Like you, I have wondering countless times, why do men cheat? Is it the thrill of the unknown, boredom or something deeper? So, when my eye caught an inviting headline at the local bookstore, it seemed like a good supplementary vitamin for my ongoing attempt to understand the workings of the male mind!
Never Satisfied: How & Why Men Cheat, written by Michael Baisden (a reformed ladies man!), gives insights to why some men choose to “spread their love” around. It provides a no-nonsense look at men and their opportunistic behavior in dealing with the opposite sex.
My Thoughts on Never Satisfied: How & Why Men Cheat
1. The first section gave telltale signs of infidelity through the behavior of unfaithful lovers. Mr. Baisden creatively uses real life accounts of cheating men to illustrate exactly what women should look for.
On the flip side, it also felt like it was revealing information to women as well as it was teaching men on how to easily get away with cheating! (men confessing how they have cheated and gotten away with it.)
2. As I read the stories of the men interviewed for this book, I couldn’t help but wonder why these men put so much time and effort into being trifling. They concocted some extensive schemes to cover up their acts. Made me wonder, wouldn’t have just been easier to remain single!
3. The anecdotes mentioned in the book seemed a bit over the top and at times strained. Some parts even made me think I had seen or heard about it from a movie somewhere!
4. The book attacks the psychological, sociological and even economic issues behind why men are unfaithful from a realistic perspective rather than using the popular oversimplification “All men are dogs” routine which talk shows have adopted as the standard.
5. Though this this book came out 10 years ago and is extremely relevant today. It seems as if it’s even more so today than it might have been back in the 90s!
6. A few days after reading this book, I was left with the distinct feeling that there’s really no trusting anyone in this world, male or female! ( and that’s an awful feeling). That said, at least your eyes won’t be closed and you know exactly what to be on the lookout for.
7. Mr. Baisden generalizes a lot. So while reading you need to put things into context as everything might not be true for every male/female out there.
8. If you’ve been cheated on, or are being cheated on, this book will have your telltale signs in it! You’ll recognize some of them as being in YOUR situation!

Not all men cheat! its such a bad stereo type, it makes women paranoid and just causes problems the way people go round making out every guy is a cheater.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize halve of them are stupider than that.

Hmmm… something we all want to know, or do we? Interesting. How many points of view are there? Is this just one from the author? Hmmm…
