3. They just need confidence boost.

I remember one of my good friend told me he simply misses his 'younger times', this is when they can on any flirting engagement - where most flings are completely harmless.

After all, just knowing that there are multiple women out there who are willing to engage in intimate relationships with this group of cheating men is a huge confidence booster.

Their confidence just boost when they can attract women. Sometimes women in relationships make their man pay a price before action in the bedroom. 'do this and that first...', 'honey do the dishes tonight and I'll reward you' etc.

This is busting their confidence level. They feel like the women in their life are only wanting to have intimate relationships as a reward. We know, they just want to feel 'hot' and desirable by women.

'Quality over quantity!' I heard someone say.

Yes that's right ...but really we are not comparing you and those other women out there. We really don't care what kind of women, or what is it that they find attractive in these cheating men...

It's not about comparison.

Fortunately some men just need those occassional confidence boost from the women they truly love - and heck why would they risk you for any other confidence booster in the world?

4. It's the excitement baby.

Some men are just cheating due to the excitement of it all. There is definitely a thrill to it!

Don't you sometimes wonder why men are so into drag racing (in simple terms: 'using their super duper modified sport cars to race against fellas with similar interest - hopefully not killing themselves in the process')

Okay, forgive me for being so bitter about it - I have history.

Anyway, men are into something that:

1. Gives them the thrill and excitement 2. Gives them a chance to 'show them what I've got' 3. Is inevitably carrying a great risk 4. Might be addictive

which is exactly what cheating can offer. Sometimes they just forget that cheating has a very great risk - losing a very special loving partner.

5. It's just for sex.

Women can't usually relate to this statement. I personally think sex and

making love are very closely related, and maybe so do you.

But, men are not the same. The term 'sex' and 'making love' are not the same. 'sex' does not always 'making love'.

This is exactly why cheating men can have sexual relationships with other women whilst still loving their current partner. Not many women can separate both terms. For women, if the love isn't there, the sex will suffer. without exception.

Although, men can be very loving to their partner and stay monogamous. But this is mostly because he doesn't want to deal with the consequences of making you - someone that he truly loves - brokenhearted.

Okay, those are the top five reasons on why men cheat. However, there are still men out there who just don't have motivation. I mean, this could be resulting from their family background, or the fact that he wasn't into you in the first place.

Anyhow, women should also consider a man's dating history and family background. A good suggestion and tip is that: If he cheats within the first 2 - 3 months of your new relationship. Run...don't walk to the other direction...he is definitely not worth it girl! don't even bother analysing why.

So how do you know if he's cheating? Here are some signs of cheating men
