1) She’s not getting at home. Sure, you may be throwing her the bone on a regular occasion, but it might not be enough. Is it the same, dull routine night after night? When was the last time you tried a new position? When was the last time you went down on her? Do you think she really means it when she says, “That was amazing”? It also might not be that she’s not getting her orgasms at home. That might the only place where you’ve got your shit together. Quit leaving your dirty underwear on the bathroom floor. Stop farting in bed. You know what, watching you walk around naked is not erotic. You look silly. Stop taking her for granted. If your routine in the bedroom is not dull, look at the other 23 hours and 48 minutes of the day. Change it up a little.
2) It’s an ego boost. This one is a two-parter, so work with me here. Like I said before, if she’s not getting it at home, she’s going to get it elsewhere. If she thinks that you think she’s fat/ugly/boring, she’ll find someone who doesn’t think that. Tell her she’s pretty every once in a while. That is part of the ego boost. If her self-esteem needs a little stroking, and you’re not doing it, she’ll find it elsewhere. The second part of the ego boost stems from that insecure little girl that we all have inside of us. The one who didn’t get to sit with the cool kids at lunch. The one who always dreamed of dating Johnny Football Hero. The one with the braces and glasses and bad hair. Well, guess what, she’s grown up into a full blown hottie. And, if Johnny Football Hero hits on her in bar, this is an opportunity that cannot be passed up. She is going to go for it because she has wanted to go for it since she was 13 years old. It has nothing to do with you. This is no judgment of you. You’re still awesome, but he is her junior high crush. Sorry, you can’t compete with that. This is her gimme. Get over it. It’ll only happen this one time, unless he comes back around. Which brings us to our next reason why women cheat.
3) She is lining up your replacement. Some women are so insecure that they will find a new boyfriend before they get rid of the last one. That way, even if the break-up with Guy #1 is the emotional equivalent of the plane crashing into the side of the mountain, Guy #2 will be there to catch her when she falls. WARNING: If you are Guy #2, get out now! You are just a scratching post. You will be replaced.
And finally . . .
4) Because she can. At the end of the day, men are only interested in one thing. If I can get it from someone hotter/younger/richer/smarter/taller/funnier/better equipped than you, I will. However, if I happen to think that the sun shines out of your ass, I’m not going to cheat. Why? Because nobody could possibly be more awesome than you. Some women are pigs. We can act like guys. |
