Cattitude: Every Tuesday In The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Cat,
I am DDW in the cheating question. I just wanted to thank you for opening this up to your readers. In going through the answers on your web site, I am getting more insight into my friend and quite frankly, I am becoming more disappointed as I read. It has been a learning experience and kudos to your readers for being so honest and giving all of us more to ponder. And maybe his wife isn’t so duped… perhaps she just likes her lifestyle and her social standing. Have a great day!
Hi Cat,
My ‘call’ on why people cheat is: because they attach too much or too little emotion to sex. If it’s too much, then they cheat to escape the pressure and it turns into a self-perpetuating cycle. If it’s too little, they approach sexual conquest the same way they think of money – the more the better.

Cat:
Men cheat simply because it’s in their biological nature. It makes more sense for us to lay our seed in as many women as possible. Simply put, you cannot blame us men for cheating. You can blame us for being dishonest if we say we’re going to be exclusive and aren’t, but not for our nature.
