Beauty And Cheating

Why do men with beautiful wives still go out and cheat on them? When these super perfect looking women marry, they believe in themselves that this man is theirs and theirs only - he won't want to look at another woman. Unfortunately that is not so, men with beautiful wives do stray - especially if he has loads of money or he falls short of being handsome. Of course there are many faithful men out there - whether the wife is beautiful or a plain Jane. So what keeps those men homebound and what prompts others to stray? Any ideas?

I think part of it is how seriously he takes his wedding vows and how much he cares if he hurts his wife or not.

Same if it's "she"?

Yes indeed. Some couples marry for the wrong reasons. There is no true love or commitment.

Probably it's down to moral character - and being a decent human being.

The character of both persons involved would play an important part.

I believe most men cheat because there is something missing inside of them. They think a beautiful wife will fix it, and when it doesn’t, they look to someone else to fill that hole in their life. Instead of doing the work required to fix what is wrong in their heart they seek an outward solution to an inward problem.

@Kandae11 It’s easier. But it never stops the constant desire for new and different.
@Kandae11 (56378)

I think most of them prefer the outward solution.

That is it exactly. Most times the one they cheat with is far less attractive than the wife.

Beauty is NOT everything. After a while a man has enough of "only" beauty. They want also to eat good food, to find a clean home. To have a companion who shares their joys but also their problems. If all what they have is a pretty face and body, they go search for someone who can listen to them.

@Kandae11 Those who only marry someone because of their beauty always make a mistake.

I was always faithful but men who stray may do so because they want to try something/someone new/different. Some men may also want confirmation that they're still "young and attractive" even if they're the ugliest man on Earth. When young(er) women come on to them, it gives the same thrill they got when they were actively pursuing their wife/partner. ALL men, whether faithful or not, LOOK at other women. That's just part of being a man. Looking is not part of touching, though. (Women, whether they acknowledge it or not, also look at other men.) And yes, I was approached by other women when I was married. It was extremely flattering but I loved my current wife and knew it wasn't worth losing what I had... until something in the relationship pushed me to seek a divorce. (I've been married and divorced twice.)

@Kandae11 Thanks... Believe it or not, sometimes I still miss my first wife. I'm glad I'm not still married to her but we "got" each other and I miss talking with her.

As some men grow older, no matter how beautiful their wives are, many still want affirmation that they are still attractive, so they go in search of someone who could validate their worth again. Insecure men may not find the admiration of their wives enough for their male ego, so they find someone who could bolster their ego once more. I'm not a man, so I may be wrong. This is only based on what I have observed and read, and I am not generalizing. There are many reasons why men go astray and this is only one of them.

I agree fully with that observation. Another thing l have noticed is that some of the women they cheat with are not even half as good looking as the wife at home.

That's their nature. They cannot be faithful to one person. Maybe after a point of time they think they are bored of their partner and search for someone else. I hate such people who are of this nature.

I really don’t understand adulterers at all. Why even get married if you can’t be faithful.

Some live together for years, then eventually when they get married, the relationship falls apart.

I agree with you. I always say if one can't be loyal then just don't marry anyone.

I found your post kind of odd. What does physical beauty have to do with cheating? A woman (or a man) is not a "keeper" because of initial physical attractiveness. That wears off pretty quickly. Other factors are way more important. People cheat because some need is not being satisfied.

Lets say l am kind of delving into human behavior and beliefs which does seem odd at times. From what l have read, witnessed , heard and diagnosed there ARE women out there who feel that their beauty will keep their man from straying - many get a rude awakening. There are many other things which could keep a man from straying, not beauty necessarily.

If a man is straying, the fault goes to the wife. Her vows said she was to love, honor, and respect him. If they honor their vows, he won't stray. She builds him up with her words and actions. The same is true for the wife who strays. If a man has no respect for his wife, she will look for it somewhere else.

@evilamericans I agree. And yet, there must be a reason for cheating.

@evilamericans I think it's one reason why marriage is down and living with someone is up. They can up and leave when it suits them.

Some wives try their best and some husbands do their best, but it seems not to be enough - there is always something. I remember someone l knew way back saying that she was tired of her husband and planned to leave him and go to Canada. She said she was tired of waking up every morning and seeing his face next to hers and l am thinking that a lot of women would love to wake up and the husband is there instead of somewhere else.

The reasons why some men with beautiful wives may choose to cheat are complex and vary from individual to individual. It's important to note that infidelity is not limited to men or based solely on physical appearance. Infidelity can occur in relationships for a multitude of reasons, including personal insecurities, unmet emotional needs, lack of communication, boredom, or seeking validation outside the relationship. Factors such as wealth or perceived attractiveness may influence some individuals' choices, but they do not solely determine a person's likelihood to cheat. It's crucial to remember that every person and relationship is unique, and generalizations may not capture the complexities and nuances involved. Faithfulness in a relationship is built upon trust, mutual respect, open communication, shared values, and emotional connection. These factors, along with personal integrity and commitment, contribute to maintaining a strong and fulfilling partnership. It's worth noting that both men and women can experience infidelity, regardless of their partner's physical appearance. Cheating is not a gender-specific issue and can occur in relationships irrespective of external factors.

I have had the same question for a while. I asked my friend the same question the other day and she told me that her husband told her that when men aren't able to do the things they want with their wives then they look for other ladies to satisfy them. I did ask my husband the same question he says it's temptation but if ones really love their wife they won't cheat on them no matter what.

@TheHorse Some wives do not agree with everything the husband might want her to do. And if it is done halfheartedly it puts a strain on both participants and a strain on the relationship.

Yes, that is definitely one of the reasons why men would consider cheating - and do it.

Its complex. There many different motivations and causes that are unique in every situation. This only goes to show that its not just beauty alone. Men can cheat if they are unhappy and not satisfied emotionally in their relationship, feels neglected, unappreciated, bored etcetera. Some have issues within themselves that they needed to feel validated by pursuing other women. Some feels a sense of excitement, newness going for extramarital affairs. So many reasons but these are definitely never an excuse for infidelity. There is no justification for cheating!

Well said, those are very good points you raised. I agree with you entirely. What l am trying to point out here is that physical appearance is not everything in a marriage. His wife might be a beauty queen but he might still stray, there are other factors needed to hold a marriage together.
