Why Do Men In Power Cheat - The Tiger Woods Affair

Woods joins the list of famous men who cheated on their pretty wives much to the disconcert of the millions of fans around who thought he was above mortal defects.

So why did Tiger Woods have an affair and cheat on his beautiful wife? Most guys tend to believe that if they had an attractive wife they wouldn’t stray. But the reality shows us that men cheat irrespective of whether their wife is outwardly attractive or not. So what’s going on here, is it just the sex drive?

To cheat in a marriage, with children, is ethically offensive to most people. No wonder, he lost millions of dollars in endorsement as soon as the news came out.

It's difficult to guess why Tiger Woods cheated unless he gives an explanation of his own. All we ever saw of him was the image of a professional golfer. Here is a list of reasons why men in power cheat on their wives. One or more of these reasons could have played on Wood’s mind when he decided to go forth with an affair.

Lack of Physical Intimacy in the Relationship

Some men have some serious male-egos and it gets worse with power. The last thing they want to hear is a no to their demands. If his wife is high handed or bossy who denies him sexual pleasure time and again, he is bound to go astray.

Men can start hating their wives for wielding power over them. If he feels that he is being dominated by his wife, he will take seek vengeance secretly by cheating on her. Of course the roots of such behavior lie in insecurity and egoism. Wives of powerful men do get insecure themselves and in the bid to keep their men in leash they end up acting bossy or high handed. That’s of course a totally wrong way to hold on to a man, especially when he has power.

Men in power have more opportunity

They say that majority of men would cheat if they are given the opportunity. Men in power, like Tiger Woods, have plenty of opportunity to cheat because of their female fan following. It can oil a man’s ego to have so many girls swooning over him. When he sees such abundance of opportunities available he is bound to wonder if he’s being foolish to stay loyal to his wife. Men are naturally driven to mate with as many women as possible, that’s how the primitive’s lived. This tendency is still wired into the male brain. When plenty of opportunities make themselves available it’s really hard to resist.

The headiness that comes with power and success

There is an element of intoxication associated with huge success. When you know you are number one the success does get to your head. The surge of power through your body can give a high like no drug can. That’s when you feel like you can get away with anything.

The rush of impulsiveness

Tiger woods does not come across as a very impulsive man but you can never be sure. A few drinks, a lonely evening and a gorgeous blond swooning over you, can get a man blind sided. Did wood’s really think that he could get away unnoticed? The moment tiger woods cheated on his wife he should have foreseen the headlines on leading magazines – you can’t be famous and stay away from lime light. So possibly, tiger woods had an affair quite impulsively. His sincere apologies point to the fact that he does understand he’d fallen short of his standards of character.

So why did tiger woods cheat and in fact have multiple affairs? It could be any of the reasons above, but most obviously he let his drive control his character. Wives of powerful and successful men definitely have their work cut out for them if they want to keep their marriage stable.
