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

I don’t think that way at all. It’s just I’m so used to hearing (from my parents generation) that alot of men end up leaving their wives for younger prettier women. It’s happened to a lot to people I know. It’s sad & disgusting but it happens a lot especially when the man is wealthy & has options. So many men find it hard to turn down women if they’re approached which to be honest has scared me off marriage. In the case of my cousin he’s much less attractive & everyone always asks him how did you get her. Which is a mean thing to say of course but no one ever expected him to cheat

Having a Ferrari doesn't mean you don't get bored of it and want to drive a Fiesta sometimes.

No matter how great your partner is there is always going to be the temptation for new experiences, particularly if they are readily available.

Totally this

what an odd question! Men don’t cheat because their partner is lacking, they cheat because they personally lack integrity and values.

@Happyjoe quite the opposite, i have a lot of respect for women and hate the way some men treat them actually, i have no idea what gave you that impression, it sounds like you have your own issues going on as you’re very defensive.

@Happyjoe i’m not religious in any way but to be fair i am enjoying winding you up, your views are very one sided. I’d guess you’re a man hater 😂

It's really simple. They cheat because they can. Generally, it has absolutely nothing to do with looks or the type of person their wife is. The opportunity presents itself, so they take it. Some chase it, because it's exciting.

I think where you're going wrong is you're expecting people to cheat because they're trying to "trade up". You're thinking they want someone better. Smarter, prettier, funnier, younger.

In my experience, people cheat not because they want something better, but because they want something new, different, or just want more.

My Dad cheated over and over again on every woman he was with because he felt a desperate need for everyone to like him. He'd neglect friendships because he was chasing after a potential new friend, and he did the same with every relationship because he needed the next person to love him. It didn't actually matter what that person was like, he just needed them to be into him. He always wanted what he didn't have.

I on the other hand used to cheat because sex with someone new was exciting, and I didn't really care about blowing up what I had in the process. I was young, stupid, selfish, and the role model I had was my Dad, so no help there. I enjoyed the relationship I was in, but if there was a chance to experience someone new, then I'd always go for that, because what if that chance never cropped up again.

And then I met DP, and properly fell in love for the first time, and in 20 years haven't cheated on her once.

That’s a good explanation thanks for sharing

Because not all beautiful women are nice people?

The title of the post implies the post is just about if a woman is beautiful but if you read my further posts it explains that is not the case

Not about looks in the end is it?
Look at Tess Daly. Big Vernon stil sexted someone else!!

Probably an inferiority complex they probably didn’t get enough female attention before marriage

Sheer bloody arrogance -because they think they deserve it. I see older men eyeing up my attractive 20 year old DD, and it doesn’t cross their minds that they’re creepy as hell. They 100% think they can get her.

Interesting because in my opinion the men I know who cheat have done so with women who are not as beautiful or clever as their wives.

So, they are incredibly stupid too.

Looks aren’t everything.

God forbid that a man might be attracted to a woman because of her personality or character.

Those of us about in the early 90s can remember the collective public horror when Charles left young, beautiful Diana for ugly, old Camilla despite it being blatantly obvious that Camilla was a more suitable character for Charles and that Diana - whilst undeniably beautiful and charming - was a deranged, vacuous airhead.

Oh my! So those of us who aren’t particularly attractive according to societal standards are inevitably going to get cheated on?

This is quite unpleasant.

Why did Kristen Stewart cheat on Robert Pattinson?

Because maybe he’s bored/they row/have no connection/they’ve grown apart. There are myriad reasons and attractiveness doesn’t hold a marriage together.

It's your opinion that your cousin is not only beautiful but totally perfect. But her husband might have a very different perspective

All the time we hear about men who are charming to others but abusive in private. Women are also capable of this - usually emotional rather than physical abuse

Unless you live with them and see every aspect of their home life, you do not know what is going on in their marriage

It might not be abuse obviously she might just be very boring or inconsiderate or messy or have other qualities which have turned him away

When I was a younger man my libido was an itch that constantly needed scratching. For various reasons I had enough self restraint not to behave like a tom cat but had certain things but just a bit different I might have been, and I expect I would have stayed in the habit.

Most men have enough self restraint. A minority (only slightly more than women, actually) don't, and for that minority I don't think looks are that important. Why would they be?

The idea that Sydney Sweeney isn't good looking baffles me.

Maybe because when you've been with someone for a while, beautiful or not, they become familiar and you feel like trying a different flavour of ice cream. Also you don't see the beauty after a while. I used to go out with a really good-looking guy who so many women were obviously into. After a while, I realised I couldn't see his good looks anymore - just a vain, self-obsessed type who was a right prat.

Because they can.
Because they are dicks.

I don’t think that’s the case in Charles & Diana’s case. I think it was a case of them being mismatched from the start.
