This actually brings us to another popular question which is if infidelity is natural for men, is it possible for them to be faithful? The answer to that question is absolutely because there is a choice and most males are not what the stereotype portrays. In a recent survey done by Gary Neuman he found only 12% of the men surveyed will cheat no matter what. In reality there are much more monogamous males out there than promiscuous ones. Therefore you should never stereotype them or you might miss out on someone who is really right for you.
Below is a list of the main reasons why men cheat:
- New feeling and new sex: Men are generally more prone to physical affairs or infidelity. Men like the feeling of new sex (looks many times does not matter) because it gives them a high. They tend to want to experiment more to get this new feeling. This also gives them the feeling they still have “it” although they are in a relationship.
- Relationship issues: Lack of communication and issues in the relationship will make a guy feel he is losing in this aspect of their life. Partners that tend to nag, complain and put down their husbands or boyfriends are literally pushing their male lover away from them. Remember, a man like to feel he is winning at home and if he doesn’t it frustrates and alienates him. It does not mean conflict-ridden relations will cause a guy to cheat. However it will increase the risk.
- There was an opportunity: If a male has an opportunity he is likely to take it especially if thinks he will not be caught. Sometimes the only way to know if he is a faithful partner is when he is actually tested.
- Fear of intimacy: Many men fear intimacy because they fear losing power in the relationship. This type of cheater will mess around to avoid being emotionally involved or attached with their lover or spouse. In that way they would never have to trust or rely on their other half totally. It is like a guard mechanism preparing them for the worst. This refers usually to men who have experienced infidelity with persons they were in relationships with before or see it occurring around them. It is like I get you before you get me type of mentality.
- Thrill and Excitement: There are no words to explain the feelings of a man when he is on the hunt for a sexual encounter. The only thing more fulfilling is success after the efforts he put into it. Sex to him is just a show of the fruits of his labour and really feeds his ego and winning attitude. If there is a chance of being caught and there is a big risk the more rewarded he feels when he succeeds in the challenge.
- Lack of Sex: This is another popular answer to the question “why do men cheat?”. Everyone knows that men love sex. If the sex is boring; or there is lack of it or worst no sex your guy will likely cheat on you.
- Revenge: If you were unfaithful to your spouse or he thinks you are cheating on him. The thought of his lover or spouse being with someone else is too overwhelming for him. As a result he would cheat with someone for pure revenge to feel on top of the situation.
