Best Answer
Testosterone, pure and simple. I had a group of young men come in to talk to some teenage girls about sexuality. They said that nothing outside of the guy makes him cheat. I mean, he could be very happy with his relationship. It's just that urge that happens when they are at their peak in terms of testosterone. The young men went on to say that at that point, a man will say anything to get his rocks off.

It was very enlightening to hear this from young men.

A complete lack of morals, integrity and character.

It can be any of the following reasons:

1. He doesn't care much for the relationship with his girlfriend so that he is willing to take a risk;
2. He feels a void in the relationship that another person can fill;
3. He doesn't find the relationship exciting anymore;
4. He met another girl whom he finds more interesting;
5. He has the opportunity to cheat; or
6. He needs to feed his ego.

And the list can go on and on ....

this is not the correct question. the correct question is "what will make him NOT cheat?" some guys are ******** and will cheat regardless and some guys are just so beaten down that they WON'T cheat no matter how ruthless or horrible said girlfriend is. however the majority of men, or even just people are somewhere in the middle-- they can be driven to cheat by an unhappy relationship. therefore, keeping the relationship satisfying is what one needs to do. note, however that if the relationship has gone so sour that cheating becomes regular it may NOT be salvageable.

He is a womanizing piece of dirt with a weak ego; with an overwhelming need to prove his manhood through sexual prowess.

It's the easier thing to do.
Homo Sapiens struggles with monogamy because it is not natural.

Usually for the same reasons a girlfriend will cheat on her boyfriend. Pay attention to the confessions and stories here on EP?

Not talking to his girlfriend about whatever the problem is in their relationship. Too many women punish their men for being honest, so they are afraid to talk out the difficult things. This doesn't justify cheating, though. A real man will face the difficult issues and fix them, or end the relationship before he goes looking for something else.

His priorities...maybe having freedom/fun and experimenting is more important to him that the safety of a loyal relationship

Not respecting the one he's with, or the one he's with not respecting him. If he's not getting at home as well, he will go somewhere, as bad as things are, men NEED sex, it's their stress relief, not just their pleasure.

Cheating happens when the love fuel tank is empty at home. If both parties are keeping the tank full at home, then the idea of cheating will be foreign to him. If he's a moral person and not getting the type of love at home that he is craving, then he'll look for other avenues before cheating. Look at the 7 love languages to see which you are and which your partner is and try to give them what they need. They won't go if you make the effort. My wife made me read the book.
