Answer 1

For the same reasons that women cheat.

Answer 2

You know this question just kills me. When any body asks, why do men cheat....why do women cheat.....the first thing that most people say is why to they cheat.....the same reasons. Well, I say that "some" cheat cause they are not happy at home. Some cheat just because it was there. Some cheat for ego and insecure reasons. The person being cheated on could be the best thing in the world that has ever happened to cheater, but the cheater either just don't care or they think that nobody will ever know, or that it is ok to have a "friend" out there that they can go to when things get a little tough at home, the grass appears to be greener on the other side of the fence. There a lot of reasons why any body cheats, but that is no excuse for cheating as there is NO EXCUSE for cheating. If you are not happy with the one you already have or you think that you just might be wanting to try that other person out and just see what they are made of, before you make that move....break up or get a divorce if you are married. Or else most people are going to look at the trash that you are. Cheating does not always have any thing to do how good or bad things are at home. And men don't do it just because that is the way they are either. I happen to know several men out there that are married and they do not cheat at all. Most cheaters don't talk to their mates/partners/spouses when they are even thinking about it. To be honest, there is no one answer that anybody cheats on anybody. Please excuse any mispelled words here.

Answer 3

Some do. People can be stuborn. Some women can be very sensative. If you come out and say, "I'm not satisfied right now with xyz," then the response is to break down and cry and accuse him of cheating or of wanting to cheat. Read the questions on here from women. You'll see lots of, "He looked at his reflection in the toaster this morning... is he cheating?" and "There are women two buildings over from where he works, should I be worried?" and, "yesterday I stayed home from work and counted seven girls who walked by on the sidewalk! Is my man cheating?" and "My man told me that he thinks my friends are pretty. Why would he think that if he loves me?" and "My husband bought a cookie at the store yesterday, when he knows I know how to make cookies. Is he going to leave me?" Would you want to tell these girls there was something bothering you about a relationship they were in? If their husband said, "Honey, I don't like what you did with your hair," can you imagine what would happen? Now imagine the results of bringing up a problem severe enough to cheat over. He gets afraid to say anything, so he just bottles it all up, then some nice, sweet young girl asks him what's wrong, and it all spills out and she says, "Aww, he's so sensitive..." and twenty minutes later he's laying in a bed with pink Strawberry Shortcake blankets saying, "What in the world did I just do? And how can I get my wife not to notice when I do it again?"

Pick 10 random questions from women on here, and read the question, and then ask yourself, "What would she say if her husband pointed out to her that she had rejected sex for no reason everytime he asked for the last two months, and that she was being unfair to him in doing so?" I bet at least half the time you'd answer, "She'd throw a hissy fit or freak out."

Answer 4

Hi, I'm not certain I have all the answers why but, my one thought would be that they can't control or rechannel their sexual energies with only their wife due to several causes possibly being mental or health problems or the mindset that one woman can't and never will be able to fully satisfy their sexual appetites. There are numerous women in most men's circle of existence and they are probably driven to pursue sexual affairs with women who are open to their advances and more so if they are not sexually satisifed with their wives for whatever reason.
Nonetheless, I believe a man can control these urges if the marriage really is treasured and has significant meaning to him.

Answer 5

I agree with some of the postings here,like men and women cheat, men are pigs, women are pigs. I think when a person cheats they are trying to find something in themselves and they can't find it so they go from one to another. Also I think it is the excitement of doing it and maybe getting caught. As far as I know it could be that they are sex addicts and won't admit it to themselves. Why do we do what we do anyway? We're human? OK... Can't pretend I'm Dr. Phil anymore, Men are Pathetic!

Answer 6

I don't think men & women cheat for the same reason. I think the majority of women that are cheating would tell you that they are not doing it for the sex, they are doing it for the romance or attention that their husband doesn't give them anymore. Which does not make it right.

I think men cheat because it is in their nature to want more sex than they already get. But I don't know I am not a man.

Answer 7

1 some men cant help it
2 some men feel they need more than one women
3 they dont know what good thing they already have
4 not satified with the wife and they dont want to talk to her cuz of fear
5 both some men and women cheat for the same reason
for the fun of it
6 baby girl you need to learn some (because some are not like this) men will never want to be with one women

much luv
ya gurl

Answer 8

I belive that men cheat for different reasons than woman based on the fact that the sexes are wired to think and do things a little differently ...simplily put men cheat mostly for sexual conquest women usually do for emotional reasons.

Answer 9

In my opinion men cheat or anyone for that matter because they do not feel fulfillment in a certain relationship and they think that it is that persons problem so they turn to someone else to fill the void for them, and as most of us know, you can not fill a void caused by yourself with another person. It will only drag them down too.

Answer 10

I do not understand it either. Why commit if you know you are going to cheat? But I have heard from guy friends that usually they want more than the wife is willing to do or they get bored.
