What is the reason why Men are habitually prone to CHEAT and be unfaithful in relationships?

Question

Is it that women are more moral?

Do they set and adhere to higher standards through His/Herstory than men are capable of?

Answer 1

I think so, all I know is, I have known men and women who cheated, but it is the men far and away who cheat the most.

Answer 2

Women cheat as often as men - you just don't hear about it because they are less-likely to go braggin' to their buddies. (That's an opinion there, but I know as many cheating women as I do men.)  The reason for less talk could be guilt OR the need to keep a secret; either way I think women are better at hiding things than men.

Answer 3

It is in mens genes to act like this.

Sice time began, men have always been the hunter and propogater of children. It was necessary in stoneage times ensure the tribe did not die out.

This is inborn into some mens genes more strongly than others.

Answer 4

I acctually know more females who have been unfaithful.

I dont think its just men...I think it all depends on the acctual person person not their gender.

Some people are more moral than some people... where as some people just...arent.

Answer 5

Women aren't, of course because if a man cheats, he usually cheats with another woman who knows he is married.

Answer 6

Well women cheat too but men just cheat more.

I think it is that they think since they are men they can do that which is true and for the cheating women also. I don't think either gender is more moral. But in my opinion it is women that are more into the right thing to do. We consider our partners feelings more.

But I have a man that is just like this and he is everything I would ever want he is perfect example to not all men cheat =] (I think he is waiting for the perfect time to ask to marry me. hint hint)

Answer 7

Obviously you cannot generalise. But a lot of men are just little boys inside a mans body. And I think when things dont go the way they want .they look for someone else ,who will give them what they want. Plus ..a lot of men have a totally different ideas about  what cheating is( eg..it didnt mean anything!)

Answer 8

women are just better at it!

Answer 9

For every cheating man there's an adulterous woman who allows him to do it.  The reasons so many men cheat:

1. air and oppurtunity

2.  wives and girlfriends allow it

3.  s****s out there stealing a woman's man

4.  It's viewed as normal.

The difference is that men are called cheats while women are called mistresses.  Both parties are equally trifling though.

Answer 10

Please, let's just stop making excuses for bad behavior and stop trying to justify it.

Men are capable of being faithful when they are motivated to do so.  If they are cheating it is because they have not made a commitment in their hearts.  

Society is a HUGE enabler of this behavior, therefore many men are simply not motovated to be faithful, because they know they can get away with cheating and still be accepted in society.

Women who cheat are more likely to be ostracized.

Women in general are no more or less moral than men.

Answer 11

It's because the average American woman is unbearable to tolerate and live with. They insist that they are independent women and are equal to men, yet they still believe that equality means that they are forever entitled to special treatment. Men are not here to pay for your drinks, buy you dinner, take you to movies, or to pay your rent and utilities. If you want to be on a level playing field, then compromise.

Men have trouble tolerating women because women don't know what they want, but they think the world owes them a living.

Answer 12

So it's just "Men are habitually prone to CHEAT and be unfaithful"?

Is that really so?

I know women who are just the same!

Answer 13

Because there is a hugh different between the "little man" and the "little woman", therefore in general, men do cheat more in flash, women cheat more in heart. :)

Answer 14

Women more moral than men? I don't think any human, man or woman, has ever truly been moral.

Women also cheat, just as much as men, but I think some men (not all, some) are more likely to brag about it and get caught unlike a cheating woman who might do everything possible to keep it a secret.

Answer 15

Women cheat just as much as men do.  The flaws that drive a person to cheat are individual flaws, and can not be pegged on gender in general.

Answer 16

i am a loyal man and i know i can never cheat my mate.. as far as i know womens cheat more and men are more emotional ..men care for thier girls emotions while its women who dump guys for silly reason for oother men

Answer 17

It is probably a survival instinct.  Look up "alpha male."

Answer 18

Men tend to be more shortsighted. They think about immediate gratification rather than long term consequences.

Answer 19

Men and women cheat at nearly the same rate.

There are primal instincts in men to cheat, which lead to an evolutionary advantage-spreading the seed. Recent studies show that women have similar instincts to cheat-cuckoldry, getting the best provider/father/low testosterone man as a long term partner and getting the best DNA from a high testosterone partner. It has been documented that women are attracted to men with (relatively) less testosterone every day of the month except for the days in which they are ovulating (likely to be pregnant). Now to say everyone cheats simply due to these instincts exclusively is erroneous. To say that we are all controlled by instincts is just as inaccurate. The only thing these studies show is the evolutionary advantage to certain behaviors, which as human beings we can exercise control over by using higher reasoning.

Answer 20

Because men like s*x. And if their ladyfriend is not giving them the s*x he wants, he will find some tramp to give it to him.

Answer 21

They arent.  Your question is grounded on a load of tosh.

Women are more likely to cheat nowadays.  Its much easier for them, they think they are smarter and can get away with it, and its been glorified by womens magazines and a generation of feminists saying its ok to put it around for gain so long as the evil male gets screwed over in the end.

They still expect monogamy from their men folk though.  Odd that...

Answer 22

wellll, lets make this simple, men are much more sexually oriented in a simple way then women are they do not feel the need to be engaged, or in a long term relationship to feel atracted to a point that they will cheat on someone else.

its not our fault, i guess wee sometimes just dont have the will power

Answer 23

The reasons men cheat may be the same reason that women cheat.

Answer 24

I'm sure just as many women out there cheat also. Some argue that the human is not meant to have monogamous relationships. I think that's c**p. Society, as a whole, has gone downhill and has failed to stick to morals and values. People no longer value and respect each other or themselves.

Answer 25

scientifically, it has to do with the level of testosterone. animals with huge testicles get it on as much as they can. animals with small testicles stay with one partner their entire life.

human men are right there in the middle. at that point, it depends on their personal level of control.

Answer 26

This is absurd. Men and women both cheat, but women are far more subtle. There have been countless reports on this. Women are typically more ashamed of it, and likely won't admit to it.

No gender is more "moral" (depends on what morals you're going by).

There have also been reports that many women have babies with men they're not married to (but remain married to another man, passing the child off as her husband's). This has led to movements to test paternity of all babies born and men being sued for child support after a divorce for a baby that was never his.

Answer 27

No, it's all to do with culture. In the culturfe I am and the people I mix with the men and women don't cheat because it's considered immoral and terrible.

Answer 28

Males want to spread their genes as far as they can. It is in our nature to want variety in relationships. But we are not all animal that is where the human side comes in and we are compassionate and want a relationship. Not every guy cheats.

Answer 29

Shell: f***y rats! That's hilarious. I gave you a thumbs up just for that.

Answer 30

apparently men have it in their genes ... or coded in their brain...whatever you want to call it ... that they have to "plant their seed" into as many females as possible...

... you know to keep procreation ticking...lol...

...that is science...

...in real life...I do not think that men cheat more...

...cheating is nothing to do with what s*x you are but what kind and how much s*x you like ...

...i mean if you love "forbidden fruit" ...lol... cheating is the only way to get it ... so ... go get it!!!

...very interesting question...as usual...lol...

Answer 31

I don't think women are more moral. Some men just can't exhibit self control.
