Nakéd Truth Why Mén Chéat on Women

Laura, 34, who had been through a terrible divorce a while back and Holly, 28, who broke up with her fiancé because she found him in bed with his secretary, get up close and personal with us to share their thoughts and experiences to explain why men cheat. We were the ones asking questions while they were replying. 

Do men cheat because of sex?

“Séx is probably the major cause for all men to cheat”, said Laura. Holly was quick to point out, “It is not always the case that men don’t get great séx at home. I know it sounds harsh, but men sometimes find it hard to stay faithful”. Friends, better double check on this one in your own life.

Do men cheat because of lack of respect?

“Jonathan, my best friend’s partner cheated on her for 6 months before she found out. He said she did not give him respect which made him go astray”, said Holly. “This was probably the only genuine reason a man could give to the question, why do men cheat. Genuine, but not good enough”, said Laura. “He could always have talked it out. I’m not sure if lack of respect is the justification for cheating”, she added.

Do men cheat because of monotony?

“Mike always told me that his life was getting monotonous day by day. He would come home from work and complain that every day was the same. I feel that this frustration drove him to cheat”, said Laura. We could see the anger on Laura’s face and could sure understand what she meant when she said, “Life is tough and can sometimes get monotonous. That does answer the question ‘why do mean cheat’, does it?”, she asked.

Do men cheat because of long distance relationships?

We were hoping Holly would answer this question and tell us what it has got to do with long distance relationships, because she was in one herself. She did not disappoint us and gave us some great insight. “My ex and I were living in different cities for about 2 years. I got suspicious when he started avoiding my calls and started using frequent excuses and reasons to avoid my calls. I decided to travel to Atlanta where he was based. I crashed into his apartment only to find him with his secretary”, said Holly. “My case is a typical answer to our question. I think that the distance caused my ex to cheat”, she said, disappointed.

Do men cheat because they are inherently unfaithful?

“Absolutely not”, said Holly. We all bump into charming men who may flirt a bit with women but stay in their limits. Men who can stay committed in the most vulnerable of situations are hard to find, but they do exist”, she added. This brings us to the conclusion that men aren’t inherently unfaithful and hence, it can’t be the answer to our question.

Do men cheat because of chauvinism?

“I think that the idea of chauvinism and male dominance has got a lot to do with unwrapping the answers to our question”, pondered Laura. Holly agreed and said, “Male chauvinism can sometimes make a man think that that he can get away with everything, including cheating on his partner. No wonder we see many male political leaders, corporate biggies and big celebrity names caught up in cheating scandals”.
