You see a great guy in a perfect relationship with a girl most guys would kill to be with, and then you find out that he’s cheated on her. Why? You can’t imagine why anyone would cheat on a girl like that. As it turns out there are a lot of reasons why men seek out relationships outside of the one they’re in now, and most of them are far less complex than we might imagine. Below you’ll find some of the most common reasons men report that they cheat on their wives or girlfriends, and you can decide for yourself if they’re reasonable or not.

1) – Someone Approached Them

Believe it or not, for some men all it takes is a proposition to pursue a sexual relationship with someone else. A pretty girl approached them, flirted a little, and flirting lead to a little bit more. A proposition was made and the man’s ego and hormones took over from there. In many cases men report that it’s because they weren’t feeling appreciated enough in their relationships that they gave into temptation. The girl who approached them made them feel more loved than their girlfriends or wives had in years, giving them the love and attention they so desperately craved and felt like they couldn’t get at home.

2) – She Didn’t Want to Experiment

Sometimes men just get an itch. They’ve always wanted to try this one particular thing, or they saw a maneuver on a porno that they’re dying to try out in person. They approach their partner, ask if they’re into it, and are promptly turned down. Like a good husband or boyfriend they don’t push the matter, they respect the boundaries of their spouse and agree to let it go. But they still want to do it. And if their lady friend isn’t willing to give it a go, they’ll just find someone who is. There are plenty of websites dedicated to exactly this, in fact. You can list your favorite kinks, even mention that you’re married and have never performed any of these before, and find people in your area that are interested in participating with you.

3) – They Were Accused of Cheating

It’s true: some women are paranoid. They’ll constantly assume that their partner is cheating on them whether there’s any evidence of it or not. This alone can drive some men to cheat because they figure that if they’re going to get all the grief of cheating, they might as well get some of the fun out of it too. The next time they’re accused of cheating it’ll actually be true, but at least now they’ll have gotten laid instead of being yelled at for no good reason.

4) – They Aren’t Attracted to Them Anymore

As the years pass we change, and unfortunately not always for the better. Some men confess that the reason they cheated on their wife or girlfriend is because as times changed they just weren’t physically attracted their wives anymore, no matter how much they might’ve loved them. The love kept them from wanting to end the relationship entirely, but they had sexual needs they needed to have met and their partners just weren’t doing it for them anymore. Their sexual needs were worth the risk.

5) – It Doesn’t Count

This is an actual excuse used by some men. They claim that so long as their partner never finds out, it doesn’t really count as cheating. What she doesn’t know can’t hurt her, after all. If they can keep the whole thing under wraps, break it off before she finds out, it’s like it never happened. Some men report to doing this while their wives are pregnant since they find them unattractive as their body goes through the changes necessary for pregnancy. They’ll sleep with other women while their wives are at home pregnant, and once the baby is born they’ll go back to being faithful again.

6) – Confirmation of their Sexuality

Unfortunately due to sexism, men often feel like they have to prove that they’re hyper masculine to qualify as a real man. Men can’t wear pink, men can’t enjoy romantic comedies, men can’t like flowers. If they feel like any of these “man rules” have been violated, they may feel like they have to do something extra manly to compensate. And what’s more manly than being able to brag to your friends that you’re banging a bunch of chicks at once? Similarly, some gay men who are in denial of their sexuality will cheat on their wives or girlfriends as a kind of overcompensation. If they’re afraid of being outed, or even afraid of admitting the fact that they’re interested in men, they figure that sleeping around is sure to squash that rumor. Sadly, for some men being seen as a cheater is preferable to being seen as gay.
