Men are relatively independent in character and more resistant to things than women, so they will be bolder in the face of derailment.
Once derailed, the most serious consequence is that the family falls apart and the individual loses everything. Although everyone is afraid of this result, it is tolerable for men to bite their teeth. Even if the consequences are out of your control, you can recover slowly through time, and the mental stress is not so great.
However, the social pressure and life pressure that women face after cheating will be enormous. It is much more difficult for them to start a new relationship and form a new family than for men. Such consequences are unbearable for most women, so they should be more cautious than men when facing the problem of cheating. Moreover, for the relationship between men and women, the general social values think that men and women have a relationship, and the woman suffers, which also leads to women's unwillingness to bear it.
Cheating has a price. In a normal family, the income of both husband and wife is relatively transparent, and wealth will be gathered together for unified management. Everyone's individual domination is not as great as that of a single person.
People who cheat together also need to have normal consumption. Eating a meal, watching a movie or going out to get a room all cost money. For ordinary people, it is difficult to maintain the stability of cheating relationship without hiding a lot of private money, and the probability of using the common wealth of the family is too high, so as long as the flow of money is controlled, the probability of cheating will be relatively reduced.
The so-called successful people are just relatively high income levels and many sources of wealth. In this case, it is easy to get extra money or other resources to keep your affair relatively stable.
It is not that successful men are more likely to cheat, but that successful men are more difficult to be caught after cheating, so some so-called successful people will relax their suppression of desire and make cheating more frequent. But in fact, most truly successful people are very self-disciplined. They can control their desires and not do too much extramarital behavior. Only the nouveau riche and the rich second generation who lack education are more likely to cheat.
Cheating is equal to men and women. The ratio of men and women who have had the idea of cheating is about one to one, so don't think that men want to cheat more, while women will be more conservative. Everything is under the control of interests. Without the suppression of social morality, men and women will become more crazy. This phenomenon will make society extremely chaotic, which is unacceptable to everyone. Therefore, even if the phenomenon of marital infidelity has increased a lot, most people will still abide by the code of conduct and moral norms and keep themselves in a relatively stable social environment.
