re: Why Women Cheat (per CNN)

. When women senses weakness, they look elsewhere. Sometimes, I think the man is trying to give the woman what he thinks she wants, but he only comes across as weak.

Women (if raised right) want our men to protect us.

So don't try to give women what they want... but also try to give them what they want...

Loud and clear!


Protect you from what though? What do women need to be protected from?

Not married, but he is my best friend. I am strong willed, but he is the "man" of the relationship. I think that is important. When women sense weakness, they look elsewhere.

And when they break up, she will tell the next guy "my ex boyfriend was verbally abusive towards me"

From a woman's perspective...

I was sometimes a cheater. Not in great relationships. A few, I didn't cheat on, because they were good to me.

Now, in a relationship with a man I could never cheat on. Not married, but he is my best friend. I am strong willed, but he is the "man" of the relationship. I think that is important. When women sense weakness, they look elsewhere. Sometimes, I think the man is trying to give the woman what he thinks she wants, but he only comes across as weak. Women (if raised right) want our men to protect us.

Problem with this perspective is that it's setting yourself up for failure. If you're prone to cheating , you'll rationalize. No one is the perfect friend and protector long term.

Things will get boring, you'll start feeling sorry for yourself, someone exciting will come along and the pattern will repeat.

Is it the estrogen that makes females dumb? Since you want to give a woman's perspective, let me tell you the truth about guys:

Women go for the a-hole. That's well known. But let me fill you in on a little secret. That nice, quiet, what you think is boring guy, is the one man you don't want to mess with. That is the guy that would fight to the death to protect someone he loves. I'm quiet and shy, but I will beat someone into dust without a moment's hesitation to protect my family.

And that loud mouth a-hole is that way because really inside, he's a coward. I promise you that. And females have been making that mistake for a long time.
