Why do men cheat on women?
Position2 of 6

Men are born to cheat

This position attributes male infidelity to biology — that men are, in effect, born to cheat. It argues that cheating is hardwired into men's DNA by evolution, including an evolved preference for younger partners, framing infidelity as an innate drive rather than a personal failing.
