Men’s tendency to cheat is one of the most common and the most painful and common issues that women have with men. While some women can recount numerous relationships during which they found out that their partner was cheating on them, others are afraid that their current lover will betray their trust and have an affair at one point or another.
It is unrealistic to believe that there is a way to fully protect and "insure" yourself from being cheated on, but I strongly believe that understanding the reasons behind the sexual behavior of a typical, modern man in a western society is important for at least two reasons: (1) it will decrease the probability that you will be cheated on by the guy you are dating; and (2) it will help you handle yourself and the situation much better if your current or future partner does end up having an affair.
Here are the top three reasons why men cheat:
1. The first and by far the most common reason why men cheat has nothing to do with the woman that they are cheating on. Most men are driven by this powerful natural force to seek novelty and variety when it comes to sexual partners. There is more to that drive than just seeking pleasure; desire to be liked and attract women is one of the most significant ways through which men are able to validate their masculinity and sense of self worth. This has always been, is, and will always be at the core of male nature among humans and many other living beings. For some men this stage of life is short, and by late 20’s or early 30’s they "snap" out of it, while other men continue to “play” for much longer or even for the rest of their active lives. Thus, no matter how wonderful their girlfriend or wife is going to be, they will not stop pursuing new interactions with women and new sexual experiences. Nothing will replace the excitement of, and the satisfaction from, having new experiences with new female partners, and it would be pointless to try to change such a guy. After all, it is not in a woman's power to change a man's nature.
2. The second reason is painfully simple but surprisingly common - many women are simply not good enough in bed to keep their partner sexually happy, excited and satisfied. They don’t know what they are doing with their bodies, hands and mouth. Few men will stick around and appreciate a woman who is a mediocre sex partner. I have seen many guys dump very beautiful women for that exact reason. Those women’s beauty was “neutralized” by their incompetence or their behavior during intimacy that chilled romance. A woman who ruins a special moment by saying something inappropriate or irrelevant or simply giggling during or right before sex will rarely get a second chance. Very few men will be blunt and open enough to criticize a woman’s performance in bed. Thus, it’s your duty to explore your sexuality, to be curious about men and gain that knowledge and skills which will make you a great lover.
3. Finally, some women unfortunately have nothing else to give but their beauty and sex. Some men will lie about how much they like that woman in order to get sex from her, while others will be sincerely blinded by attraction and will truly believe that they want to get to know that woman even though all they are attracted to is her body. However, shortly after getting sex from that woman, these men will realize that there is nothing else that they want from her and they will be eager to get away from her as soon as possible.
Have you ever been cheated on before? If so, look back at the three big reasons why men cheat and try to figure out what reasons drove that guy toward being with another woman. While it's possible that you are just not meant to be together and whatever happened between the two of you is the neither your fault nor his, it's possible that one of the above three reasons for cheating applies to your dating situation.
