Why Men Cheat

I. Some men are trifling
A.) Men do dirty things while in a committed relationship B.) Men want to fit-in

II. Some men are mack-daddies
A.) Men lie to other women B.) Men tease women heads up

III. Some men crave sexual “variety”
A.) Men want sex from other women B.) Their wife/girlfriend is not getting all of their attention

Thesis Statement: Because men are trifling, mack-daddies, and crave sexual “variety”, they think they can cheat.

It’s hard to find a good man these days. These men are always trying to get over a good woman, but we are smart and know the game. Back in my parent’s day, I think trifling men existed, but not like they do today. The game has been perfected and men have tried to make it harder. There are three categories of men: The Nobody’s, The Somebody’s, and The Nobody’s trying to get to
Somebody status. The Nobody’s are men that don’t care about trying to do better in life. The
Somebody’s are the men who can be put on a program to success. The Nobody’s that are trying to get to Somebody status are the “rejects”. This is the ugly one in the crew. Men want to fit-in too much. The reason why men cheat is as follows: they’re trifling, want to be a “mack-daddy”, and they crave sexual “variety”; consequently they are wrong.

Men are so trifling. They will do the dumbest things and lie about the stupidest things while committed to a relationship. It is not hard to stay faithful to your woman. Trifling men always seem to mess over the good women for the bad ones. As author Clarissa D. Wright says, “men want to fit-it”. They want to show out in front of their home boys bragging about their affairs with different other women while married. When you catch them in action they want to lie about it and tell us sweet things. When they see that we are serious and are going to leave they do everything they can do to get

    Dave Berry is a hilarious and captivating writer. In his article he breaks down three characteristics of what a guy, not man, is. First and foremost, he explains how guys like neat stuff, as he puts it. For example, purchasing over qualified computers for miniscule assignments. While not using the computer for its upmost potential. Or how the space shuttle is still around for guy’s entertainment. Basically, the shuttle breaks down, they fix it, and get to send it back up to space all over again. For the hundredth time. He continues to explain the next and most well-known characteristic of men. One I should have guessed, guys like a really pointless challenge. For instance trying to see who could go the fastest…

    The article “’Bros Before Hos’: The Guy Code” by Michael Kimmel, chronicles the negative perception that men have for the “weaker” man through a list of unwritten rules of men. It stated that this “guy code,” was or is, essentially, what defined masculinity. Many descriptions of weakness include homophobic words like “faggot” and “gay.” Words that pertain more to women, like “pussy” or “mama’s boy,” are also used as an insult to describe a man’s weakness. This is because of the low status that men had been taught throughout the years. Masculinity, Kimmel says, is attributed through peers, male figures in their lives, and a “hard-wired” definition of what being man means. Once a man steps outside of those lines, the risk is looking being emasculated.…

    In the Brave New World people openly have sex with news partners every week, every day or multiple times a day. In the Brave New World the more sex you have the higher people view you. Our society had been evolving to something more and more like this society. A few decades ago we where a lot more closed off in sex. It was something that lots of people thought was for marriage. People use to not live together until they are married. In a recent study it showed that now only 3 percent of people in the united states waite to have sex until marriage (waiting til marriage). Another study showed that “70 percent of married women have cheated on their partners; a 1993 follow-up study found that 72 percent of married men have as well according to” (American Physiological association).

    Men are usually trying to be above each other which is something Tannen calls “one-up”. It is like men are always in competition with people around them. For example, in chapter 2, Tannen explains why men don’t ask for directions. She explains, “The fact that you have the information, and the person you are speaking to doesn’t, sends a metamessage of superiority. If reasons are inherently hierarchal, then the one who has more information is framed as higher up on the ladder, by virtue of being more knowledgeable and competent.” This shows how men are always trying to be at the top of every conversation. They want to know everything, in order to be at the top of everyone.…
