Who’s More Likely to Cheat

The Profile of a Cheater

When in a relationship, we don’t always want to believe that our partner is capable of cheating. It doesn’t exactly start things off on the right foot. Looking at someone’s profile to see what the chances are may seem like a pessimistic thing to do. However, like in many health concerns, there is power in taking the steps toward prevention. Unlike the dirty stigma that has been handed to cheaters, almost anybody is capable of making a bad decision under poor circumstances. However, there are also partners who are beyond prevention, and therefore, consider this article your “get out of that bad relationship” wake-up call.

The research suggests one of the biggest red flags of a pending affair is your sex life. How good is it? How often do you have it, and does it meet you and your partner’s expectations? When it comes to a partner who is not holding up their end of the bargain, it is both men and women who are likely to stray. Just how likely will depend on a number of factors, including their personality, history and stress level. Let’s look at several of these factors in detail.

Lack of Sex

Men cheat when they or their partner can’t perform. Men are embarrassed to talk about their (or your) poor performance, and it becomes easier to seek out intimacy with a stranger for two reasons. One, the newness is sometimes enough to boost their sex drive to overcome ED, and two, if they fail to perform with a stranger, they never have to see them again.

Lack of Emotional Intimacy

Both men and women are more likely to cheat when they are dissatisfied with the emotional level of their relationship. In particular, they need to feel loved and appreciated. The best thing a couple can do to prevent this form of cheating is to schedule time for each other, and offer one token of love each and every day.

Risky Behavior

Any partner who is difficult to satisfy is more likely to turn to risky behavior to find pleasure. Once they have tried every hobby there is, they may discover that the thrill of infidelity offers a continuous flow of new sexual partners, along with the risk of getting caught. It may be hard keeping things exciting enough to keep this kind of partner all to yourself.

Emotionally Unavailable

According to research, men who are emotionally unavailable, may lack Oxytocin receptors in the brain. They are what allows him to trust, feel love and understand commitment. If you suspect your guy is lacking in this important chemical, he may never be able to fully commit to your relationship.

Jealousy

It has been found that jealous partners are often so distrusting because they are suspicious of their own tendencies. They may say that you are unhappy and looking for excitement, when in reality they are just projecting the feelings and desires they are hiding from you.

Narcissistic Behavior

Partners who are selfish in thought often feel entitled to those feelings. The combination of being selfish and entitled will leave you chasing after your own tail, and if they do cheat, it will always be your fault.

Too Much of… Not Enough Time

A cheater has never made it far without having plenty of opportunities. One of the easiest ways to remind your partner of their commitment to you, is to take time to strengthen your relationship each day by spending at least 30 minutes of quality time together.

Chronic Stress

Some researchers believe that men react to stress with an unconscious desire to propagate the species. Think of it as one last hurrah before his curtain falls. This may have worked great when he was dealing with a fatal saber tooth tiger wound and had only three days to live. However, when the stakes are a bad boss and a stack of unpaid bills, you can counter this reaction by expressing support and confidence in his ability to get through it.

Money

Money may or may not be the route to evil, but it is certainly an indicator of the potential for cheating. Studies suggest that men are more apt to cheat when they are financially dependent on their partner, as a means to reclaim their masculinity. You can avoid these feelings by making sure he feels appreciated and needed.

Lack of Planning

Men are more likely to resist the temptation of an affair when they have a plan of what to do if they are propositioned. In addition, if you ask a cheater what he or she thinks of other cheaters, they may have a tendency to gloss over such actions with a cavalier attitude. This is why it is important to bring up the topic unassumingly, to get a feel of where they stand.

History

The “other lover” of a cheater always fascinates me, as I wonder how they think they will be able to avoid being cheated on the next time around? The plain and simple statistic is that every relationship that began with cheating, has over a 50 percent probability of ending the same way. So, to answer the very popular question, “Should I give a cheater a second chance?” I say, only if you’re willing to work overtime at keeping them faithful, because they are going to need all the help they can get!
