Why do men cheat if their wife is beautiful?

[Leyna2]

Hi everyone does anyone know why a man who has a stunning wife that he loves still looks around for other options or cheats? It’s something I can never understand. If they have a gorgeous wife, and a loving happy marriage why do they risk it all for no reason? Thanks

If my partner had slept with another woman or even kissed another woman it would be over

how on earth can you trust someone like that? And from experience of friends who have given men a “2nd chance” that’s just a green light to do it again as it says “I’m ok with that I forgive you” and they think the women will forgive and forgive

good on your cousin for sticking to her guns

What a vile analogy.

The man has a fragile ego & is insecure

beauty desire lust can mean different things to different people,

Women cheat too, it’s not about looks. Are you very young? It’s incredibly shallow and immature to think it is.

For it to be more surprising that beautiful women get cheated on, it must be less surprising that ugly women get cheated on, surely?

I heard a theory somewhere that a man who knows he’s less attractive in his main relationship wants to feel the power of being the more attractive one?

Or some such bollox.

It’s a weird question. The cheater cheats because they have no morals and no respect. Looks don’t come into it.

Because men in general like having sex with lots of women. Biologically there is no reason for men to be monogamous.

Men with beautiful wives cheat for more or less the same reasons that men rape.

Because for them sex isn’t about intimacy, love and affection between people who love and respect each other. Its about power, about thinking men are superior to women, about not respecting boundaries, about their personal insecurity and hang ups about sex, and most of all because they can.

Me three, what about a really kind , caring woman getting cheated on. Reminds me of when any young girl or woman is murdered who happens to be very pretty. You often hear people say things like 'ah, such a beautiful girl as well' as if that somehow makes it worse than if it was a 'plain ' girl.

Just because a person, man or woman, is physically attractive doesn't mean they're a nice person. Maybe they are vacuous, or unpleasant to others, or self absorbed or just not the right person.

Have symmetrical features doesn't make you better than other people.

Men don't hold women up to the same beauty standards we women hold ourselves up to. In fact, men generally think the most mediocre and plain looking women are "hot". So cheating has absolutely no connection to beauty, and beauty is definitely not what makes a man stick around and be faithful. As others have said, your cousin has chosen to marry a terrible man that lacks morals and respect, and that's the real issue here.

Men who are significantly less attractive than their partners seem in my experience to be more likely to treat their other half poorly. I can think of several examples of this from my own social circle - from infidelity to controlling behaviour and even domestic abuse. My non scientific theory is that they are compensating in a very warped way for their sense of inferiority.

I am young I’m in my 20s it’s not my opinion but unfortunately I’m surrounded by guys who say & think this. I think social media has made guys focus on looks so much more than before.

Yes that’s exactly what I meant. I think it stems from the man’s insecurity eapecially when he feels inferior

What on earth does cheating have to do with how beautiful/attractive or not anyone is? You can have a dysfunctional/deathly dull/unhappy marriage with anyone - whatever they might look like.

no, guys in their 20s have always been shallow.

Yes definitely I think it stems from insecurity even more so when he feels inferior

Men cheat. Men with very beautiful wives cheat. Men with wives more attractive than themselves cheat. Very attractive men with less attractive wives cheat. Unattractive men cheat. Also, women cheat. It's depressing but not everyone cheats all the time.

Thrill of the chase

By far the most common reason why married men cheat on their wives, even if the marriage is otherwise happy, is because their wives lose interest in having sex with them. That applies however beautiful or plain she may be.

It’s not about the woman, it’s about boosting his own ego.

Because its all about their egos and their dicks. Any man that gets his ego stroked loves it. Whether they take the next step and cross the line is the difference between a decent one and a cheating arsehole.They suddenly feel like they're the most fantastic man in earth. They don't need to make an effort with their wife or partner as they already have them at home. The chase and excitement takes over and the thoughts of their wife etc goes out of their head whilst they are on a one way path to pleasure but also to destruction imo. The person that is their wife doesn't even enter their head, no matter how wonderful that person is. IMO.

It is senseless.

I'm glad she won't have him back. He'll do it again, it's who he is.
