    Blokes like to try n chase the challenge. you just havent found the right guy yet. ive been cheated on by 3 gf's before n yes i know how painful it is. i have a couple of friends who cheat on their gfs and i hear why. they just get drunk forget about ther gfs and want act single cuz the rest of them are. when somethings too easy to get, some people lose intrest cuz there is no challenge. you'l meet someone nice 1 day. just try to be a positive person because 1 thing thats a 1000000000% true is good things happen to positive people. you'l get there :) we all will. Hope this helps

    People do not seek out to cheat , they don't just wake up in the morning and say "i am cheating today on my husband or wife" ....

    i guess the world is grey, you are going to get a bunch of ridiculous answers that people are either going to be offended or they aren't going to care to tell you why...

    why are you asking? do you want to cheat? have you been cheated on before?

    so have i and people cheat for a million of reasons, a) they dont care about the person anymore b) they aren't in love with the person anymore c) they can have 2 lives , one they are not happy in and one they are happy in, i think the bottom reason is they don't care because if they cared, they wouldn't have done it. when i said ridiculous answers i meant not that others feelings and thoughts weren't important, that cheating sucks and some people dont look at it as the same as you and me, some people feel it's just human to cheat, which statistics they are probably right ,but there are 1000's of reasons why someone cheats

    If you are talking about cheating in a relationship, I just do not know.

    Any other cheating (games or sports) I think that is because they don't think they are good enough to win without cheating....and they are right. The second they cheat, even if the score says they won, they will always know that they didn't really win, so they will always be losers in their own minds and hearts.

    Out of control hormones, excitement, something new, the thrill of a new lust/love, attention, bored, lonely...

    Not necessarily...you can have a great relationship & still cheat. Sometimes it has NOTHING to do with the relationship you are in. There is something amiss inside YOU.

    Woah calm down mate. Have you not considered that some people might have been hurt over and over and over and want to find out why people do it. And by the way a book won't help find answers the way sharing with people does.

    I'm calm. It's just that I was about to answer when I realized I could just go cut-and-paste it. I also realized that the quality of my responses suffers more each time I reply. Also, people are full of crap. Their answers reflect their prejudices and baggage, whereas an empirical look at it actually has some chance of approaching objectivity. Talking to people about it might allow you to vent, or to find someone to support your view of things, but it will seldom open your eyes to anything you weren't already thinking.

    They're not getting what they need, or want, from the relationship. It doesn't have to be a physical/sexual need; it can be an emotional need that isn't being met. You can have bitter feelings toward a spouse, feelings of resentment or if the spouse has cheated on you, you might cheat as a way of getting even.
