Help In Dating Men - Why Men Cheat And What You Can Do About It

More than just a short ten years ago it seems that everyone is cheating on everyone else. You would be hard-pressed to find a woman who has never been cheated on in her life. The only women I know that haven't been cheated on are nuns, and they have a special reason why. So why do men cheat? Maybe if you knew the answer to that question you could help your man, or at least understand him a little better. Well I am a man so I am a good person to ask about this. Here are some of the reasons men cheat.

Men cheat because it is an ego boost for them. Women are bombarded every single day with offers. Guys, well you know we have to work at it a little bit. I heard comedian Chris Rock once say "men are about as faithful as his options are." That means if your man is Kobe Bryant he is a lot more likely to cheat on you than if your guy is a fat loser. You can combat this ridiculous notion by working to constantly build your guy up and make him feel like a king.

Genetics plays a big part in why men cheat. This is a common idea presented to the lady when the guy gets caught. "Well baby its in my DNA I cannot help it." I believe this is a total cop-out and should not be accepted at all. It is also in your DNA to do a lot of other socially unacceptable things and you don't do them. If your man gives you this excuse do not accept it.

Men cheat for the adventure of it. Infidelity can be an exciting rush to an otherwise mundane life. In this case the affair is more about the conquest than the prize. They enjoy the sneaking around and the chance of being caught. Often this is coupled by seeing their friends who are cheating. At this point their cheating becomes a competition. To combat this, keep your relationship exciting. Be spontaneous and live life a little more dangerously so that your man doesn't see you as boring. As for the competition aspect of this. If you feel your man's friends are cheating you should talk to him about it. Ask him how he feels about what they are doing. Don't go and talk to their wives or girlfriends. Truly this is about your man not anyone else.

Men cheat for a variety of reasons. These are just a few and there is a lot more to each of these. If you fear you are being cheated on, or you have been cheated on, these are not excuses. These are simply reasons why men hurt the one they love the most. Ultimately you have to decide what you are going to do about their infidelity.
