What Makes A Woman Cheat? ....Ladies Respond only Please.?

Question

I'm assuming its far different than what makes a man cheat on his girlfriend. I'm familiar with all those reasons, but now I'm curious about the opposite sex's reasons for infidelity.

I write a blog dedicated to this topic, Cheating on Your Girlfriend. If you are curious on why men cheat or how they do it, read up:

I HAVE READ A RANDOM 5 ANSWERS AND IT SEEMS THAT WOMEN PUT THE BLAME ON THE MAN WHEN IT COMES TO THE REASON THEY CHEATED...

Answer 1

I can only speak for myself, not all women.

I have done it in the past because I was bored, sexually frustrated, feeling unappreciated, or just because I wanted to have sex with someone else.

Answer 2

Well, I'm sure, there are many, but here are a few....Most women are aroused by the THINGS her man does and if he is not meeting those expectations, then she may look elsewhere for that need to be meet. I'm not even talking about sexual needs here. But these things can and do sexual turn women on. For example, there are a couple of ways, the way a man is in public and private. The man is on the phone discussing business and he wins the account which will mean a promotion and ....you get the picture. "Success" of a man may be a real turn on for some women. If he is not successful in her eyes....she may go out looking elsewhere. That's just one example. Maybe the guy does all the house work on his day off and the lady comes home without anything to do...I'm sure she wont be tired now. In the sexual realm....bring her to a climax over and over and she will never leave. Keep her needs in the forfront, his needs should ALWAYS be last. Women can perform even after they have climaxed....men CAN'T always. If a woman is not satisfied in bed, she too could wonder off looking for greener pastures. Good luck on the blog.

Answer 3

Since I am internally debating this question, I thought I'd add my 2 cents. I have a good boyfriend. Sometimes I love him more than I ever thought I could love anyone, and sometimes (especially lately) he makes me want to take a break. He's not a bad person, he is just difficult (as I can be too) and refuses to discuss our relationship. Last year, I met a man in a professional setting that I come into contact with once a month. We went out for drinks once, and there was this intense connection, but nothing happened- because he is also married. Since then, every time I see him, he's like a drug. We haven't had an opportunity to take it further (thankfully), but resisting is getting more difficult. In the beginning, when I would have these thoughts of straying, I would realize how wonderful my boyfriend is and thank heaven that I didn't give into temptation.

Now...it's more difficult. It's not like I'm going to get anything out of this, nor do I want to start a new relationship.

What it comes down to is I am not happy in my current relationship, I don't know what to do about it, and this other man makes me feel special (which my boyfriend hasn't done since the beginning). I don't want to go down that cheating road yet, because I don't want anyone to get hurt, but the more my boyfriend frustrates me, the more I can justify it to myself. Twisted, I know.

Answer 4

I am a women so maybe I can explain some of the reasons I feel women cheat. Sometimes women cheat because they need attention from another man to make themselves feel more attractive. Possible because they have a low self esteem or need reassurance. They cheat out of revenge or like a pay back for something as simple as a argument. They cheat because there is maybe something missing out of the relationship emotionally. They cheat possibly because they are scared their mate is cheating and want to feel better about it. Last but not least it could be that they are just easy and trashy. I personally have cheated and I can honestly say I wont never do it again. Sex is sex to me and the guilt ate me alive until I found myself crying night after night at the heartache I caused my mate.

Answer 5

Women cheat for several reasons: 1. Inattentive and abusive partner. 2. Not getting it at home. 3. Partner has let themselves go. 4. someone comes along that treats her like a lady by being attentive, respectful, romantic and unselfish. That makes her feel like she 's number one in their life and are giving back what she's giving. 5. Some are just out for sex. We do like it, too. so for the men out there, if you want to keep your lady from cheating ;
1. Be attentive but don't smother her
2. Don't accuse her unless you have proof.
3. Don't nick pick about the small stuff
4. Keep yourself up.
5. Do nice things her.
6. Do the unexpected.
7.Ask bout her day.
8. Be interested in things going on in her life.
9. Don't flirt with other women in her face
10. Never disrespect or abuse or name calling.
11. Go on romantic outing
12. Massage her body without expecting sex.
13. Let her know she turns you on throughout the day.
14. Ask her how she likes it and don't be selfish.

Answer 6

Not speaking from experience, just a lot of tv shows and books on the subject as I am extremely happy with my husband...
1. the man cheated on them, so it is "payback" of the sickest kind, whether he finds out or not, they feel vindicated.
2. low self-esteem, as their husband seems to care more about sports or drinking or the computer than them - so they need an attention fix, it is like a drug addict suddenly realizing they are out of coke and they have to get that high (in this case, attention) so they find it elsewhere. In other words, insecurity.
3. they assume the man will some day cheat on them, or already has, so if he can, she can... whether or not he has actually cheated. They don't trust any men on the planet, so might as well get the jump on them hurting her and hurt him first.
The whole idea of cheating is sick to me, I just don't get it why people get married in the first place if they can't keep their vows. Once someone has cheated it is impossible for the trust factor to remain a part of the relationship.

Answer 7

women, mature in a relationship may cheet to fill a void in the attention she used to get,or maybe to regain some feeling a security that was lost in the relationship. It takes more emotional envestmant for a woman to cheet,We feel more af an attachment to people we are getting involved with and unless we are good at supressing this wich God has blessed us with,would rather,wonder aimlessly in the relationship hopping our guy will come around. But wait too long...And temptation presses heavy on the needy,Then we become twitterpated,and have a very hard time remembering why we were waiting around so long ,and why should we when you truly show no intrest inus anyway,besides, maybe a man is right in hes way of thinking...and we start thinking like you..""..Everybody needs a little strange...''

Answer 8

I think women cheat when the emotional connection is gone. Honestly, even if the sex starts to go, it's the emotions and communication that we really need. At least for me, I need to feel that both people are working together, the man needs to put as much into the relationship as I do. If we don't feel satisfied in these ways, cheating might be the next step to find that closeness.

Answer 9

I would assume that since we are all human the reasons for a woman cheating would be the same as a man. Only I think the difference is that a man would be more aggressive about cheating than a woman.

Answer 10

I think women cheat because we get bored. The only problem is is that when we cheat it usually backfires on us if we try to stay in the same relationship. We don't mean to be so insensitive but sometimes we are just searching for a little something more.

Answer 11

I Don't think the reasons should differ between man or woman. The reason people cheat is because they are insecure and selfish. It's just in their character. If they they had any self respect or morals, they would break up with the person they were with and then go have their fling...but their greed and ego lead them to believe they can have their cake and eat it too!
