...in context of the article "10 Top Reasons Why Men Cheat ..."
This is possibly the hardest one to understand, but when men are offered sex, they are likely to take up the offer. Research suggests that this is because they are less used to being propositioned and so are more likely to feel flattered and wanted.
Men are often not the recipients of spontaneous sexual advances, which can make these rare offers seem exceptionally appealing. This novelty and the ego boost that comes with it can be compelling reasons for them to act on such opportunities, leading to unfaithfulness despite their existing commitments.
2. It Boosts His Ego ...
Men in long term relationships tend to feel less attractive to the opposite sex, so when a woman pays attention, he will allow her to stroke his ego some more. The thrill of the chase leads to a massive ego boost when he finally sleeps with her.

6. Your Sex Life Has Died ...
Whether you’ve stopped making an effort or you’re just no longer interested, if your sex life is suffering chances are he will play away.
7. It’s Exciting ...
If your life has got boring, he will probably be bored. This is the reason men cheat with people they think are less attractive then their partner. The new woman will be more attentive, and make more of an effort, and he won’t be able to say no.
8. To See if He Can ...
If his friends get away with it, or his parents did, he may just want to see if he can too.
9. If You’ve Let Him in the past ...
It’s true, once he has done it once and been forgiven, he won’t think twice about doing it again.

Men often gauge the likelihood of repercussions from their past experiences. If a man has cheated before and faces minimal consequences, or if the relationship quickly returns to normal, he may interpret this as a green light to repeat the offense. It's essential to understand that this isn't reflective of every situation, but it is a pattern that can occur. Healthy communication and setting firm boundaries after such a betrayal is crucial if you decide to continue the relationship. Otherwise, he may feel emboldened to take your forgiveness as permission to stray again.
10. If You Did It to Him ...
Whether you actually have or he just suspects you to, he will feel hurt and upset and most of the time he will want revenge, whether it’s in the form of a barmaid or his ex-girlfriend.

centavo: How about the reasons why women cheat??? These are the reasons retarded guys cheat, you girls need to stop dating retards
Suburban: REAL MEN don't cheat!! Only those with low self esteem, who sit on their brains!!
James: Girlfriend the number 1 reason on your list should be sex life has died. I hear this complaint all the time. "My wife hasn't put out in 3 months because she is mad about this or that." If you aren't putting out in time they will be.
MARY: Egotistical men with no conscience and poor character cheat.. They have poor self-esteem and no respect for their partners.
jzEllis: Well, although I agree with most of the reasons stated. As a man who loves his wife, and loves his kids to death, I will confess that when I cheated it was much, MUCH more complicated than just the reasons listed above. First it must be ackknowledged that the "cheating" is not the problem, just the evidence of a pre-existing problem comming to a head. Second: if it wasn't through cheating, that problem would manifest itself some other way that would be just as harmful to the relationship. Lastly, IT CAN NOT BE OVERSTATED ENOUGH that many habitual cheaters simply are no longer happy with thier wives (whether they still love her or not) and won't leave her due to the children, or an inability to man up and deal with the hurt they will cause the wife by leaving her for another.
