Why a Man is Most Likely to Cheat

It’s time to explore the murky, often illogical, stomach-churning and, by turns, enlightening world of male infidelity. Better still, it’s best understood when broken down into why and where men cheat.

Where do men cheat?

The further a man is from home, the more likely he is to cheat. This is particularly true should he find himself somewhere that needed a passport o get into, surrounded by his mates and with enough vodka in his bloodstream to knock him out.

Closer to home, the office is a veritable hotspot of illicit pleasure to a man prone to cheating. When you’re cooped up with members of the opposite sex for more than 40 hours a week, sparks can fly. And if things at home or with one’s current partner have lost some of their luster, the intensified confines of cubicle lust sometimes tip the weak-willed over the edge.

Why do men cheat?

The first factor is perhaps the most disheartening. The sad reality is that given the opportunity for some no-strings-attached sex that his partner will never find out, there are certain men who will gladly put their conscience on pause and go astray. To them, it’s ‘just’ a physical thing, it’s ‘just’ one time or he ‘just’ needed to release and she ‘just’ wanted to give it to me.

Then there’s the cruel question of motivation. Men can justify cheating through a range of hideous rationales. One of the most common is not being sexually satisfied. After a while, he can convince his conscience that his needs are being neglected and that his partner could have done a lot more to prevent this situation.

The other reasons men stray are only less nauseating. For a start, men who are cheated on often attempt to take tit-for-tat revenge and frequently succeed, only to add more hurt and recrimination to an already volatile situation. Men also stray when they feel that they’ve dropped from their partner’s priority list, for example, behind her career or social life, and view their actions as a “cry for attention”.

Men tends to justify their infidelity by the pathetic idea that their actions were somehow instigated by a partner who should have known better, cared more or serviced with greater variety and vigor. With this as motivation, it’s no surprise that it can take the scantest of opportunities for the crime to take place.

In summary, many a faithful man has walked out on a relationship because his partner believed that it’s in the male nature to cheat and therefore either watched him like a hawk or made assumptions without any evidence to prove it. Hence, it is foolhardy to tar all males with the brush of suspicion unless you are very sure of it.
