If there is anyone out there who knows the answer to this question, I would really like to know. If a man has a woman, who is faithful, and would have sex with him whenever he likes, why would that man cheat?

Because they are thinking with their small head

Why do women cheat?

Yeah, works both ways. So the ? should be why does anyone cheat?

Because "dogs" do what "dogs" do, whether they are the four legged kind or the two legged.

Find yourself a man and put the dog outside.

Best of luck

usually boils down to two things, because they want to, and they can..

roco

I agree with PATSFAN Why do women cheat, and they only have one head th think with.

If you can answer the question as to why women cheat, then you could solve all of the world's problems

There are SO many variables to each unique situation, there is no 'set' answer.

my answer... cause he's a sex addict?
my question is... why would women?

and.... is there a gender factor in it really? for both do the same!
my suggestion... why do people cheat?

Obviously not all men cheat. Maybe get a 'nice guy'. I hear they tend to stay at home.

I do not know.I was cheated on too.

one of two reasons: either he is just that way an will always be that way , or the other, he doesnt believe that you love him or dont do that yourself

And finish last

fear of commitment?..... not sure, I'm not a cheat but those are the reasons I can think of... rather valid or not?

low self esteem?

Maybe they have a dead fish at home?

Could it be a sense of a man needing to feel better about how he sees himself? Cheating, perhaps, gives the feeling of "wanted" by someone who does not know much about him... A fake life to control how another person sees him... I dont think its for the sex, but more...

Women do the same thing but it breaks down to these reasons:

Genetically men are programed to sniff up as many willing backsides as we can find like any dog. Some men can resist the urge but given the right set of circumstances and the right person and any man or woman can cheat.

Now we are taught to believe in older more "traditional" ways but we are very confused by a lot of religious and Victorian ethics. The reality of it is that people are not monogamous for the most part whether they want to believe it or not. It is genetic. It is Mother Nature's way of insuring a healthy gene pool and also to insure survival of the species. That is the most fundamental reason why.

As far as what "drives" men to cheat?
Stressful and fulfilling relationships. Marrying because of a surprise pregnancy is one factor that add to this in a statistical way. The number of marriages that fail where the couple married under the pressure of a impending pregnancy was about 38% on the low end to almost 72% on the statistical scale depending on who's information you choose to believe. I feel it is around a little more than half myself of all failed marriages have this in common with them.
Women let themselves go physically. I have seen a lot of friends get married and their hot GF's suddenly expand to being obese in a few and I mean few short years. Worst is when it is blamed on pregnancy. More and more men are not buying that and it is an excuse to some extent.

There are cultural motivations as well. Successful men are perceived as being "good" with the ladies and there fore maintain a number of involvements. Look at movies and TV. Ladies, If you are looking for a king or a prince well better watch Braveheart. There is a little thing called "Lords First Right of Privilege." It comes up in the movie. Basically put, if you were a virgin and you got married the king actually had the right to take your virginity on your wedding night instead of your husband. Think that sucks? It gets better...
Nobility of a lot of nations save a hand full there is a queen to which the king is married but he has consorts and the number depends on the man's appetites.
On top of that look at the examples Hollywood sets for our kids. They treat marriage as a joke.

Now we get into what a lot of men claim as reasons,
Sex with his partner becomes unsatisfying or worst yet the partner is frigid or just 'dead in bed.'
Men also do not like to get hen pecked a lot. Women who wear on men's self esteem chase their men off eventually.
Also the way women carry themselves among friends has been used as a justification. Being too friendly among men a women knows can trigger jealous behavior and that can lead to revenge behavior.
Also men will wander if a relationship goes cold.

These are just the more core reasons. I could go on a lot more in detail but is it necessary?

Basically a relationship is like a car.

It needs maintenance!
