Cheating is common among both men and women. The percentage of men is higher than that of women, but there is an increase among women. What causes this? The sex? The thrill of an affair? Why does a man cheat? And does this correspond to the woman’s reasons?
Sex and emotions
A lot of reasons for men to start an affair are related to sex. In women, the emotional nature is usually the reason for cheating. Most men and women at least indicate this as a reason. There are of course also exceptions.
Why is the man cheating?
The man usually cheats for sex-related reasons. This is different from women, where the emotional bond plays a leading role. Research has shown that the reasons below are most common in men.
The reasons are mainly:
- He feels entitled to it
- The tension and excitement
- The feeling of being important to someone else
- The feeling of being loved by someone else
- More sex
- different ways of sex
- He had the opportunity
- He and his partner have grown apart
- He no longer loves his partner
- It strokes his ego
- See if he can get away with it
- His partner had also allowed it in the past
- He cheats out of revenge
Why is the woman cheating?
There are different motives for women to cheat. As indicated earlier, this is usually from an emotional train of thought. For women, sex is usually not the reason for the affair. Research has shown that a woman simply wants to be understood and the right kind of attention.
The reasons for a woman are mainly:
- The feeling that she is special
- Out of boredom
- Out of loneliness
- To experience the feeling of romance again
- More sex
- From a cry for attention
- To be more intimate and connected to someone
- She cheats out of revenge
- Out of jealousy
How can you tell that your partner is cheating?
Often the partners do not realize it for a long time, but then suddenly the other person starts behaving strangely and is absent, for example. Many partners bury their heads in the sand and tell themselves that there is nothing there (but actually know better).
Some recognizable features of people who cheat are:
- He/she acts stuffy
- He/she is often absent with thoughts
- He/she behaves differently than normal
- You find someone else’s hair
- He/she smells different
- You find items in the house that don’t belong to him/her
- He/she has more or less sexual interest in the other person
If you’re going to cheat, do it right!
Cheating is of course never fun for the other person, but discovering it is often even less fun! Finally, here are some tips to keep your affair (better) invisible:
- Don’t tell your partner
- Make sure you are at least 50 kilometers away from home, so not in your own hometown!
- Make sure you do it safely, venereal diseases are difficult to explain if your partner has nothing
- Deny everything!!
- Just keep your daily lifestyle
- Don’t have an affair within your circle of friends or with colleagues
