whi do men cheat?

Answer 1

Evolution....

Men produce millions of sperm a day, where as women only produce one egg a month, so men behave like sperm and women behave like eggs. This doesn't mean women don't because they do too, though they do it to select the best genes, but that wasn't your question...

Hundreds of millions of years ago, with lack of food, all kinds of predators, disease, etc. it was important to the survival of our species to breed a lot of kids with different women, to ensure that our genetic mix gave our kids the greatest chance of survival, by being immune or less succeptible to certain diseases, amongst other things.

It is in our genes to sleep around a lot and even though our logical thinking brain may tell us that we shouldn't, our reptilian brain is where our genetic programming makes us do things that we know on a logical level aren't right. Our reptilian brain takes over our emotions long enough to make us cheat, we rationalize it without conscious control, because it is in our genes to make sure our species survives.

Our conscious and subconscious mind/s are not as strong as our DNA.

There is so much more to tell, but that is the jist of it.

It doesn't make it right, but don't take it personally, it is natures course and not all of us cheat.

Answer 2

Because women let them. Men cheat because they can. And usually the girl will take them back anyway. Even if she doesn't, there will be plenty of other women willing to date him. Women always control the tone and general dating procedures. If every woman decided not to date cheaters, unemployed men, abusers, or any man who refused to put her up on a pedestal in general--society would evolve and men would fall in line and meet our expectations. Why? Because we won't sleep with them if they don't. Period.

Answer 3

Kinda wordy but here's what I found...
•To Fulfill His Biology: You know the old anthropological tale. A man's main job, besides killing the saber-tooth, is to spread his seed in order to ensure the survival of his genetic legacy. It's a man's biology to want to wander. Does that mean he should, or that he can't help it? Of course not. But it does mean that a man is going to have strong-extremely strong-biological urges to knock on the doors of neighboring huts. I have had this argument/discussion/conversation with dozens of men and women: Are men predestined to cheat? My answer is no, they're not-despite their biology. But often times, they do have to fight it. Especially after a pitcher and two shots of Jack.
•To Get the Attention: News flash: Sure, some guys cheat because, well, maybe the sexual frequency has slowed a bit, and maybe hot-and-heavy happens at home about as often as Rob Schneider gets nominated for an Oscar. But the truth is that plenty of men who are having regular sex with their partner are also having sex with someone else. Why? Because cheating isn't just about the sex. Just as a woman who cheats may be seeking more affection than what she's getting at home, a man often cheats because he's seeking the attention that he no longer gets at home. Part of the allure of the mysterious woman isn't just to find out what she looks like naked; it's that the woman showers the man with flirtations, with seduction, with advances that make him feel like he's worthy of more than just fixing dents in the drywall.
•To Get Out: I know lots of guys who simply don't have the strength to end it. They may try ("I'm just not happy"), or they may take other tactics to drive a woman away. A lot of guys simply have trouble breaking off relationships because they don't want to be perceived as that bad guy, the jerk, the insensitive lout who ended something good. So they tiptoe around the issue in hopes that she'll get so frustrated that she'll back out first. Well, if that doesn't work, then a man knows that the only way out is to commit the relationship sin that drives a woman away for good. It's not right, but it's what happens.
•To Change Up His Play List: Think about what's on your iPod. You have your favorite songs you play over and over, but every once in a while, you're in the mood to hear something you haven't played in a long time. You don't need to hear it but once every month or so, but still, you appreciate the changeup. Relationships need to be like good iPods lists. You're comfortable with your routine and you like your routine, but it's always nice to change things up. What men really want in relationships (and what I suspect women also want) is to be able to take comfort in the routine of a long-term commitment, as long as there are some surprises that make it feel like a new relationship every once in a while. In order to keep the relationship strong, you've got to change the songs every once in a while. That goes for in the bedroom and out.
