Have you seen the studies that estimate the percentage of people who have cheated? I can assure you that it is not confined to Hollywood. It's all about hand, but females have it twisted. A guy's tendency to cheat isn't tied directly into whether or not his girl is hotter than him.

I don't think it has anything to do with the female being hotter or not. It has to do with the mentality of the male and whether or not he chooses to cheat. Some do, some don't. Perhaps the better looking males just have more opportunities to do so than other guys...but it still comes down to the person and whether or not they can live with themselves after cheating.
I always live by the motto Do onto others as you would want to be done unto yourself I don't cheat because I wouldn't want my girl to cheat on me Too many selfish people
Your theory is tripping me out. It gives me and all average looking guys out there hope and explains what the heck great looking ladies have seen in them, security and self-esteem. It doesn't have to be taught, they just know what to do as if it is some sort of genetically inherited self-defense system. At the same time, it is true that females are just better looking than males, it's impossible for all of them to be with a better looking male at one time, sorry ladies. Also, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, one may judge his or her own or another coupling as asthetically mismatched, but to that couple or lady or guy, it may be the other way around or perfectly even. In the end, the decision to cheat or not to cheat comes down to the individual person, I did cheat once in a very early and meaningless point in a past relationship with one lady I was absolutely crazy over, unfortunately, I don't have the protection against karma that pricks and assholes do, I've never done it again, because karma got me soon after when the girl I cheated on cheated on me and I'm positive it'll get me again.
I've never cheated, but I think guys do it because they either don't truly care about the feelings of the girl they're cheating on, and they don't think they'll get caught (or just don't really care if they get caught). Basically a "the grass is always greener" scenario in most cases, where the guy thinks he's movin' on up and doesn't care if he hurts someone in the process. In that sense it might help to try and ensure sure you're the best he thinks he can get. Then again, if hotter girls see him with you, his stock automatically goes up and the grade of girl he can potentially jump ship for goes up too. So...I don't think it really works in the end. It just comes down to whether he likes you enough to be faithful.
Actually, now that I read this thread over again...I can say that the book "Sperm Wars" (I believe that is the one, it is one of the other evolutionary biology books) actually goes into detail on why females would want to get a less attractive guy in a long-term relationship.
It's all personality. Women might think this is a way to hedge the risk of cheating, but after awhile, looks aren't the only factor in a relationship.
after a while the biological clock starts ticking. when they hit their early to mid twenties personality and looks go out the window for a guy who can provide a comfortable life.
Excellent advice. I wish the girls of today would adhere to that advice. It's so freakin simple yet they act like we are complicated.
Let's look at this from another perspective. The guy has been getting regular sex forever. He meets a girl, and she is able to change his horrible ways and make him a better person (quit drinking, smoking, etc, etc). They're in love, everything is great. Yet the girl doesn't want to have pre-marital sex (for religious reasons) and he doesn't want to have pre-marital sex with her. They can't get married right now. What to do now? Looks, love, etc.. all out the window. This is purely a NEED problem. What I'm trying to say is that you can't isolate cheating to one trend. The correlation would be poor. You can, however, correlate cheating to a basket of things such as looks disparity, physical desire, mental problems, etc.. Maybe at a very basic level, a guy having sex is like a dog peeing on its territory? In addition to all its elements that we know and enjoy, perhaps there's also a certain possesive quality to it.
Oh and on the last bit I should've added, we try to get whatever's missing in our life/relationship. Sense of humor, respect, even loyalty I guess. So maybe the way we claim it is by cheating?
