6 Reasons Why Women Cheat
6 Reasons Why Women Cheat
Hillary Clinton became the symbol of long-suffering married women everywhere when she famously stood by her man… twice. But these days when a woman feels dissatisfied in her relationship, she doesn’t just suck it up and complain to her friends over cosmopolitans. She gets a private email account, posts a profile at LonelyCheatingWives.com and starts looking for hookups herself. In other words, the stigma is gone. In the old days, the news that a woman supped at another man’s table might have provoked scandal; now it barely raises an eyebrow. And if she’s someone famous, well, that’s just a boon to tabloid circulation…
“Affairs are not uncommon,” says by the clinical psychologist. “Women tend to keep these things to themselves, but there are signs that they’re catching up with the guys.”
Accurate stats on women’s infidelity are understandably hard to come by since – no surprise here – ladies aren’t always keen on ’fussing up to their extracurricular activities. But it’s generally guesstimated that 14%-40% of married women have intimately tangoed with someone other than their husbands.
In one unscientific yet telling poll at WomanSavers.com (the self-proclaimed “world’s largest database rating good and bad men”), women were asked if they had ever cheated. Of the more than 9,400 women who responded, 49% said they had. Another 26% said that they’d have no problem stepping out on their partners if they knew they could get away with it.
Why? The easy answer is that women today have the same opportunities to cheat as guys always did. Not only do working women have the chance to mix and mingle with would-be lovers (both in the office and on business trips), but the Internet is filled with chat rooms and websites like AshleyMadison.com, Person.com and AffairMatch.com that blatantly court married men and women looking for a little something on the side.
Even so, it takes more than mere opportunity to get a gal to slide between someone else’s sheets. Relationship expert explains what inclines one woman to drop trough while another keeps her knickers on.
Here are the six most common reasons:
6. Familiarity has bred indifference.
-The most common justification for infidelity that Expert hears from women is that they feel taken for granted.
-“When a woman feels like little more than a household drudge, attention from someone else becomes extremely seductive.”
-“If there’s a failure to communicate which is so reinforcing to women in terms of intimacy, emotional satisfaction and relationship satisfaction, then women look outside the relationship for that kind of connection,”
- “Most reason when women cheat, is when she’s unhappy or dissatisfied in your relationship, you’re more likely to be tempted to look elsewhere.”
5. You’re leading parallel lives.
-When She & her partnert start doing things separately.
-When odds of connecting with others who share interests increases.
4. The passion has fizzled.
-“When she feel bored and needs some excitement, and a casual affair may put some zing back in her days, It’s something new, different and exciting” .
-“A cheating woman seeks the thrill of the chase and to see if she can get away with it.”
3. The fantasy has fizzled.
-When the romance fades and realized your guy is not the fantasy man she fell in love with.
- “Women who have false illusions tend to end up cheating because they never really knew the guy to begin with… or hoped he would change,”
-“When a woman’s Prince Charming turns out to be a frog, women often cheat in hopes of finding a new prince.”
2. Your ego needs a boost.
- When sleeping with someone else is an easy way to remind that she’s desirable. Even if your partner is reassuring, for whatever reason, it’s not enough, “and so she looks elsewhere, so she can feel like she’s lovable.”
1. It’s payback time.
-And when a woman catches her man with his hand in someone else’s cookie jar, she figures she’s got a right to a little indulgence of her own. “If a woman finds out her significant other has been cheating, she may heal those hurt feelings by having sex with another man.
-So, if women cheat mainly because they no longer feel connected to their man, what makes a guy seek something on the side?
