Why do women cheat?

[Cocoa]

I know alot of females, both at work and else where that is cheating on their husbands and boyfriends, or have cheated on them.
a...Why do women cheat?
b... How can you say you love someone and cheat? These 2 don't match.

> Just wanted to know and have an open discussion on this....we know already why some men cheat, but we seem to forget some women and their deceptive acts. Your thoughts?

[Gillion]

because they can

because they feel they are frced to or compelled to by internal or external factors.

sometimes its just to prove a point to themselves or to the man thats chasing them.

sometimes it is a bout control

but more often than not its about getting what they want from the cheating affair that they are not getting at home.

....because it is the natural order of the Universe.

....because it is the natural order of the Universe.So are you saying it is natural for women to cheat?

[ramesh]

It is natural for all animals to take more than one mate. Very few animals have a monogamous relationship with their mate(s). It's built into the genes. All we have to do is fight those pent-up urges brought on by our animal side and try to overcome them. Hard, isn't it?

But why compare humans to animals?

Animals have no rules governing them.
Animals do not have a consience.
Animals do not have a sense of morality.
Animals mate so that they can survive. They also kill so that they can survive.

If we're going to base humans sexuality to animals sexuality, we should also compare the rest of the animals way of life with ours. But we shouldn't.

We are not animals. We are to govern over the animals not be like them. We are to care for them and to look after them.

But back to the topic.
How can you say you love someone and cheat? These 2 don't match.No, they don't match. So I guess we can agree that women who cheat don't love the one they are cheating on.

But why compare humans to animals? Because humans are animals too. We just choose not to believe it.

Animals have no rules governing them.
Animals do not have a consience.
Animals do not have a sense of morality. Do we know that for sure? Also, don't you know of peple that do not seem to display any of those attributes? Not only that, but all those things occurred or developed over the past few thousand years. What were we like before that?

Animals mate so that they can survive. They also kill so that they can survive. Humans do that too. What if Humans never mated? Other animals also kill for petty jealousy as well. Some animals do not kill for survival, but eat plants to survive, don't they?

If we're going to base humans sexuality to animals sexuality, we should also compare the rest of the animals way of life with ours. But we shouldn't. Because we think we are better than them? Perhaps we are now, but that was not always the case.

We are not animals. We are to govern over the animals not be like them. We are to care for them and to look after them. Go into an African Jungle without protection and let's see who takes care of who. :)

The women I talk to or the ones I see at work and hear them talking say that they cheat because their lovers live far away or their is a major element lacking in the relationship.

Something as simple as: he doesn't talk to me much about certain things, he doesn't want to do this particular thing, he comes home too late at night, he rarely compliments me on xyz...and some little thing like that.

I donot feel however that these women need to justify their actions, but I think they could find a solution like work it out with their partners or simply leave. That's what I would do.

Some women are content with living in both worlds just like some men.
