why do women cheat?

Answer 1

Because they are lonely feel less then loved and some just cheat because they are whores and need more attention then one man can provide

Answer 2

If I remember correct, men and women do both cheat, however, 90% of the cheating done by men is done by only 10% of the male population. However it is very different for women, some will say it is a deep seeded need to be with only strong men, part of the shopping behavior, but different cultures reveal very different thing's. In the west however it is thought that as much as 70% of the women who are in a relationship for 17 years or more will in fact cheat. So I guess it's because of the 10% if male population that is taking advantage of it. In other cultures the number of females who cheat is extremely low, while the male ratio remains very much the same. Strange isn't it.

Answer 3

Women who cheat , cheat for the same reasons men who cheat, cheat. They're low life's who can't keep their word, and stay faithful to their spouses. And often cheaters have little or no control over their libido. Usually they have low self esteem and rather than approach relationship issues maturely they go banging around to feel self fulfilled & accepted. A high percentage of sposes who cheat do so with the hope of getting caught. They want their spouse to termiante the marriage because they don't have the balls to do so. Sorry to be so blunt but it's the truth! If someone cheats on you doesn't that tell you they aren't good enough for you? Not every woman cheats. Nor does every man cheat.

Answer 4

It might not be the same reason men cheat. Many factors lead to the infidelity but I believe it got to do with the character and kind of person the cheater is. Anyone with strong will will not sway and cheat. Thats how I think. Another reason could be the women is trying to get back at the men.

Answer 5

Marriage is a contract, but has an emotional dimension.
If one believes the other has behaved in bad faith (on
whatever level), the perception is he or she has broken
the contract and revenge sex may be in the offing.
I didn't feel I was cheating when I went outside the marriage
for consensual fun which didn't harm the family but only
lifted my self esteem. Men as well as women need to be
needed by someone. My wife rejected me for 10 years
and I felt that was the limit. I have since moved on and
am in a very satisfying committed relationship. I
would never imagine having to resort to cheating again
because the communication is excellent.

Communication has to come before sex;
if you ignore it you must pay the price.

Answer 6

Because men forget women are emotional and when they lose the part of the relationship where they feel beautiful and special and connected they get drawn in by some one who makes them feel that way again. I know someone who was a habitual cheater and she didn't necessarily do it for the sex it was more about the way the other man made her feel and how her husband was always too tired or too busy to pay attention to her or remind her she was still a beautiful woman and wife. You start seeing eachother as financial stability and the other parent but theres no connection anymore. You can't lose sight of what brought you so close in the beginning or all those feelings slowly die and you are just left with two people passing eachother in and out of their seperate lives. It is sad so many marriages fail and with so little time left in the home or time left at all in our busy world I think maybe that is why. It leaves people unconnected from our spouses and put in close proximity with other people daily. It isn't just women who cheat, there are plenty of men who feel basically the same way women do, their wife is now so caught up in working and being a mother there is nothing left over for them. Too tired or too busy- things just drift apart and he starts looking for someone who makes him feel valuable again because she is treating him like a coworker instead of like the knight in shining armor that she saw him as they were first together. If you lose sight of remebering to tell your spouse you think they are great or thank them for the little things as time goes on it just becomes expected or unnoticed and therefore things stop being done. I think people set out mostly in search of feelings and it leads to the rest.

Answer 7

Both men and women cheat for probably the same reason they are looking for more or they feel like they are missing out on something, you know (the grass is greener on the other side) (they don't know what they have until its gone) or just don't care or appreciate what they have.

Answer 8

Women can be unfaithful in relationships due to the pain of loneliness, revenge because of betrayal of a partner cheating, or seeking attention and admiration due to poor self-esteem. These reasons do not justify the behavior but help us to understand it and find solutions.

Because of emotional needs not met and the hurt that accompanies this lack. Normally, women don't cheat for cheating's sake, but rather in response to an emotional need that has not been met.

Is it sometimes just physical lust? Occasionally, but I do not see much of this.

Men are raised to be casual about sex, while women are raised to be chaste. Thus, the issue is not one of infidelity, but of social acceptance. If you are a woman sleeping with another man, not only are you cheating, but you are considered less honorable.

Men have been conditioned to play the field and enjoy a variety of women before settling down. Women, on the other hand, are expected to repress their sexual desires in the name of love. Those who refuse to repress their sexuality are labeled as "`fast'" or "`loose.'"

Underlying all these reasons for cheating is a poor sense of self-esteem. We all need an adequate amount of affection and admiration from our partners. One way or another this attention falters at times and the person can become insecure and start looking for the attention is other places.

Women can especially have this problem since our culture puts so much emphasis on physical beauty, sex appeal, and the ability to attract men. The truly secure woman knows that her value rests not in these attributes but in her depth of character, her spiritual self, and in her self-reliance.

Unfortunately, there is very little in our culture to encourage this self awareness and many women unconsciously find their worth in the attention they receive from the men in their lives. And, when it is not coming from their partner they are susceptible to receiving it from other men.

Few would say that any of these reasons for cheating are justifiable. Whether it is boredom, self-esteem, revenge, or the pain that relationships often bring, the answer is to go to work on the relationship, not to have an affair. We can understand the motivations for affairs, but we still know that they are harmful and someone usually gets hurt badly.

Indeed, there are consequences that both parties must accept once infidelity has weakened the bonds of the relationship. At the heart of a man's disappointment and angst will be his ego. He will wonder if there was something wrong with him that led his partner to seek someone else. So, it is important for a woman to be honest about why she cheated, and a man has to decide if he can accept that.

Answer 9

Dont say bad words to girls!
Not Just Girls cheats but some of bad boy cheats too.

Answer 10

Because they have no respect for themselves or thier partners...I dont buy the fact that they cheat because they are not getting something from thier spouse. If you are not happy in your relationship you have the option of getting out first instead of cheating. Thats no excuse. Leave first then find what you are missing.
