Steve Harvey’s Top 5 Reasons Why Men Cheat

sharvey.jpg

1. They can.
2. They think they can get away with it.
3. The man hasn’t become who he wants and needs to be or found who he truly wants to be with.
4. What’s happening at home isn’t “happening” like it used to.
5. There’s always a woman out there willing to cheat with him.

Yup. Sounds about right to me! Wink

In a recent interview with TIME’s Belinda Luscombe here’s what he had to say to this question:

In your chapter on affairs, you say that women have to take some responsibility when men cheat. Have any women taken issue with that?

“Not yet. I’m pretty sure they’re coming. I tried to release women, to let them know that usually when your man cheats it has nothing to do with you initially. We men try to use you to justify what we’re doing, but it’s usually that we don’t have ourselves together. [A man] is weak in some area, and so he goes outside his relationship. But there are some things women do to contribute to this. I have a chapter in the book talking about what a man has to have: support, loyalty and “the cookie” [sex]. If any of those things are missing, he’s going somewhere to get it, because he has to have it. I try to tell people how important sex is to a man. All you gotta do is look at prisons. That’s the roughest analogy I can give. If it’s not happening at home, he’s going to get it somewhere. He’s just not that good of a guy that he’s going to sit there and do without it. And a lot of times men cheat because there are so many women out there willing to cheat. If women say, “I’ll take something rather than nothing” — wow, that’s a playground for us. I know that answer doesn’t fare well with women. But we’re very simple creatures. I told HarperCollins, this book could actually be about 35 pages. Because we’re guys. We are that simple.”

So what made Steve Harvey presume to be a relationship expert for women?

“The advice I’m giving to women is actually from an expert point of view. I’m an expert on manhood. I know how men think. And I know how men think when they’re not responding to questions in a clinical study. It’s a culmination of 52 years of living. All my friends are male, and they’re from all walks of life. I have friends from all different races. We have cultural differences, but we think the same way. And I can share with women exactly how men think, exactly how your man thinks. I don’t care who he is, how old he is, how much he makes. When it comes to these subjects, this is how men think.”
