Why Men Cheat and What to Do About It: A Practical Handbook (Why Men Series)

Rating:
Summary: there are women who cheat too
Review: I hate to tell you.

Why don't there seem to be any books about that? Probably because it's more socially acceptable for men to cheat than it is for women.

I just have one question for Paul Blanchard: how would he react if his SO cheated on him?

Review: On the positive side, the author rightly assures women that a man's infidelity has nothing to do with them. His behavioral clues on cheating men are extensive and helpful. On the other hand,though,Blanchard endorses the biological pshycholgists' theory that its all in the genes. Maybe so--to an extent-- but I question the source of his facts. The most extensive study of the subject indicates that slightly over 30% of men have been unfaithful, as have 15% of women--nowhere near the author's 60-75% figure. On a personal level, the book greatly upset me with its implication that there is almost nothing a woman can do to prevent this behavior and its strong suggestion that a woman should just forgive a man and try to save the relationship in most cases.(This way men have it all--stimulating sex on the side and all the security of a stable relationship.) Perhaps most upsetting(if it's true)is Blanchard's belief that men can cheat even when they dearly love the women they are with. (I am left with the suspicion that the author has himself strayed) Furthermore, Blanchard exploits womens' natural romantic hopes by telling them that they can sometimes reform their husbands/boyfriends. Aren't there enough women desperately "working" on their relaitonships in vain? Wouldn't women be better counseled not to waste their lives with these men--that there is somone better out there? This book encourages women to coddle an unfaithful man--I thought we'd come a long way.
