Why do Women Cheat






Its a proven fact that what is good for the goose is good for the gander. Double standards exist in everything in life, none more prevalent than ideologies of relationship responsibilities. A woman is perceived to be the caretake, the lover, the concerned partner while the man gets in where he fits in.

One of the biggest faults in a dysfunctional relationship is infidelity. With that being said, we are here today to fight the idea that women dont cheat. Reality is they do! but better than most guys, if not all. The truth is both genders cheat however- for different reasons; for a woman cheating will generally be a result of emmotional and psychological motives.

The experts say, " Chief among these reasons is loneliness. Women often look to relationships with individuals other than their partners because emotional companionship is lacking in the primary relationship. It may appear to be a contradiction that women who have partners are lonely, but often, this partnership is less than emotionally fulfilling. Women may have affairs if they feel they do not receive the attention they deserve from their partners. If a man is too involved with his work or a hobby, he may have little energy left to pay attention to the woman in his life. Women often feel lonely even in the presence of their partners at times. A man may be physically present, but emotionally absent, and this can lead a woman to look for fulfillment outside the relationship."

I took a more down to earth approach and sought the opinion of a few women who always keep it straight with me. This is what Ive concluded,

Top 10 reasons:

1. sex is bad therefore there is a need for someone else to supplement

2. not receiving enough attention in their current relationship

3. women often outgrow relationships ( I guess thats a product of evolution. they say women evolve quicker)

4. her current partner has a different perspective on future plans. In essence they are in the union for different reasons, and want different things.

5. the theory that what one man wont do the next will (i.e. spend time, money, concern, tell her shes pretty, etc.)

6. retaliation- a woman scorned is the worst thing known to man. A woman whom has ben cheated on will cheat, and can do it very well.

7. Anger plays a part as well. the dissatisfaction that results from everything that is lacking in her relationship perpeuates the infidelity

8. Greed- a womans ambition can be just as strong as her intuition

9. selfishness- just like a man, a woman can be self-centered and only concerned with what pleasures her, and if it happens to be another man then so be it.

10. Plan B- women are great planners. The five P-s proper planning prevents poor performance; A woman will and always does keep a backup plan just in case present circumstances fall sour.

Im sure alot of people will have something to say about this, and I welcome it all.

There are many reasons why a woman would cheat. From my perspec tive unsatisfactory sex is number one. Women also are tired of being the man and the woman in relationships For example,the woman works and the man is unenployed but when she comes home from work the man is either out and about with friends not looking for a job and the house is a wreck. In addition, Some women outgrow a relationship if they started dating young. another reason I can think of is if the couple is not on the same path in regards to their future that can also pose a problem. Lastly, but not least-what one man wont do there is another guy that will.

Women cheat for a reason! Its some form of unhappiness whether its lack of attention, bad sex, or lack of stability. It all boils down to something being missing within the relationship that makes her unhappy and seek elsewhere.

Women cheat for the same reason men cheat... Cause they felt like it... The excuse is just their way of not owning up to the error... An attempt to keep their hands clean and not accept the blame... Instead of working through they make up reasons to justify the action... Some actually have reason... Most don't... At the end of the day its not why women cheat but why people cheat in general...
