More than 50 years ago, The Kinsey Institution, a famous sex-researched institution, conducted a study called the original Kinsey Report. It says that approximately 60 percent of men were unfaithful to their partner before the age of 40.
Now, however, more and more women are unfaithful. Cosmopolitan magazine conducted an online poll of 1,000 men and 1,000 women; 55 percent of guys have cheated on their girlfriend and a shocking 59 percent of ladies said they have cheated on their boyfriends.
Women cheat because they crave the endorphin high from the initial attraction they feel towards a new guy or they may cheat because they feel taken for granted. A new lover will give her the tender loving care their boyfriends don’t. When women stress out (especially over their boyfriend) they may feel attracted to a new guy for their distraction.
Why do men cheat? Well, because they know they can. Their over-confidence makes them think that they’re invincible. Therefore, if they think they can get away with it, they will proceed to satisfy their desires. This type of over-confidence usually ends up getting men into trouble, because they slip one way or another.
A man’s ego is like Mount Everest … nothing is bigger. Whether it’s flirting or making unsuccessful offers to women, a man must feed his ego one way or another no matter if he is attached. What better way to do that than to see how many women he can get?
Great chemistry with a new woman can lead to desire, which in turn leads to flirting, which eventually leads to cheating. When a chance encounter with a beautiful female erupts, men have thoughts of never getting a chance at it again. This proves that men are the weaker and less disciplined of the two sexes.
Most men don’t appreciate the power of a good relationship. They don’t appreciate the hard work it takes for women to satisfy them. This goes back to why most men take their good relationship for granted. Men are weaklings for sex, especially if it’s quick and easy. Thus, most men tend not to listen to their hearts.
Junior, Debra Pickett, said “I dated this guy for a couple months until I found out that he was sneaking over to my best friend’s house at 3 in the morning ‘reading encyclopedias in the basement’. I was extremely upset so I got revenge.” She didn’t tell us how she got revenge, but there is one story about a woman who took violent revenge.
Clara Harris was sentenced to twenty years in prison for running her husband over in her Mercedes after seeing him and his receptionist in a hotel together. Ironically, it was the same hotel that the Harris’ wed in eleven years before. Clara Harris told the jury that she thought they had a peaceful marriage and never had any doubts about David Harris. But last summer, she noticed he was growing distant. One week before she hit her husband, he broke the news to her that he was seeing someone else.
“Unbelievable. If he wouldn’t have told me that himself, I would have never believed it,” Harris said. “I asked him ‘Do you love me?’ and he turned red and he waited, a few minutes if hesitation which told me immediately there’s something wrong here.”
Harris told jurors that she tried to save her marriage after finding out about her husband’s affair with David Harris’ mistress. She said she scheduled breast enhancement and liposuction surgeries. She joined the gym, quit her job, cooked her husband’s favorite meals and tried to please him sexually. Harris tearfully said in court she ran over her husband only once and she was trying to hit his lover’s car. But prosecutors told a different story. Their side was that she deliberately and repeatedly ran over her husband that night in the parking lot. Her defense attorney, George Parnham, argued that she acted out of sudden rage and passion and should have only received probation instead of twenty years
The fact is, you shouldn’t cheat. Cheating is a very serious form of lying. It hurts your boyfriend or girlfriend, it’s not fair for the person you’re cheating with, and — perhaps most seriously — it hurts you. When you cheat, it turns you into a liar. It’s not good for your self esteem, your character or your reputation. If it gets around that you’re a person who cheats, how many people will feel like they can trust you in a relationship?
