Why Do Women Cheat?

Spotted this comic in the Newsweek Magazine of all places.

You know, we wouldn't laugh at a comic like this one if there weren't an element of truth in it. It illustrates perfectly the reasons why more and more women are cheating on their husbands or partners.
Complacency, boredom, loneliness, indifference – all the symptoms of a relationship gone stale. Nothing will drive a woman into the arms of another man quicker than feeling lonely and being taken for granted!
Women crave passion, romance, emotional intimacy and human touch – all things that many men tend to forget about once the chase is over.
According to the Cheating Spouse Investigator Insights, here are the top reasons why women cheat on their spouses.
- Revenge – Tit for tat. Some women feel the need to "even the score" on their cheating husbands.
- Lack Of Excitement – Everything about their marriage has become routine and boring, including sex.
- Lonely – Husband is consumed by work and is seldom home. There is no communication.
- Abusive Man – Wife feels she is taken for granted and not valued as a contributing partner.
- Sexual Dissatisfaction – Sexual needs just are not being met by husband.
So why you ask, is your wife cheating on you? It's quite simple really.
Basically, cheating is an attempt by women to recapture those feelings of love, intimacy, admiration and worthiness that their husbands or partners once bestowed on them.
You gave it. You got lazy. You took it away.
She had it. She misses it. She'll find it today…
…with someone else!

Beautiful Enslavement
I have thought of cheating because of my overbearing, constantly accusing boyfriend. That wasn't on your list.
uh yeah, cheating is bullshit regardless of whatever reason you bitches make up for yourselves. it is this simple: break up with the guy before you cheat, OR communicate your issues to him.
you women claim to be the great communicators in the species, and yet every time i have asked a woman what she needed or wanted me to do, she never told me. i even got on chick who told me "she wasn't going to tell me what i needed to do, because it would lessen the act if i knew what to do beforehand"! wtf???!!?!?!!
cheaters are shitty people, because it is about the dishonesty, not the sex. be honest, break it off, and speak your mind before you cheat or break it off. it might save your relationship. …and at the very least if youre just a nympho, consider telling your mate and seeing if they dig it, might get a surprise.
Dude, there are guys out there you just can't pass on. If my boyfriend cheats, i wouldn't want to know… the same way i wouldn't want him to know lol. It's weird saying this right now, cuz i was so against cheating… but it's hard to explain. my guy cheated on me twice, and it hurt like crazy, and took 2 yrs to get over. Don't ask why i stayed, that's a whole other story… bottom line, if he can do it, then so can I. We still have a good time together and don't need to know what's going on. To each his own i guess lol.
In these times, men should realize women are different. They are bolder and meaner, because many are freed from emotional and financial slavery. That they are also capable of doing such act, as cheating, because they also deserve to be loved and feel sexual satisfaction.
I don't encourage women to cheat. But it's time men should open their minds to that possibility.
This is amazing! Every stereotype that I have been given seems to be blown apart when I reflect on the real life experiences I know about! So here is how it is. Both men and women have a right to love and happiness. Yes times have changed. Great. But this does not change the fact cheating is simply selfishness! Spin it how you want, but that won't change the truth. Cheating is about filling yourself up at the expense of another. If you are in need because your needs are not met then do the right thing and be upfront. The problem our culture is too easily embracing is "ME"/selfishness. The more prevalent it is the more that perpetuates the problems. Cheating disgusts me and for the times that it is so covertly planned is the worst. Be a person of character. Respect yourself and others. Be an example. Think of how you would explain your actions to your grandmother or 4 year old when innocently asking why? Have I wanted to yes. But I choose the more difficult paths which I am glad for later.
MEN
DONT GET MARRIED… read the website above.
visit nomarriage.com before you make a decision about any getting hitched!!!
Ok, here is the plain truth. I was a bull rider and traveled all over the US, and Canada a little. I slept with hundreds of women in the time I was riding bulls. The funny part is that over 90% were married, or in a relationship. I can only remember a hand full that were single. I had developed trust issues with women because of this, and when I tried to settle down with women and have a relationship I go digging for info and I always find that they are cheating. I was with one girl who I trusted in that way, but she could not be trusted with money. So she had too go. Now I am one guy and I now others that have the same story. Just look at any pro sports team, say 20 guys on the road, say they each bang 100 diff. women a year. thats 2,000 a year for one team..haha. This is bigger than people realize. Good luck silverbacks!
Bolo,
Great post!!!!! And your point is absolutely correct. Marry an attractive woman and she'll be fucking other men in short order. I'm serious when I say I think the typical married woman today has at least one guy on the side. I think it's fabulous. Simply by having sex outside her marriage, today's woman can regain the intimacy and hot sex she needs and deserves. There is an epedemic of woman taking lovers. And I love it believe me. You've got today's women analyzed correctly Bolo. Why marry when there is all the sex you could ever want available from the masses of married women.

Paige,
I think your statement that the typical married woman today has at least one guy on the side is correct. I think a fifty percent increase in women cheating is conservative. I find it hard to believe you think it's "fabulous" . Yes these women have taken lovers, are having intercourse with them of course, and likely at some point will end up divorced. But then you women file for most of the divorces and I would guess you think divorce is fabulous too.
"Why marry when there is all the sex you could ever want available from the masses of married women." I certainly agree with this statement but I for one think it's sad you can't marry these days and expect your wife to be faithful. Why the dramatic increase in women involved in affairs , and affair related divorces? I would say there are huge numbers of women out there with attitudes just like yours Paige.

Affairs and divorce are both socially acceptable solutions for today's woman. The number of women in affairs is continues to increase. So what happens when we surpass the benchmark set by men? You're right about one thing rainman, there are indeed huge numbers of women out there with attitudes like paige. If you meet someone you're attracted to have sex with them. If you get caught get yourself a divorce. Both socially acceptable and becoming a recurring theme for many.
I would just like to thank Cindy for the article. I certainly feel like this site is helping shape the mindset of so many women and it's impact is truly amazing. It was a real difference maker for me. I was on the fence, couldn't make up my mind about a first affair. I read this article, and read a couple more on this site and suddenly I knew I was going to have my first affair. I'm so thrilled I finally started it and I would just like to take this opportunity tell everyone that's considering an affair to go for it. It is exactly what I needed. The reward is well worth the risk.
Andrea – You’re so right about OCW having a huge impact on the mindset of the women that subscribe. I started reading OCW out of curiousity. I wanted to know why so many of my girlfriends were involved in affairs. I remember thinking affairs were wrong. I, myself would never even consider an affair. Now after reading OCW for almost a year I’ve totally changed my thoughts on affairs. Affairs are trendy, fun, more and more women are doing it, and the hotest sex on the planet. I can tell you from first hand experience since I’m involved in a affair currently. I’m so happy I found OCW. I can’t give OCW complete credit but it certainly did have a huge impact on my change of heart.
