Why do people cheat on their partners?

    I suppose this is a silly question but for the life of me I just can't understand why men cheat on their gf! A male friend of mine confided in me that he recently slept with someone else on a night out, a one night stand! He says he loves his girl, whom I also know! But how the hell can he love his girl and cheat, needless to say I had a few things to say to him but jeeze if your not happy get out! I just don't understand it, if your happy you don't stray, drunk or not. Blaming the demon drink is a poor excuse.

    Maybe someone on here has a few things to say regarding the matter!

    Many of the same reasons women cheat more than likely.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,811 ✭✭✭Corvo


    No point in asking us. Ask the penis. He's the boss.

    jasus here we go - AMAB thread

    just as well the fairer sex would never dream of cheating

    your thread title should really be why do PEOPLE cheat ,
    but then that would not convey your agenda ?

    good luck with this one:eek:

    Probably for the same reasons women cheat on their boyfriends - opportunity, boredom, 'grass is greener on the other side' syndrome etc. etc.

    Why do women cheat on their boyfriends?

    In general I'd guess is because the thrill of picking someone up for a one night stand is completely different to taking your girlfriend out.

    If I am with someone I am with them though, I don't feel the need to cheat, but I am a flirt.

    Because we"re genetically programmed to get out there and multiply.

    I never said women don't cheat of course they do my question is purely trying to understand what the hell my mate is at, surely he can't love his girl if he willingly had unprotected sex with a complete stranger!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    Temptation and alcohol usually I guess.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,450 ✭✭✭✭Birneybau


    Inbuilt desire to procreate as much as possible.

    A woman can only be pregnant once at a time, a man doesn't have to wait.

    Also, alcohol

    My biggest problem with it is that he did it unprotected and didn't tell his girlfriend who he probably doesn't use condoms with. He is opening her up to a huge risk. What a fcuking cnut your friend is.

    A man is only as faithful as his options!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    Actually a girl once started chatting me up in a infamous Dublin nightclub smoking area. I told her I had a girlfriend and her response was that she basically, "so what" and that said, "I thought all guys cheat".
    She'd be a keeper...
    ...thinly veiled I once got chatted up post:D

    Yes what a fuking prick he is, and as I already mentioned I had many a words over this but it happens every ****ing wk end, both men and women

    Because sex usually becomes stale after a while with the same person and sometimes they cannot resist temptation when present with the opportunity to sleep with someone different. It's exciting and feels different and fresh and all that stuff.

    The same reason it's hard to resist a bar of chocolate when you are on a diet. You want the best for yourself and know that eating the chocolate is not in your best interests, but it tastes so good it's hard to resist.

    No sir,

    this is most certainly a thinly veiled 'I have girlfriend post'.

    Personally, Blue-eyes (because i would presume that was how you intended to spell it), I would agree with you. But, I'm not so sure you are in the right forum.

    Unless one or the other was wearing ass-less pants, I'm really not sure how we could help you.

    Have you considered trying the PI forum, or at a push, The Ladies Lounge?

    We're ass-less pants people here.

    Don't ya'see?

    Maybe, talk to Mr.Fallon.
