we are too different now", "we've grown apart", "your not there enough for me" and so on and so on. The next thing to remember is that if you are in a relationship, and you are not married, but still have sex, you have already given up the golden ring, for free, and guys see no reason to marry you if you "put out" without a wedding first.

Answer 4

The truth is men don't have a good reason to cheat. Neither do woman when they do but the racio's way off more men cheat then women. They say "it's genitic to spread our seed." But that's not the truth, Adam and Eve, not Adam and Eve and Michelle and Donna. It was two, Men are like dogs in that way, it seems they have no concience with feelings. Don't feel bad it's not you. It's them, they like to see how far they can go before being caught.

Answer 5

I think some men cheat because of the same reason some women cheat they don't feel the need or respect to be faithful

Answer 6

The issue is never the sex or some psycological undertone.

It is the chase.

Men want to find someone better, not for life but just to do it!

You could be married to Pamela anderson and some guys would still want to cheat.

Answer 7

It's instinctual. Humans, in fact all living organisms, are really nothing more than delivery mechanisms for their genes. One way to make sure that our genes continue to be passed on is to mate with as many females as possible. At the same time, staying with one female and helping her to raise the offspring is an effective strategy as well. But our genes have ended up hedging their bets by giving us both instincts. We have the urge to mate with just about any physically attractive female we can, however, we will stay with the one that we feel has the best chance of producing successful offspring. Of course, all this is going on in our unconscious minds and we're weren't even really aware it was happening till recently.

Answer 8

They are greedy. They do not want to give up everything they have in life and get divorced so they figure they can have their sex and have their little family life and enjoy both. This way they do not have to bother the wife for sex, and she doens't get to keep the house after she gets rid of him.

Answer 9

Cheaters only cheat because the people they cheat on let them get away with it. Sounds like you have personal issues you should address here if you're having this problem.

Answer 10

Not all men cheat, women do as well and people do so out of many reasons, mostly selfish sin. SELF. I. No Other
