Now you may be wondering why this entry isn’t simply titled; “Why Women Cheat." Well contrary to what you may believe, women tend to cheat for the same reasons as men. Don’t believe me? Something told me you wouldn’t. So I took it upon myself to find out from the source. I surveyed a small sample of women as to the reasons why women cheat, and here are my findings.
I GOTTA GET MINE
Many of the women surveyed said women cheat if the sex is wack. No real surprise there. I’ve heard many a woman complain about boring sex, or insufficient sex. We’ve all heard about the infamous “two-minute brother” “two-pump chump”, and what was the name of that song back in the day, “Short Dick Man”? Women have physical needs just like men, and they may stray to have those needs fulfilled. *For the record I’m NOT writing from experience on this one (Scorpios Rule!).
“WHY, WHY? TELLEM THAT IT’S HUMAN NATURE”
Two more of the biggest reasons given for why women cheat are the quest to find more emotionally. Women require attention from a man. Women require love, and caring from a man. Sound familiar? If you’ve read my last blog entry WHY MEN CHEAT it should. Our needs aren’t all that different from each other. After all, aren’t we all human?
Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s get down to it. Why do women seem to cheat better? Are they really that much craftier, more conniving, or smarter than us? Although some may argue that this is the case, I choose to look more closely. Let’s get forensic with it.
THE USUAL SUSPECTS
Men have been known for sleeping around with multiple women since the days of concubines. We’ve built up such a reputation for coochy-hopping that we’ve been placed under a constant microscope when it comes to the cheat game. So if the subject of cheating arises, a man is almost always going to be suspected over a woman. It’s like suspecting an ex-con for a crime over a person with no record. If you put the two on a stand and asked “Who done it”, 9 times out of 10 people are going to blame the ex-con. So ask who’s cheating, and it’s almost always going to be the man.
ACT LIKE A LADY
Society has taught us that it’s not in the nature of a woman to cheat. Little girls have been often taught that they are to learn how to take care of a household, including man and child; often in attempt to find a good husband. Little boys have been taught how to be aggressive in school, career, etc. We’re supposed to learn all the ways of the world. So while we’re out learning these ways, we expect a woman to be somewhere “waiting” on us. As you conquer the world, someone may be home conquering your girl. While you think she’s home baking some chicken, she just might be getting some dick in.
THINK LIKE A MAN
A man is usually less willing to believe his woman would cheat on him than vice versa. This can be attributed to male ego. His pride can be his own worst enemy. I’m sure you’ve heard plenty of men say stuff like “I got the pussy on lock”, or “She ain’t goin’ nowhere”. Men have long been taught that no “real man” let’s another man take his woman. The problem is that opinions can differ on the definition of a real man. A real man doesn’t just assume his woman won’t cheat. A real man will make sure he keeps his woman satisfied physically, emotionally, and otherwise so she doesn’t want to cheat.
So why do women seem to be better at the cheat game? Are they slicker, sharper, or just plain better? I’m not sure, but I have my doubts. What I do know is they have better cards up their sleeves. DUECES!
Interesting perspective. I think you may be on to something. Of course men and women both cheat for a lot of the same reasons. I personally think that women do it better (in general), but I never thought that maybe while all eyes are on "the classic cheater," the man, that does give women a huge opportunity to fly freely under the radar. Good post.
ReplyDeleteI agree w/S.C. Women are smarter than men! We've known that for centuries now. Therefore, women DO cheat just as much or maybe even more now b/c we can. We can get away with it. & the funny thing is that these men who r doing the cheating, really thinking their gurl isn't doing the exact same thing...come on now, we're not stupid! U can do ur thing just like we can do ours! The same reason u think u r slick & we don't know, we're doing the same thing. So, when ur out there doing the "do", we doing the exact same thing. Our lies are better, & way more convincing, therefore, ur not suspecting a thing...why?? B/c u think its ok for u to do it, but not us? That's a double standard boo! So, keep on thinking that its ok to cheat on us, always know in the back of ur mind that we could be doing the EXACT SAME THING! So who get's the last laugh! & who know's it might even be "ur boy"...so now what?!
ReplyDeleteWho cheats better depends on who you're with also. If you're a lady with a man who is VERY into you...and he can see through you, you will NOT be able to weasel you're way out of getting caught up. If you're with an arrogant or a clueless man, then it's far easier to get away with it.
ReplyDeleteOn another note...women are more natural at paying attention to the details and the subtleties...and because of that we're able to plan around those details better than men. Men just see the ass and wanna tap it. Women will be patient with it....
i firmly believe that it is impossible to get all that you need in one person....therefore cheating is imminent. As a woman...when you're expected to be monogamous (especially from an evolutionary perspective) it's destined that we would have developed the necessary skills it takes to cheat inconspicuously, whereas men have always been able to explain away their behavior using biological excuses and thus haven't needed to develop the skills to be slick with it.
ReplyDeleteNow....maybe that's a new topic...why monogamy is bogus!
