Response to Passion Magazine: Why Men Cheat.




Heard of the magazine? Its some new lifestyle magazine which was released VERY recently. And there was an article which supposedly would find reasons why men cheat on women. I found that article to be pure bullshit. And for good reason too.


First of all, I had the feeling that the writer was not writing, but ranting. Ranting about men, to the extent that if I were an alien species reading it, I would think that men are evil demonic creatures bent on using women for their own evil needs. However, this is not surprising. Why? Because a lot of female writers who write about such issues, or even ones who write on their blogs about their own experiences are just ranting. There is absolutely no serious thinking done, but instead, its more of something like "I hate all men. They lie and cheat....(several rants later) and this is why men cheat".


One thing I know for sure is, those women or girls are epic failures. Why? Because they couldn't recognize that for relationships to be successful, success comes from both sides, and if that dual success does exist, most men wouldn't cheat. Let's move on to some of the reasons I can think for this, easy but sometimes confusing question.


I just bought a Pentium 3 computer. I love this computer. It has everything I wanted. Of course, there are others around, but I would stick with this one. However, a couple of weeks later, I felt that, this computer has slowed down, or IS slowing down. It doesn't fuction as it used to when I first bought it. But still, usage is good. Then, I tried out this new Core i7 back at a friend's house. It was awesome. Way better than the old Pentium 3. So, why exactly am I still using the Pentium 3? I could have been satisfied if it was consistent, but it's not, and I would now prefer the better Core i7. -takes out bat, smashes the Pentium 3 into smithereens, and buys a new Core i7-

You see where I am heading with that little story? There are several things to be noted here. First of all, people, men, women...aliens....they all do get bored. But that doesn't mean that the boredom should always stay. There is prevention, and there is even a cure. However, when a woman fails to recognize this and thinks everything is fine, or, that the man can never possibly go for another person, she should really slap herself and think again. Why? Because she is getting dumped, all too soon, and I will be there, silently laughing to myself while taking down notes.


Well, that's something which can come ordinarily. However, lets move on to the other, more confusing aspects. Some men, I have noticed are a bit primitive, like cavemen. They want to mate more females, and it gives them some sort of....male dominance vibe or whatever you might call it. Yes, all men do have a sense of pride, but in some, this pride, is just too high. And here is when the problem arises. Most of the time, the idiots who go with these sort of men, will be used, manipulated, and what not, and the very idiotic girls will NEVER even know until it is too late. But then, they will be crying or whatever asking themselves "Why did mister X cheat?"

-slap- He was cheating on you the day you found out his name.


Another reason I can come up with is, the problem you would find in women themselves. Being annoying, and a huge burden on a partner, WILL lead men to cheat. So in a way, women are sometimes the big cause, but by all means, they never know this and try to blame it on some unknown cause which would stay unknown until Earth gets hit by a huge meteorite and wipes out the human race. Relationships need compromise, but why can't some women totally get that? Change yourselves for the sake of something even better. But noooo. We are too perfect for that, says this very dumb female human test subject. But seriously, when a man or boy or whatever finds that the women they originally liked have started to annoy or frustrate them, there comes a big reason for them to cheat. Cheating rids of them of this frustration, something more like, a cleansing phase. Believe it or not, this does happen, and you most probably know it too.


So in the end, there ARE reasons, and there are reasons for these reasons as well. People just don't cheat. A man might not go on with Megan Fox even if he had the chance if he's more than happy with his current wife or girlfriend, no matter how much better Megan Fox might look. So, instead of ranting your ass off about how you got hurt or whatever, try to find reasons.

Like a woman ranting on in a magazine trying to point out men's faults, I think you as a man are also ranting on about why it isn't your fault. :P And you cant blame us for not finding reasons. When you get hurt, the last thing you want to do is find reasons. And for whatever reason it maybe, cheating isn't justified. If you are bored with a woman or you think she's a burden come out clean. A nice breakup would be fine.

i agree with anonymous.. cheating is never justified... and have you never heard of talking about it... If you aren't happy in your relationship don't go out and find a substitute... talk about it first... talk about how the relationship has changed or how you have both changed and how you could try and make things better.. and if at the end of that talk you both are still not satisfied then you know it isn't going to work because the other person is never going to be who you want them to be.. so why continue on... or "release your frustrations" by finding something on the side" why not just face your shortcomings and call it quits??
