9 Inconvenient Truths About Men & Cheating

November 23rd, 2011 - By jaebi

"8 inconvenient truths about men cheating"The emotional and psychological challenges experienced by many men attempting fidelity are underrated in mainstream romance. Instead, the problem is exacerbated by highlighting the inevitable outcome of that challenge: cheating. Cheating has been analyzed through a never ending stream of expert opinions and “why men cheat” books and articles. Overwhelmingly, the barrage of cheat-lit takes the much needed stance of helping women either demonize or empathize in addition to ensuring women that there’s something that can be done to prevent a man from cheating. Not this article. This is not your typical, girly, “why men cheat” list intent on giving you false hope. My take on the subject fully acknowledges that at least 50% of of men being coerced to sleep with one woman, and one woman only, are simply not going to. These next few reasons for male infidelity will make you squirm in your seat, get your eyes rolling, head shaking, and flaming the comments. No fluff. Just cold, hard, inconvenient truths about a man you used to, or will soon love — and why there’s roughly a 1 in 2  chance he cheats.

    ThisShall we talk about women cheating know, maybe we should pretend that doesn’t happen even though studies show women cheating far more than men that are married. Or should we talk about women who intentionally try to temp married men. Or should we talk about all the things that are driving men emotionallyaway from there wives. The only thing I see going on in this forrom is a bunch of women who are angry with and use men as an excuse for relationship failures. I am man who sees women in a whole different light than I used to. Women today are not good wives. Don’t get me wrong. The majority of women are great. They scream, there not supportive and it’s always give me more, more, more. If you want a good husband then lead by example. You can’t expect a man to be a good husband if you don’t act like a good wife. Marriage is a partnership. As far as you women who think you should be treated as a queen grow up. Even a queen treats her man like a king. That is the real problem, you can’t expect your man to act like a man if you don’t Treat him like a man. Take some responsibility for your relationships and quit blaming one person in the relationship for 100 percent of the problems.

    don’t agree with a man having to have “stress relief” sex and the author saying its alright right from time to time.  have you ever heard of diseases? men are not the only ones who cheat. this article (to me) would make a women feel insecure and that she has to work extra hard at watching and keeping her man. if he cheats, see him to the door. if you want to keep him then know what you got and keep him until you find someone better. but you have to be looking and willing to leave him. believe me, it works both ways.

    Men need to realize that women were bored of having sex with them long before the men got bored. Men have 10x the testosterone the women have. Therefore, men want sex 10x more often than women. Women will accomodate that, but 9 times out of ten, would prefer not to sex. Also, 2/3 of women don’t have orgasms.
    Women have sex for different reasons, not only because they actually want or need sex. Many have sex to keep their relationships together or to keep the father in the house for the children.
    It would probably be fun to have a fling outside of the primary relationship, but most women won’t do that because they know the suffering and havoc it would cause to their families.
    I doubt that most men would tolerate their partners having sex with others. A man would not want to provide, knowingly or unknowingly, for a child who was the result of the woman’s extramarital affair.
    The men who cheat are selfish and self-indulgent.

    Why should a man be any more faithful than most women are.  From what I’ve seen just as many women “cheat” in any kind of relationship as men,
